Splish Splash My Car Needed a Bath!

With today being one of the last days of warm weather, Matalie and I decided to have a little car wash. Matalie might just have the skills needed to become the next employee of Rimes' Mobile Detailing! (Or not. I mean, you can kind of tell my truck got washed. At least in certain places. Haha.) No matter what, we had a great time savoring what could be one of the last nice and warm days before winter comes in with all it's vengeance.

Maddux is 6 months

This past week Maddux turned 6 months old. My baby boy is growing up tooooooo fast! Just in the past couple of weeks he has started to get on all 4's and try and crawl. He has mainly gotten the leg part of it figured out but hasn't realized he needs to move his hands as well. So what happens when you move your legs but not arms when crawling?......FACE PLANT. Its not pretty people. I think he will get it soon enough. He is also getting alot better at sitting up on his own. I think he will pretty much have that conquered before the end of the week.That boy is also a great eater. In the past month he has eaten mac and cheese, a Logan's roll,a pop tart and some hamburger helper. Did I mention he doesn't have a tooth in his mouth?? He is also obsessed with trying to get MJ's sippy cup. When he does manage to get it, he goes to town drinking whatever she has in there. We took him to the pediatrician for his checkup and he stats are:

Weight: 16 pounds 11 oz (25-50th percentile)
Height: 27 and 1/4 inches (75-90th percentile)
He got 1 shot which I believe what his HIB. Speaking of vaccines, Matalie was exposed to chickenpox at church on Sunday and has not received her vaccine for it so we are on high alert for chickenpox for the next 2 weeks. The little boy who had it, had his vaccination but still managed to get it. He had no signs or symptoms of it at church. They showed up on him on Monday after he had already exposed all the kids in the nursery. Oh well, I guess we can go ahead and get them and get that out of our way.

Disclaimer* Matalie was 16 pounds 8oz and 28 inches long at 9 months!

Back From Vacation!

I know there is no excuse for taking a nearly 2 month break from blogging but I can try and appease you with as many excuses that you will allow. First off, we had a trip to Louisiana, Mississippi and a pit stop in Memphis that took us about a week and half. Then about 2 weeks later we headed to Dallas for a week of training for Jared. On our way there we stopped in Tulsa to visit the McCains. After the training was over we headed to Houston to see Amanda and the kids. Well, when we finally got home, I realized that my computer charger was still on vacation in Houston. I guess it needed a little longer of a vacation due to the fact that it got sent out in the mail and was returned to sender for being 22 cents short on postage. Mr. Charger finally made it home from vacation but this momma has been busy with 2 sweet kiddos that keep my way busy.






While we were in Mississippi, we were able to see Selah in concert at Dad's church and it was AMAZING. We had a great time at the concert and it was even better being able to go to dinner with them and really get to talk to them.






I will try and be a better blogger! No more 2 month vacations. Well......maybe not. No promises.
