Meeting Baby Jack!!!

2009-03-24T17:44:00.000-07:00

Oh what a fun weekend we had. We left Omaha early Wednesday morning and drove the long long drive to Texas. Grant was so excited that he only napped 30 minutes the entire day. He would say Now we in Texas mommy and I would say No not yet and then he would say yes we in Texas mommy. This went on the whole way until we reached Mimi and Coaches house at about 10:30 PM. We stopped near Ft. worth and had dinner with PaPa. Grant was so excited to see him and they got to play together for a while. It was a nice break from the long drive. Then the next day we got to meet baby Jack Sibley. Clints sisters baby. Man is he cute and what a great baby he is. I think the whole day I heard him cry once because he was hungry. Maybe he is going to be the opposite of Grant and be laid back. Grant was in full force and so excited to meet baby Jack. All he wanted to do was hold baby Jack, play with baby Jacks toys and hold baby Jack. We had such a wonderful day getting to know him. What a great trip.

We went to Houston to visit my sister and some friends and had a great time. Thanks to Bryan and Lindsey for a fun weekend away. I got to go to Harwin so I had my fix for awhile.

On the way back to Omaha things got a little crazy. The car ride seemed soooo long. We stopped for lunch and after lunch ordered some small ice cream cones. wow!!! Grant had the biggest ice cream cone ever. It did keep him busy for just a little while.

I dont't know why if is formatting like this. But I can't fix it.

Valentines Day... 5 years

2009-02-16T06:35:00.000-08:00

WOW it has been five years of marriage for Clint and me but dating and knowing each other for 15 yrs. That is so fun to me. I remember our first date after a Friday night football game. Me in my cheerleading uniform and we went to McDonald's to get an ice cream. I still like to go there to get ice cream. Time has flown by. A 2 year old little boy, a new home state of Nebraska and lots of new friends. Times have changed in such a great way. We had a wonderful day. I went to the store and got a sled for the boys to play on since we had about 8 inches of snow. It was kind of fun since if you remember on our wedding day it snowed in TEXAS crazy. I got home and had some stuff for my boys. Grant and I made Valentines Day cupcakes and for daddy mommy made Paula Deans bread pudding his favorite desert and I found a 2004 bottle of Sterling wine. We were there in 2004 for part of our honeymoon and I thought this would be a fun surprise for Clint. He loved the bread pudding. I have to say that is was yummy but how can you go wrong with anything Paula Dean. Always fat fat and more yummy. Clint got me a beautiful diamond and ruby ring. It matches my wedding band and I am just loving it. We also... the three of us went to a really nice steak dinner. I got steak and crab legs my all time favorite. Mr. G did great he also got his own steak and loved it. What a wonderful evening with my boys. Clint is so thoughtful and truly my soul mate. I can not wait for the many more years to come. He is the love of my life and has already given me the best gift ever which is our little man Grant. What a true blessing of the Lord. I think that is crazy how much love you can have in your heart. True love is hard to find I hear but I feel so blessed to of found mine at 15. Love you Babe.

They both LOVED it. Clint was really good for his first time. He went around like a pro after just a few times around. I took Grant around and he did not want to stop. He kept saying more ice skating mommy pleeeease. So we skated around a few times. It was much harder than I remembered it being. What a fun family outing. I love days like this.

Sing the ABCs with help. He knows all his colors. Loves to play with friends. He is a dessert eater. Ice cream he loves. He likes to play hide and seek and he will cover his eyes and count to five and then look at you and laugh because he knows he needs to count to ten. He is very sweet. He now loves GO Diego Go and so do I because he will really watch it. Did I say he is very verbal. No is his favorite word.I think he remembers everything from when he was little.It is amazing to watch his little mind work. He will remind us to pray at dinner. he likes to eat waffles for breakfast almost every day. Man is he fun fun fun. these are just some of the things he does. I need to sit and write everything he does. We love you Grant.

Merry Christmas

2009-01-02T14:57:00.000-08:00

We had a very Merry Christmas. We drove to Texas for the first time. I was really worried about the 12 hours and an almost 2 year old. But man did he prove me wrong. He did great thanks to many books, music, Go Diego Go, and lots of snacks. It was a really nice trip. We went to Waco to visit with my family and then to Dallas with Clints family. Grant really loved Santa this year. It was lots of fun. Here are some pics.

Santa came early to Omaha

2008-12-20T08:58:00.000-08:00

Santa came to Omaha today because we will be traveling to Texas. So we did get to have a white Christmas a couple of days early. We gave Grant his big Christmas gift this morning and he is still playing in it with his daddy. Merry Christmas everyone.

My buddy Cameron and Me

2008-12-20T06:13:00.000-08:00

I watched a friend of mines little one on Wednesday for a while. Grant and Cameron had a blast. They played up stairs, in the basement, and everywhere. Before lunch I decided we should make some Christmas cookies. Soooooo here they are making cookies. We had a great day with Grants buddy Cameron.

Yes Grant has on his PJs and his cowboy boots. He did not want to wear anything else and we were not going anywhere so....

MDO Christmas

2008-12-17T13:04:00.000-08:00

Grant made a shirt with my mom while we were in Waco for Thanksgiving. He wore it to MDO and we took his teachers some gifts. He was really excited.

Winter is HERE!!!

2008-12-17T12:26:00.000-08:00

Well winter is officially here in Omaha. It snowed 4 inches yesterday and was 4 degrees. I asked Clint where did he move us to. It was a fun day. We went for a drive to see if I could drive in this weather. Went to lunch. Came home and Grant took a nap and then Grant and his daddy shoveled the drive way. Wow!!! shoveling the drive I am sure glad that is not my job. Grant had lots of fun in the snow. Here are some pics.

Like totally 80s

2008-12-10T06:14:00.000-08:00

Clint and I went to an 80s party on Saturday night. It was lots of fun. Clint tight rolled his jeans and wore a Super Man shirt. I found both at goodwill. And as some of you know I have been trying to bring back the side pony tail for years. So any chance I get to wear it with out stares I am there. I have bangs now so the side pony was taken to a new level..with the ratted bangs. sooooo fun. I wore a sweater I found at goodwill with a mini skirt and tights and ofcourse leg warmers.( yes I already had them from the many years of dance.)Blue eyeshadow and red lips. I really love dress up parties.

First SNOW

2008-12-10T06:05:00.000-08:00

We had the first snow while my parents where in town. It has been really cold but we have missed lots of snow just by like 30 miles. I know I will not want it here when it comes but I am kindof excited for the first big snow. I am also going to put some pics of Grant decorating his tree with his daddy and helping Coach with the hammering. Grant loves to build things mostly houses he says. He fixes chairs and cars, just a true handy man.

First Christmas Party in Omaha

2008-12-10T05:35:00.000-08:00

We had our first Christmas party in Omaha last weekend. We were lucky to have my parents in town for the week to help me. They were a huge help. I know I could of not done it without them there. Mom and I made all the food desserts and apps. Dad was our assistant cook. He also help decorate. He did the outside of the house. Man did we have a good time and it was fun for all our friends to meet my parents. I only have a couple pics as I was having fun myself and forgot to capture the party on camera. Thanks mom and dad for all you help. Love you Much

Thanksgiving Travels

2008-12-08T06:22:00.000-08:00

We went to Dallas for a week to visit Clints family. His grandmother and grandad were in from El Paso and we got to see his Aunts and Uncles. It was a very nice visit. Grant was not the best sleeper but we are almost back to normal now. After Dallas we headed to Waco with my family. We had Thanksgiving at Ninnies house. It was a blast to see everyone. Meme and Grant made gingerbread cookies and a Christmas shirt you will see later. Here are some pics from our Texas travels.

On the way back to Nebraska Clint flew home with Grant and I drove the twelve hour drive with my parents. They came to Ne for the week to help decorate for the holidays. This is what we drove through in Kansas.WOW snow.

Halloween

2008-11-02T17:56:00.000-08:00

We had a very busy Halloween week. First MDO..I made him a ghost sandwich and he loved it. He talked about it all day. He also wore his cute shirt my mom sent him. Thanks MEME. Much. Then the rest of the week was filled with activities.But Friday we went back to the pumpkin patch again.It is much harder to get a cute pumpkin patch picture this year than last year. Then that night Clint took him to trick or treat with all the kids in the neighborhood. He had a blast and when he came home he really enjoyed passing out candy to the people that came to our door. He did have his first piece of real candy. A bite size Milky Way. Now he says choloate bite please mommy days after. I think I created a monster.

Grandma and The Sibleys visit

2008-10-26T12:50:00.000-07:00

Grandma,Suzanne and Jonathan came to visit. We had a great time. The weather was yucky the first few days but we did still make it to the pumpkin patch. It was lots of fun. Clint, Me, Suzanne and Jonathan went to the Baylor vs. Nebraska game on Saturday. It was lots of fun. We got there early and got to tailgate and then stayed a little while after to get something to eat. It was a great visit and we look forward to seeing them over Thanksgiving.

Move over Martha

2008-10-26T12:37:00.000-07:00

So I got a little crafty this weekend. Clints sister Suzanne was in town and we saw some really cute door hangs at a pumpkin patch we went to but they were 40 dollars so we decided to make them for a fraction of the price.

I had also seen a really cute pumpkin monogramed so I made one. You can see it on the front porch with an E. I also did a small one for the mantel.

Grant had fun playing in the box I used to cut out the pumpkin door hang.

CUPCAKE FUN!!!

2008-10-20T14:32:00.000-07:00

I picked Grant up early from MDO and we made some Halloween cupcakes. We baked them and then he took a nap. When he woke up we iced them and snacked on them. He put the spiders on top.

A HORSE IS A HORSE....

2008-10-20T13:13:00.001-07:00

Grant loves horses. He loves to sit on them and pretend like his is riding them. He has a really cool stick horse that his Aunt Lizzie bought for him that makes noises when you touch his ears. He rides it around the house and makes Clint ride it around too. I hope to catch a picture of this soon. This is his first time for him to see a big horse and to sit on it. We had a football watching party at some people from sunday schools house and they brought the horse out for the kids to ride. He did not go anywhere on the horse but he thought it was sooo cool just to get to sit on it. I think that is why he was so excited to ride the pony at the pumpkin patch. From the clothes you can tell that this was before it got cold. A friend took these pictures and just sent them to me.

Fall Party

2008-10-20T05:56:00.000-07:00

The MOMs club that I joined is always doing something fun for the kids. We had a fall holiday party at a friends house. They way over did it. Pumpkin decorating,mask decorating, bounce house, slides, play gyms, cars, tooo much fun. Grant had a blast. He is very busy and loves to run around in her backyard. He went as a giraffe and actually left his costume on the entire time. I was so proud of him. I did not get to sit and talk much as Grant is all over the place and thinks he can do everything the big kids do. Here are some fun pictures from the party.

POOLEYS PUMPKIN PATCH

2008-10-18T16:04:00.000-07:00

This is the first of many pumpkin patch blogs that I will be posting. There are the best pumpkin patches here. We went with our Sunday School class and there familys to this Pumpkin patch. Grant had so much fun petting the baby chicks and all the other aniamls. He got to ride the horse all by himself. Parents had to stay away. Of course I was a little nervous...but he held on tight and was so excited he was riding by himself. What a big boy. He has talked non stop about all the animals and the pumpkins that he got to see. What a fun family outing. Only thing was it was sooooo cold. I am not ready for this weather. Very cold, windy and did I say cold. Help!!! I need lots of sweaters and boots that are waterproof.

Texas

2008-10-09T11:37:00.000-07:00

We went to Texas to visit this past week. We had a blast. We got to see everyone and hangout with Meme, Coach, Aunt Lizzie, Ninnie, Bebe, and alot of Memes friends. We flew in for a baby shower for one of my friends and she was not able to make it because she was put on bed rest. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I got to hang out with all my old running buddies. Everyone is doing great and having babies. Some number one and others number 2. We always have so much fun seeing each other. It is like time really hasn't past but somehow we all got married and have children. Spending time with friends like that is truly priceless.

We went to the Waco rodeo one night and Grant had a great time with Coach. He is still talking about all the animals. He is a talker. Another day Ninnie came over and Grant and Ninnie made muffins. They had a blast. When I am cooking now he will say stir stir mommy. Ninnie mouse. HAHAHA We miss everyone so much. Here are some pictures from the fun trip.

Grant really loves playing the piano at my parents here are some pics.

Rivercity Roundup!!

2008-09-27T14:59:00.000-07:00

We went to the rodeo here in Omaha this weekend. It was lots of fun. Grant got to wear his boots for the first time. He loved them and kept saying mama and daddy and grant boots. Yeap!!! We all wore our boots. We got to see cows, sheep,and pigs. Grant was a little scared at first at the size of the cows as you can see in the first picture but he warmed up and enjoyed looking at all the animals and making their sounds. They had a kid play area that Grant really loved. He drew a picture, danced to the kid band, picked veggies and eggs from the farm, played in the construction area and explored with the hidden holes. He was very tired but he was still up for some rodeo food. We got a turkey leg,french fries and a lemonade. I had brought a bananna so he ate that too. What a fun Saturday afternoon. Look at those cute boots I found for him red and black can't get any better.He is taking a really good nap now.

Safari Saturday

2008-09-21T09:02:00.000-07:00

This weekend we went to the drive through safari. We have gone one time before and Grant really enjoys it. He sits on the console of the car and looks at all the animals. He makes the sounds of the animals as he sees them and hears them. The first animal you see are the elk. They were making the craziest noise like a screaming baby and Grant was making the noise after them. Now if you ask him what sound an elk makes, he will make a screaming noise. It is cute. We also saw lots of birds and a bear and some buffalo. It was a really nice Saturday afternoon.

Dance it up

Lincoln Ne

2008-09-18T14:32:00.000-07:00

We decided on Sat. to go to Lincoln Ne to get the game day feel. University of Nebraska is there and it is also our state capital. We got there and people were everywhere. Everyone wears red. It was neat to see all the tail gating and spirit of a college town again. We had lunch at a place called Buzzard Billies which is crazy because there is one in Waco TX and we did not know there was others. Crazy. Then in the down town square where we ate was a train station. Grant loves trains so we walked over and he watched as the trains passed by and honked the horn. It was a really fun day. Oh we did do a drive by of the state capital.

MDOut

2008-09-08T14:34:00.000-07:00

Today was Grants first day at Mothers Day Out. I had to wake him up this morning because it was a yucky day out and I think he would of slept through MDO. We got dressed and I took some photos of his first day. We had already had a meet the teachers so they called Grant by name when I dropped him off. They seem really sweet. He started crying saying mommy mommy. I could not take it. I got in the car and called Clint upset about his reaction to me leaving. What a heart break to hear him calling my name. I know that he is going to learn alot and meet alot of new friends, but going to the store without him is actually boring and I find myself talking outloud because I am so used to talking to him. People give me funny looks but most are moms and they mostlikly have gone through the same things. I pray that the drop off gets easier and that he really loves it.

After school I wanted to do something special for his first day. We went to get a cupcake a Cupcake Island. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy. Grant got a small white cake with white icing and I got what they called a cloud nine. Angelfood cake with whip cream and a cherry. So good. grant had fun and was very excited about all the cupcakes. Overall today was a great day.

Wacky Wednesday Lunch!!

2008-09-08T14:25:00.000-07:00

We has some friends over for a Wacky Lunch. Thanks to many great ideas that i had gotten off other peoples blogs. They all brought a muffin tin and got to choose what they wanted to eat. They all had such a blast that we are going try and do this once a month. We had Wacky Lunch at the park behind our home. The kids ate and played. The moms talked and talked. It was alot of fun!!

Watermelon Mess

2008-08-30T11:49:00.000-07:00

Grant loves watermelon all of a sudden. It makes a huge mess. That is why he doesn't have his clothes on in the pictures. We went to the farmers market today and bought what is called a black diamond watermelons.Yummy!!! I love the farmers market here. All the fresh veggies and meat and fruit. SOOOOO Good.

We all scream for ice cream!!!

2008-08-28T12:18:00.000-07:00

We have been having such a fun summer now that we are in the house. We will have dinner and then head to the park behind the house. There are always kids there for Grant to play with. One night after dinner we gave Grant an ice cream bar and he loved it. He has had ice cream before just not like this. he loved it and made a huge mess. I love those moments with him experiencing new things. Here are some pics from the ice cream bar.

MeMe and Ninnie

2008-08-22T07:27:00.000-07:00

My mom and grandma came to see us in Omaha. It was Ninnies first time to see the house. Ninnie had not flown in over 15 years. How exciting. We celebrated Ninnies 82nd birthday and moms birthday which is in September. We had a blast. Grant is talking soooo much, everyday new words. It is so much fun. He can say Ninnie and Meme, and some of the new words are lemonade,big truck,park,up and down, there are so many I really can't remember them all. I think by next month he will be saying sentences. I don't know where he gets it from.

We went to the zoo one day and saw all the animals. We were in the aquarium and he walked up to us and said "done". He was ready to move on to the next place. It was so cute. We rode the train and Grant says Choo Choo.

We also went shopping and had lunch in Old Town. We bought some fresh sweet corn and Grant loved it. What a blessing that Ninnie was able to come visit. He loves spending time with Meme and Ninnie. Here are some pics from there visit.

Lizzie Time!!!

2008-08-22T07:20:00.000-07:00

My sister came to visit for a long weendend. We had a blast. We hung out with Grant, went garage selling, out to eat, and played at the park. We went out for a girls night one night and went and ate sushi and went dancing. Grant was so excited to see her that he could not even sleep the first night she was here. He loves her so.

Splash park fun!!!

2008-07-29T15:08:00.000-07:00

Today we met some moms at this splash park. Grant loved it. He would run around and try not to get water dumped on his head. He really enjoyed the sprayers.I wish we had one of these closer we would go everyday.

He now has three molars. Yes just three. I know our little man is behind on getting teeth but three molars at once can I say Tylenol and Motrin. He really does good during the day except for the drooling, but at night they seem to hurt and he can't get comfortable.

Look at all those teeth

Farmers Market

2008-07-27T18:04:00.000-07:00

We have started going to the local farmers market. We get really great meat from a local farm called Hollenbeck farms Yummmmmmmy!!! We also get all of the fresh veggies. Lots and Lots of differnt farms. Local honey and cheese. we have a fun time going and Grant likes looking and tasting all the goodies.

2nd visitors to Omaha!!

2008-07-27T18:02:00.000-07:00

Clints parents made the long drive from Dallas to come and visit us. We had a really great time. Everyone was feeling good and we really got to enjoy their visit and got to show them some of our favorite places in Omaha. Two really good Mexican food places. I know Omaha and Mexican but I have to tell you really good food. We got to hang out and go to the park and play. We went to the zoo one day and had a blast. The zoo is amazing so much to see you can't see it all in one day. We rode the train. Grant loves riding the train. He is talking so much now it is so fun. Thanks to the Edens for making the long drive and for the parking spaces in the garage. We had fun and look forward to seeing you soon.
