Poppy & Butty Were HERE!!

Oh WOW, I'm so far behind (in all areas of my life) and trying to get caught up! Will it ever really happen!??? Stay optimistic. Stay optimistic. Stay optimistic. Nahhhh....., it won't happen!

So..... Poppy & Butty (my dad and step-mom), came out from Colorado, to pay us a visit a few weeks ago. We showed them around Gruene, had a beer in Luckenbach, toured some wineries in Fredericksburg, and sent them to a Bonnie Raitt concert as an early Christmas gift. We loved having them here and wish they could have stayed longer!

Although, I'm sure Poppy doesn't miss being sandwiched between an infant and screaming 2 year old in the back middle seat!

Ladies Night

Last night, I took Salem to her first ever movie experience @ the IMAX theatre in San Antonio. My girlfriend, Jenni, also took her daughter, Emerson, who Salem just adores! We saw Earth, and HIGHLY recommend for anyone out there with little ones who are looking to venture out & kill some time this summer. Salem did extremely well, and I'll even consider doing it again in the near future. We got all dressed up, painted our toes, put makeup on, did our hair (she ripped hers out in about .2 seconds... it was all up in clips and looked so cute; but no, she HAD to have the headband that didn't match a bit...oh well!) We went out to eat, grabbed smoothies, coffee (you didn't expect me to sit through a movie and 2 toddlers without, did you?), a Target snack run to get whatever treats/snacks we wanted, popcorn, etc., and then it was ON!!!! She sat through the entire film with only an occasional "Momma, it's time to go to our house!" (followed by a few fake tears... when she would get scared.) BUT..... she pushed through like a trooper a fell asleep in her pj's on the way home. Love it!

DO NOT GO IN THERE!!!!!

Salem, and her new BFF, Mccoy, decided that they were going to take dookie's together the other afternoon. They thought it was the greatest thing!

Who U Callin' Fat????

STATS:

*19 pounds

* Size 12-18 month clothes (HE JUST TURNED 5 MONTHS!!!!!)

Oh my, my little man isn't so little anymore, he's HUGE!!! We went from 0-3 month clothes, straight to 12-18 (and managed to skip everything in-between.) How does that happen? Salem did the EXACT same thing, I just wasn't prepared for it, again.

So, Yaya (aka my Mom), just left yesterday. Salem doesn't know what to do with herself and is constantly going into the guest room, stands next to the bed, puts her head in her hands and asks over and over for her Yaya to come back. So sad. Luckily for her (and me!), Poppy and BuTTY (aka my Dad and Stepmom), get her tomorrow for 5 days! After next week, her world will really be rocked when daddy, Poppy, and BuTTy all leave the same day and she's left with just...... ME for 2 weeks!!! Does anyone out there want to come visit and entertain my child for me!???? Please!
