Headache

So for the past 3 days I have had a headache. I decided to give up drinking Dr Pepper. At least until I'm not addicted to the darn things anymore, then I plan on having one only every now and then instead of having several every day.
The reason I am giving them up is because I really want to fit into my old jeans again without having to use a rubber band to "button" them. I know, I know. I could just go out and buy a bigger pair but the thought of that kind of makes me depressed. What is even worse is that a couple months after I had Landon I was about 8 pounds away from my pre-preggo weight; then I decided it would be a good idea to drink a lot of DP and eat whatever I want. Bad idea. Now I'm much further away than only 8 pounds.
Having a baby is the best thing I have ever done but nothing prepares you for how you look afterwards. So all you ladies out there who haven't yet had the joy of carrying a baby in your tummy, enjoy your body as it is now!!! After you have kids it won't be the same. I'm not just talking about looks either. Now, every time I stand up from sitting my back aches.
Ok, I will stop complaining now. I just wish someone had told me to appreciate my pre-preggo body!
So all that to say I have had no DP and my head is killing me. However, I will not give in and I will reach my goal! I will fit into my old jeans again!
No matter the end result, he was completely worth it. Look at the little guy, there is none cuter!

Is it really time for turkey again? Wow, this year has flown by. I have no idea where it went! I do love turkey though and everything that is a must have with it! All of you people out there who get tired of turkey and so you do Mexican food or something else instead, I'm sorry but you are crazy! Please give me turkey every year and nothing else! It is one of my favorite meals and this is truly the only time of year I get it.

Wednesday night we went to Immanuel Baptist Church's Thanksgiving dinner with Mark's parents. The food was great! Landon went with us and was perfect the whole time! Apparently he was the talk of the night, but does that really surprise you? Here is the little man with his Mimi and Grandad.

Let's try this again...

So its been a while since I have tried blogging. Obviously I wasn't very dedicated to it the first time, but lately I have had this desire to share what goes on in my life with the world...again. So I'm going to give this another shot.
Landon is now 5 1/2 months old and close to crawling. Everyone tells you that they grow up so fast but that's one of those things you don't understand until you have your own! It is amazing the love you develop for your children. We had a pretty rough start but now I don't remember my life without the little guy! My life is now consumed with caring for Landon. I am so thankful that my husband also desires for me to stay home with him and any future children we have. Though it is not always easy, there is nothing I would rather be doing than staying home with Landon. Look at how adorable he is, and those big beautiful eyes!


I absolutely LOVE flowers and I really enjoy creating my own flower arrangements. So I picked up these cremon flowers the other day and made this arrangement. They arn't fallish and don't go along with any of my colors but I think they turned out great.


If you ever want to absolutly make my day give me flowers, they don't even have to be my favorite (which happen to hydrangeas), any flower will do!
