So today is my birthday and my very precious friend Holly has tagged me with a prestigious blog award... So here goes.
I'm supposed to list five things I am addicted to, then honor five others with the prestigious blog award, and they are supposed to carry on and on and on...
The Top FIVE Most Addictive Things in My Life:(In no particular order)
1. My family and friends- whether it's blood family, church family, friends that act like family, or just plain awesome friends... I've been blessed so much with wonderful people in my life and I LOVE to be around them. Although many of them live far away from me, I still think about them and love them every single day... But I'm also really blessed with best friends here in Winston too! :)
2. David and Tyler. I mean I guess they fall into the family category too, specifically I just can't get enough of them. David is so sweet and thoughtful and takes care of us oh so much, and little Tyler just melts my heart. They both make me oh so happy!
3. Sunday afternoon naps- I took this from Holly, but it's true. I never get to take an afternoon nap, but Sunday, it just needs to happen. It is just good for the body and soul and usually Tyler thinks so too, cause he usually takes a good 2-3 hour Sunday nap too!
4. God/Jesus- Where-ever I have gone in my life I have been blessed beyond measure. It's amazing how God always comes through in the toughest situations. We are so very blessed beyond measure and would be lost with Him!
5. Being outside. I love pretty spring/fall days and just soaking it all in. I use to love to run on those days and just feel refreshed, but now I can't hardly run because of my OLD knees, so I enjoy walking and just being outside!!
6. I know it said 5, but I say 6... One Tree Hill, The Bachelor, and The NEW 90210. Okay I'm addicted! Yes they are always recorded, just in case something comes up and I can't watch them!

Then this was our Sunday afternoon nap. I did get to sleep for about 15 minutes until David got home from church and woke me up, so I was "suppose" to be asleep for this picture, but smiled on an accident. I still thought it was precious of Tyler. He's just gotten to where he likes to lay and cuddle with you on the couch and then he falls asleep, it's heavenly! ;)
I had to leave church early on Wednesday because silly me brought everything and the kitchen sink, except... a bottle!!! So he started getting squirmy in class and I decided I better head home or might have a screaming child in a matter of minutes. Thank goodness he didn't start till we pulled into the driveway.. Perfect timing. So, since we were home early I decided to try a little rice cereal. Of course it's so running it's practically liquid, but he actually did pretty good. It mostly just ran straight out of his mouth, but he didn't cry or anything
, so we'll do it again soon. :) Barbara told me that sometimes it helps to give him a spoon to hold so he doesn't try to grab yours while your feeding him... Great idea... The only problem is he decided he wanted to feed himself, that's right at 4 months he's feeding himself, what a prodigy I have!! :) J/K Here are a few pictures of the progress and I"ll try to post the video too! Hope it works!
ure it wouldn't just stop for my bday. I did feel better, but not great. Tyler started getting it to, which stinks even more cause he can't take the medicine like I can, poor thing. But anyway, I woke up to a wonderful surprise in my living room. David had made 2 big hearts out of pink roses and had a vase full of beautiful pink roses. 
He had me 2 precious cards, one from him and one from Tyler. Of course David being himself, had given me the presents from Tyler the night before. He got me 2 work-out outfits, 3 pairs of comfy pants, and a tupperware organizer. He's so sweet and thoughtful.
y new years post. I'll get back in the swing of things soon, I hope.
A day or two before New Years, we had my papa's brother, Vernon and his daughter Becky over for dinner. It was so good to see them. Vernon lives in King about 25 minutes away and Becky lives in TN. We had a good visit and they just ate up Tyler! :)
It was really good and we all enjoyed it. Then a bunch of our friends came over to our house to play games and bring in the new year. We had a blast and so 
glad we have great friends to celebrate with. Of course Tyler passed out about 10:00 so he rang in the new year fast asleep in his crib, but I did manage to g
et a picture of him.
I did change a wet diaper in my lap a littler earlier, but I wasn't going t
o attempt the stinky one, I don't think the people sitting around me would have appreciated that so much! But anyway, we made it. I was surprised that there was NO snow on the ground. In my mind when we landed there was going to be inches of snow everywhere, not so much. 
We rented a car and headed to Colorado Springs (about 45 minutes) and we did see snow on the ground here and there, but nothing like I had imagined. The conference was great. There were so many awesome speakers and the singing was just amazing. Tyler did
great the whole week as always. It was just really neat to be with my family all 
week. We didn't get to do much site seeing because Tyler couldn't handle to much of the elevation, but we did make it to The Garden of the Gods. 
It's an amazing park 
with giant rocks and stuff like that. We managed to take a few pics, but not too many because that day it was pretty cold and we had to get back to Denver to catch our flight.
Tyler had his 4 month check up today including his shots. He did great and only cried for about 30 seconds. Thanks to David for being a tough daddt and staying with him while I left the room, I just can't bare that, but I guess sooner than later I'll have to get over it. But anyway. He weighed 15lbs 10oz (70%), 25 1/4" long (64%) and his head 
measured 17", I think, which I forgot what percentile that was but it was average. But the doctor said he's right on schedule and looks great. So we were happy and thankful for a great check-up!
