So much to post so lil time:):)







HaHa! That is Elijah's first picture with Santa! We actually don't do Santa to emphasis Jesus and so Elijah knows the truth.. but we thought it would be fun to have a pic with him! LOL He was SOOOOOOOOoooOOOOO nervous and kept shaking and making faces like the one you see there!!!!!! It was Wednesday night after the youth's Christmas party at Cici's Pizza when we had a pizza eating contest. Wayne came in 2nd place with 36 pieces of pizza!! (Which explains the next picture!) Garret won with 38 PIECES!!!!!!???!! The manager actually announced it to the restaurant (also stating that 32 was the record there!) and gave him a free buffet ticket, LOL!




Noah is one month and 2 days! Can you believe it? We are so so grateful to Jesus for all these wonderful blessings!

I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY have not had the time to be on here and that is why there are not zillions of beautiful pictures up but there will be someday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We got some pictures done for sending out inside of our Christmas cards but i didn't beat the Post Office so Monday morning out they will go! Just in time! HAHA! Here are some of the pictures from day. OH! I must say that Noah looks just like Elijah in these pictures and I actually used the same shirt Elijah had his professional first pictures in (except I am not professional, hehehe)We hoped for sun but I think they're cute anyway! Also we were planning on just close ups so explains the batman shoes but here ya go! LOL!















We're at Howard Payne University, by the way. It still feels like a major part of our lives.


Yesterday I took Noah to see Dr. Hull bc he has been having red bumps all over his body for a week... Dr. Hull said he is allergic to fragrance in his body wash like Elijah & me (Aveeno's had light fragrance in it) so after talking with me about Mary Kay he totally recommended the non fragrant washes we have! No prob, Bob! lol! GET THIS.... since his last check up 2 weeks ago (WHEN HE WAS 7lbs and 13oz.. 20 in. long) he is NOW 9lbs, 8oz and 21 inches long! He really has been eating so much! He is such a healthy boy and VERY STRONG PRAISE THE LORD!

Our days are B-U-S-Y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are of course filled with baby & boy plus everything else... and today, a puppy!



It's a BOY, of course! Another boy haha... He is a VERY cute Jack Terrier.. 8 weeks old and his name is Joe. He is Elijah's birthday present that we have promised him for 1 year now! We said when his 5th birthday came, he could have a dog and he has talked about it ALL YEAR LONG! At the time we didn't know we were going to have a baby or we might have geared it to some other present until later because of all the germs and time effort but we can't go back on our word now... especially when it has been his greatest anticipation! Elijah's birthday is January 14 but we saw Joe today and just knew he was the one! Very mild & gentle... will be a medium sized dog and is very sweet so he is perfect! Elijah has thought of several names all year but kept going back to Joe. I didn't remind him of the name and he remembered when the name game came up! I felt like a lost sheep in a whole new world today when I was shopping for dog food, collar, shampoo, etc. .... I had no idea what to get for dog food and even asked a stranger! lol She said to get the SCIENCE DIET dog food that you can get at the tractor supply store bc it will make their stools hard so you can keep them indoors but i was thinking nooooo way about that dog inside with my baby but good to know for indoor dogs! Decided on Purina Beneful for puppies. We'll try it out. I will do more research on all the stuff for dogs soon. lol Elijah has already tried to take a nap cuddled beside the puppy on the porch! lol Sooo cute. They work SO well together..... at first he was a little rough with Joe but i had to explain that "PUPPY" means BABY dog so be gentle..lol he knows about baby gentle now you know!


After Wayne gets off on Christmas Eve (6pm) we head out for Fort Stockton until Sunday the 28th. Then on Friday, January 2nd we head to east Texas..12 hours away... for Courtney's wedding on the 3rd! We will be home the 4th.. phew! I am so excited!!! This will be a sort of "vacation" time for us.

I will post more when I can!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
