Not Me...Mondays

So, my friend, Lindsey, has started doing this and I decided to give it a shot. Every Monday, I, along with many other moms, get to take a "time out" to be brutally honest. Sounds fun, right? We'll see...

Just thinking back on this past week, I can think of so much to be thankful for with Thanksgiving approaching. Number one...I'm so incredibly thankful for God blessing Justin and I with an amazing little boy. (who by the way, cracks us up every single day) I can't even imagine life without him. But, I did not have a sigh of relief when Justin came home from work tonight and said HE would take care of Jarrett's breathing treatment tonight.

I also did not allow Jarrett to brush his teeth in the tub and continue to dip his toothbrush into his bath water only to put it back in his mouth. Did you say diaper changes? Oh yes, I definitely did not let Jarrett rub his hands in the diaper cream already applied!

And our poor dogs, I most definitely didn't watch Jarrett sit on Taylor and hop up and down because he thought she was a horse. And I did not see her pitiful eyes telling me to please make him stop.

Cleaning up dinner while daddy isn't home. Oh yes, I did not leave Jarrett in his high chair to keep him contained after dinner so I could clean the kitchen! I would have loved to chase him back and forth and to and from the dog water while trying to clean the kitchen!

To be continued....Next Monday (if I remember)

Welcome Darrin!

This past weekend we traveled up to Berrien Springs, MI to visit our friends Doug and Sarah. Sarah recently gave birth to little Darrin as I mentioned in a previous post, so we wanted to make our way up there and meet him! Jarrett and Alex had a great time playing together and we had a great time catching up with Doug and Sarah.

Jarrett and Alex decided to play IN the toy box....Look at that big cheeser!

Also, on Friday before heading up to Michigan, we stopped by St. Vincent's hospital in Indy to visit our very good friend Morgan, who is in there with pancreatitis (sp?) She is getting much better and we are so thankful for that and for the wonderful doctors down at St. V's! We can't wait for Morgan to come home to her precious baby girl, Layla! Get better soon, Morg! We love ya!

The Last one tonight...I promise

We've had a busy fun filled weekend!

On Saturday while we were up visiting Aunt Crystal and Uncle Cameron, my great friend from college, Kelly, had her beautiful baby girl, Khloe Marie Goble! Weighing in at 8lbs 2oz, Khloe made her entrance at 12:51pm on Saturday. Jarrett wasn't able to visit her today because he is awful snotty, but Justin and I went to meet her. She is so sweet! I'm sure her and Jarrett will be great friends that cause an awful lot of trouble! Congrats Kelly and Jeff.



Also, Justin's great friend from college, Doug and his wife Sarah welcomed their second little boy today around 3pm. Weighing in at 9lbs. 15oz...Sarah is my hero!!!! Baby O'dell doesn't have a name yet, but will soon. We are going to visit this weekend, so we will have to re-introduce him to you all. Big brother Alex (2yrs) will have plenty to teach his little brother.




Just wanted to post a couple pics of how excited Jarrett is to meet his new friends


Yes, he still has his tattoo!

Monster Golf!

On Saturday, we decided to make the trip up to Lafayette to see Aunt Crystal and Uncle Cameron. We went Monster Golfing, which is miniature golf in black lights! So fun! They also had animated monsters, dragons, etc. Jarrett had a big time!

Jarrett even got his own golf club

Picking the goblin's nose

Future brain surgeon?

Doing the chicken dance with Aunt Crystal

He also got his first tattoo!

Don't worry, it's not real!! :)

We had a ROARING Halloween

Well, this was actually Jarrett's second Halloween, but considering he was only a little over a month old last year, we had a little more fun this year. He dressed up as a fierocious lion!

Trick or treating started on Thursday night for us. We attended a local church's Trunk or Treat with Aunt Kristy and the kids.

Will dressed up as an Imagination Mover from the Disney Channel. He thought Jarrett needed to wear his cowboy hat.

Grandpa Robbins made a surprise visit from Tennessee. He went Trunk or Treating with all of us.

Jarrett got a little fussy because he was so tired, but it was nothing a sucker couldn't heal.
