First Month of the Year

January fly by…that is all I can say...

Here is the happening from the first month of the year!!!

The first Friday of January I needed to go to the store to get a few things but the day got away from me, so we ended up waiting until Sam got home and went later in the evening. We ended up in the sport section and was looking at some of the electronic cars; my niece Harper got a little 4wheeler for Christmas and Teddy loved going on it too; so we thought when the time was right we would get one for him too…we saw this car that was on sale and it looked like something he would like; we bought it on the spur of the moment and it ended up being a HIT…we went out to my parents to assemble it and he was so so happy when he came out into the garage to see it all put together. He got the hang of it real fast and has loved it ever since.

 COWBOY BALLERINA

Teddy has always been obsessed with cowboys and horses, but he has recently become obsessed with tutu’s…don’t ask me where he gets it but he loves dressing in his sisters tutu and dancing…one day he ended up being a ballerina cowboy; I love this kid so much.

 Teddy and his best bud Gardner...he use to call him Gar Gar, but has recently started using his full name, it is so cute!!!  I am so grateful for G man, he has been so nice to Teddy; he is 4 years older than him but treats him so nice...WE LOVE G!!!

So this is a game called political challenge; we got it a while back at once upon a child and I was not that keen on playing it when he first got it because I thought it was a game where you had to know politics and answer questions-but it is not like that. Its actually a nice game and we have played it a few times. You can start at the local level, move to state and then to national; we have only played the national level because of time restraints but maybe someday we can do the lower races. The game is like a political race, you are either democrat or republican, you roll a dice and move around the board, you make money and then can buy campaigns and then once you buy certain things that each state is involved in, then you earn that state and once you get a certain number of votes then you win...its hard to explain but its a game that I ended up liking even though I did not think I would.

   Teddy loves his sister; sometimes we all snuggle together =)

 

Baba’s are also a staple at our house. Macy has recently began being more independent and trying to hold her bottle; she cannot go very long but loves to try.

My mom and dad let us go out to dinner and to a movie on Friday evening. We had a Darden gift card and wanted to go to Longhorn but it ended up being over an hour wait, so we decided to go to Red Lobster. 

 It was a nice evening, so we sat outside.

 I loved their cheese biscuits, my husband and wanted a steak and they had that and I got a bowl of soup

 

We then went to the Hunger Games, Catching Fire…it was good.

 And to top of the evening was Sweet Cupcakes...this lady has won the show cupcake wars three times!!! YUMMY-my husband is not the biggest fan of cupcakes but I wanted them. They have mini ones that are the perfect size to get 4 in a little box and try different ones. I normally get the plain jane (vanilla/vanilla), chocolate pudding (yellow/vanilla), chocolate mousse (chocolate/vanilla) and then a random new one =)

 I got these pictures from my mom while we were out. I am so grateful that they are always in good hands

I decided I wanted to see if I could get a gym membership; the Gold’s Gym in town has kid care. It was a bust, I sent twice and both times the kids did not do good; Macy is at the stage where she only wants to be held and Teddy gets overstimulated if there are too many kids around; I got to do a cycling class that was awesome, maybe in the future it’s something I will be able to do more.

This sign was bearing down on my during the cycling class-Pain is temporary-quitting lasts forever.  Now that I had to quit, it makes me sad but I hope in the future I will be able to do more!!!

Life at our house is always an adventure!!! Teddy is very mischievous sometimes, but such is the life of an active 2 year old!!! I have to be so careful with pens and markers...lucky he draws on himself than my furniture and walls =) 

 I heard him calling out my name on day saying he was stuck-little did I know he was really really stuck!!!

 I sure do love this kid so tremendously!!!

 He loves taking Macy's pacifier

 He sometimes loves eating with us!!!

 

 One night but dad watched Macy while I went over to a friends house for a presentation. I came back to this!!! so so sweet...thanks Dad-Sam watched Teddy!!!

 Teaching his sis how to Golf!!!
