Busy as a Little Bee!

Ok, we have been SUPER busy around here...it has been 1 week since my last post, and I vowed not to go more than a week, so here goes:

~ Gabriel was sick last week with a horrible cold...took him to the doctor and they gave him some cough syrup on Tuesday...he wasn't running a fever....Took him to daycare on Wednesday and surprise! He was running a fever and I had to go pick him up...I am new to this whole surprise! drop what you are doing at work and go pick up your sick kid. Turns out, on Friday we realize he is cutting 4 teeth! No wonder the kid felt crappy all week! He is mostly better now, still a little cough...

~ Helped give a baby shower on Sunday for my cousin...lots of fun, good food, and cute gifts, but I was EXHAUSTED when we got home and so was Gabriel...he had to come b/c everyone who could possibly baby-sit for him was at the shower! He had a great time though, played with everyone and crawled all around and just wore himself out!

~ We are skipping this week's UNC football game b/c it is starting at 7:00...that is just too late for us to drive back after and we didn't want to spend the night. Next weekend Cedric is off and we are all going to the Notre Dame game and then spending the night with our friends Laura and Travis in their new house, we can't wait!!!!

~ Cedric and Gabriel are visiting Cedric's family tonight..I am supposed to be cleaning, but I really needed to BLOG! I already vacuumed and mopped the kitchen, that's pretty good! Now if I can just do a little laundry and get the house vacuumed before they get home...

~ We celebrated Zach's 27th b-day last Thursday, he is getting old just like the rest of us!

~ The Tarheels and the Panthers won this weekend!!!!

~ And the big news....Zach and Nicole found out last Tuesday that they are having a little boy!!!! Jackson Clyde Sigmon!!!!!

~ Oh I forgot to mention this...I burned my ENTIRE forearm last Sunday night on the oven door...Don't even ask how I did it, I have no clue! It looks horrible and is finally beginning to feel better....Great way to start the week off!!!

Hey, at least Monday is almost over with!!

Introductions!

Gabriel got to meet Rameses for the first time this weekend at the ballgame! It was a bad football weekend for us though, the Tarheels lost and so did the Panthers...both teams had a good lead and then blew it. Cedric was happy because the Cowboys won last night.



We all got to meet Tucker, the latest Boston Terrier addition over at my Aunt Carol's house...isn't he adorable???? You will never believe this, a man GAVE him to her and the boys outside of PetSmart this weekend! Someone had dropped him off on the man's porch and he was taking him to PetSmart to find a home for him. Talk about luck!!!! The vet thinks he is around 6 weeks old and he is ADORABLE. Their other Boston Terrier Sammy really seems to be doing great with him too. It really made me want a puppy....but I don't think I could handle a puppy and Gabriel at the same time!




Here are some more pics from the game on Saturday:

7 Candles on the Cake

My 1st baby (Rocky) turned 7 today!!!! He got a new "favorite" ball from PetSmart (it is a round stuffed one that is leopard print-this is probably the 10th one, he LOVES them and uses them as a pillow propped in his mouth) and some other treats. He is such a good boy and has really adjusted so well to Gabriel. I am really proud of him. I still love snuggling up with him at night, he usually gets on the sofa with me after Gabriel goes to bed and of course you know he sleeps right beside me in the bed. I really can't believe it has been 7 years since he came into my life. I love you Rocky!!! You will always be my baby too!!!

Oct. 31 Preview!

We have Gabriel's costume, we ordered it online....Here it is!

He looks SO adorable in it, I can't wait for Halloween! We are trying to find a banana costume for Rocky. My cousin Melissa found this picture online, but we aren't sure where or if you can by these...



Wouldn't Gabriel and Rocky make a cute pair??? If anyone has any ideas on where I could find a banana costume for dogs, please let me know! As a backup, I am looking for fabric with bananas or monkeys on it to make a bandana for Rocky to wear :)

Just Dreamin

When Cedric got home I was looking for new jobs on Monster (for both of us)....I'm sure I could probably find one as a Speech Pathologist, but here's the catch...I want to work part-time, with benefits and full time pay...and not have to deal with any bullshit...yeah, I should just keep on dreamin right????

At least tomorrow is Saturday and I don't have to go :)

Sweet Potatoes

Gabriel does NOT like sweet potatoes(see picture below), but he does like cottage cheese, go figure! We are so glad it is Friday. These 5 day weeks are kicking my butt!! We are celebrating Martin's birthday tonight by going out to dinner. Then I hope to RELAX for the rest of the weekend.
