Finally

Over the last 18 months, we've gotten Brogan's pictures taken: newborn, 6 months, 1 year, and my in laws wanted family pictures. I'm happy to say that I have FINALLY gotten all his pictures ordered! It feels great and I'm totally excited to see them in print. However, now comes the task of getting frames for all of them and then possibly hung on the wall. This is when I stress out! I have no idea what wall, what color frames, how to arrange the frames, and how to hang them (I know I know...it's probably the easiest thing EVER but my hubbs is the one who ALWAYS hangs stuff in our house. And God knows I'd screw it up somehow!)

But at least one task is done and out of the way!

Hope ya'll have a great weekend! I know I'm looking forward to mine!

18 Months

This precious boy....



...will be 18 months old on Saturday! This picture was taken by my mom this morning before I picked him up for his drs. appointment! He is just the most darling and handsome little boy ever! He looked just like his daddy this morning: both with their large-checkered shirts on!

On the way to his appointment, I had give Brogan a granola bar (still in the closed wrapper) to play with as I had forgot to grab a toy for him to mess with. As we were getting closer to the office, I turned around right as he was saying 'Bite, bite' with the OPENED granola bar in his hand and his 'D' (binkie) in the other. I immediately started cracking up! He was too adorable to get mad at. He's done this before, as you may remember, with a Hershey candy bar. Thank God he didn't get anything on his cute shirt! By the way, he had half of it downed by the time we got to the office, which was only about a 7 minute car ride. Little piggy!



He did pretty well at his appointment. He didn't have to get shots, thank God! Tommy couldn't be at this appointment and it was already a little difficult holding Brogan while our doctor checked his stats. Oh my! I can't even imagine what the shots would've been like! He's quite the strong little boy! Everything was right as it should be and Brogan is absolutely perfect...which I already knew :) He weighed in at 24 lbs, 14 oz (40%(, is 33 1/3 inches tall (85%), and has a head circ. of 19 inches (70%). Brogan is definitely his father's son: long and lean!

Weekend Recap

Friday Night: We didn't have rehearsal so Tommy made plans with a good friend of his while Brogan and I stayed home and played! After I put Brogan to bed, I tried out a new workout. It was only 10 minutes but in that 10 minutes, I got my butt worked! It felt great! (Thanks Missy for the DVD!) There's something about feeling slightly sore a day or two after a good workout that makes it worth while! I just need to make sure I keep up with it! I also got a phone call from one of my bestestestestest (this is totally a word!) friends, Danyelle, telling me some exciting news: Her boyfriend Beau asked her to marry him!!!!!!!! I couldn't be more excited for her! Beau is absolutely amazing and treats Danyelle like a Queen! She deserves every bit of happiness and he definitely gives that to her. They were in Nashville (one of their fave places) and I made sure to make her text me a picture of the ring! I cannot wait to see her, and the ring, in person!

Saturday: In the morning, I met up with some girlfriends for breakfast at Panera (tasty tasty!) and pedicures! I haven't had a pedi in a while so it was nice to treat myself! I love having pretty toes for the warm weather! I think I might try to make it a point to get a pedi every so often! After our pedis, my friend Katie and I decided to run some errands. We had a blast! I got a few cute new pairs of shoes for the spring/summer, Brogan some cute shorts and a St. Patty's Day shirt, and some other little things! The weather was perfect so we enjoyed having the sunroof open! Tommy spent most of Saturday starting our fence for Bella! We're only fencing part of our yard for now so she can have lots of room outside to run! My in laws came over to help and to watch Brogan until I got home. I cannot wait till the fence is done!! Hopefully within the next couple weekends...fingers crossed! Saturday night, we had taco salad for dinner and after B went to bed, we watched 'This Is It'. Absolutely amazing movie. I held back tears quite a bit! I love MJ and am still amazed at how unbelievably talented he was.

Sunday: Tommy had to work so Brogan and I were at it alone. We went over to my parents house in the morning to visit my sister who was in town. My dad normally gets donuts on the weekend from an amazing bakery in town so Brogan and I made sure to 'share' one! I ate most of it though...oops! We went back home in time to make some lunch and take a nap! I definitely took advantage of Brogan's naptime and slept a little myself! It was great! After he woke up, I took him to a local custard shop for a treat! Again, I ate most of it but it was fun to share! When we got back home, we spent about 20 minutes running around the yard. After that 20 minutes, I realized we definitely need some outdoor toys! After Tommy got home from work, we just lounged and played and enjoyed time as a family. We watched a little of the Oscars and caught up on our DVR'd shows. Bedtime for us parents came early!!

I took pictures this weekend but have been lazy, busy, whatever to put them on the computer! And since I work full time and now have a show to be in, God only knows when they'll make an appearance! Oh well, life happens! :)

Hope ya'll had a great weekend as well!

My Very Own Bubble Boy

MIA

Hi, my name is Lindsey and I've been MIA if you haven't noticed. We started Rent rehearsals this week so that's been my evenings and work has kept me busy during the day...this and I've been trying to spend as much time off the computer and with my son since I'll be busy the next 2 months. I've realized how hard it is to work full time and be a mom but to throw another extra curricular activity in the mix really makes it interesting! I keep telling myself that it's ok that I'm doing something that I LOVE and that I don't get to do often.

Like I've mentioned before, I'd LOVE to be a SAHM (stay at home mom) but it's just not in our cards right now. Hopefully Tommy will graduate (the plan is for this anyway) in December 2011, he can find a good full time job, we can get out of our little house and in to something bigger and with more storage, and we can have another baby! And possibly I can either be a part time SAHM or possibly full fill my dream or staying home full time. One day at a time though. God has His plans. Even though sometimes (ALOT of times!) I don't want to be patient enough to wait. Silly God :)

This weekend is going to be laid back! The weather here in Topeka (aka Google...don't ask...it's some weird thing I don't understand and frankly, I'm over it)is supposed to be in the high 50's so that means we're spending some time outside!! Tomorrow morning, the Diva's are getting together for breakfast and pedi's! I've been looking forward to this for weeks!

To leave you on a good note, here's a couple pictures of my sweet (almost) 18 month old rockin' his tie shirt his Auntie Molly made for him! Adorable, you say? Oh, I know!

First Night Away

Tonight's our first rehearsal for Rent. I'm super excited but super bummed. I know it'll go fast and I know it'll be great for Tommy and I, but it's hard leaving Brogan. I thought for sure this time would be easier but it's starting to not be.

I did, however, find out that one of my solo dances is going to be on stripper poles!! That sorta excites me! Not that I've ever wanted to be a 'stripper', but I've always been amazed at how one can dance around those things! That routine starts next week...I'll keep you updated!
