Snapchat

Candor and I are obsessed with Snapchat.  Total time suck.

Momma Needs a New Car!

Since Candor is so obsessed with cars, Todd decided to quit Hewlett Packard after 9 years and take a position at General Motors.  This is a great move for us all! Last Day at HP: Todd's team at HP threw him a going away party on his last day.  His team members from Georgia, Ireland, Galway and Singapore skyped into the party. Todd's new team at GM is all based in Austin.  This means no late night / early morning phone calls from people in different states and countries and more time spent with me and Candor. First Day of GM: His new position also comes with a brand new free car for him every year!  This includes gas, insurance, car washes, oil changes, really anything and everything.  Goodbye Ruth (Todd's Subaru) Hello Veronica (Todd's new 2016 Buick Verano). I also get (have to purchase - but is discounted) a brand new car every 4 years!  I am use to getting a car and driving it till the wheels fall off so this is crazy...

Father's Day 2016

Candor made sure all the special men in his life had a wonderful Father's Day by making them all art. PaPa's art: Poppy's art: Todd's art: On Father's Day morning Candor made Todd egg's benedict. After breakfast Candor gave Todd the art he made for him. We then headed to church.  Candor was sure proud to take some pictures with his dada. We then spent the afternoon at the splash pad.  It was a great day!

GUB

GUB passed away on Sunday, May 8.  I think about him daily and miss him terribly.  Especially his jokes, laughs and how he could make you feel so special.  I met so many of GUB and AJ's friends at his funeral and they all said the same.  He was the best. I will end this post with some of GUB's final words. Go and do while you still can. These are great words to live by and I hope Candor will remember this statement and always live life to the fullest.  Just like GUB. We love you GUB.  Until we meet again..

Frog No More

Our little boy graduated from the frog class!  He has had such a wonderful year with Ms. Maggie, Ms. Lauris, Ms. Margaret, and all his friends at Hilcrest Baptist Church. We made Maggie, Lauris, and Margaret mason jars with succulents for their end of the school year gift.  Candor was a big fan of playing in the soil. Candor and I wrote them each a note.  I did the purple scribble and Candor did the writing.  Boy Genius. :) We tried to recreate the first day of school on the last day of school.  I cannot believe how much he has grown in just 9 months.  First Day and Last Day Wake Up: First Day and Last Day Chalkboard Pictures: First and Last Day Backpack Picture: First and Last Day Selfie: On the last day Candor was able to walk into school with Todd unlike the first day when he couldn't even walk! After school we celebrated by going to Phil's Ice House for french fries and to play on the playgroun...

22 Months

Our little muffin is now 22 months old!  He is the sweetest thing ever. He loves being with me alone or Todd alone but he is the happiest when we are all three together. If him and I start to go somewhere without Todd he will run to Todd and say 'dada dada dada', grab his hand and walk him to me. He will do the same to me except say 'momma, momma, momma' if him and Todd start to go somewhere without me. He does this when actually going somewhere or if we are even in separate rooms in the house.  He has a new love for 'Puppy'. One of Todds friends, Mark, got this for him for his first birthday. He didn't really pay him much notice until the past month or so. Now at night during his stories he will sit in our lap and hug Puppy. He also loves to cuddle him when he sleeps.  He still loves his little car that he got when he was 10 months old. I don't let him take it out often because he likes to drag his shoes on the road while we are walking and I don't ...
