Fun Game

I saw this on Brandy's blog and thought I would copy her....just for fun. I found some pretty interesting things.

Instructions: Google your "first name" and "needs" and post the first six that come up.So I googled. This is what I got...

1. Candice needs our help.
2. Candice needs to die. (yea this one is real)
3. Candice needs to brace herself for the future (is someone trying to tell me something?)
4. Candice needs a BFF
5. Candice needs a serious push.....

All of mine were so sad...is God trying to tell me something? I got kind of weirded out! ha. Now when I googled my name only I got lots of porn sights. Obviously a girl named "Candice Michelle" is a porn star. Coincidentally my middle name is Michelle. I have been a porn star all this time and didn't know it! So I quickly had to close the page because I was at work and didn't want anyone thinking I was looking at porn! Candice is also a WWE Raw superstar. So I got some really funny things searching my name. Brandy was right...it is funny. You should try it. Come on you know you want too....

Another thing....has anyone noticed how my son looks nothing like me in the picture above? I mean nothing.......his eyes, nose, face shape, nothing....just a little observation there. He is still as cute as a button though.

Valentine Adult Time

I bet you thought this was something I shouldn't be posting didn't you! Ha Ha.....Valentine's Day was great. The Friday before Valentines, we got together with Brandy and Jonathan, our very best friends who we love so much, and ate dinner. Did I mention without children? We decided we would have some adult time to talk...real conversation....no interruptions. So we did and it was great. We hung out all night on Friday and had a blast. I didn't want the night to end, but we had to get home to our little cuties! Bedtime was calling. We ate dinner at Fuji, hung out at the mall, and then ended the night with Starbucks. Rusty and I love friend time and wish we had more time to hang out. Brandy and Jonathan...we love you guys! Anyway, Valentine's Day was fun. Rusty and I didn't really do much. We exchanged some cute cards and candy and called it a day. Overall it was a great weekend.

FYI: I have posted 4 blogs today so make sure you scroll down to see all the cute pictures. I think it went over to another page. Thanks for reading!


Two hot babes at dinner!

Maddie's Bday

So I know Maddies party was like 2 weeks ago, but I just got my camera back and remembered to bring it to work. Maddie turned 1 and had a cute bday party. We had a great time with our sweet friends and can't believe Maddie is already a year old. It seems like Brandy just had her and I was still pregnant. Maddie and Jameson are exactly 6 months apart. We joke around and say that Maddie and Jameson are going to be married one day. So...we are putting them together early. At the party we put Maddie and Jameson in the wagon and they seemed to love it. We thought a romantic wagon ride would help them bond. The pictures turned out really cute.







Helping Jameson out with the toys!


Love at first sight!

Play Date

Jameson had his first play date a few weeks ago. Jill and Landon came to the house to play all day. They had a blast playing with each other. Landon is about 6-7 weeks older than Jameson and it is funny to see how different they are. We had a great time and can't wait until Spring so we can get out more.

If all we had were boxes

I think Jameson would be perfectly happy with boxes as toys. He has so many toys, but you show him a box or paper bag and he is in Heaven! He has a wipe box that he loves to play with more than any other toy right now. The other morning I was thrown out some old food and I had taken out some old waffles to throw away. Jameson had a fit for the box so I let him play with it. I jumped up to get my camera and when I came back I saw that he had found a waffle in the box and was trying to chew on it. Here are a few cute pictures.

6 month check up

Can you blieve my little pumpkin is already 6 months old? I can't. My how the time flies. We went to the doctor yesterday for our check up and shots. I had a knot in my stomach all morning and was so nervous when I took him back to his room. I hate seeing him cry. It hurts me more than him....I think. Anyway, he is a healty little boy. He weighs 17lbs. 12oz and is 26 1/2 inches long. The doctor said he is perfect. I could have told him that. Ha. We are still mastering our baby food, but he seems to like just about everything.....except green beans. I hated them as a child too so I can't blame him. I didn't start eating green beans until I was in my twenties. Now they are my favorite. He is also working on crawling. He gets on him tummy and scoots around and most of the time looks like he is trying to swim. He is so cute and I love him so much. I had no idea how much love I could feel for one person.

Hope everyone is doing well and I will post more later. I have some really cute pictures from Maddie's bday party, but I left my camera at Brandy's house. I will post those soon.

Long time no post

Sorry it has been so long, but I have been super busy and haven't had time to post anything. Not much is happening. Pretty much same things. Work, play, eat, sleep (very little) and start over again. Jameson is doing great and is still growing so big. He can sit up on his own now and we are working on crawling, though we still haven't mastered that yet. He doesn't like it when I put him on his hands and knees and he often times whines and lays down. We will get it though. He is now 6 months old and as cute as ever. He will smile at you now with both gums and you can't help but smile back. When he does get teeth he will definitely show them off.

My birthday was great! Everyone cooked for me(including Rusty)! He did a good job and I was very pleased. I can't believe I am 27 and have a child though. I told Rusty we had to get started on another one before we get too old. :) Just kidding. I can't handle anymore right now, but we do want more. Maybe 2 more.

That is about all that is happening right now. My life is very eventful, but predictable. I can't wait for spring. I get into a little slump every year about this time. I hate cold weather! You can't go outside, you constantly have dry skin, and it is always raining or gray outside. Not fun. I am a warm weather type of gal. I love the beach and can't wait to take Jameson this summer.

I don't really have any cute pictures to show you other than Jameson in his new bathtub. He got a rubber ducky tub and he loves to splash around in it.

Our new found tongue and cute pictures

We had a lazy weekend. I tried to do as little as possible. I am going on almost 6 months of not sleeping an entire night and it is beginning to catch up with me. Yes, you heard me right. Jameson is still not sleeping through the night. He wakes up at least one time a night STILL. I always heard moms say, "my child didn't sleep through the night until he was over a year old." I just always said to myself, "ah, that will never happen to me." Well, it is happening to me and I don't know what to do about it. I have tried everything. I know he will sleep one day. I just keep praying. What gets me is he will sleep all night one night and not sleep all night for several weeks. Then he will have another good night and not sleep for more weeks. I am not complaining because I know it could be so much worse. He is adorable and I love him so much. He has discovered his tongue and it is so cute. Everything he does now he sticks out that little tongue. I have taken several pictures of him lately and realized that his tongue is out in most of them. Also, another cute thing he does is if I ever change his diaper on the floor, he rolls over on his tummy before I can put a diaper on him. My child loves to be naked and would sit around naked all day if I would let him. I took a cute picture of him looking up at me with the cutest grin on his face and his little butt shining everywhere. I wish I could share it with you, but I have no idea who looks at my blog and I don't want some psycho looking at my child's butt. That may sound extreme to you, but working in the Social work field I have quickly learned that anything is possible. Just take my word that he is cute as a button. He also loves his exersaucer that Santa brought to him, but recently he has discovered the tags on the inside of the seat and plays with them more than the toys. He is so mesmerized by them. I know I need to cut them off (and I am going to), but I had to take a picture of it first. He is almost 6 months old now. We go for our checkup week after next and I will update you on how big he has gotten.
I hope everyone is doing well, and keep blogging. I love reading.

Tomorrow is my birthday! Whooppeeee.....I love birthdays! I will be 27 and still feel like I am 18. I usually announce it for like a solid month before just so people will know, but this year has been different. My priorities have changed and I don't think about myself as much anymore. I am still pumped and can't wait. Have a great night!


Playing with those tags!




Baby Blues


Here is the tongue!


Here it is again.

No one warned me!!

Jameson is teething.......need I say more? No one warned me that teething could be so hard, at least it is for us. I should have been ready for it because just about every stage that Jameson has gone through has been to the highest extreme possible. I have always joked that things are never easy for me.....well that is proving true with a baby too. For almost two months now Jameson has been chewing and drooling, but for about 1 week now he has really started teething. He bites down on everything to the point of almost shaking. He bites my face, fingers, hair, arm, shoulder, his toys, and I think he would chew on Lilly if she would be still enough for him. He has also been waking up about every 1 1/2 to 2 hours at night. I went up and down our stairs the other night so many times that the next day my legs were sore....just kidding. Anyway, my SIL, Dana, told me that she used to rub benedryl on Bella's gums and that would help her a lot. So I called the nurse and she advised me to do the same. I rubbed Jameson's gums with a heavy heart. I felt like such a bad mom for giving him medicine. I hate giving him medicine. Well, I was sure that it would do the trick and let him rest comfortably. I put him down at 9:30 and at 10:30 he started crying.....and at 12:30. So I gave him some tylenol and he slept until around 5:30. That was Sunday night. He slept a little better last night. I feel so sorry for him because I know he is in pain and I can't help him. So....any of you moms have any other advice for me. I know I am just going to have to wait it out and pray that some teeth come in soon. I have teethers, cold wash cloths...etc. All that good teething stuff they tell you to try. I need good advice. Let me know what you did with your little ones.

Other than a little sleep deprivation (which I have been in since day one) we are doing well. The house is great, Rusty is great, and Jameson is growing daily. He is still learning all kind of new things and I love to watch him. He loves to play "this little piggy" on his toes. I will start and he immediately starts smiling and laughing. He is so cute and I am thankful that I have the cutest baby alive! Ha.

Tag....I'm It

This is my first time being tagged as a blogger, so here goes.
This is a picture tag and here are the rules:

1. Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer
2. Select the 4th picture in the folder
3. Explain the picture
4. Tag 4 people to do the same
5. No Cheating (Cropping, editing, etc..)


I took this picture because it was the first time Jameson sat in his swing with it on for more than 2 seconds. He is actually watching cartoons....I know I am a bad mom! I was so proud of him for even sitting in it. He hated his swing until he was about 3 months old and still doesn't sit in it for long.

I tag:

Kaye T.

Beth C.

That is all I can do because I don't know anymore bloggers well enough. How sad! I need some more friends. Ha Ha...
