Santa Land

Graham had to go to SANTA LAND!

Raymond and I both have memories of Santa Land as a kid, so it was a must that we took Graham. Well... Graham and I stood in line for about 30 minutes and then while we were in the car, Raymond stood in line almost an hour. It was a little colder than we thought. We were the last people to see Santa before his break only because Raymond talked them into it. "We only need the PICTURE!" So... here are the pictures at Santa Land!!!




Las Vegas

Raymond and I went to Las Vegas in the middle of December and had a great time. We stayed downtown at the Golden Nugget! We rented a car this time, which was great! We were able to go to the strip anytime we wanted. We took advantage of having the car and went to the Hoover Dam. WOW! Pictures of us at the Hoover Dam are about the only pictures I have of the trip. I did take some at the rodeo, but they are from far away. Brooks & Dunn performed before the rodeo!

Graham also did great with both Mom's. I am a little scared though to see the cell phone bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First Night Away!

Raymond and I are going to Vegas tomorrow and leaving Graham for 2 nights with my Mom and 1 night with Raymond's Mom. Raymond's Mom will just get the next night... whenever that may occur. This will be good for all 3 of us. :) It has only taken 7 1/2 months to get this done. Wish Raymond and I LUCK!!!!


Here are a couple of shots of Graham trying to feed himself!







Here is a shot of him trying to go with us! I am not sure if he would pass security or not! :)

How I feel!

Click on the link below to see what Peyton Manning sent me! This is how I have been feeling since Graham has been born, but I think I might finally be motivated to do something about it! I hope that Raymond gets a kick out of this. I found it on another blog and had to try it out!

Sorry, you will have to copy and paste, I don't know how to make a link yet!

Bull Sale and TTU vs. A&M



What a busy week we all had! We left Wednesday after school to head to Comanche for the Bull Sale. We love the Dudley family and so we decided to see what the bull sale was all about. Ray and Monica are wonderful people and I am so glad that Graham got to finally meet them.






We came back Friday afternoon for the Tech game on Saturday! I am so glad that we won! Graham joined in the fun after the game.

Graham's 2nd cousin Jordan started playing with him and got him to laughing. It was so FUNNY to watch the 2 of them. This went on for about 10 minutes straight!

Just More of Graham

We have started eating rice cereal and baby food. He liked the rice cereal for the 1st week and now does not care for it to much. He does like squash!



I think that he looks like Raymond in this picture.



Graham has started to grab his feet!

4 Month Doctor Visit

Raymond took Graham to the dr. last Tuesday while I was in school. Raymond will probably get to do a lot of this since they don't take many appointments later in the day!

Height: 25.2" (80%)
Weight: 15 lbs 7 oz (70%)
Head Circumference: 17" (85%)

Graham is doing great! He is not rolling over from his back to stomach yet but can get to his side and tries to get his leg over. He can roll from his stomach to his back without a problem and can raise up on his stomach to lift his head. He is getting so BIG!!!

School has also started and I am trying to balance everything. I feel like I go 90 MPH at everything I do, both school and home.

I was TAGGED!

I am not sure why I am doing this, but here we go!

The Rules:
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.

2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. (**if you’re a non-blogger, you can email them!)

4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.


__________________________________________________


1. I voted for Emmitt (Dancing with the Stars) off of every email that I had (3) plus Raymond's, and called in my votes off of my cell and house phone!!! I only did this much on the last dance. I really wanted him to win!

2. Raymond always took me to the park off of Chicago between 82nd and 98th in High School to break up with me! SO SAD!!!

3. Raymond and I have been together for 14 years (or so) minus break-ups. I think this number is right.

4. Graham's name has been picked out since the year 2000 by his DADDY!

5. Bill still drives the truck that Raymond and I had our first date in!

6. I was scared to death on our first date because the speedometer did not work and neither did the lights on the dash.

7. I have already scrap booked Graham's first 3 months of life!

8. I love My Space!!!

Melissa, Wendy, Angela, Deonne, Monica - these are my only blog buddies that have not been taged yet. I might have to hit up my 2 sister in laws and Kelly on my space. I hope that I did not leave any bloggers out!

Have Fun!

Graham's 1st Trip!

We went to Fredricksburg this last weekend and had a great time. Graham did really well. As long as we went by his little schedule everyone was happy! We stayed in a cottage outside of town on a working ranch. It was beautiful!!! I am sure that we will be back. It was the perfect place to take Graham. I did not have to worry if he started crying and woke up the neighbors. The elk would come very close to the cottage as you can see in the pictures below. It was very relaxing. I also got chased by the Mama elk below. I guess I got a little to close to her baby!!!













Graham also went swimming for the first time. I am not sure how much he enjoyed it, but he sure did look cute!!!





We also went to Luckenbach, TX!!! I had to post the picture of the rooster in the bathroom. Only in Luckenbach can you see that!






Well, I think that I have blogged enough for one day. I think that I am now caught up!

New Friends




Raymond has returned back to Station #1 as driver with a new crew. We have become good friends with the Martin's. They are a wonderful family with 2 precious little girls. Their youngest is only a couple of weeks older than Graham! Their oldest daughter put this baby doll by Graham and I was trying to get her to take a picture beside him. It did not work out as planned but the expression on Graham's face is priceless!!!

Fun pictures of GRAHAM!




Lunch with the Kindergarten Team!




I can't tell you how much I love the group of ladies that I work with. We all get along great! This will be a fun year because 3 of them are pregnant and due all within a couple of weeks of each other. (December) I am looking forward to watching them grow!

We are sadly losing one of our wonderful teachers. None of us want to see her go, but I knew that she would not be with us long. Her husband was here for law school. She better keep in touch!!! Hint Hint

Angela's Baby Shower




Angela is going to have a baby boy in October!

Amber just had a girl named Zoe a month ago and also has a 2 1/2 year old boy named Jeremy. Her kids were at home with her husband. Wendy's son Dane will be 2 in August and April's little girl Kenedy just turned 2 on the 4th. Next time maybe we can get Amber's children in the picture along with Angela's future one!

Happy 4th of July!

First of all, Thank you Kelly for taking pictures! Kelly took these pictures because I forgot to put the battery back in my camera that I remembered to bring!!!










Kelly and I took Graham and Braylee to the parade. We got there a little late, but it was perfect with the 2 that we had. Raymond was there working, so we went by to see him. After Raymond got off work we went to the Bell's house. We had a great time!
