New Jumper

JT's Grandma Karen found a good deal on a bouncer and jumper.  He is enjoying both very much.  Thanks Grandma!!!

Thankful Thursday

It is Thursday again and honestly I am having a hard time thinking of things to be thankful for due to stresses at work but I will give it a try...

I am thankful for my husband that allows me to rant about my boss and is understanding rather than trying to fix it...

I am thankful for my parents who come and visit my on a regular basis b/c it is too expensive for us to be able to go and see them...

I am thankful that we always have choices, even when we feel like we don't, all be it they are small choices...

I am thankful for my in-laws and my parents that make sure that their grandson has fun things to help him grow and develop into a healthy human being but so far have been great about not spoiling him...

First Sick Day

This is "What are you doing Mom" look

He is much more interested in his foot than sitting up straight

This just being cute for the camera

"I love my toes"


We had to stay home from work and daycare of Monday b/c JT had a fever and just wasn't himself.  We think that he could be teething but we are not sure.  He was just fussy and wanted to cuddle and sleep with his momma so that is what we did.  This was a time when he was feeling better and we were practicing our sitting up :)

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful this week for....

it being uneventful...

JT surviving his first bite from a kid and it not breaking the skin...

a mother-in-law that cooks dinner for us Fri. and Sun. every other week...

getting extra money so that we could fill both gas tanks in our vehicles...

the reminder that I don't have to worry or fear, we will not struggle financially forever...

Thankful Thursday

I have some friends that blog that do thankful Thursdays and I thought that I would join in.  I got to thinking that it was important to focus on the things that I have rather than continually focus on the struggles and the things that I don't have especially right now and it will get me blogging consistantly.  So this week I am thankful for...

my baby giggling yesterday...

having a good daycare provider...

having a potential friendship building...

rain to water the lawn when I don't have time...

cooler evenings...

a baby that sleeps good at night...

and that God provides all the time and is in control

Four months old this week

Attending the Ridgeway Arts and Crafts show

His hand is so tasty but so is his thumb and fingers

Quality time with daddy

Blake riding the train at the Arts and Craft show


Our boy is four months old this week.  He has rolled over five times now.  He is continuing to talk up a storm and wiggles and jiggles like crazy.  This month he started for real daycare and loves it.  He love being around all the other children and they love on him.  I really like his daycare provider.  I get to go feed him at lunch which is a real blessing.  He continues to get bigger.  His check up is in a couple of weeks but it is estimated that his weight is around 14 pounds and is getting longer by the day, estimating that he is over 25 inches now.  He lived through his shots and didn't have any side effects (thank the Lord).  He is sleeping through the night for the most part and we have our morning and night routines. I would not go so far as to say we have a schedule :)  He is just a happy, sweet boy that is a super duper blessing to us. 

First Rockies Game

Making Grandpa Proud, Go Rockies

Content and Happy after watching the Rockies win at Coors Field



JT got to experience his first Rockies game on August 1.  He got to go with his Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Becky, Uncle Daniel, Dad, and Blake.  It was a good time had by all.  JT and I had to be creative b/c it was very hot. So we hung out at First Aid in the A/C and walked around looking at all the people.  We enjoyed spending time with Grandma at Grandma's house.  Blake informed us that he was going to live in an apartment with a swimming pool when he grows up just like my mom and be a bagger at City Market :)
