Father's Day Weekend

Yes...I know I am a little slow on this posting but it has been REALLY busy around here lately and the blog is only a small part of the massive to-do list that I have.

So on Father's Day weekend, we went to my parent's house. Brad and I and the kid met my little brother, Brian, and his girlfriend, Sam, and his roommate...umm sorry don't remember his name...at my parent's house. Only my parents went to Dallas for the day. So we all got to lounge around and drink beer by the pool. It was great....very relaxing. My parents came home later that evening and we all got to hang out together. We got my father a grill for Father's Day . It was great!

Speaking of Father's Day....It was Brad's first one. Here is a my little tribute to what a great father he is to Jaxson.

1. Jaxson LOVES to hear Daddy call out his name in his deep voice... "Big Jax!"

2. Jaxson gets to spend 90% of bath time with Daddy

3. Jaxson LOVES getting to be tossed up in the air by Daddy

4. Jaxson LOVES to practice zerberts with Daddy

5. Jaxson LOVES to play peek-a-boo with Daddy and giggle with delight when he sees Daddy's smile.

6. Jaxson gets a goodnight kiss from Daddy every single night...no matter what is going on.

7. Jaxson gets to ride on the 4-wheeler with Daddy

8. Jaxson gets to see Daddy first thing every morning....secretly...this is Daddy's favorite!!

There are honestly so many other things that Brad does for his son. The unexplainable joy that I see on his face is so special to me and I am pleased that I get to treasure every moment with those two guys. They are my favorite people!! Happy Father's Day, Brad!!

Enjoy a couple of pictures and a video from that weekend:

Disappointed in America

I am pretty disappointed in the way that America has glorified Michael Jackson's death. Everyone states that he was a musical genius...the King of Pop....What about pedophile? He was a dirty man that liked little boys and abusing them. He was involved in 2 different child molestation cases that he settled out of. If you ask me, America is a better place and definitely safer because of his death. If you ask me...good riddance.

Some people are jerks

Well I wasn't going to post this subject but then I saw a news brief on the Today show talking about the same thing. Somebody slashed my spare tire on the back of my jeep. I mean, really??? Why would somebody do that? What is the point? If I pissed someone off, don't you think they would go after the four tires on the ground? But, no...they go after a spare tire just to be mischievous. So the news story that I saw was from Houston. A judge (A JUDGE!!!) was caught on video camera keying his neighbors car!! What the hell is going on with people??? Complete maliciousness...like I said...some people are jerks.

Our new floor!

Okay, I have a math equation for everyone....

...so we have been in our house for over 6 years......same carpet + two big dogs (dirty paws, little squirts of pee and throw up) + mutiple parties and get togethers = super nasty stained carpet...+...new small baby = KATY GETS A NEW FLOOR!!!!!

Here are some before photos:

Here are some in the middle photos:

The dirt that accumulates under the carpet (after vacuuming!)

The air cleaning going nuts from all the dust and dirt in the air while ripping up carpet.

And here is the finished product (minus the little bit of redecorating I need to do):

Brad's favorite trim work

Little Perks of Motherhood

My husband is AWESOME!!!! Look at this awesome Mother's Day ring that he gave me. It is BEAUTIFUL!!!! It is has Jaxson's name and birthdate written on the sides and a blue topaz (his birthstone) in the center. It is designed to be petite so that the next ring for the next kid can be fused with this one. I am sooo excited that my ring is finally here. The only unfortunate part is that my aggie ring has now been retired....but I think this is a good replacement!!

Yummy Carrots!!!

He likes carrots more than bananas! Whose child is this???

Bananas are a Success!!!

So enough with the bland old rice cereal. We are ready for big boy flavor.....Trial #1....BANANAS!!!!

Here are a couple of pictures and a video of our first trial!

"Um...mom?....What is THAT?!?!?!"

"Okay this is a little strange!"

"I like it!!! I like it!!!""
