3.5 Months...

3.5 months: the longest I've gone without blogging since I started blogging...so per the special request to update my blog...here's a glimpse into the most recent Thurman happenings.

Since my last blog, we found out we were pregnant, I started a new job, we have moved, we ended our 2 year commitment as a CARES team, and found out we are having a GIRL...these could be some pretty legit reasons why I haven't taken or found the time to blog.

Anywhoo! Here is the latest and greatest of our precious and soon to be BIG brother.

Loving the 4th of July parade

That parade was HOT!! (I wonder where he gets that red face from??)

Me, of course!

Daddy was protecting him from the loud noises in the sky.

And of course, I have to start including our little girl!

There ya go...is that better mom? :)

OH and my one and only and I are leaving for Vegas Monday for 5 days!

Maybe just maybe, I'll blog about that in the days to come.

Jett Lately

Happy Friday!

AHHH...Sweep that Broom!

If only you could actually hear this tune the tiger sings as Jett "sweeps that broom."

It may be annoying to me, but seeing Jett's face when he hears the song makes it bearable.

So not only does he carry this broom around the house, he also has discovered the drawer below the stove...not good. Everything that was in this drawer, now resides on top of our fridge. Tacky...yes, but I have a toddler. The displacement of everything that once was is worth it.

Cute face...dirty stove.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

What's Your Mission?

"As believers, we are called to live a life of submission-submission to God. Submission simply involves taking your mission in life and putting it under the Lord. You take what you want to do and put it under what God wants you to do. God has a mission for your life, but you have to put your life under His control to fulfill that mission. And when you do, He blesses you to be able to fulfil what He has call you to do."

-Robert Morris

Have you surrendered your mission to God, so that he can truly bless you?

Grandma & Grandpa Come to Town

My parents came in town for a very fun and relaxing weekend! Our main goal today, actually all week, was to go to the Houston Zoo. Great idea, right? After all, we purchased a Zoo Pass last May and have yet to actually get our money's worth. Well, it turns out everyone and their dog, literally, had the exact same idea that we had. So after searching aggressively for a parking spot for about uhhh...30 minutes, not to mention the restless toddler who was not in his car seat for 29 of these minutes, we got the heck out of dodge. After escaping the mad chaos, we finally made our way to an empty parking garage. We paid 1 buck to park, and made our way to Discovery Green. It ended up being the prefect afternoon, and it was a great way to wrap up the day. Not to mention, Jett LOVED the freedom!

LIFE

The boy LOVES LOVES LOVES his LIFE cereal. He started eating this over Christmas at his Grandparents house, and ever since, he doesn't care for the usual oatmeal in the mornings. (I'd be sick of it too if I ate that everyday for almost a year.) So this is Jett's breakfast of choice everyday. Yes, he makes choices. Despite being unable to understand what he says, he makes LOTS of choices these days....very, very independent, or so he thinks.
