Phone Book in 2015? ...

 EVERY.NIGHT... :)

Disclaimer - Sorry for the language, but this was too funny.  This is definitely a pic of my son in 2017-2018.  Yep, sure is, except for the chili bowl hair cut.

Let me go ahead and tell you nothing much has happened here lately.  Just taking care of the bebe and trying to prepare myself mentally to go back to work on the 16th.  

I guess that means that I must start getting dressed in something other than workout clothes, pull out the ol' make-up and actually wash my hair.  Brad is going to think he hit the jack-pot or has two wives.

Last Friday night, Ledger had a rough one.  I mean rough...  Up every hour.  So in efforts to (shut him up) calm him down, Momma loaded him up about 6:00 am and took a drive around our lovely town.  I managed to take off my robe and put on a ratty sweatshirt, but that was about it.  I mean he was unmanageable ALL NIGHT LONG.  I swaddled, fed, changed him, played music, sang to him, you name it!  There was a one-man-show going down in his nursery.  So in last efforts, a drive was a must.  I started the short drive to my home away from home these days; Starbucks.  I knew they opened at 5:30, so Momma was happy, well as chipper as one can be on 1-2 hours of sleep.  I grabbed my coffee and noticed that I heard SILENCE from the back seat.  I turned around in the parking lot and here is what I saw....

 Sigh...

This is my "Are you freaking kidding me?"  Why didn't I load him up at 1:00 am and do this?

I drove straight home, left L in the car in the garage, and climbed back in bed for two hours.  Went and checked on him at 8:15 and yep, still snoozing away.  Rough night for the little fellow, I guess.....

Last Saturday was my Mom's 65th birthday!  Little did she know, my Dad had planned a wonderful surprise party in her honor!  And he planned this puppy in FOUR DAYS...  You name it, he did it; all on his own.  He called all the guests - 14 couples, planned the menu at the Country Club, ordered the flowers for the table centerpieces, had fun birthday banners made, purchased countless gifts and designed a yummy cake.  WHAT a great husband he is!  Mom did not have a clue....  It was so fun being in on the secret and helping Dad when he would call me 5-8 times a day - No lie.  Here is an example of one of our many, many conversations.

D:  "Hey, where do you think I should get Mom a gift card?  Maybe some new clothes or shoes for her, not to spend on you three kids or all the grand kids!"

H: "Hmmm.  Dillard's or the Loft will be great!"

D: "Can you look those numbers up in the phone book for me?"

H: "Dad, I do not have a phone book for Amarillo, TX and do phone books even exist anymore? Just Google it."

D: "I don't have Google on my phone Heather...."

H: "Yes you do Dad.. You have an IPhone."

D: (With complete frustration in his voice....) "Well Heather, I don't know how to Google..."

H: (In less than 7 seconds...) "I got this Dad. Here are the numbers."

God love him...

 Yes, those would be pom-poms on the table in honor of Bob's college cheerleading days...

Glad she found the humor in her birthday banner!:)

Talking with her hands of course...And doesn't look a day over 50!

Love, love this sweet photo of the most amazing couple I know.  What a testament of love and commitment.

Some more firsts:

First mall trip.  He loved it.  Definitely a shopper like his Daddy.

First Wubba...

L's first shot for his modeling portfolio.  (Maybe not with the horizontal stripes... Doesn't do much for his mid-section and waistline.)  

I swear, this child is a POSER!  Hysterical....

Cannot believe it is March!  Time is flying by...  

And I can't wait for Daylight Savings this Saturday/Sunday.  On pins and needles... Should be loads of fun with a 7 week old. 

Love,

~H
