Thanksgiving Nerves

The other day I was grocery shopping and on my list was a bunch of food for a Thanksgiving meal. We decided to have Thanksgiving as our little family and not travel anywhere or visit anyone. Kind of like a new tradition...we shall see anyways. So as I'm shopping for the turkey and everything else, it hits me that I'm the one who will be cooking all the food this year. I have never cooked a Thanksgiving meal in my whole entire life! I didn't even really cook until we got married...granted, Brandon says he likes my cooking, so I wasn't really worried before. But now, I've never cooked a turkey before...I don't even know where to start...and all the other things that go with a Thanksgiving meal...how am I supposed to cook all of those things? Ahhh! I am slightly freaking out! :) So, all this week I am going to be making a plan...a plan of what I am going to cook, how long each one has to cook, and when I need to start cooking everything in order to have a hot meal on the table by dinner time! I think that should help! Plus, we aren't having a full blown turkey...what's the point with just two people eating? We just decided to have a turkey breast instead...so I feel slightly better about that...but only slightly. Well, we shall see how everything goes. Even if I burn everything, I know that Brandon will still eat it...I know he will tell me it stinks (he's just that way) , but he will still eat it because he's just that way! And I love him for that! Well...wish me luck!

New Pictures

Just some new pictures of our adorable son...he's definitely going to be a charmer!

Stupid Internet!

Last week, our power went out for like a couple of minutes but since then our internet hasn't really worked the way it's supposed to. Brandon will come home from class and have to fix it and get it working again and then the very next day it will be down. It has been a real pain...and Brandon's getting pretty frustrated...so while it's working I figured I might as well enjoy it while it last!

Not much to report...David is growing fast! He is now rolling all over like a pro...which is fun to watch but a pain when I'm trying to change or put clothes on him. Brandon is acing all of his classes and just got a 105% on one of his tests...and he didn't even study!! He doesn't know how lucky he is!! To get that grade, I have to study my butt off!! :) I've registered for 2 classes next semester...so I'm really excited to get back to school and finally finish, but I'm worried about leaving David. I have to find someone to babysit him on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I know he'll be alright, but I still worry.

Our Little Lion

For Halloween Brandon and I decided we wanted to do a little play on words...so we decided to have David be a lion...we thought it was fitting with our last name and all! He was so cute! We also let him suck on a twizzler and boy did he like that! We didn't actually let him eat it...whenever a piece broke off we would throw it away, so he didn't have too big of a sugar high! :)

Tonight, our friends, Tyler and Courtney, let us borrow their jumperoo for David to use since he just wants to bounce now-a-days (Mommy and Daddy don't have the arm strength to let him bounce for too long). He absolutely loved it!!! He just kept bouncing and bouncing...even when he was tired. He wanted to be in it for as long as possible that we have a video of him falling asleep and then waking himself up because his legs would start bouncing! It was HILARIOUS!!! We're thinking about sending it in to Funniest Home Videoes! And even if we don't, it will definitely be a charished video for the rest of our lives!

He had his 6 month old check up yesterday at the doctors, and he had to get 3 shots. :( It's so hard watching the nurses stick him and then having him cry...but you know it is what's best. But other than that, we have a very healthy baby on our hands! YAY! He was 18 lbs (58 percentile) and 27 1/4 inches long (76 percentile). His head circumference is 17.3 inches (50 percentile)...so he is just growing, growing, growing! We love it!!
