COME ON MONDAY

Wait...

Hold on....

Still waiting....

It's coming....


Yeah...I've got nothing...HA! I have nothing to report this weekend, not even a single picture was taken!! :(

This entire week and weekend has been devoted to getting Luke and Zach back healthy! And with the rain, we have done absolutely nothing, but cook, play, take naps and stay inside. I will NEVER be sooo happy to see a Monday come. I am sooo ready for everyone to get back to school, babysitter, work...regular routine HERE WE COME!!! How awful is that? Who looks forward to a Monday????

Friday, I spent the entire day disinfecting my house. I washed and wiped everything that sat still. From blankets and pillowcases to changing the air filters and spraying Lysol on every door knob in the house, I would have to say that you could likely eat off of my floors right now!

Saturday, I did what I always thought would be the impossible...I took BOTH of my children to Wal-Mart grocery shopping!!! It actually proved not to be that bad. So GO ME! HA! A funny for Luke...Saturday night, I made crawfish fettuccine for dinner...Luke told me..."Mom, I can only eat the crawfish out of my fettuccine...". When I asked "why?"...he said..."because I am allergic to the noodles!!" I really wonder sometimes where he comes up with the things that come out of his mouth!

Today, again, we have done absolutely nothing. I cooked a HUGE lunch today of turkey and dressing, homemade mash potatoes and gravy, broccoli and cheese, smothered squash, rolls and chocolate chips cookies. It was very yummy!

I have the school clothes out, the diaper bag packed, the booksack and lunch box ready, the uniforms ironed and ready and MONDAY morning is as of right now about 13 hours away...BRING IT ON!!!

Have a good week everyone!

6 Months

YAY! I am 6 Months Old!!

At 6 Months Old, Zach is:

Eating 3 meals a day, one jar for breakfast, one jar for lunch and a whopping 3 jars for dinner. He is also taking 4 bottles a day. He is also drinking juice and is doing great with using a cup. He takes it into his little hands and puts it to his mouth, but hasn't quite figured out yet to turn it upwards to get the juice out.

He rolls over and over and over and over. Even in his bouncy seat, he rolls over. Thus, it is essential that we strap him in! He loves sitting in his chair and talking to his toys or playing in his saucer with his toys.

He is sitting up more and more by himself daily. He is still pretty wobbly, but is doing soo good with it. But when he falls over, watch it...the flying "reds" come out!

He is wearing a size 2-3 diaper and size 6-9 months clothes.

His (and mine) favorite thing to do is take his hands and grab your face and give you "kisses". Its more like a big slobbery (a/k/a "angel juice") open mouth zurburt, but its the greatest and I LOVE IT!

He is still totally amazed with Luke and everything he does. He could sit and watch Luke for hours, and I must say Luke is very entertaining! I am just concerned with what he is taking into his little mind...monkey see, monkey do! HA!

Zach, you are such as sweet, precious, loving little man. I love you soo very much! Sooo lucky to be your Mommy!



Monday, we will be going to see Dr. Pat for his 6 Month Old well-baby visit and shots. I will report back on his stats then!

The Hubbard Hospital

Hello....live from the Hubbard Hospital! Saturday when we were in Texas, Luke started feeling bad. I started giving him Tylenol for his fever and took him to the doctor first thing Tuesday morning. He has the flu, and no it is NOT swine flu or H1N1 or R2D2 (HA!) or whatever...just regular seasonal flu. Zach is also sick, but thankfully just with an upper respiratory infection. Luke is taking an antibiotic for his flu and both are doing breathing treatments. Unfortunately, we infected the Elliott household as well.

On a happier note, last night we had Mom, Renee, Aunt Lou, Uncle Kenny and Aunt Barbara over for Mom's birthday dinner...(hope we didn't infected them too!). We had a delicious dinner of spaghetti and meatballs, bread, salad, yummy yummy birthday cake and ice cream.





Here is hoping that this household is back to normal soon. This weekend is my two week grocery shopping adventure, which will include several cans of Lysol!

Lastly, this week please keep in your prayers my former boss, Shep. His mother unexpectedly passed away this past weekend as the result of a car accident. Mr. Shep is such a great man and I am sure that this untimely death of his Mom is very devastating to him. Please remember to keep him and his family in your prayers.

Happy Birthday MeMe!

Happy Birthday today to my Mom! We hope you have a most excellent day! We love you!

Labor Day Weekend

This weekend we went to Texas to visit Ben, Noonie, Benjie, Adie, Rhodes, Maw Maw Pat and the 5 animals of the house! We had a great time visiting, swimming, cooking, napping and playing!!










Thank you again to all of you for having us this weekend. We truly enjoyed ourselves! We can't wait to come for a visit again!

Luke At School

Luke's teacher has put some pictures of her students on her web site...I thought I would share the one's of Luke with everyone!




This is Luke's friend Kathryn from St. Patricks! Isn't she the cutest??!!

Put Ya Booty in the Air...

Zach just cracks me up with his sleeping, he tucks his little feet right under his little booty and sticks it straight up in the air...and yes, I know that he is suppose to be on his back...but now that he knows how to roll around, he has found that sleeping on his belly is the greatest (he gets that from his Mommy)!!!
