Total Random- Babies, China, and Menus

Gotta start with a picture of my newphew.....

Isn't he so cute!!! He has a beer belly already at 4 months old!! On January 29, he will be 4 months old. I had a sleepover with him over the Christmas holidays. I wouldn't really call it a sleepover though because there was no sleeping involved. He has his days and nights mixed up for sure!!!

Now it's back to school- only 4 more months until summer!! Today felt like summer since it was 80 degrees in January!!! We had a TAKS practice test today- what that meant is me sitting at my computer all day long doing nothing! So I had a lot of time to research on the internet and I found a lovely everyday china pattern and if I was getting married soon, I would love to have it. It's called Juliska Berry and Thread.

But I am not getting married...so that's that..........

I am currently trying to plan my menu for the next week or so.....During my research today I looked up several new recipes that I would like to try.....

Monday night, I cooked one of Pioneer Woman's pasta dishes. I thought it was decent, maybe another can of tomatoes and some more spices.
Tonight, I plan on cooking Black Bean and Corn potatoes with some broccoli on the side.
Thursday night- I have left over chicken and rice soup. It was good- but I think I will stick to noodles instead of rice.
Friday night- I will be eating with my coworkers at Escalante's.
Saturday night- Wes caught some trout that we will be frying.
Sunday- HEB had chicken wings on sale so I plan on trying it out- hope it's as good as Buffalo Wild Wings.
Monday- shrimp pasta
Tuesday- pork tenderloin, veggies......?? I heart pork tenderloin. I have cooked it many different ways and loved them all.
Wednesday- Chicken sandwiches with spicy avocado and baked lays
Thursday- Chicken legs, mashed potatoes, some sort of veggie
Friday- I will make Wes take me out to dinner after all of that cooking.......

Normally I wouldn't cook every night like that. Sometimes I just feel like eating cereal, but my freezer is full of meat and so is Wes' freezer. So I gonna cook like a mad woman!!

It's been awhile

I used to post all the time in the summer, but then school started and I think I have done about 2 posts since then......

I have been doing a lot of traveling. I have been to 3 LSU games- Florida, Arkansas and the UL game. There were all lots of fun, but I don't think I could do that all the time like I used to. A really good friend of mine that went to Arkansas came to the game with us along with her hubby. We had a good time.



Now I am trying to get ready for Christmas and I haven't bought a single gift yet! I was just browsing on Z Gallerie and found some really neat things....unfortunately I don't know anyone that would want them and I don't have space for any of it!

But I think these beverage dispensers are so cool and unique.....Choice 1, Choice 2, and Choice 3. They are having a 20% off sale on tabletop and entertaining. PROMO code M20.

I like these napkin rings too. If you can't tell- I am obsessed with this store. These bowls are just what Sophie needs!

Anyways, this weekend I think I am going to START some Christmas shopping and head up to Old Town Spring on Saturday. I haven't been there in years so who knows what it will be like, but I am sure I can find something! The next weekend, I am going to Lafayette for my brother's graduation and my parent's Christmas party. My mom just had to have a party in her new house!

I will try to write more often!! Until then- ADIOS!

P.S. I met Pioneer Woman this weekend! Details later!

Brady Dyer

I got to meet my nephew for the first time today! He is absolutely adorable!! All he did was sleep the whole time! I cannot wait until he gets bigger!





I am about to head to Baton Rouge for a girls night out and then will be tailgating all day tomorrow for the biggest game of the year! Wes' dad gave us his tickets so I am so excited that Wes and I get to go to the game! On Sunday, I plan on heading back to Lafayette to see my nephew again!

I am an Aunt!

I am officially an aunt! I have a nephew! Brady was born on Tuesday, September 29, shortly after noon. 5 lbs 9 oz cute little boy! He was born about a month early; therefore, they had to stay at the hospital for 2 nights. They are now home. This will be their first night at home. No nurses to do everything for them! Brian said Brady is mostly just sleeping right now. Camille only had to push for about 45 minutes, possibly less. From what I understand, she was pretty lucky!

I am going home next weekend and I cannot wait to see him!

Here is a picture of him on his first day at his house in his nice chair that I bought him....

Here he is at the hospital before going home....

Shocking News

So after many months of thinking I was going to have a niece- it's now a nephew!

Now I need to meet someone that is having a baby girl- and is naming it Zoey....





I also have lots of Ralph Lauren girl stuff that no one can wear!!

Well I am now a quarter of a century old....that is pretty depressing! The Saturday night before my birthday- a large group of us went out to eat at El Tiempo and to Sawyer Park afterward. We had a lot of fun! The night of my birthday- Wes and I went to dinner.
He also gave me these really pretty earrings for my birthday....


We are headed to Lafayette this weekend for the baby shower. I guess multiple people will be returning gifts and buying other things! I think we are also going to the LSU game, but wont make it to BR until 4 or 5.

Goodbye Miss....

Since school started, I haven't had much time to post. 2 weeks down, many more to go!

A couple quotes to me from my kids the first week of school...

"Goodbye Miss Vagina"
"Can I do you again?"


I am enjoying having Monday off. A friend came to visit this weekend. We spent some time at the pool, some time at restaurants, and some time watching LSU football! We also spent a few hours on the dance floor at Whiskey Creek. We had a blast!

Now I may do some shopping today, mostly for groceries. But I did find this website- and I may have to do some shopping on it!


This site was brought to my attention as well.....
