11 Months

Dear Fletcher, 


11 months already? Where did the time go? Just yesterday you looked like this....

And now you are 28lbs and 32in. long! You are growing up so fast! You started walking last month and now that's your favorite thing!!

Last night you even thought you belong in the extra refrigerator! (Yes, we have to have 2!) 

 

You have ditched your high chair and you eat at the table with the family every night! And no more baby food for you, your all about some table food. Your favorites are cheeseburgers, bread, cheese, cole slaw, and bananas! And of course you have to have your yogurt every morning!!! You are still drinking bottles in the morning, at nap time and at bedtime.  You are getting to be a fan of your "cuppy", but you will only drink out of them if they have cars on them!

You have such a personality now! You are a total daddy's boy and you get so excited when he comes home from work everyday. You stay by his side until bedtime and he loves every minute of it! Your favorite game is peek-a-boo and you sit for hours and play with your toys taking each one of them out of your toy box. Your favorite TV show is still Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and you will stop whatever your doing and watch it every morning! You are so much fun to hang out with everyday and I am so proud to call you my monk!! 

 

 

 

love you forever,
Mommy

Playdate

Saturday morning Fletcher met his best buddy KP at the park. This was Fletcher's first official "playdate". 

FAR and KP on the swings

Far playing in the dirt, trying to eat bark.

After we played we walked to the Square to a Cupcake Sale that my brother's church was having and Michelle & I enjoyed yummy cupcakes (Our boys don't like sweets) 

Fun morning with our besties!!

Today was a FAIRY tale

Every year a great organization in our community puts on the coolest fundraiser! Chimney Park, is a park that is for children of all kinds. Its in the woods and this year they were raising funds for paths for kiddo's with wheelchairs so they can enjoy the park too. So Fletch and I met up wtih Amy, Caroline & Lizzy and went to the Fairy Houses.

 
(FAR was one hot tired baby)

For $3.00 a person you can walk around and look at the houses and make fairy wings, fairy dust, and collect fairy treasure (That's just a few of the things) The girls LOVED it. Fletch on the other hand was hot and tired and grumpy. I cant wait until next year when he will be running around and playing too!! There also was a petting zoo! 

 FAR didn't know what to think! 

 OOOO Chicken! 

 Love this photo! 

FAR wanted to take the chicken's head off! 

Great afternoon! And the best part? RB kept FAR after we got home and I went and got my nails and toes done with my momma!!! AND he cleaned the kitchen. I married a keeper! 

Random shot on our honeymoon.

Where's Sherman when I need him???

For Tiffany @ The Coffeehouse... This was in my backyard when I got home tonight. I immediately thought of your Sherman and his love for the evil ones. 

Can you mail me Sherman so he can take care of  this for me? ;) 


If you don't know who Tiffany or Sherman are you can read about them here.

Running like a Fireman... say what?!

Almighty guys and gals. If y'all know me, you know I. Don't. Run. At all. No way no how. Once upon a while ago I was challenged to work out with a friend who used to work at a gym. Every morning we would start out on the treadmill where he would pump out 4-5 miles in the time I'd walk 1. and THEN we would begin working out. For all of you that are asking, no I don't think he's human. 

Ducky finishing a 5k a few months back. 

Well lately my circle of close friends are all into running. Even my husband.  In my head I don't understand it at all, but to each their own! I'll tell you like it is. Big girls don't run. The boobs get in the way unless you strap them down with duct tape and things jiggle that are not supposed to jiggle.. i'm just saying.  But I have to be the follower and do whatever my friend so insert the

Annual Covington Fireman's Memoral Trust "Fire House 5K"

That I am registering to run in. Now let me take that back. They have a 5k which my husband will be doing (His First! I am so excited for him!) along with 3 of our closest friends. Then they have a 1 mile Run/Walk which this girl will be doing along with another friend and our kiddos. How much will I actually run? Probably not much. If any at all. But will I feel like I won first place brag to all my friends wearing my spiffy t shirt I get for participating? You better believe it. 

Maybe i'll just steal the trophy and go eat some Mexican. I'm okay with that too.

What's in My Purse?

This post is inspired by Kate @ The Small Things Blog. She's doing an entire series of some of her blogger friends purses. Now I was not officially asked to do this by her, even though were besties.... Okay i'm lying. Kate wouldn't know me if she walked past me. BUT I discovered her blog via Pintrest  and fell in love with it. So I thought I would give it a try. 

It's my pink patent leather Coach  that was a gift to myself and I absolutely love it!! 

The inside. 

1. Glasses case: I don't drive in my glasses so I use this case to put them in when i'm driving. 
2. Pouch with Nail tools and tweezers.
3. Pens: I always cary my pink glitter pen and a blue pen. My favorite kind of pens are the cheep kind. Medium point ALWAYS! 
4. Hand Sanitizer: from Bath & Body Works
5. Keys
6. My Verizon EnV: Love it. Wouldn't trade it for anything. If I ever upgrade it will be the day I finally own an iphone. 
7. Wallet: Also from Coach. It's the perfect wallet! It holds my checkbook and has a spot for everything! 
8. Birth Control. 
9. Pink Sunglasses: (gift from a friend)
10. Coupons: Now I don't coupon everything like the Extreme show on TLC but there are certain things in life you don't buy without coupons. Like diapers. 
11. Church Bulletin: Our church is awesome! Check it out here. 
12. My iPad:I. am. addicted. to my ipad. There are no other words. 
13. Brag Book: You can never leave your house without photo's of your baby!!! :)
14. Clinique pouch: It holds all the necessities. See below:

1. Aquafina lip gloss: If I want to shine :) 
2. Burts Bee's chap stick: The best ever!! 
3. Regular chap stick. it's my backup. 
4. Covergirl Lip Gloss. This is the closest to lip stick this girl gets. 
5. Hair tie. I have hair tie's EVERYWHERE. In my car, purse, diaper bag, and usually on my wrist and in my hair. I have a bad habbit of wearing my hair up 90% of the time. 
6. Bobby pins, and little hair clips to pull my hair out of my face if by chance it's down. Usually I offer this stuff to people so they won't take my hair ties. my absolute necessities: sunglasses, burt's bees chapstick, lip pencils, and iphone. can't. live. without.

my absolute necessities: hair tie, cell phone, ipad, burts bee's chap stick. 

most random thing i carry: Probally my church bullatin. Sometimes a random baby shoe or cup. 

small purse or large: LARGE! But if i'm at a concert, festival, etc I usually just use a clutch and throw it in Fletch's diaper bag. 

change purse with outfit?: Nope. 

wallet matching bag?: Yes! My wallet matches the inside fabric of my bag. 

So I have to ask.... What's in your purse?  leave me a comment and i'll check it out :)

The Bump

Meet Amy 

This girl has been in my life for over 10 years. 

 

She gave my my first kids. Okay they are not really mine but I love them like they are. And I pretty much raised them. I tell her all the time I taught them everything I know... 

And they love my guy like their brother anyway, so I might as well keep them :)

Anyway.... Amy met this guy

And between the two of them they have this

Yup. His 4 + her 2= 6. And long story short they thought they couldn't have any together. And they were sad... We even came up with clever ways to get her preggers. Welll we didn't need to do anything because This happened 

 Baby Puckett @ 14 Weeks

The Bump. Number 7! I am so excited. Baby Green Bean as he/she has been named for the time being, will be here in October. MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!  Since i'm not getting pregnant anytime soon being as i'm too busy loving on my 10 month old, this is second best. 


I get a cuddly baby and I don't have to get more stretch marks! It's a win win ya know.

Learn That!!

This weekend never ended. I loved every minute of it don't get me wrong but I don't think I ever sat down..  Some of the highlights:


We went to a LCB (Low Country Boil) with some of my besties! 

The leftovers...

 

 My honey wanted his booty on the blog ;)

FAR found his best buddy KPs car and fell in LOVE! I know what this momma and daddy will be buying for his first birthday.... 

 

Saturday was spent cleaning house and cutting grass. But of course no pics were taken of that :)  one of Fletch's favorite people Lauren came to visit! He adores her!! And also His Aunt Stacy and Tay too :) 

RB had to work all night Sunday night which meant that we got to go to church as a family Sunday morning. (Because he works in retails that doesn't happen often.) That was soo nice. Nothing like worshiping next to your husband! Can I get an AMEN? 

Taken on Easter: But we were headed to church then too!! ;) 

So that was my weekend. Later while the crazy baby goes down for a nap ill be posting about THE BUMP!
