Ta da!

Okay, the bloggy is now private. Hopefully you figured out what to do, ha ha! All I had to do was invite you through your email...so I'm not sure what other steps you had to take after that. :)

Gonna work on some more elaborate posts for you, lol!

Tomorrow is Maverick's first Halloween, yay! Hopefully he will like wearing his costume more than he did today. I put it on him to get him more used to wearing it, and he did not like it!!! I have a feeling it's going to be on barely long enough to get some pictures of him tomorrow.

Halloween is also my mother-in-law's birthday! So we're gonna take Mav to a couple houses in our neighborhood, then go over to Robbie's parents' house and celebrate Patty's birthday. What a fun day to have your birthday on!

Wow!

I never thought that anyone would be very interested in my ramblings and going-ons about our lives, lol! It's very humbling to know that I have friends who like to read my blog. Now I've been inspired to keep it going! Privately, of course. :)

With that said, I haven't set anything up yet. Obviously, ha ha! Everyone who has contacted me thus far will be given the info once its available.

Even though almost all the pictures I post on here are usually posted on Facebook as well, blogger is a great way to elaborate on the stories behind them.

Thank you everyone for enjoying our family memories with us! :)

It's been awhile

I've been in sort of a contemplative mood lately about this blog--inspired from a random quote I heard on tv. (hence the lack of motivation to post, sorry)

What's funny is I can't remember who said it. The blurb was something along the lines of: "Our children are going to have to work hard to erase their pasts because their parents published every little move they made on the internet."

Silly, I know. But it got me thinking. Mostly about the fact that I don't know who reads this blog, so that freaks me out a little.

You never know if there are creepy creepers out there. So I'm really thinking for the first time in 2+ years of going private with this blog. (which means you can only see this website if I invite you) Not that there are hundreds, or heck, even more than 5 people that read this blog. But I just want the best for my family.

So there, I think it's officially decided. I'm gonna go private with this blog in about a week. I figure that's a good time frame, ha ha!

To my loyal readers:

If you'd like to be invited to view this site, please let me know in person, email, or Facebook. If you don't know me through one of those avenues...then I probably don't know you, lol! But you can leave a comment if you'd like to be included. And don't be afraid to ask. When some other blogs I used to read suddenly went private, I was too embarrassed to ask, and I wished I had spoken up!!!

I just want to make sure you aren't a creepy creeper, ha ha!

In the meantime, enjoy some more photos! :)


All the buzz around here this past week is the new addition to our family. We've been shopping for a new vehicle for almost a year, and I'm so glad to be done! It's exciting for us because neither one of us has never owned a vehicle so new or fancy before. It's a 2008 Jeep Liberty Limited, with the SkySlider roof. We love having 2 Jeeps in our garage. The other one is a 2001 Jeep (NOT Grand) Cherokee. :) We have been blessed!



Lately when I feel something on my leg, this is what I look down and see. I love it!


Of the gazillions of photos I have of Maverick, I only have a couple handfulls of me and him. Makes me sad, but we're usually without a photographer. lol! I have to attempt photos taken in the bathroom mirror. :)


This is our ferocious wolf beast. Okay, its just our dog Belle. Yawning. In a shadow.


And finally, this wonderful face. Gummy grin and all. It seems like it is taking an eternity to get any more teeth. He popped the 2 bottom teeth up in about a week, but that was all the way back in August. His top 2 teeth are literally bulging at the surface but refuse to go any further apparently.

Those better come in so he can eat birthday cake in a little over a month. :)

Holy guacamole on crackers!!! Can you BELIEVE it's been almost a year????!!!!
My heart swells to think about it.

You know you don't want to miss the FIRST birthday fun, so ask to be invited to read the blog today! :)

Costume preview

Here is a preview of Mav's first Halloween costume!



At first he LOVED wearing it. But that lasted a whole 6 minutes. I think only having a diaper on underneath made it a little scratchy. After that he wanted it OFF!

He rolled around crying on the floor until I took it off him.



Mavzilla destroying the countryside!!



Still not sure how we're gonna do Halloween. I figure we'll either "walk" around the neighborhood with him, or find some sort of public event to attend.

I've always felt kinda weird handing out candy to adults holding their babies (who obviously are not going to reap the benefit of being lugged around the block in an uncomfortable costume...but isn't that what kids are for?)

Gotta enjoy the candy stash now before it becomes harder to steal from their candy buckets. :)

I remember knowing if anyone had stolen anything out of my Halloween candy bucket. I had that thing inventoried and secured before getting back to the house!


I also wanted to post some pics on here for my dad (after all he is my most loyal reader). He bought Maverick the cutest hat ever that says "Lil' Buck". I took Mav to the park while he wore it, and 4 or 5 people stopped to say how cute his hat was. (I'd like to think it may have something to do with the kid wearing it, ha ha!)



He'll only actually wear it if we are outside and the scenery distracts him.



Otherwise he loves to play the "I'm gonna pull it off!!" game. Which is fun too!



I bet grandpa can't wait to take him out to the farm. :)
