Happy Mardi Gras

Aunt ReeRee and Uncle Jay sent Amos some Mardi Gras loot!
A Mardi Gras football, BIG shades and a glow in the dark tomahawk ( he has not seen yet)
The tomahawk will be kept out of sight for a while, for fear of chopping dogs, people and throwing it at TVs!!!! 
Thanks,  he loves his stuff!!!!!!!!!!

4 Years

This post is to my loving husband!  We've been together 10 1/2 years, married 4 and parents for 2. 
I am so blessed.  I have a husband who I can still laugh with, cry to and look to when I need advice and support.  Don't get me wrong it's not all rainbows and roses.  No marriage is, and if anyone says different they are a BIG LIAR!!!!
Marriage is Commitment, Love, and Compromise.  People tend to forget that you have to feed and nurture a marriage.  It is WORK...everyday.  But that is the beauty of  it, I wouldn't want to "Work" on it/for it, with anyone else in the world!
Wes you are such a wonderful husband and father to sweet Amos.  I thank God everyday that you are in my life! 
Happy Anniversary Love!!!!

Weekend With Grammy

This past weekend Mike went to Nashville so Amos and I spent the weekend with Grammy.
Friday night after work Wes came over.  We order dinner and spent some family quality time.
Amos and Wes played guitar, Grammy and I enjoyed the music! 
Saturday Amos, Verna and I went to see Giggy and then took a trip to the Galleria.  Amos got a new pair of shoes!  We found out he is now in a size 8!!!!  My baby is not really a baby anymore :(
We also went to ABC Toys where he got the "Wonder Pets" and a
Drawing toy that he LOVES!  Thank you Grammy.
After a visit to Build a Bear, we decided we are going to plan a trip
there for his birthday.  He watched a little girl build her bear and thought it
 was really cool.
 
Movies
Next onto his movies.  Amos has discovered Madagascar!  We have seen that movie at least
1,000 times.  He loves it.  He also likes Sesame street, and sometimes will watch Bob the Builder.  We also have introduced him to Finding Nemo and Madagascar 2.  It is so cute to hear him laugh at parts of the movie he thinks are funny.  I love his sweet little laugh.
 
Time Out!
We have been putting Amos in "time out" if he is not a good boy.
We have a chair called the "Sad Chair".  We turn the chair to face the wall and he has to
sit there for about 2minutes. ( 1 minute per age)
Well the other day I put him there and walked into the kitchen.  I heard little foot steps and "Heeey"!  I turned around and Amos was in the kitchen waving at me.  I told him to "go back to his chair right now" and he took off running.  He got back in his chair, hands on his lap, head down. (he did that part on his own) I told him we had to start the timer over.
Well back to the kitchen I went.  Annnd guess what I hear?  Little foot steps, then "Heeey", I turned around and there he was waving at me!!!!  We go through the entire process again!
For 15minutes we did this.  (Super Nanny says be consistent and they will get it)
Well finally he stayed in the chair 30sec. So I counted that as success.
Oh that child....

Christmas Part 1

We had such a fun Christmas this year!  Amos was really into it.
Here are a few of many from our trip.
 
Our visit to see Paw Paw Wayne.  He got a DVD player for the car and his own chair. 
He thinks he is big stuff!

 
After Christmas Eve dinner at my Mom's we went to spend some time
with the fam at Uncle Michael's house.  This was the First family gathering held
there since Hurricane Katrina.  We got a pic to capture that special event!




 
Maw and 3of her kids.

Then it was home to feed the Reindeer.  Amos had to go to the
neighbor's house and feed them!  He would not just throw the food in the yard!

 
Next he put cookies out for Santa...

 
Then he decided he wanted to have some!

 
Santa Came!!!!!
