New Addition

Well, A LOT has happened since my last post! We found out today that we are expecting our second baby boy! We are so excited! Parker was at my in laws, so we told him over the phone. When we told him he was getting a baby brother he said, "YAAAAY!!!". It was so sweet! I really don't think he completely understands what is going on, but it was sweet none the less! I am due March 3rd, but I have a feeling he might come a few days early :) I also thought that it was a girl, so my intuition is not the best... only time will tell!

In other news, Parker turned 2 this month! I cannot believe my little man is 2. It goes by so fast! I wish I could hit pause! He had a great birthday party. It was a small family party, but in our tiny house it seemed like we had 100 hundred people! Parker's favorite part of the whole party was letting the balloons go up to the ceiling, and eating his Eagle cake! He LOVED that cake :) He also loves those Eagles! I have a feeling that will not be the only Eagle birthday party I throw!

Well, I guess that is pretty much it right now. Hopefully I will post again before the year is over :) I will leave you with a picture of the big brother :)

What's New

It seems as though I am not a very good blogger... Things have been so crazy over the past year. The best and most exciting thing being that I am now a stay-at-home mom! I have been hoping and praying for this to happen since before Parker was even born! It is so much fun! It can get tiring at times, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! Parker will be TWO in September. I seriously don't know where the time has gone. My baby is not a baby anymore :( Since it has been almost a year since my last post, I think I will just post a few pictures from the past months instead of writing about it. Enjoy! (that is, if anyone actually reads this...). I have know idea how to put pictures on here in order, so here is a collage in no particular order!

Where has the time gone???

Yet again, alot has happened since my last post. I really thought I would do better about posting, but I just don't seem to have the time or the will... I am going to start writing as if I were talking to Parker, since he is the main reason I am trying to keep this blog up.

So Parker, you are currently sleeping. It took you awhile to go to sleep tonight, as it has for the past couple of nights. I still love you and I could watch you sleep all night long, if I could stay awake! Anyway, I thought I would write an update on your recent milestones.

1. You are 13 months old
2. Walking full force
3. You have 10 teeth
4. Aside from mama and dada, your first word was tractor :)
5. You say dog dog instead of just dog
6. You are trying to say puffs, more, lion, and what's that?. At least that's what it sounds like :)
7. You love tractors, anything with wheels, and anything you can push or spin
8. You also like for mommy and daddy to read to you

It's getting late, so I will end for now. Hopefully I will update sooner than I did the last time!

Lately

Alot has been going on in the Thomas household lately. On Monday, Parker started walking, or so we thought! I even got it on video. If it wasn't for that video, I would have thought I dreamed it! He hasn't taken a step since! Every time we stand him up, he'll stand there for a second and then sit down and crawl to me. I was hoping he would be walking by his birthday, but it's not looking to promising!

Parker's birthday is wednesday! I can't believe my baby is going to ONE YEAR OLD! This week is going to be a very busy week. I need to make cupcakes to take to school and cupcakes for the actual party on saturday, get the house cleaned up, finish getting all the party supplies, and paint the guest bathroom!

We are in the process of remodeling the guest bath. What a project it has been. I have beeen tearing down wall paper for the past 2 weekends! NOT FUN. It was much harder than I anticipated. All the wallpaper is down now. All we have left to do is even out the walls with sheet rock mud, sand, and paint! Hopefully this will all get down by the birthday party! I will post before and after pics soon, but for now here is proof that Parker can walk!

Update

Well, alot has happened since my last post! Parker has been off the paci for months, he is almost off the bottle, and he turns 1 in less than a month!!! Seriously, where does the time go??? He is not walking yet, but he can stand up for about as long as he wants to. He has 8 teeth now and I am pretty sure he will be getting a another one or two pretty soon!

July and August have been extremely busy for us. Here are a few pics of what we have been doing.



Self explanatory...

Baby Einstein

Today Parker has been a little fussy because he has a pretty nasty diaper rash and he is cutting 3 teeth. I really needed sweep the floor, so I put on a Baby Einstein DVD to occupy him for a bit and keep him out of the kitchen. I wasn't sure if it was going to work today, but as he crawled into the living room crying, he look up at the TV and instantly stopped crying. Now, I am not going to be one of those mom's who puts her kids in front of the TV all day everyday, but every once in a while I need a little break! I've posted a picture of Parker watching the video. He sat like that for at least 5 minutes!

Southern Miss To The Top!

Ok, I know it's a little late, but I will say it any way... I am so proud of the Eagles for making it to the College World Series! Britt and I drove to Omaha with his family Friday after work. What a LONG day. We left Batesville, MS around 7:30pm and arrived in Omaha around 7:30am! I offered to drive during the night, but only if they wanted to end up in Canada (yes, my sense of direction is THAT bad). Pulling up to Rosenblatt stadium was so exciting! Seeing little the ole Southern Miss logo next to all the other larger schools was incredible.

The story of the trip definitely had to be waiting in line for 7 hours to get into the first game! We felt so hard core. There was a group of Southern Miss fans in front of us and two slightly strange and annoying Texas fans in front of us. While waiting in line, we were able to see our good friends Scheaffer and Allison! They were lucky enough to have reserved seats. We tried upgraded to reserved seating, but that required getting in line around 5:00 in the morning! Britt's dad was interviewed by the local news in Omaha. That was pretty exciting. We also had our picture taken by an official Southern Miss photographer and a CWS photographer. They both told us the picture would be on the website, but I keep forgetting to check. Anyway, it was a long wait, but it was well worth it! We were able to sit in the very front row in left field. I won't bore you with all the details. I just want to say I was proud to be an Eagle before the CWS and I am proud to be an Eagle now. I HATE fair weather fans. I am also proud of all the other Southern Miss fans who showed up in Omaha. We had the most fans out of all 8 teams. Go Eagles!
