perfect weather

It was beautiful outside today. I happen to see the nasty weather headed this way for tomorow, so i figured i'd bring Julian outdoors today! he loves to play outside, since he wasnt able to do it much when we lived in the apartment!
So i packed up his block wagon, some trucks, and his 4 wheeler and we spend qt time getting some fresh air out in the back yard.

Mindy checked the mail for me today, and was nice enough to bring me my much needed debit card! Julian and Kenzie get along so well!... HM, well i was showing Mindy something on the computer i believe when we realized the kids were mighty quiet. YEAH well this is what we found!.. Julian and Kenzie had got in my cupboard and spilt my coffee creamer ALL ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR and from the looks of the evidence, and the amount of creamer i found in Julians diaper- THEY HAD A BLAST!

yesterday

Yesterday after Julians nap we went to Melissa's to spend some time, Here are some pictures from our afternoon..

On the way there, it was beautiful outside, so i cracked the windows! Julian was having a blast, he would throw his arms in the air like was on a roller coaster and squeel! :P


Idk what the deal was with his lunch..but he literally took one bite out of everything...and then went back and took another bite out of everything. It seemed like he was sitting there forever to eat his dinner. WEIRD.


I printed out some pages from the internet for kids to color. Ones says," Proud of my NAVY Dad!" we are sending these to daddy soon, so shhh..dont tell him!

fun field day!

Sorry again for not updating!!! We are finally moved into our little cozy apartment in Des Allemands. It is starting to feel like home, as the days pass- and we create memories here & put our own touches on things.
It has been so nice being around family and friends! I do not know how I am going to part from NOLA again!

I have made it through my first week back in college successfully! 90 on HLT 143 test & 93 on PSY 201! yay! anndd Julian has been adjusting just fine himself.

Today Mawmaw Linda came by this morning on her way to the grocery! :) Julian always loves riding mawmaw's horsey! While Julian napped i cleaned out the inside of our car and folded some laundry my mom had washed for me and dropped off. Once he woke up we went to Dylans birthday party at mawmaw&pawpaw Murphy's house! here are some pictures I snapped. ( Julian has adored pawpaw since the day he met him )

Path way to a happy, successful life!!

saying,"ohhhhhh"

My Pawpaw is my hero! He is the OX of our family, the strongest man i've ever met. He is fearless & such a kind person. Would help anyone who is in need, but is very honest and will tell you if you are doing wrong. I love him very much!

Pawpaw paying ball with Julian.

:) ball Mommy.

pawpaw was fixing his orange tree, and Julian was tring his best to help him!!

after the party, we stopped by Mawmaw Linda's so I could wash the outside of the car & she made us a togo plate of Hotdog skettie! && upside down pineapple cake!! Yuumm.. Julian and I really enjoyed our dinner && desert tonight- THANKS MOM! :)

ahhh! i got Julian some "shit kickers" LMAO. they are the cutest thing!!!!!!

I took this picture for you mrs. Debbie( he was snuggling his George you got him for xmas!!) Can you tell my baby was pooped after playing all day!!

i will post pictures later of the apartment- check out my blog for the fun stuff!

few & far inbetween

i realize the updates have been few and far inbetween.. but the move has really been putting a weight on my shoulders. I haven't had much time for anything other than the move & getting settled in.

the move was as expected, exhusting, but im so glad it was over. I had been feeling very anxious about our travel arrangments. In october when we flew- Julian was a holy terror, so I thought for sure this go around would be even harder and minus Josh. But to my surprise, it was actually alright. :) the monkey horest made a big difference..I am very glad I bit the bullet and got it.

Once we got here it was lost of preparing, and unpacking, visiting and tring to settle. The settle part still isnt set in, being its been so cold down here && my place doesnt have a central heat. What happend to NOLA having 40 degg and 30 degree winters? freakkingg 20 and UNDER..is just so out of the norm for South Louisiana. I am so looking forward to the weather getting back to normal so I can settle and get Julian back on track & let him know he does in deed have a HOME.
I am looking to get serious with potty training as soon as we get settled. Julian has been introduced for a good 3 months now and has done number 1 and 2 on the potty already. But sadly, i wasnt able to inforce it 100 % because of the move. But i think that turned out to be better for us, in the long run.

My camera is dead && still packed in a box but I plan to start taking pictures again && blogging regularly, cable and internet will be set up TOMORROW thank god!

Hope you all had a safe and happy holidays!

babywipes?

The other night Tabatha brought her kids over we were going to scrapbook(which that did not happen) but anyways.. I had taken the top part of my bassinette out for Lauralie to sleep in which we were "scrapbooking". The day Julian and I had mommy, son time & did some arts and crafts & then watched Frosty. Julian thought the basinette was the coolest thing on earth from the time he spotted it! So he sat in the bassinette and watched Frosty & gave me the entire couch to myself :P haha. Oh, how much time Julian spent in his bassinette next to my bed.. :)

It's been a crazy household here with only 13 days left til the big moving day. It's such an emotional roller coaster, and oh so bitter sweet. Glad to be moving closer to family & having them get to know Julian, excited to have my own place to stay & that it has a yard inthe back for Julian to play outside more, SO GLAD to be saving and paying off bills.. But so very sad to be living Virginia, my new home & saying goodbye to my husband for 8 months! :(

Today I was packing up the kitchen and noticed Julian was not in my leggs like he usually is, espcially when I am sitting on the floor in the kitchen!!! When I walked out I turned to face our christmas tree & my son standing in front of it redecorating it with baby wipes!

I can tell he watches me very closely- because I just stood their quietly for a minute and watched what he was doing- & he was putting it on the tree, then taking it off and putting it back on, just in a different place. hahaha.. I am never happy, and always moving around orniments. I thought it was super cute what he was doing!. My little turkey! :P

enjoy! :)
