life and times of Moose

-
I hate the saying, "time flies when you're having fun," mostly because it's true. And that's the worst time for time to fly because you're enjoying yourself. That's how I feel about the last 10 1/2 months. Tristan's first birthday is drawing closer and closer and it seems to be going faster and faster. I know it's because I've greatly enjoyed these months with him. It's hard for me to believe how much he's grown, and I'm having an even harder time trying to figure out where my time went (I think it was school). So, here's a sneak peek at the last nine months so you can see how much my babe has grown.
July 2007 - my little moose - so worth the 2 hours of pushing








August 2007 - our first family vacation!












September '07 - one of my favorite family pictures & times









October '07 - the thumb sucking began












November '07 - ha! I don't know but his eyes are really blue









December '07 - daddy's buckaroo









January '08 - he's pooping and this cracks me up every time












February '08 - eating out with me and Mrs. Spiderleg (before he begged for food)









March '08 - squinting and eating with my headbands in












April '08 - he may be bawling but he's still adorable









May '08 - my cuddle buddy (he cuddles less and less as time goes by, too sad)










Well, there were sneak peeks of my time with my Bubba. It's going by fast but I assure you that I'm enjoying every minute that I can. And even trying to enjoy every second, it doesn't always happen. I know I'm blessed and it's horrible how much I take it for granted sometimes. I do know that I try my hardest not to and to realize that life and God have been so good to me. I hope you enjoyed the "life and times of Moose."

So sweet! I love seeing babies grow up in pictures. I get to enjoy their cute little faces and I don't have to listen to their crying. It's the best!

ps I think your blog is cute! This was the template I originally started on and it's my favorite...I think people actually do it for a living though. I ran across one lady who will does the designs for fun and only accepts donations, whatever you can afford. I'm not sure what the lady doing mine typically charges, but you could sure ask her!! I can't wait to see how mine turns out!

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
