Tampons, firearms and a Beyonce dance party

Playing catch-up today… this may be my favorite post title of all times!

 

December 2012

Tip from one momma to another: if your child is being quiet, the house isn’t being completely destroyed, and you can get a 10 minute break to get ready for work without interruption – WHO CARES if he’s emptying out your special container of “lady products” like it’s a buried treasure?!

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth…

Houston wouldn’t dare sit with Santa this year, I was at least glad he mustered a grin after I begrudgingly joined in on the photo op.

{Santa’s glare this past year made me a little worried I might be showing up on a naughty list come Christmas – what was up with this dude?!}

 

The Festival of Lights at Cincinnati Zoo

 

Christmas gift exchange with our friends Kennedy and Wyatt

 

 

January’s 2013

 

New Year’s at Ginny’s with Brittney, our spouses, and little ones in tow.

 

A touching moment before Wyatt and Kennedy walked away and Houston single handedly brought down Ginny’s Christmas tree…

 

Impromptu shooting day with lots of friends.

Would you believe I was born and raised in Kentucky and this was my first time EVER shooting a gun?!

 

{No we weren’t actually shooting the assault rifles… just doing some ridiculous “Charlie’s Angels” poses with them…}

 

Just an FYI, there was no camera man behind this next shot {no pun intended ;)}. We were EXTREMEMLY mindful of gun safety that day and of course we sat the camera on a timer to take it.

 

Fun in the snow this year – much more so than he was able to last year!

 

 

For Nick’s birthday, I swallowed my UK fan pride and bought him tickets to the UofL/Syracuse game. We had a blast actually and met up with friends afterward to tear up the streets of Louisville :)

 

February 2012

 

Classic “Hurricane Houston”:

 

My little rock star.

 

So sweet!

 

 

 

 

Never a dull day in our house…

 

I adore the *precious* look of pure terror on the slide. Just so you know, he really enjoyed it after that  first leap of faith going down…

 

The infamous Beyonce dance party during this year’s Superbowl half-time: Our baby boy was up LATE with us and though he has yet to enter that stage of stripping his clothes off and wanting to run around jay-bird naked all of the time, for some reason when Beyonce hit the stage, he took his shirt off and started dancing.

It.Was.A.Riot!

 

I’m up to February! Not too much more catch-up to go :)

 

{I know the anticipation is killing you…}

 

XOXO,
