Today we visited with Aunt Mary and Uncle Jay, they have new baby goats and one is inside because her legs are not strong yet so she can't nurse...they are all very cute! We got home a little after 4 and rested until time to feed Mikenna and get ready for church services then we had dinner together. We got home and I began cleaning a little while Mike brought chairs in for tomorrow night.
Tomorrow I will get up and CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN, Secret Sisters March Meeting is at our house tomorrow evening!!! When I am finished I will get our girl from her Papa's and I need to make my dish for our get together. Hopefully I will get to rest before all our sisters begin showing up:)
Tuesday Mom and I are taking Mikenna to San Antonio for her 2 month shots :( We may shop a little bit, she's ready for a Johnny/Jenny jump-up, if we have time. Then that evening we have Bible Study at Robert and Jackie's!!!

` Thursday after work is Volley Ball, I haven't decided yet if I will go but Mike will.
Then it's FRIDAY!!! Mike and I will go to work while Mikenna has her Friday-Papa-day!!! Than that evening the youth (and anyone else who wants to) are coming over for pizza and a movie!!!! I haven't had youth over in WAAAAAAAY TO LOOOOOOONNNNG!

ooh! ooh! pick me! pick me!!!
ok, my turn for 25 random things about me...
(I've had to think about it a lot)
1. It has taken God 32 years to prepare me for this contentment...I LOVE my life...and couldn't be happier than I am with these blessings
2. I have ALWAYS wanted to be a mommy; the desire to be a wife came along about 5 years ago!
3. As a child, I wanted to be a 3rd grade teacher and a part-time mechanic...I adored my dad and always "helped" him change oil and work on our vehicles. I can change my oil if I needed to!
4. I like puppies but not dogs
5. I live for Tuesday night Bible Study
6. Memories live in odd places for me...I look at my kitchen canisters and smile because I remember shopping for them with Dana!!! ~and the fact that they were on sale was a most pleasant surprise!!!!
7. I miss my Granny terribly. I always miss her at Thanksgiving and Christmas when those wonderful smells should be coming from HER kitchen, but Mikenna makes me miss her so much more, Granny would enjoy her greatly!
8. My mom is my the strongest and most compassionate person I know
9. It is very difficult for me to not want to treat some people with the same judgment and ridicule that they have dealt me. Its easy to forgive but so hard to forget
10. I LOVE thunderstorms; it's when God gives me a peek at His power!
11. The most amzing noise right now comes from 11 pounds of goodness :D
12. I'm blown away by the way Mike cares for 'Kenna
13. I love movies and could watch most of them over and over and over
14. I am a speech therapist because I WAS in speech therapy
15. I remember the first time I tied my shoes, my brother taught me how (we were in the old superS with my granny
16. I absolutely love the food network
17. I loved my experience in Guatemala
18. Parents that don't do everything possible to give their best to their children make me angry
19. I am not very good at sports or games but enjoy playing them
20. I am not competitive, but mischievous... I revel in beating someone who is very competitive...Beating Jamie at Risk (forever ago)
21. The Frio River is one of my favorite places to go
22. a spontaneous road trip to no where special is special.
23. I don't like my chin but LOVE Mikenna's
24. Movies that show poeple being mean and abusive to children and difficult for me to watch.
25. The way Mikenna looks at her Dady is priceless!!!

busy busy busy
Mike took the day off on Friday and he had fun plans for us! We got up early and headed to GeorgeWest to visit his Grandpa and let him meet Mikenna! Grandpa Catcus is 94 years old and just LOVES babies; ours was no different! HE laughed and smiled and thoroughly enjoyed our little munchkin! That was a great visit!!
After that we headed to Corpus where we met up with Kara, Ajane and Jamie. We ate lunch at Crawdaddy's mmmmm:P Cajun seafood...well I had chicken!! Ajane tried an oyster for the first time...FUNNY but good for her, I won't eat that slimy thing!
After lunch we visited with Mike's brother and his family, We haven't seen them since the baby was born. We had a good visit!
After leaving Lee's we headed to the beach in Port A for a while. It was getting a bit cool when we go there, We decided not to get Mikenna in the water, but I put her suit on for pictures...She liked the sand but didn't like when the cold water splashed on her after a wave; oops sorry baby! We stayed there for a few hours and then had dinner and ice cream before we headed back home. It was late when we left and we were all so very sleepy! the passengers all slept and weren't very helpful to our drivers, sorry Mike and Kara!
We woke up late Saturday morning and lounged around watching movies then early afternoon my parents came to visit for a while and then we headed to Charlotte to visit Mike's parents. They weren't there, but Mikenna was hungry so we fed her inthe car, put her to sleep and headed back home. His parents came over when they got back from San Antonio for a nice little visit!
When Jamie got off of work he and I went to the store for dinner. He got meat, I got corn and dessert. We picked up Mike and Mikenna and met Kara and Ajane at my mom's to grill out have dinner together and watch a movie! Dinner was excellent! most of us fell asleep during the movie! Mikenna spent the night.
Sunday we had church, ate lunch with family, Mikenna, mom and I went to a baby shower and then we got home to rest a while before we headed to SA with family for March Birthday dinner! It was fun but we were tired and on the way home Mikenna let us know that she was TIRED of being in her carseat and being held...poor baby, she was bundled, fastened and contained for most of 3 days. We played on the floor with her for an hour when we got home. She stretched her body enough to be ready for her bottle and her bed! and she slept!!!
We had a GREAT weekend but I think we were too too busy!

so much has happened...
Sunday morning i rose with memories from a year ago...
March 15, 2008 I woke up early (on a Saturday)met up with Joanna and Ashleigh and headed to San Antonio for hair and make-up. I hardly ever rise early on a Saturday, fixing up my hair is not something I generally worry over and how I often do I wear make-up... But this day was different; special! There was to be a wedding! White dress. New suit (3 actually) and 2 newly made pink dresses (hot pink, thank you)!!! And it was a BEAUTIFUL DAY; the previous week had brought us lots of rain that we were so thankful for as a community that needs rain but as a bride of an outside wedding, you thank the Lord for the rain on Friday and pray for a pause until Sunday.
What a wonderful day it turned out to be; I added a new last name to my identification and partner to my life. That day was the beginning of big changes...What a busy year it has been. As I type, I sit in my home tht we bought this summer, rocking in a new to me glider that was given to me this summer as I would need to rock a little something soon. And speaking of that little something, she's lying on the couch making those cute sleeping baby sounds!
So the last 53 weeks have brought many new things...
~a birthday--my favorite so far (31 was a GREAT year)
~a husband--who's fabulous
~a house
~a new district at work
~a baby
~and another birthday a week before...
~a first anniversary!

not planned
I have a blog in mind that I got on the internet to write...
I intended to post earlier today but was busy. We had a very enjoyable but VERY busy and very LATE weekend... My girl and I slept in this morning:) and I tried to nap this afternoon but each time I got Mikenna to sleep, she woke up shortly after I put her down (hopefully she will sleep well tonight).
the blog I intended to post will have to wait!!! I'm fading!

One month!
One month ago, we went into the hospital to get set up and receive a cream that would help with labor so we could induce the next day. We got into the room and hooked up to monitors a little after 4pm and the nurses were immediately on guard for our little one's heart beat was dropping. We delivered her a little before 9:00 that evening via a c-section and I had my first hello
that first week sure was stressful; we had lots to deal with at the hospital and then lots of visitors to greet us when we got home. There was also a few adjustments to be made by all at the house!! happy 1 week sweet heart!!!
We finished off the 1st week with Grandpaw & Mamaw heading home and leaving us to get started with just us 3. Whew! more adjustments, mom and dad got into the hang of things...sorta, I don't think we'll ever "get use to it" or "get it figured out"!!!
but we did begin a bit of a routine (at least for napping) :)
Week 3... started venturing out a little, besides going to church and doctor visits, Mikenna and I began going to work places to introduce her to our friends!!!
As week 4 started we began to try new things! (as mentioned in the previous post)
Tuesday I got on a little of a schedule, I washed laundry and folded and put it all away! and then today I was back to NOT being very organized, but some things did get done! Mamaw and Grandpaw are here to visit tonight on their way home from Corpus. I got cute pictures this morning!

a couple of firsts
Just a short list of a few fisrts from this weekend, not too many new things and not anything totally out of the ordinary but all new for us!
~Friday we took our first family walk! Our neighborhood has circles around and is 1 mile of nice shady road that makes for a good walk. Mikenna and I had taken a few short walks earlier in the week, but tis was my first full walk (1 mile) and the first time "Daddy" joined us! It was nice, but man I was tired when we returned home!! Hoping to walk again this evening when Mike gets home.
~Saturday was our first family outing... we went to San Antonio and traipsed around the mall a bit, met friends for a short visit and the ended up at Gruene to visit with my Aunt Beth and her Oscar and then had dinner with them. Very fun!!
~Sunday Mike and I "got in trouble" in our class (sad looks were given to us) when we walked in without Mikenna...She was in her class!!! Mikenna went to Cradle Roll class with her Mrs. Nell!!! It was hard to leave and I missed her during class, but I know that that is where she needs to be and you have to start somewhere!!!
~Monday we finally put a car seat base in Mike's truck and loaded our girl up...her first trip in Daddy's truck!!!
--Nothing spectacular, but just a few firsts!!
