Ravioli Catastrophe!!!!

Corgan loves Ravioli's! We'll just have to wait to give them to him until right before his bath!!!!!

Long time no write...

I have been horrendous about keeping my blog up to date. Hate to disappoint my fan base. J/K! Things have been crazy (like that's any different than usual!) and Corgan has been fabulous! We fixed the fireplace so he shouldn't (HOPEFULLY) whack his head on it again. We put some nice pillows on it and he loves to sit up there and relax.





He doesn't even try to take the pillows off and they add more seating in our living room. Thanks Mom!!!! Great idea!

This week I went to an aerobics convention down in downtown Dallas. I stayed at the Fairmont Hotel, which was very snazzy, and Mom came down and watched Corgan. He did great with her, but I really missed him and Travis. I was there from Tuesday night to this morning! LONG convention!!!! It was so awesome! I was able to meet a lot of the aerobics instructors that I watch on video and really admire. They were so down to earth. I really got to know Gay Gasper since I was a staff assistant at her workshops all day Wednesday and Thursday. I also got to meet Mindy Mylrea, Keli Roberts, Douglas Brooks, Sara Kooperman, the list goes on and on. It really won't mean anything to anyone who doesn't do workout videos but it was an awesome opportunity!!! I'm definitely going to try to go back next year, but it's going to take some real scheduling on my part with me having a new baby and breastfeeding. I told mom she could come and stay with me at the hotel and I could come up between sessions and feed the baby, but Corgan would go NUTS in a hotel room.

Travis and Corgan went to the Rangers game last night with Danielle, David and Evan. They had a really good time! Travis said he ate a ton of cotton candy and had fun, except of the ride home. Apparently he was an enormous monster and screamed the whole way home! Glad I wasn't there for that!!!

My parent's 40th anniversary is coming up so the family got together and had a surprise dinner for them at a really great Italian place in Hurst. Great food and it was a lot of fun. I wish Corgan and Travis could have been there but they had fun at the ballgame!

Travis and Corgan spent the night with me at the hotel last night and we went together to Eric's blessing in Ft. Worth. He is such a cutie patootie and he is getting chunky! Everyone was there and it is always so nice to have the whole family together. It is so neat that we all get along and have fun together! After sacrament meeting we went over to Aaron and Tammie's for brunch. When we came home Corgan and I crashed for about three and a half hours. IT WAS WONDERFUL. I am such a nap taker.

Tomorrow I have a 6 am class and then playgroup. I'll take pics of the playgroup and start updating my blog more often. I'm such a lazy butt.

Vacation Weekend

Well, to get you all up to speed, this weekend Travis bought me a vacation weekend!!!! He got me a room at the Richardson Hotel, very shnazzy, and I got the whole weekend off while he took over Corgan duty! What an AWESOME husband! He's the best! Of course, on Friday night I couldn't sleep because I kept dreaming that Corgan was crying and I also had a really sore throat. But, it was wonderful to have an entire bed to myself and have some QUIET! The tv wasn't going, the phone didn't ring, there was no kid screaming, "na na!!!" It was amazing. Of course on Saturday I missed my boys so much that I had to have them come visit me, but only for about an hour. I felt like such crap that I just ate some chicken noodle soup and went to bed, sleeping in until about 11 on Sunday morning!!

I came home on Sunday to change for church and Travis was still home. I was wondering why the heck he wasn't at church and he said he and Corgan got stuck in the laundry room while he was ironing a shirt! The doorknob had broken off and he was stuck in there for over an HOUR! He had to break the door in order to get out! I was cracking up!!!! I wish I'd been there!

I've been taking it really easy this week since I've felt really really awful and can't take ANYTHING because I'm pregnant. I didn't have any classes scheduled this week and that really turned out to be a blessing. I needed to take it easy.

Today Corgan and I played with Tommy Elhert. He came over because his mommy was working and his daddy had to go take a test. Corgan had so much fun and Tommy was a real sweetie. He and Corgan kept hugging and Tommy would say to me, "I love you!" How dang sweet is that?

Pictures Update!!!

Just minutes post fireplace fiasco....

CPS Here we come....

I am probably one of the most horrible mothers on the face of the planet. Well, maybe not THAT bad, but at least the worst on my block. Aside from Crazy Drunk Lady. She's probably worse. Ok, I'm the worst mom in my house. There. On Thursday, Corgan fell and banged his head on the fireplace. THE FIREPLACE!!!! We'd put those foam bumpers on them and he kept ripping them off so we gave up. He's done really well with the fireplace and then... BAM!!! I thought I was going to pass out or throw up or both. He has a HUGE knot between his eyes. He looks like a baby unicorn working on it's horn. I felt awful. The doctor's office said that we should only be concerned if he acted dizzy, lethargic, was knocked unconcious (well, duh...) or was throwing up, so I watched him like a hawk and he started running around like a loon, so I figured he was ok. I'll have to post the pictures later.

THEN, the Bryans came with us to Dave and Busters. While the guys were playing video games, Danielle and I took Corgan and Evan to Barnes and Noble to look at books. Corgan was playing contentedly with the train set they had there so I said to Danielle, "I'm going to look over here for a book." What I failed to say was, "Can you watch Corgan while I'm gone?" She thought Corgan was with me, I thought Corgan was with her, I get back ten minutes later and he's GONE. Danielle and I started to panic, the Barnes and Noble people called "Code Adam" and started to shut down the store. Then we hear him call "Na Na!" He was just running around looking for me. There my poor boy is with an enormous knot on his head walking around looking for his mommy. So, not only do I look like I abuse my child, but now I look like I'm neglectful.

Crappy, crappy day.
