Busy week

Wow...it's been a very busy week. I know the house so messy and dirty because we have spent so much time away this week. But, it has been such a nice week (weather wise) that we have spent a lot of time outside. Several evenings, we have taken walks after dinner and pushed Eddie on his tricycle.

Let's see, I will have to update the pictures later (I actually took some pictures while out this week). We went to Champion's park on Tuesday and Eddie played in the sand. We met Riley and Kelly so that Riley and Eddie could play. At first Eddie was saying "dirty, dirty" about the sand, but eventually had fun playing in it. Wednesday, we went to Arrowhead ranch where Eddie got to ride a horse/pony and hold a rabbit (rather large bunny). He ran away from the goats. Then on Thursday, we met some of our Kindermusik buddies at Brushy Creek Lake park and ran around. Eddie like the swing most of all.

Eddie had a couple of bumps on the head this week that scared mommy very much. We went over to Aunt Jamie and Uncle JJ's and Eddie was hit by a falling shelf. He cried for a bit and we called Daddy because Mommy was so scared. He just has a little bump on the top of his head. No blood and no visible bruised. Then the next day, at Brushy Creek Park, a girl went running past Eddie and smacked into him sending him face first into the mulch. He screamed and came up with a mouth full of mulch. He seemed to be OK after some juice and graham crackers. Then, a little while later, our neighbors across the street brought over a larger tricycle for Eddie and he was sitting on it in the living room. Daddy threw a ball or was it tried to block Eddie's ball (can't quite remember)...all I remember is Eddie turning to try to get the ball and then landing face first on the carpet.

I know that boys are tough, but it was hard on Mommy to see him get all of these bumps in such a short amount of time. No football for Eddie, no matter how much he begs. I know he can still get hit in baseball, basketball and soccer, but the ultimate goal is not hurting each other in these sports.

Anyway, now I am just trying to decide if we should make another trip out. If we decide to go out today, I would like to take him to see the Biscuit Brothers. They are playing a free concert that is part of SXSW (a famous music festival here in Austin). The problem is because it is free, everyone will probably be there and it will be chaotic. Plus, it is at 2:30 which is right at nap time, so I'm not sure how much he will enjoy it. I think I will probably just see how the morning goes and his temperament this morning my decide if I will venture out in the crowd and the heat with him or if we will just chill at the homestead.

House Party

I got picked and they sent the stuff, but I cannot find the Sargento Finisher for salads and potatoes.

Have a great day!!

Busy

OK, so today I am being lazy and catching up on the DVR.
But we have been on the go the past two days. I will post some pictures later (I have not set that up on the laptop, yet).

Sunday, we went to a Longhorn baseball game courtesy of our neighbor, Carlos. We had seats in a suite and hot dogs and nachos provided. Eddie had a blast going inside and out to watch "ball, ball, ball." Plus, we witnessed a no-hitter. It was loads of fun!

Yesterday, Monday, I took Eddie down to the capital to see the Biscuit Brothers in concert. They were playing on the south steps of the capital to promote a new cd that they are going to make about Texas. Eddie really enjoyed it. We have been watching their show on PBS. It's all about music. He really loves it and dances around the living room to it. He was a bit scared because there were so many people, but he managed a few smiles and bouncing on my lap a few times! When I took him over to Dusty and Buford, he shook their hands. He was so excited! He has his own way of saying 'biscuit' right now. When I ask him if he enjoyed seeing the Biscuit Brothers, he nods and says "uhu."

That's all for now....I am going to rest some before he is up from his nap!

update

OK, it's been crazy around here. I have a resolution to try to update this more often....say at least monthly. Even if no one reads this, I plan on doing this to try to help when I go to scrapbook.
Let's see, what has been going on since December. We went to NY right after Christmas. Eddie experienced his first snow. I took video, I don't think I took pictures. I think my father-in-law took some pictures. I need to ask him so that I can get some copies. Big Eddie was excited to have the snow, too. When we first arrived in NY the snow practically totally melted by New Year's Eve, then a big snow. Little Eddie did not like being placed in the snow by his Daddy with the large flakes blowing in his face.
We came back and have been trying to get on a schedule. We made a quick trip to Louisiana to see my grandmother...we had word that she was not doing well. She lost her battle with cancer and we buried her earlier this month.
I am at 18 weeks in the pregnancy. We have an ultrasound in 2 weeks. As with Eddie, we are going to wait until L-Cat is born to find out if we have Liam Daniel or Cathryn Ann. I am still feeling tired and upset to my stomach. I haven't gotten sick, just food does not sound very good to me.
We finally got a laptop....that is what I am typing this on right now. I am so excited that I can watch some TV and check email at the same time. Now I just have to change my email address to a google account that I can check online.
Well, I am going to have to close this post for now and I will go back later and put some pictures from out picasaweb album with comments later.
If anyone checks this....please let me know...if not, maybe I will just go back to journal writing....but if you are interested in hearing my babblings, please let me know.

Scared of Santa

I was going to try to use this for our Christmas card, but I think he looks too scared. I thought I got the picture before he started screaming....oh, well.

BCS Sucks

BCS rankings suck.......I'm sure you can tell why I feel this way.....Hopefully Missouri will stomp OU!!

Announcement

It is time to announce that we are expecting baby #2. I took a test this morning and it was positive. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as it is very early. It looks like the due date will be sometime in July.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS????

I just filled up for this price in Taylor tonight. I cannot remember when I paid below $2 for gas. It seems like so long ago.

1st BBQ

Eddie loves barbeque!! We took him to the new Saltlick in Round Rock (the original location is more than an hour away and this new one is only about 15 minutes away). We tried to feed him some BBQ and he would not have any. When we were close to done, he decided that he might like it and proceded to eat quite a bit of brisket and many beans!! He loved his BBQ.

Pumpkin Patch

Eddie went to the pumpkin patch in Elgin with some of his friends from Kindermusik. He has so much fun. We took a hay ride through the Christmas trees that they grow here.
