Wow

I'm such a bad blogger!!
So on January 17th I turned 30 and had an amazing dinner date with my husband (I did not want a big party) and we went to the movies. We helped throw a surprise birthday party for Ethan's dads 60th birthday and it was a huge success! Towards the end of the month Tinsley and I both got sick and Ethan had to take care of us!

In February I joined a local MOM's club and had the first meeting with them. Tinsley loved it!! She got to hand out valentines, and run around with a lot of kids her age. I went to a party at a friends house and ended up signing up to sell the products! I am officially a Thirty-one gifts consultant!! (I will be having my first party on March 11th) Tinsley had her first Dentist appointment and did good! She even got a new purple toothbrush for being a good girl! Then we went to Austin to see my little brother Clay get married. We stayed with Jason and Julie in Austin and Tinsley loved hanging with uncle J and Frisbee even showed some love towards the end of our visit.

March has started off great! We had our family pictures on this past Saturday and i think they are going to turn out great! I got my hair cut and teeth cleaned, that always makes me feel better. Tinsley and I went to the zoo with the Wortham's and had a good time. We are going back with the moms group on Tuesday! Tinsley loves the fish and turtles!!

Tinsley is 1!!!

On December 9th Tinsley turned ONE!!
Where has the time gone? I can not believe she is a year old already!!
She is walking and repeating things we say, climbing, and getting into everything she is not supposed to! She is growing and learning so much it is amazing. I am so glad I get to stay home and see this on a daily basis!

Here are her 12 mo pictures.

December 1st

We went to Grapevine to start off the holidays with the parade of lights and tree lighting. I dressed Tinsley and myself up in our holiday shirts and as soon as Dad got home we loaded up the car and headed out. We got a really good spot and set up our chars and put Tinsley in her stroller between us. Even though it rained (Yes I was prepared) we still had a great time!! Here are some pictures!

Thanksgiving 2011

This Thanksgiving we went to Ethan's moms house to get together with the family. We all took our dishes and empty stomachs and headed to Shelley's. I made Ham, green beans, cranberry sauce, corn casserole and rolls... I think everything was wonderful and loved that we got left overs for the rest of the week! However Tinsley was not so lucky she got sick and we had to leave early. We took her to the urgent care the next morning and they said she has chicken pox, however we didn't think they where right so we made and appointment for her at her regular doctor. Turns out she had hand foot and mouth. So we put our house on lock down and snuggled with her until she was herself again.

Here is a picture of Ethan and Tinsley playing with GG's Santa.

November is going to be a very busy month for us but I am really going to try and post once a week with the things I am thankful for. I have friends that are doing this and I thought it was a great idea.

Nov 2 - I am thankful for the family I married into!

Happy Thanksgiving!

The end of September

We had a busy September! Since the weather was nice we have been to the park a few times, and to a concert in Keller park. I took Tinsley and Sofia to the aquarium at Grapevine Mills mall and had a lot of fun! We took Tinsley to another Rangers game, and we have been doing lots of shopping since Halloween is coming up. I always decorate but since I have been reading pinterest I am doing more handmade crafts. (and I am loving it!!) We made a Boo sign, a wreath and I have started Tinsley's Cookie Monster costume. I have also made a Fall wreath for the front door. I still have a few more things I would like to make if I can get Ethan to cut some wood for me I will be in business.

Here are some pictures of Tinsley crawling thru the coffee table, and behind the couch to escape my "baby jail" aka the living room. She is also eating almost everything we are eating. She loves chicken, macaroni and cheese and spaghetti! I hope this means she will not be a picky eater!
