TEARIN SOME CORN UP!!

A DATE IN T'TOWN

Matthew and I decided to go down to the game a couple of weekends ago and just see if we could get tickets and if not we would go grab a bite to eat. My wonderful sister took Talan for the night so we had the whole evening to ourselves. We found two tickets right off and they ended up being pretty good seats. We had a great time and really enjoyed being together, its been a while since we had a date night and even though we love being with our little guy it was nice having a night out. Plus we got to sleep past 6 am the next morning which was wonderful!!

LABOR DAY FUN

As always I am playing a little catch up so here is some pics from Labor day and celebrating Williams bday. We went out to MeLissas to hang out for the day and had a really good time. Its always so peaceful out there. Little did they all know that we had taken a pregnancy test that morning and kept quiet the whole day. Boy was that hard!!

TALAN HAS BIG NEWS...

MEET HIS NEW BROTHER OR SISTER TO BE....

WE FOUND OUT LAST WEEK AND COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED. AS MOST OF YOU KNOW GETTING TALAN TOOK A LITTLE HELP THANKS TO MANY MANY PRAYERS AND THE A.R.T PROGRAM HOWEVER THIS ONE THANKS BE TO GOD DID NOT. SO I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY WE WERE A LITTLE SHOCKED BUT IN A GREAT WAY!!
We had already made our appointment with the A.R.T program again but turned out we didn't need it however they still claim this one as their own so they are monitoring me and baby for the next few weeks which I am very pleased with which means not only do we get great care but we get ultrasounds each time we go which is wonderful!!! We ask for your prayers for a healthy pregnancy and look forward to keeping you up to date on how things go.

I've Started Something Bad....but it was Fun

Talan was getting into everything the other day while I was trying to get dinner ready so I thought hey you want to help momma make the tea. Not sure if that was such a great idea or not? He really enjoyed doing it until it was over and then the break down started so I quickly said here's you a pitcher of your own to stir which made him really happy again and I even got real creative and put crystals (aka sprinkles) in the water to make it more fun this was great and a fun thing to do. However now he wants to do it each time we make tea which around our house is a lot. Oh well atleast he is having fun and I do manage to get somethings done.
We tried food color in the water on Sunday which was a lot of fun and helped teach his colors at the same time!!

LOVIN SOME DADDY!!

WASHING BLOCKS

During another afternoon of rain we took our blocks on the porch to play so they got a little dirty so we brought them in and gave them a bath and Talan was captivated for over an hour. He's face expressions says it all, he was very serious but loved it.

Here's the picture to go with the last post

Skinny Dipping

Sunday afternoon during the break from rain we played outside however it was really hot and sticky, so Talan got in his pool but then decided he didn't want his clothes on so he ended up naked and it didn't bother him a bit. I made several attempts to put a bathing suit on but he wasn't having it so why not let him be naked. The only bad thing was that I went to put bug spray on him and it got in his little hiny area and it did not feel to good so daddy to the rescue with the water hose and then it was all better.

My Little Helper / Stinker

Sunday morning we were cooking breakfast and Talan really likes to help set the table so while Matthew and I were getting things ready (not really paying attention) Talan decided to set the table on his on. When we looked this is what he had done which I thought was so cute. He has put the plates out and put fruit loops on each plate. Then said "EAT", then he took them all down and put them back and cleaned up his mess. What a smart kid!!
However, within mintues I went looking for him cause he got really quiet and I found him in the tub (which he just figured out how to get in by himself little did we know) saying "bath". Little stinker always into something. And by the way now when its really bath time he goes in and gets in ready to go.

Rainy Day Fun

So due to all the rain I have came up with new ideas for us to do. We took out the plants in the planters and let him have at it and I'm telling you it has been the best thing. Even though it makes a huge mess he has fun and that is all that matters!! And luckily since it hasn't been thundering and lighting we have been playing in the rain as well but I haven't been able to capture that just yet. Talan's new word is ewe wet and its wet. The only bad thing is when it is time to put new plants in will they last?? We'll see.

FORGOTTEN BEACH PICTURES

Here are a few pictures from our beach trip back in July that I never got around posting. One day I will get a good picture of my child without his finger in his mouth, hopefully!!!

HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY HANNAH!!

Saturday we went out to Kimberly to celebrate Hannah's birthday with a cookout and some swimming and we had a great time!! We love you girl and no matter how old you get you will always be my little stinker pot!!

Even though the pool was freezing the kids had a great time!!

Aunt Lissa did a bad thing and showed Talan where all the bugs were in the little drains around the pool so needless to say thats what they did pretty much the whole time. We also had some dancing divas at the pool, they performed a routine that ROCKED!! Watch out America!!

Best Buddies..

I know one day they will hate us for this but for now we can get away with it and its cute. You can definitly tell who has been in the sun more this summer. I told MeLissa Harrison should do adds for Coppertone, the picture doesn't really show how tan he is his little hiny is shinig its so white compared to the rest of his body.

FIGHTING SO HARD TO NOT TAKE A NAP...

BUT HE LOST!!

FUN FRIDAY AT THE MCWANE CENTER

Last Friday we took the O'Brien crew and Talan to the McWane center and had such a great time.

This was Matthew's first time here and I think he enjoyed it more than anyone and was the one that was getting in the most trouble.

Can you tell we had fun here. Its hard to see but its all of the kids faces and mine and Matthew's hands.

Meet our new guest

We noticed this spider a few weeks ago and I was going to kill it but of course my husband wanted to look it up to see what kind it was. It is a St. Andrews Cross and is non-toxic so know we have been watching him and it really has been interesting. He has gotten much bigger than when we first saw him but I did tell Matthew that if he got much bigger than he was gone non-toxic or not.

CHILLIN WITH MY PUDDING

This kid cracks me up daily. Here he wanted to wait on his daddy to get home with his pudding, naked outside. He pulled his little chair out and sat there on his own it was so funny and when he dropped some on his belly he just scooped it up and ate it, you know he want let any go to waste!!

Whew!! What a week!!

Thank you to all who attended the clothing shows this week. I know it was a lot for one week but we had to get it in before fall. And boy there was some cute clothes!! I know now why God gave us a boy cause my husband would divorce me if we had a girl. Anyways its been a busy week but a fun one so I will catch up on some pics and I still have some pics from the beach that I didn't get blogged. So thanks again and hope everyone had a great weekend!!

My momma's drivin me crazy, making me try on so many clothes, where is my daddy!!!
