Lets hear it for the boy!!!

Memphis will be 7 months this weekend and finally slept through the night, no wake ups at all!!! I got 7 hours sleep (that hasn't happened in like 8 months, unless we have a babysitter and i get to sleep in, which averages 1-2 times a month) So yes, I'm pretty stoked about it!! And he napped the whole time while i got groceries and took a second chance at green beans. An over all success of a day!! He liked the green beans, didn't love but like is good enough for me. We have such a exciting weekend, Trav is off Friday and we are going to the zoo to enjoy the sunny 65 degree weather and we are attending my friend Kristen's son Elvis 3rd bday Saturday. Travis being gone during the week has been a bummer but the weekends always have so much fun stuff planned for us. And with the weather being nice lately we have had many play dates during the week and trips to visit family. Cant believe last year in Feb we had that terrible ice storm , which i fell down stairs pregnant and had to be rushed to Dr, and now we are enjoying almost 70 degree temps. Cant beat it. And another awesome thing ( you will think this is retarded unless you've had children) Memphis is pooping solid turds. yes, no more runny dunks that at any moment could ruin a perfectly planned outfit. Life is just wonderful.

Duck hunter







Went to the duckpond and park today with Grandpa Blue, Nana K, Aunt Tutu, and Peyt (Memphis BFF) They had a blast and for the first time both boys got to swing, they adored it!! Memphis will be 7 months this weekend and is still crawling fast, loves squash, getting better at night sleeping, still trying to cut a first tooth, and should have a first word pretty soon! Hims a busy and popular boy. Duh.....

Covin Game Night


I usually kick butt at board games but ive met my match in games i cannot play. Dirty Minds is a game like no other and when you get 3 couples playing it , it is highlarious! (seemingly filthy clues point towards the most innocent of answers)
Example:

What fits neatly between your breasts, works best when tugged, and inserts neatly into a hole?

If you have a dirty mind, you'd say a penis.
It's really a seat belt.
Travis actually was very good at this, ha. He hates talking about sex , and I talk about it very openly. Who knew the prude would rock at it........

Its Friday people!!!


Memphis got to go to Nana's house to go for a walk while i went and saw Jen's new 2 lb 15 oz preemie Collins!! I got major anxiety walking in the hospital recalling my c section . ugh..... its gonna be awhile before the next one. Praying for a speedy recovery for both mom and baby!! So glad i got to see her!! Baby was in NICU so we didnt get to see him face to face but did see pics and he is so tiny!!! Happy Friday! Cant wait for this fun filled weekend!!

Luck or lack there of




Had a playdate today with my mother in law's neighbor Peyt , who is 2 weeks older than Memphis. They were smiling and having a grand ol time until P started to cry then all hell broke out!!! They both cried, when one stopped the other kept going.... We managed to finally get them quiet and they were back to being BFF's again! It was so cute to see them babble and interact, though Peyt is not very much older he is soooooo much bigger than Memphis!!! On my way home i got a flat tire, the 5th time in a year.... I'm starting to think my punk teenager neighbors are putting them in the driveway. I thankfully keep my car in the garage but feel like i need to check the drive way every time i leave. Don't drive through alot of construction and the tire guy said that was alot of nails for that period of time... no bueno.( Made it to tire place by my house just in time for it to be totally flat) And Travis is out of town and the baby screamed non stop through the whole ordeal. damn, people..... And my brother accidentally drank bleach and had to have 911 called out.( his girlfriend put it in a cup to clean and he took a big swig thinking it was Fresca) What a day, ready for it to end.Being a single mom during the week sucks in times like this!!! Travis job is taking us to Houston for a couple years, bummed but i will be in Dallas every other week ,staying all week with my parents when I'm here. So ready to find out what were doing since its been so back and forth on the whole move thing. But with the risk comes reward, right??? Just hoping Memphis becomes a better back seat rider !! 30 minutes is kinda his tolerating limit. And Spring, TX is 3 1/2 hours away. do the math.

Getting out the house!!

Nana K
Aunt Tutu

We have been stuck in the house almost all week since Memphis had a cold, no bueno.... Travis is still traveling alot so it makes it extra hard being here by myself with a sick kiddo!! Finally got out today and met up with my mother in law and aunt in law. We had so much fun shopping for the two baby showers I'm doing and lunching at Chipotle! Mom and I are working on diaper cakes and i think, lets say i know, they are going to be fab!! Memphis is getting so big and we are still waiting on teeth to come in!! He is teething on everything!!! Hes still crawling fast and my house is still not baby proofed. ugh..... Even though i am a stay at home mom, i think of it more as a stay at home rock star, so with that said CherryHill is back to open gigs next month (been doing private gigs lately) Im also going to start dj work. Yes DJ. as in DJ Kiki. word.

Dirty 30



Mini and I being so much cooler than 99 percent of folks
Top Golf in Allen, civilized games
Dirty 30 Boy
Sis in law Rhi
Extreme Bean Bag enthusiastic watchers

Aunt Cindy and Uncle David New Years Eve Dinner
Uncle Tank and Memphis

So Friday was Travis 30th and he seemed like it was no big deal as I am starting to panic about mine coming up in June. We went with 7 other couples to the new Top Golf in Allen and had so much fun!! They have outdoor couches and fire pits which made it less boring for me seeing as how i cant hit golf balls for anything! The start of the new year has been kind of stressful with Travis traveling for work again, i feel like a single mom. But i plan to keep myself busy with all the babies on the way. My brother being one of the dad to be's is especially exciting because i will be a aunt for the first time , and its a girl!! Aubrey will be here April 4th and ive already bought that child so many bling hairbows its cray cray!! And lucky for her, Aunt Kiki (me) is crafty and will make her anything you could imagine a girl would need!! Memphis is crawling really fast, pulling up to standing in his pack and play and crib and laughs at cartoons , sadly not just me anymore... He LOVES bananas, apples and squash. yes squash. He despises green beans which is funny because i love them and Travis hates them. Who doesn't like green bean casserole?? my weirdo husband..... I don't have and never have made New Years resolutions but this year mine is to throw myself into writing music again. Memphis has given me so much inspiration and I'm hoping to really stick with it. I've never had a easy time time with writing lyrics though i can easily be quick on my feet verbally, hoping to find a way to express on paper better. Last year was a great year, stressful but great, hoping to blow last year out of the water. not sure if that figure of speech works. Travis seems to think my analogies never work. they do.
