new hat?

This is Westin's easter basket on his head. I did not do this! lol This was all him! He is so silly!

Westin being silly! I was trying to get a pic of him with the basket on his head


I cannot believe Westin put my skates on and was able to hold his balance on them! He loves my skates! I cannot wait till he is old enough to go skating!

blue lips

We went to Bahama Bucks for shaved ice and I got the new booberry flavor. I knew it was a mistake b/c it was blue but it was soo good! We had blue lips the rest of the day lol

silly boy with his blue lips!

Tara got the new candy corn flavor and Westin liked that flavor too. He would go from my cup to Tara's cup eating our shaved ice. He just helped himself lol Mucher lol

Pretty booberry shaved ice with cream :) My fav is still strawberry margarita, but this flavor was pretty good too!!

carving pumpkins!

We carved our pumpkins that we picked from the pumpkin patch! I printed out some templets and I picked the one that looked like a girl with her eyelashes lol. Westin colored on his pumpkin with markers.

This is our pumpkin family! Roy drew on a face on Westin's pumpkin lol


We didn't have any pumpkin carving tools so we had to do it old school. I thought I had some from last year, but I could not find them! Oh well it worked out!

Thanks to Tara for coming over and taking pics for me so I could carve my pumpkin and get lots of great pics! After we carved pumpkins we watched scared Shrekless and Westin loves Shrek so he loved Scared Shrekless! And since it was a Thur Grey's came on so we watched that too!

Baker's Halloween party

Me and Tara were running the roads Friday to get everything we needed for the party. Our first stop was Alberson's to look for jello for our jello shots. Wal-mart didn't have a large selection so I thought we should try Alberson's. Then we went to wal-mart to pick up a few things we needed for the party and for the weekend. We found some frozen alcoholic drinks for $2 so I got the pom margarita, peach daiquiri and strawberry daiquiri flavor. Then we headed to the party store to pick up some decorations and few final things for our costumes. Roy still needed a costume and I found a shirt with muscles in it and got it for him. The line was pretty long so I didn't want to go back there. But we couldn't find jello shot container. They were out of the ones we wanted. So when we checked out Tara asked the guy if he knew where we could get some. He said Hobby Lobby. And me and Tara felt so dumb. Why didn't we think of that. So we headed to hobby lobby in hopes to find some jello shot containers. Well we found some better containers for the jello shots. And while we were there I bought a scrapbook magazine :) Last stop was liqure store to get the liqure for the jello shots! So once we got home I put Westin down for a nap and started making jello shots so they could freeze in time for the party. Then I made my hotdog wrapped in crescents and started to get ready for the party. Roy gets home from work and I show him the muscle shirt I got him at the party store. He has a great idea to go as our friend. In the above photo that is Roy dressed as our friend who is next to him dressed up as a woman. Everyone loved his costume!

This is me and our friend taking a shot of tequila! My costume is an 70's skater girl. I had knee socks and skates on, but I didn't get pic from head to toe. I had my afro puff wig on! I love that wig.

me and my booga man!

me and Tara! She was a groupie and her husband was Bret Micheals.

jello shots!! We had a lot of fun. A lot of guys from Justin's unit showed up that we didn't expect. We played a little guitar hero. We had our all girl band, me, Tara and Alexia and we kicked ass! Me and Alexia on guitars and Tara sang. It was a lot of fun.

looking back

So my honeys said something to me that reminded me of when Westin was born! After you have a baby and your stuff is all messed up all you want to do is go home with your baby and rest. But Westin was admitted to the hospital only a few days after he got to come home. It was so sad b/c I just wanted to be home with my baby! I was still sore so Roy was wheeling me around the hospital so we could see my baby. We had no idea what was going on. My mom came in town, but I wanted her to stay with my dog. The hospital Westin was at was over 2 hours away from our house so I needed someone to take care of my dog. He was prob freaking out wondering what happened to us. It was such a hard time for us. We stayed at the Rondal McDondal house at night and stayed at the hospital with Westin during the day. I will never forget that Sunday (day 3 of being in the hospital) when I got to give him a bath! And then I got to hold him again! His jaundice got real bad once he was admitted so he was covered in light so we could not hold him! But luckily for us the next day he got to go to a room where we could sleep with him and take car of him! They wanted to monitor his weight gain before they let him go home. His oxygen levels were actually well enough to go home so once he started eating more and gaining weight he could go home. So he was put on a high cal formula and they finally let us go home Wed (day 5). If you know my son now you never would know that he went though anything! He had heart surgery when he was 5 months old and he is almost 2 and he is just perfect! I cannot believe he is almost 2! I remember his first week or so, so vividly! I will never forget what we went through and appreciate every moment we have together! I just love him so much and get a little emotional when I think about my little booga man! He is my everything and my best friend! We spend a lot of time together! I dunno what I would do without him! My life would be boring, uneventful, and meaningless without him! I just thought I would share my thought and emotions with everyone!

Megan over at cropchocolateblog tagged me in her blog. So now I have to answer her 8 questions.
Here are the questions:

1. Do you use a paper planner (like FranklinCovey), paper calendar (like a desk or wall calendar), digital planner (like a cell phone, palm pilot, smart phone), digi calendar (like Google Calendar, iCal), or nothing to plan your day & track appointments? I try to keep a planner, but it usually doesn't work. I do have a dry eraser calendar on my fridge and I try to keep a meal plan.

7. If I said the word "Ugaritic" what would you tell me it means? I have no clue!

my sweet baby boy

I just love this pic! We were about to watch the LSU game and I was in the kitchen getting food ready and Roy was outside BBQing so I kept Westin occupied by putting on his show. I go check on him and I see him laying on his pillow watching TV! And he is so cute in his LSU jersey! This pic I see a big boy watching TV. Being good, sweet, into his show and independent. I love seeing my big boy grow!
