New Countertops

Namah's Visit

My mom came to visit this past weekend and it was so nice for Cadynce to have her Namah here to play with after being stuck at home with me for the past two weeks.  Namah and Cadynce played doll house almost every second of the day.  Don and I got to go out a couple times which is always nice.  On Valentine's Day we took my mom to breakfast at our favorite place and that night we went shopping and to dinner.  We also took a trip to the rodeo and there were so many people we just walked around and looked at the horses.  The lines were way too long to do anything fun, and the weather quickly changed to very windy and dark clouds so we got out of there.  Monday our new countertops were installed so we just hung out at home.  My mom also helped me paint our bedroom.  We had a great weekend and Cadynce had some great bonding time with Namah.  View Album for more pictures.

Donnie Clapping

Donnie has been really sick this past week with a high fever.  The poor kid has been miserable and just laying and sleeping on me all week (which is not like him at all!)  We went to the doctor and he's got a virus, but everything else checked out ok.  To make things a little more miserable he got another tooth in.  The other night Donnie woke up just a couple hours after going to bed so we brought him out to watch tv with us.  We were hanging out and he was pretty happy and started clapping.  It was so exciting that Don and I were both sitting there to enjoy his first clap.  Click here to see video.

San Antonio Rodeo/Super Bowl

We finally made it to our first San Antonio rodeo and we're planning on going one more time before it ends.  The rodeo goes on for three weeks and each night they have different entertainment after the rodeo.  Saturday night we got to see Tim McGraw perform and it was awesome!!

We ended up just staying home to watch the game because our friends got the flu.  We had a fun day up at the outlet mall.  We just got a sit n stand stroller and we got to use it for the first time.  It was awesome!  We got some wings and had chips and dip and enjoyed watching the game as a family.  View Album for more pictures.

New Haircut

Cadynce got a haircut the other day and she looks like a totally different little girl.  She did such a great job sitting in the chair all by herself while enjoying a sucker.

Donnie is 8 Months Old

Where did these last 8 months go?  Donnie is growing up so fast.  He finally got his first tooth yesterday;  one of his bottom teeth broke through and the other is close behind.   He has also been babbling quite a bit and he loves to say "ma ma" which just melts my heart.  Sign language is going to come in very handy for Donnie because he is quite the screamer.  He does a lot of yelling in the high chair when it's feeding time.  This boy likes to eat.  He also does a lot of yelling at Cadynce.  She loves to take his toys from him and he lets her know that he does not like that.  He does a pretty good job of putting up with his big sister, but there will be a day when he will be fighting back and it's not that far away.  Occasionally, I get to listen to them take turns screaming as loud as they  can...Donnie thinks it is hilarious which only makes this game more fun for Cadynce.
