Jaxon is now 10months old and is getting to be such a big boy. His first word is while shaking his hand "awlll du" for all done. He is also waving "bye bye." He does not have any teeth yet, but I think he is working on it.

Matt and I took the kids to Giddings for a visit at Grandpa and Grandma's. They also were able to see Great Grandma Joyce, Great Grandma Kurio, Uncle Justin, and Matt's cousin Kristin and her son Hunter. They were both warn out and fell asleep on the way home.

Matt's mom gave me a bag of bread mix she concocted to see if my bread machine is actually broken or if it is bad yeast. Well we have risen bread woohoo! No hard ball of lump today. I found some great recipes online as well.

Here are pictures from yesterday and "unbroken bread machine" bread!

Sometimes the Pain Hits Out of Nowhere!

It has been a while since I posted to the blog. I don't want let all my avid readers down LOL!! Well in case you did not know, I lost my Dad on June 27. Although I was emotional around the time of his death and during the funeral, I have had a hard time letting go of the grief. I had felt like I needed to be the one to comfort and reassure the rest of my family. My Mom stayed with me from the time of the funeral until late August. The day she left, I bawled like a big baby, and have cried every day since.
I still feel my his presence, I have felt his big hands rubbing my shoulders, and his voice so many times in my head.
I thought this was pretty neat. I normally do not speed especially with my babies in the car. Well I was late for an appointment and started off speeding down the highway. I heard clear as day, my father's voice "you better slow down girl, you have got such precious cargo in this car, why would you chance it" I immediately slowed down and the next intersection was a State Trooper. So I got the reminder of my precious cargo, and since I listened I did not get a ticket. Thanks Dad!
To me he was a great Dad, Papa, and Friend. I miss him dearly.
