Should We go Private?

I was thinking about this a while ago, but haven't for a while. But, a friend is making her blog private and it made me think about it again.

There are alot of crazies, especially on the internet. Since we post pictures of our family, especially the boy, maybe it is a good idea to go private?

Thoughts?

DING DING DING. In the Blue Corner...

Weighing in at 14.5 pounds....it's OWEN PARKER TIDMORE!!!!!!

He is so cute in his tiny bath robe. Love it.

Well, this will be another post with MANY pictures. So, you can either take it in doses, one large dose, or not at all. :-) Up to you.

Here is the hat series:


Owen's first boo-boo (he crawl/scooted himself into the wall) He is fine, by the way.


His favorite thing to do on the changing table: (don't worry, we were standing very close by)


We went to a family reunion and Owen met my brother and his wife for the first time. I also got a pic of my Grandma in a silly 4th of July hat.

That is Owen's cousin Will in Wendy's belly.

Sorry Nana, had to do it! :-)

This is the "No pictures please!" series:


Owen started eating Avocado last Friday!! He LOVES it!! We started him on Peas yesterday, but he isn't a big fan of those so far. (no pics of the peas, only the avocado!)




Also this week was Owen's first time to sit in the shopping cart at the grocery store!


I made diaper cake for Wendy's baby shower! My 3rd one!

Stay tuned for a few videos coming soon!!!

Side Note: PLEASE PLEASE pray that Travis finds a job soon!! Thanks!

WWWWWWIPEOUT!!!!!

I just have to give a shout out to my college roommate Ronni. She WAS ON WIPEOUT!!! It was hilarious to watch the little bits they showed of her. Way to go Ronni. What a sport you are for agreeing to do those crazy, and I'm guessing painful, things! Although, I am not sure that you knew exactly what you were getting yourself into.

So much to say...

WARNING: A BILLION pictures ahead...keep going at your own risk.

So, Owen is 5 months old!!! Can you believe it??? I can't. It's crazy. But, he gets cuter and more fun every single day!!

Speaking of Owen, he sure did poop in the bath tonight!! YUCK!!! I just held him there, dangling in the tub as I tried to figure out what to do. But, lucky for me, Daddy swooped in to save the day. I took the poopy boy to his room and got him ready for bed, and HE cleaned up the poopy mess!! :-) Hooray! Lucky for you, I did NOT take pictures of this.

We started Owen on cereal a few days ago. He LOVES eating from a spoon like mommy and daddy. And he is super cute doing it. Of course we captured his first "meal" in pictures.

Owen getting read for his cereal.

His first bite.


"What is this??"

"Hi dad, I'm having some cereal."

"I'm done!"

We also FINALLY finished Owen's room. Holy cow, that was an undertaking. Ask me if I would do it again. Can you guess what my answer would be??

We went to a family reunion and Owen met lots of people. I didn't take very many pictures, but here are a couple I got.

Owen and Papa.

Owen and cousin Jake.

We had a baby shower here at our house! It was fun! I made a SUPER cute diaper cake!!

Ok...do you want to know what makes me happy?? The fact that someone decided to make these two shows:



Seriously...these two shows are beyond hilarious. I was rolling on the floor laughing.

I'm behind...

Catching up on reading blogs today, I noticed that Kelli tagged me on June 1st. Yeah, it has been that long since I read other people's blogs.

So, I will humor her and I guess put 6 things about myself.

(a new post with new pictures coming soon)

1. I love living in a house now. LOVE it. The only thing is...4 bedrooms to clean instead of 2, 2 bathrooms instead of 1, a laundry room, big living room, dining room, and kitchen. AGHHHH! The cleaning never ends. Why does it stress me out so?

2. I am very glad to be back in Texas and I just LOVE Austin. There is so much to do and so many fun people.

3. I have recently started watching "John and Kate plus 8" on TLC. Wow. 8 kids. All under 7 years old. YIKES!! Sometimes it stresses me out to watch it (hmm...do you see a pattern here??)- but it is so entertaining. I have much less on my plate than they do, and that makes me feel better. :-)

4. Things going through my head right now: I really need to finish painting Owen's polka dot wall. I need to make that diaper cake ASAP. I should probably think about making lunch. When does the laundry end? I need to go to Babies R Us. I need to fix my hair and get dressed. My son is so cute. Why can't I get him to take a nap? I need to join Weight Watchers. I have a headache.

5. I like watching "10 years younger" and "What not to wear".

6. My friend Hannah should be having a new baby very soon. I wish I was going to be in Cali to see her.

Ok, I tag Jennifer, Rebecca, and Brandy.

Dang...

I have a CUTE kid. (scroll down to see pics of my paci holders!!)




Here are a few of the pacifier holders I have made :-)
