ME AND THE KIDS

SO WE HAD A NICE LOW KEY WEEKEND. FRIDAY NIGHT WE WENT OUT WITH THE BECTONS (SOME OF GRIFFIN'S FAVORITE PEOPLE). SATURDAY WE HUNG OUT AT THE HOUSE AND MY FRIEND AND LITTLE SISTER FROM COLLEGE DENISE CAME OVER TO SEE THE KIDS. GRIFFIN WAS SHOWING OFF FOR HER AND ATE 3 PIECES OF PIZZA, AND IF YOU KNOW GRIFFIN, YOU KNOW THAT IS A LOT OF FOOD FOR MY GUY! SUNDAY WE WENT TO BRUNCH WITH THE BECTONS AND WENT TO THE PARK. WE HAD A NICE WEEKEND AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO TUESDAY WHEN MY MOM COMES AND THEN THURSDAY WE LEAVE TO GO CALIFORNIA FOR A WEEK. SO I PROBABLY WON'T BE BLOGGING AGAIN UNTIL WE GET BACK.

OH YEAH, WE ARE SO EXCITED BECAUSE I JUST FOUND OUT LAST WEEK THAT ME FRIEND DANIELLE IS COMING TO VISIT US IN THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER FOR A FEW DAYS. I MET DANIELLE WHEN WE WERE ROOMMATES AND FLIGHT ATTENDANTS TOGETHER. WE HAVE ONLY KNOWN EACH OTHER A FEW YEARS BUT IT FEELS LIKE WE HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOREVER! I AM SO EXCITED FOR HER TO COME TO DALLAS. SHE CAME TO SEE US IN BOSTON A FEW TIMES SO NOW WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BLAST HERE- DANI B-CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!

UNTIL NEXT TIME.................

GRIFFIN AND TITI UPDATE

THE KIDDOS PLAYING TOGETHER
TITI PHELPS
GRIFFIN FOR AUNT ANGELA'S B-DAY

OKAY, SO IT HAS BEEN A WEEK SINCE I HAVE LAST POSTED AND REALLY NO EARTH SHATTERING NEWS TO REPORT. WE STARTED SWIM LESSONS LAST WEEKEND AND THAT WAS FUN. GRIFFIN AND TITI WILL BE IN THE SAME CLASS SINCE IT IS AGE 6 MONTHS - 3 YEARS. MOST OF THE KIDS ARE GRIFFIN'S AGE AND SHE IS THE ONLY BABY BUT SHE WAS THE START OF THE POOL. GRIFFIN LOVES THE WATER, DON'T GET ME WRONG BUT WHEN IT COMES TO STRUCTURED SWIM LESSONS- NOT SO MUCH. TITI PHELPS ON THE OTHER HAND WAS STEALING THE SHOW IN THE POOL. THE INSTRUCTORS SAID SHE WAS SO GOOD AND ADVANCED THEY RECOMMENDED HER FOR SOME CLASS WHERE YOU THROW THE BABIES IN AND WATCH THEM FLOAT- WE SHALL SEE. RIGHT NOW WE WILL STICK TO THIS :)

GRIFFIN HAS BEEN GOING TO PRESCHOOL EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY AND HE STILL GETS FUSSY BUT HE IS GETTING BETTER. HE IS JUST SO USED TO BEING WITH ME ALL THE TIME, BUT HE WILL SURVIVE. EVERY TIME I PICK HIM UP FROM SCHOOL WE GO GET CUPCAKES- HE LOVES TO EAT THE FROSTING.

TODAY I HAD PEYTEN'S PLAYGROUP AT OUR HOUSE AND WE HAD SUCH A NICE TIME. IT IS GREAT FOR HER TO BE AROUND BABIES HER OWN AGE.

I AM GOOD, JUST VERY VERY TIRED. I AM MAJORLY LACKING SLEEP, BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO.

NEXT WEEK WE GO TO CALIFORNIA AND I AM SO EXCITED, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN.

NOW ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NOTE- HAS ANYONE SEEN THAT SHOW ON FOX "FRINGE"????? JASON LOVES THAT SHOW. YOU KNOW, IT IS THE ONE WITH JOSHUA JACKSON, HE PLAYED PACEY ON DAWSON'S CREEK. THAT SHOW IS SO BIZARRE. IT'S LIKE I WANT TO TURN MY HEAD AND NOT WATCH BUT I CAN'T HELP MYSELF BUT WATCH. IT IS CRAZY. ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS???

UNTIL NEXT TIME.............

WEEKEND WRAP UP 2

THE KIDDOS
TITI EATING SONIC MILK SHAKE
FRIDAY LUNCH WITH ASHLEY AND KRISTIN
EVENING WALK
ELMO TIME AT THE GYM (griffin is in left corner wearing black shirt)

SO IT IS SUNDAY NIGHT AND I FIGURED I WOULD DO A QUICK BLOG. WE HAD A PRETTY LAID BACK WEEKEND. WE KICKED OFF THE WEEKEND BY HAVING LUNCH WITH FRIENDS ON FRIDAY THEN THAT NIGHT WE TOOK THE KIDS TO WINGSTOP.

WE WOKE UP SATURDAY AND BOTH KIDDOS HAD A LITTLE COLD. SO WE REALLY JUST LAID LOW ON SATURDAY AND RAN SOME ERRANDS....

SUNDAY THEY WERE FEELING BETTER SO WE TOOK THE RUG RATS TO SEE ELMO THEN RAN SOME MORE ERRANDS, HAD LUNCH AND PLAYED WITH THE KIDS.

I HAVE A FEELING THAT NEXT WEEKEND WILL BE MORE EVENTFUL. HOPEFULLY THE KIDS WILL BE BACK TO THEMSELVES TOMORROW.

THIS WEEK WE GET BACK TO OUR USUAL ROUTINE OF PRESCHOOL, SPEECH THERAPY, PLAY GROUPS FOR BOTH KIDS AND LOTS OF RUNNING AROUND.

UNTIL NEXT TIME.............

WEEKEND WRAP UP

SO NOT TOO MUCH TO REPORT ON.....

GRIFFIN SURVIVED PRESCHOOL ON THURSDAY ALTHOUGH THERE WAS MORE CRYING INVOLVED BUT HE MADE IT THROUGH THE DAY. I AM HOPING THAT TOMORROW WILL BE A GOOD DAY.

JASON ONLY HAD TO WORK 1 /2 DAY ON FRIDAY SO THE FAMILY RAN SOME ERRANDS AND THEN WENT SWIMMING THAT EVENING AND HAD DINNER. PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING ON SATURDAY TOO. SUNDAY I HAD BRUNCH WITH A FRIEND OF MINE AND THEN OF COURSE THE FAM WENT SWIMMING THAT NIGHT AGAIN :) TODAY WE JOINED THE FRISCO ATHLETIC CENTER SO THE KIDDOS CAN START SWIM LESSONS. SO WE WENT TO THE POOL AGAIN TODAY :) YEP, YOU COULD SAY WE LIKE TO SWIM :)

OTHER THAN THAT, NOT MUCH ELSE GOING ON. OH YEAH, GRIFFIN IS OBSESSED WITH TACOS... HE LOVES TO SAY TACOS, EAT TACOS AND GO TO TACO BELL AND HE LOVES TO SAY TACO BELL- IT REALLY IS CUTE. HIS LATEST TACO FIX IS CALLING SISSY- " TITI TACO" HE CAN'T SAY SISSY SO HE SAYS TITI AND NOW HE CALLS HER TITI TACO- I MEAN SERIOUSLY- IS THAT NOT THE CUTEST THING EVER!

ALSO... I AM SO EXCITED THAT TONIGHT THERE ARE ALL NEW EPISODES OF GOSSIP GIRL, ONE TREE HILL ( SO EXCITED ABOUT OTH) AND THE HILLS....AND DRUM ROLL PLEASE............... TOMORROW............

90210 2.0 I AM SO EXCITED. THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW ME, KNOW I AM OBSESSED WITH 90210. SERIOUSLY. I AM NOT SO EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL CAST, BUT I AM SO LOVING THAT BRENDA AND KELLY ARE BACK!!!! I ONLY WISH THAT MORE CAST MEMBERS FROM THE ORIGINAL WOULD COME BACK THEN WE COULD SLOWLY PHASE OUT THE NEW KIDS AND FOCUS ON THE LIVES OF THE ORIGINAL GANG!!! ONE CAN HOPE RIGHT!

UNTIL NEXT TIME...................

LITTLE BIG MAN

SO YESTERDAY GRIFFIN HAD HIS FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL AND HE DID GREAT! I WAS SO NERVOUS THAT HE WAS GOING TO CRY NONSTOP AND THEY WERE GOING TO SEND HIM HOME, BUT HE WAS A TROOPER. HE ARRIVED AT SCHOOL AND IMMEDIATELY WENT TO PLAY. HE READ BOOKS, SANG SONGS, ATE LUNCH, PLAYED OUTSIDE, PLAYED WITH THE TOYS AND DID A BIBLE STORY. THEN WHEN I WENT TO PICK HIM UP HE RAN STRAIGHT TO MY ARMS AND GAVE ME A KISS. THEN I TOOK HIM TO GET CUPCAKES ( I PROMISED HIM IF HE WAS A GOOD BOY THAT AFTER SCHOOL WE WOULD GET CUPCAKES) . SO, I MAY HAVE TO GET HIM ANOTHER ONE TOMORROW. HE GOES TO PRESCHOOL FROM 8:30- 2:30 SO IT IS A BIG DAY FOR HIM. WISH US LUCK TOMORROW.

HERE'S SOME PICS OF MY LITTLE SISSY PIPSQUEAK- SHE LOOKS LIKE TINKERBELL :)

UNTIL NEXT TIME.............

DALLAS UPDATE

GRIFFIN IS ACTUALLY EATING
THE KIDDOS PLAYING
KIM IS SO EXCITED TO BE AT GATTI TOWN
ME AND SISSY AT PAPPASITOS
ME AND KIM AT SAMBUCA
DENISE AND STARA AT SAMBUCA

GRIFFIN AND PAPA AT THE POOL

SO NOTHING TOO EXCITING TO POST ABOUT, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD JUST FILL YOU ALL IN ON WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE MY LAST POST.

THE KIDS ARE GOOD. SISSY WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND HAD HER 6 MONTH CHECKUP AND SHE IS PERFECT AND A TINY PEANUT. SHE WEIGHS IN AT 14 POUNDS AND IS IN THE 20TH PERCENTILE :) SHE IS BUSY ROLLING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND SHE IS SO ALERT TO EVERYTHING AROUND HER. SHE LOVES TO SMILE AND GIGGLE AT EVERYONE AROUND HER, ESPECIALLY GRIFFIN. WE HAVE JOINED A MOMS GROUP IN FRISCO AND I HAVE JOINED THE BOARD AS PLAYGROUP COORDINATOR FOR BABIES. THIS WAY WHEN GRIFFIN IS AT PRESCHOOL 2 DAYS A WEEK SISSY POOH CAN MAKE SOME FRIENDS OF HER OWN :)

GRIFFIN IS DOING WELL. HE STARTS PRESCHOOL NEXT WEEK AND I AM PRAYING THAT EVERYTHING GOES OKAY. HE IS SO CLINGY TO ME I AM HOPING HE WON'T CRY AND FUSS WHEN I LEAVE HIM- WE SHALL SEE, SO PLEASE KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED. GRIFFIN WILL ALSO BE TAKING CLASSES AT THE LOCAL TUMBLE GYM AS WELL ONCE A WEEK, SO MY GOAL IS FOR HIM TO GET REALLY TIRED ON THAT DAY AND TAKE A REALLY LONG NAP :) OH YEAH, AND WE HAVE BEEN PRACTICING USING THE BIG BOY POTTY. WE DONT USE IT ALL THE TIME BUT MY HOPE IS THAT ONCE HE GOES TO PRESCHOOL THAT WILL HELP AS WELL. SO FAR HE HAS MADE POO POO 3 TIMES IN THE BIG BOY POTTY :) AND EVERY NIGHT BEFORE BATH HE GOES PEE PEE (WAY TO GO GRIFFIN).

MY MOM AND DAD CAME TO TOWN LAST WEEK TO HELP OUT SINCE JASON WAS OUT OF TOWN FOR WORK. ACTUALLY, HIS COMPANY TOOK EVERYONE TO PUERTO RICO (I AM GUESSING THEY DIDN'T GET MUCH WORK DONE THERE). GRIFFIN AND SISSY LOVE IT WHEN MY MOM AND DAD COME TO VISIT B/C THEY GET SPOILED NONSTOP. MY DAD HAD TO CUT HIS TRIP SHORT THOUGH AND LEAVE ON SATURDAY DUE TO THE STORM FAYE. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO GET THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA INSTEAD OF THE EAST WHERE MY MOM AND DAD LIVE. MY MOM IS STAYING UNTIL FRIDAY MORNING TO HELP ME OUT THIS WEEK SINCE WE DONT HAVE A BABYSITTER HERE YET AND I HAVE A DINNER ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT, PRESCHOOL NITE THURSDAY AND MEET THE TEACHER FRIDAY AM. SO IT IS A BIG BIG HELP TO HAVE HER HERE. I GUESS I NEED TO FIND A REGULAR BABYSITTER FOR THE KIDDOS :)

SO OTHER THAN THAT NOT MUCH TO REPORT. I LOVE BEING BACK IN TEXAS AND SEEING ALL OF MY FRIENDS- IT HAS BEEN GREAT! BUT WE DO MISS OUR PALS BACK IN BOSTON, BUT I AM NOT GOING TO MISS THE WINTER THIS YEAR :) WELL, THAT ABOUT WRAPS IT UP.......

UNTIL NEXT TIME...............

THEY ARE GETTING SO BIG AND I LOVE TO WATCH THEM GROW. WE GO TO DALLAS IN ONE WEEK AND I AM SURE IT WILL TAKE GRIFFIN SOME TIME TO GET ADJUSTED BUT HOPEFULLY HE WILL BE FINE. EVERYDAY HE ASKS ABOUT HIS OLD NEIGHBORS, HE MISSES THEM SO MUCH. SO I PLAN ON GETTING HIM INVOLVED IN NEW ACTIVITES SO HE WILL MAKE NEW FRIENDS ASAP. WELL, I AM SURE I WILL UPDATE YOU WITH MORE LATER FROM FLORIDA. UNTIL NEXT TIME..........

IT'S ALL ABOUT ME!

SO, WHEN I STARTED THIS BLOG IT WAS MEANT TO BE ABOUT ME, THE KIDS, EVERYTHING, AND IT SEEMS I HAVE TURNED IN TO ONE OF "THOSE" MOMS. YEP EVERY POST SEEMS TO BE ABOUT MY KIDS. I LOVE MY KIDS, DON'T GET ME WRONG, BUT IT SEEMS LATELY THEY A RE ALL I TALK ABOUT OR DO SO I DECIDED TO DO A POST ABOUT ME (SORRY MOM, I KNOW YOU LOVE BABY BLOGS). I FEEL AS THOUGH PEOPLE ARE LIKE, YOU KNOW ARIELE, GRIFFIN AND PEYTEN'S MOM. YES, I AM A MOM, BUT I AM ALSO A WIFE, A DAUGHTER AND SO MUCH MORE AND I THINK SOMETIMES I FORGET ABOUT ME. IN THE PAST 2 1/2 YEARS I HAVE ONLY BEEN AWAY FROM MY KIDS 3 NIGHTS. YEP IN 2 1/2 YEARS I HAVE ONLY BEEN AWAY 3 NIGHTS, AND THAT'S NOT EVEN 3 CONSECUTIVE NIGHTS. I AM IN MUCH NEED OF SOME ME TIME. SO HOPEFULLY ONCE WE GET TO D-TOWN, I WILL HAVE A SOCIAL LIVE AGAIN. I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE MY HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS, COLLEGE FRIENDS AND FRIENDS FROM MY ADULT LIFE. I AM EVEN EXCITED TO SEE SOME OF JASON'S FRIENDS :) NOW, IF ONLY MY PARENTS LIVED THERE IT WOULD BE PERFECT. NOW I JUST NEED TO FIND A GREAT BABYSITTER CLOSE BY AND WE ARE ALL SET. SO EVERYBODY, START THINKING OF THINGS FOR US TO GET TOGETHER DO :)

WELL, GOTTA GET BACK TO PACKING SO HOPEFULLY I WILL GET ONE MORE BLOG DONE BEFORE WE MOVE. THIS WEEKEND, WE ARE GOING TO A GOODBYE PARTY ON OUR STREET AND THEM WE MOVE MONDAY AND TUESDAY. TUESDAY NIGHT WE ARE GOING TO BE STAYING IN DOWNTOWN BOSTON AND WEDNESDAY WE ARE GOING TO SPEND THE DAY DOWNTOWN AND THEN THURSDAY WE LEAVE FOR FLORIDA. SO HOPEFULLY I WILL GET A BLOG DONE IN ALL THAT TIME. IF NOT I PROMISE TO POST FROM FLORIDA BEFORE DALLAS.

LOVE YOU ALL!

UNTIL NEXT TIME................

BYE BYE BOSTON, HELLO DALLAS!

SO MY MOM HAS BEEN ASKING ME WHEN I AM GOING TO DO ANOTHER BLOG SO HERE IT IS, BUT I NEED TO MAKE IT QUICK B/C BOTH KIDS ARE NAPPING AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!! SO I NEED TO GET TO PACKING.

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING ME ARE YOU GOING TO MISS BOSTON AT ALL. WELL.....

OF COURSE I AM GOING TO MISS BOSTON. I WOULD BE CRAZY NOT TO MISS THIS PLACE. IT IS BEAUTIFUL. NEW ENGLAND HAS SO MUCH TO OFFER. DOWNTOWN BOSTON IS GREAT, THE TOWN THAT WE LIVE IN IS GREAT, AND WE ARE SO CLOSE TO NEW HAMPSHIRE AND MAINE. I AM GOING TO MISS THE GREAT FOOD. I AM NOW A LOBSTER LOVER FOR LIFE! I AM GOING TO MISS OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS- GRIFFIN LOVES THOSE KIDS AND THEY LOVE GRIFFIN. I AM REALLY GOING TO MISS OUR FRIENDS BRIAN AND STEPHANIE. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! YOU MADE LIVING HERE SO MUCH BETTER. I REALLY HOPE THAT WE CONTINUE OUR FRIENDSHIP! YOU GUYS ROCK!

THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO RAISE A FAMILY.....BUT THAT IS JUST IT, WE DON'T HAVE THAT MANY FRIENDS HERE AND WE HAVE 0 FAMILY. DALLAS HAS ALL OUR FRIENDS THERE AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EVERYBODY. AT THIS POINT IN OUR LIFE, I THINK IT IS GREAT TO HAVE A SUPPORT SYSTEM AND DALLAS HAS THAT....AND...THEY HAVE GREAT MEXICAN FOOD AND BBQ!!!!!

IT IS BITTERSWEET. I WILL MISS BOSTON, NO DOUBT, BUT I AM ALSO EAGER TO GET BACK TO DALLAS!

I LOVE YOU ALL!

DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS

WELL, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T ALREADY KNOW...................

WE ARE MOVING BACK TO DALLAS. THAT'S RIGHT!!!!! JASON HAS TAKEN A NEW JOB IN DALLAS AND STARTS IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY SO WE WILL BE BACK ASAP! WE ARE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AGAIN! CAN'T WAIT! IT WILL BE TOUGH AT FIRST BUT ONCE WE SELL OUR HOUSE HERE, WE PLAN ON BUYING A HOUSE THERE. SO THOSE OF YOU IN DALLAS, ANY INFO ON GOOD LOCATIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. GOOD THING I KEPT MY DALLAS CELL PHONE NUMBER!

SO NANA AND PAPA, LOOKS LIKE YOU WILL BE COMING TO THE BIG D NOW INSTEAD OF BOSTON.

WE WILL MISS THE FRIENDS THAT WE MADE HERE(STEPH AND BRIAN). WE HAD A GREAT 3 YEARS BUT NOW IT IS TIME FOR US TO GET TO DALLAS AND RAISE OUR FAMILY!
