We're baaaack...

Just wanted to say we are back safely with lots of stories to tell. More to come later when I am able to walk around the downstairs of my house...without breaking the OTHER foot!

I will try to hurry with pictures, I know you are all waiting patiently.

Goodbye...for now

Just wanted to let everyone know not to expect a post from me for a while. Over 2 weeks to be exact. Well, unless I find a computer to jump on really quick to say hello.

You see, my Disney counter in the top corner of my blog officially says 17 hours so...we are off. Well, not just yet. We have to finish loading the car and take a little rest (think anyone will actually sleep?) before we head on our merry way.

Hope you all have a wonderful 2 1/2 weeks without us. Don't you worry though, when we get back, I will have tons (seriously) of photos to share. See, after the last (only 10 measly days) trip, I had over 1,200 to share. Can you imagine what I will have after this monstrous trip!

So, we will miss you all...but rest assured, we will be having a fantastic time!

See you real soon!

Look out Mickey, here we come! Finally!!

How could I have TOTALLY forgotten Weekly Wednesday?

Ok...so I am sure you know that this was not actually taken this Wednesday, but I am sure we can all agree to forgive me, as I have a very full plate right now! And besides, this was just too stinkin' cute to keep all to myself.

Hopefully one day soon, although not too soon, I will post more pictures of our fun Memorial Day Weekend (you remember the one? Where I broke my ankle!) at the lake with part of our family. But this will have to do for now.

It is not easy packing for 6 people to be gone for over 2 weeks! I am stressin' people! 85 suitcases packed, only 23 more to go! LOL

Happy Thursday!

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest with each other, and live to tell about it, most of the time anyway. When you are finished here, head on over to MckMama's blog to see a list of more not me's. You will be so glad you did!

Whoa, what a 2 weeks since my last Not me! I was not super happy that we skipped the Not me's! last week. I might have felt more unnecessary pressure to get my post done.

Since you last heard read, I did not break my ankle, nope, not me! I am not so clumsy that I would have fallen...INTO a boat. Nope, never would have happened. Glad it didn't either, because you might have noticed the counter in the top right corner that says something like 6ish days to Disney World! Wheew, glad I am all in one piece. I mean seriously, who wants to be in a stylish walking boot to go to Disney World!

Speaking of the trip we are not taking to Disney in 6 days, I am not so unorganized that my upstairs game room looks like a department store erupted and clothes flew everywhere! Nope, I am on task and ALL of our stuff is packed and sitting by the door waiting to be loaded. I have everything we could possibly need or want, all packed up nicely in matching luggage and color coordinated by person, including any overnight bags we need for the trip.

I am not so excited that I can barely contain myself and my kids are not absolutely busting at the seams wanting to know how many more days we have. Nope, not them. They do not get excited.

Did I mention that I DO NOT ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS WALKING BOOT THAT IS ON MY FOOT? Nope, I love it. I do not know how I have lived my life without it. It is stylish, light, cool, and the most wonderful color of black, it is comfortable and super easy to walk in. I just love how it makes my heel feel too! Yep, I love this thing! I am going to get one for everyone I know. Please let me know ASAP if you too would like to be added to my list to receive one of these beauties! Taking orders through tomorrow at noon CST! Come on, you KNOW you want one!

Well, I am not going to cut this short because I have to hobble run excitedly to Target with 3 kids in tow.

If any of you have any suggestions on how to make this boot more comfortable, please do NOT leave a comment with your suggestion...I do NOT want any help with this! Oh, and I have not purchased 2 different types of gel heel pads along with trying out the heel cup the doctor's office gave me.

That is my Not me! for this week. I will not be taking the next 2 Mondays off, because I will not be at Disney World with my family having the time of my life stuck in this stinkin boot sporting a cool walking boot!

Now, head on over to see the folks at My Charming Kids and see what everyone else has not been doing!

Weekly Wednesday on his 9 month birthday!

Lots of pictures today...and I was on one leg doing them...I am sure they are not very creative but they sure are precious!

My sweet baby boy is 9 months old today. I just cannot believe how big he has gotten; although, he is the smallest one I have had at this age. He is our little fellow. He has gotten to be so funny, he has an amazing personality. And of course we think he is super smart!

He really likes to make silly faces, he copies us when we make faces at him. He copies us when we talk to him. He can say Mama, Dada, hi and of course several other "words" that we do not know!

He is such the little ham!

His smile just melts my heart. It makes my day just to wake up and look at his beautiful little face.

He must be teething, he chews on stuff non stop. Still no evidence of impending arrival though. Maybe one day!

He can clap and wave and he dances too!

His giggle can stop you in your tracks. He is just the sweetest baby ever!

He likes to give hugs and kisses...

and did I mention the silly faces?

Our precious baby boy, what a joy to be around. I just cannot believe he has been with us for 9 months already. On one hand, I do not remember life without him, on the other, it seems like just yesterday he made his debut into this crazy family. Where does the time go?

Guess what...

this is my right leg...

and we are leaving for Disney in less than 12 days!

'Nuff said?

UPDATED TO ADD: Today I did get a walking boot. Hopefully that will help.

Weekly Wednesday...Weirdo Style

The silly face makes another appearance, I just love it.Mr. Poser...It has become nearly impossible for me to get a "normal" picture of him. Welcome to my new normal.Sidewalks are dangerous, don't you know?Filling out Mad Libs with Daddy...The silly little white dog. We were picnicking outside. Do you think he is going to be far from the action? Nope, there is a real possibility of food being dropped.Ketchup and green marker...yummy! Cheesin' for Daddy!

Mommy and Boog.

Mommy got a new 'do! What do you think? Of course I hardly ever put pictures of myself up on here so unless you "know" me, you might not have even noticed. By the way, it is a pretty drastic change. Well...sort of.
Ah ha! I got a real smile!

The little white dog makes another appearance.

And the star of the show...with another silly face.

We have really enjoyed the "not typical" Texas weather the last few days. We have been cooking out and eating in the back yard! What fun!
