busy week...

i know i know, me and my excuses for not doing a better job of keeping up! BUT truly.. life is so busy! My days are crammed shut! I am oh so ready for a day to do NOTTA THING! I have tried to still take a good amount of pictures although i wasnt blogging.

Last week, on Tuesday Josh had the day off so we brought Julian to Botanical Gardens! Since he is walking he enjoyed it a whole lot. I can NOT wait to have a home with a yard so we can all three go outback and play!! Juju just loves the outdoors!

Wendesday, Josh had work again, and Julian and myself just hung out and did house work / school work.

Thursday, Josh was suppose to leave for a few weeks.. so Tabatha and I scheduled to get together to start our bible studies together that afternoon! They came over around 1, after both the boy's naps and she oh so kindly brought over pizza for lunch. The boys use to have somewhat of a difficult time together because the age difference and Gabryel sometimes forgets..haha but lately i guess since Julian is walking and more independent... the two are so good playing together! They push trucks, play blocks..and just goof off, its such a pleasure to sit and watch! :) Needless to say, Josh's ship didnt leave so he came home that afternoon! :)

Friday, the ship did in fact leave, and Julian and myself went grocery shopping at walmart then headed to chesapeake. I was helping Tabatha's mom to make the baby shower cake!.. Yum! it turned out so sooo well! Mrs. Deb also cooked gumbo, and we also did a little work for Lauralies room! :) i can NOT wait to meet her! We didnt get back home until 12:30 that night!

Saturday, I was suppose to head back to Chesapeake to help clean up before the shower the following day, but found myself very sluggish from staying up the night before, and swamped with homework. soo that in deed didnt happen. Plus I needed to wrap my Lauralie friends presents!

Sunday, we did not attend church due to the fact that we went over to the shower early to help put things together and decorate for Tabathas shower. The turnout was great, and everything went very smoothly! :) ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE MEETING OF LAURALIE! YAY!

There were other ones but these were the big big ones!

Today is Monday, and its 10:37, I just finished doing my beth moore bible study, it just is better to do it in the mornings, i find it starts me day off better!! Julian slept so well last night, didnt wake at all! .. He's sleep patterns have been so weird.. i knew something was going on, but wasnt quite sure until today! HE HAS A BIG BACK TOOTH COMING THROUGH! SOooo he has orejel in, and is sucking a icecube in his munchkin and has already been given Motrin. Poor baby has a big lump on his gums.. and has been having rotten diapers all morning long! Thankfully, no fever yet.. i just can not stand teething.. it makes me hurt for him! :( but im keeping my fingers crossed that this one comes out quickly! I had plans to bring Juju to the park today, but its been gloomy and rainy all morning, and evidently it rained last night as well! so looks like we are staying in our jammies today and indoors.

^ i put ice in his munchkin for him to suck on!..lol

^ You can tell my baby wasnt feeling well.. he was laying down on the floor just watching his toons.









Finally after oregel, ice and motrin.. he perked up a little bit! :)

that is pretty much our life lately in a nut shell!

last three days

Well since the 20th its seriously been 90- nothing! But i managed to get some pictures taken from our busy but fun days!
Yesterday was pretty much a cleaning day & school work day! The picture below was a picture of me and julian waiting for da da to come home! Yesterday Julian really suprised me! Josh always calls when he is on his way home from work, and I always tell Julian," Juju daddy is coming home! He will be here soon!" then i'll bring him by our sliding glass door that over looks the parking lot. Yesterday after i told julian that daddy was coming home he went straight to the sliding glass door.( AND YES HE KNOWS OUR CAR THE MINUTE IT TURNS IN THE PARKING LOT HE STARTS YELLING AND LAUGHING) Well josh was taking longer than usual, so i called to see where he was ( being that julian was waiting). He had hit some bad weather so i put a movie on for julian so he wouldnt get upset when daddy never showed up with in the few minutes like he would normally. Julian then walked to our bedroom door(that remains closed) and hits it a couple times, and yells,"DADADADADADA" haha i laughed because he knows on the weekends when i get him out his crib.. i usually walk to our bedroom and daddy is usually still laying in bed. SO i opened the door to show him that daddy wasnt in there.. he laughed a few times thinking he might be hiding or something.. idk?.. but needless to say.. Josh finally came home and Julian was oh so glad to see daddy!



^ Juju loves to play with mommys jewlery!

hes so cute..he looks like hes posing!

^here too! Hes such a lil ham!

On Sunday, Josh had to go in for duty in the afternoon, so he stayed home with Julian(he had a snotnose) while I went to church. I didnt get to go into service, but i did get to work in the daycare. :) i really enjoyed that. After church Tabatha, Gabryel, Kyrie, Julian and myself went to the zoo!

^idk why but julian loved these the best!

the pictures below are from after the zoo! The mess behind Julian is laundry the my hubby decided to be oh so kind and start for me before going into work! :) thanks hunny! (so no.. im not a slob.. its just clothes that wasnt yet folded! )

^ i had to put ju's carseat into tabathas car because josh needed to take ours for work. So once we got home i had to bring it upstairs! I took this picture for you Erica, it reminded me of some pictures of Brody! :)



Saturday, Man on man did it storm! Hurricane Bill didnt give us much wind, but we did get our share of rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


see the maroon truck back there? the water was half way up it's tire before the day was over. Many people flooded this day! Thankfully we didnt! :)

My husband is such a kid at heart & has such a passion for weather! Yes this is him playing in the weather!

And that was pretty much our weekend! Enjoy!
