Snow (again) and a list.

So we are currently in the midst of a blizzard.. or Snowpocalypse 2010 as they are calling it. Apparently, we could have over 2 feet by the time its over.. or more considering there was already snow on the ground that hadn't melted yet.

This is Maryland not Alaska.. and I need to move back to South Carolina STAT.

Since all this snow is damaging my brain.. this blog will have to be in list form.

1. E has an ear infection from teething.. poor baby.
2. I have a sinus infection from working with snotty kids all day.. poor momma.
3. Where is spring/summer? I want to break out my fav J.Crew shorts (yellow with navy anchors, duh) and the sundresses. Mostly because I was prego all last spring/most of summer so I miss those clothes  as maternity clothes are just not quite as cute!
4. My 2 boys are currently napping together and I love seeing them together sleeping or playing - I am truly blessed to have such an amazing husband and father to my baby boy.
5. Speaking of prego and baby boys. I have baby fever lately. and I am not too sure why. Scott and I always wanted to have our kids close together (by close i mean 2 or 3 years.. not 9 months) so it might just be something we are putting on our radar for this fall.
6. We will not be having more children until our house situation progresses some more. Hard to build a house with 3 feet of snow on the ground.. UGH.
7. I love spaghetti!
8. I miss Clemson and all my girlfriends in the south! Shout out to you bitches! Love you all!
9. My dog is hilarious in all of this snow. -- pictures to follow for sure.
10. This might have been the most random post ever.

October!!

October brings lots of exciting things this year!! (and most years!)

Things I LOVE about this month:

• My mom and both of my sister-in-laws birthdays
• My baby boy will be 3 months old! -- thats 1/4 of a year!
• More Clemson and Giants football

Which brings me to something really exciting!! The day after tomorrow many of my favorite girls from Clemson will be in Maryland for the Clemson vs MD game and mucho tailgating and catching up and I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! eeeeeeeeeeeekkkk!

back to my list..

• Cool fall air and the clothing it brings (sweaters and boots!)
• Ethan's first Halloween!!!!
  

Which brings me to something else! I cannot for the life of my decide what he should be.. his first Halloween is a big deal!! We were thinking maybe a dinosaur since we call him Stink-a-sorous. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

back to my list again..

• Candy Corn, Pumpkins, & Halloween decorations
• Heck, Halloween in general!

Ahhhhh, life is good. In other news..

A fab sorority sister of mine mentioned Thankful Thursdays in her blog.. and I love the idea especially in honor of fall.. so..

I am so THANKFUL that it looks like we will be in our brand new house that is OUR's by Christmas! Homeownership feels so good and we havent even finished signing on the dotted line yet!

What do you love about October/fall?

Bad News and Good News

Bad news first..
My Tigers lost because of a BOGUS holding call. My hatred of GA Tech continues.. surprise.

Then good news..
My Giants beat the Redskins!!!!! which is especially fun when you are at a gathering with a bunch of Redskins fans (including your husband) and you are the only Giants fan! =) Don't worry me and Ethan were both rocking our Giants gear in support!

And exciting news (because I can)
Every year my mother-in-laws side of the family goes on a big family vacation for 5 days to Chincoteague Island, VA. It is just a relaxing good time. We are leaving Thursday and I can't wait. This is our first vacay with Ethan and I am going to start getting ready tomorrow. Lets be honest it is gonna take a serious amount of stuff to go on vacay for 5 days with a 2 month old! Wish me luck packing!

Dip!!!!

With football and fall comes tailgating and food!! My parents always had a big tailgate for Clemson games when I was in college and hopefully we will be able to venture down once or twice this year with baby Ethan in tow in Tigers gear of course. =)

Anyway back to my point (can ya'll tell I have baby on the brain 90% of the time?) tailgating food! A favorite is of course DIPs! and Boo Mama is hosting a DipTacular tomorrow for people to share their favorite dip recipes! I am sooo excited. Her blog is fabulous anyway but the fact that she is hosting a DipTacular makes it even better. So hop on over there and check it out!

It's September?!

Today is September 1. Holy Cow. Exactly 2 months ago at this time I was as big as a house and on my way to the doctors for my due date appoitment.. and now my little boy is almost 2 months old!

I am slack... update time!

WOW I haven't blogged since April 29. Yikes.

Ok update time *with lots of pics*!!!

WARNING: This is going to be entirely random!

I promised I would post pics from the baby shower in Clemson.. so here are a few:

Some of my sorority sisters and I at the shower =)

A whale of a bath tub =)

Obviously Baby Ethan is a Tiger fan already!!

**Thanks to Rachie for the pics!

Ok what else has happened...

The Capitals are out of the race for the Stanley Cup now.. and while I love the caps .. them being in the playoffs causes me to win the wife of the year award multiple times.
You might remember my post here.. Well it goes to me again because for some unknown reason the capitals like to take over my husbands life. and on one particular night of the Stanley Cup playoffs.. my husband may or may not have gotten entirely too intoxicated at the bar with his friends came home vomitted on the floor, broke my cell phone, and ruined his favorite caps tshirt. He is lucky I love him.

All in all we have been married almost 3 months and I love it. Even when we lived together I never knew how much I would really love being married to him.

(This pic was taken by my fabulous liTTle sister Lydia )

We also had another baby shower with Scott's family thrown by my fabulous mom, mother in law Barbara T, and cousin Jenny I haven't gotten the pics from my momma yet but I will post them when I get them.. here is a pic of me though.. look how huge I am! (This pic was taken by Scott and I's amazing cousin Jessie.. and I have no idea why I can't get it to flip!)

Can we tell I don't take my own pics?

What else? Childbirth classes= dunzo. I will be 34 weeks prego this Wedesday and Ethan will be here so soon! I hope these next 6 weeks go by fast!! Here is a pic of his crib in his nursery.. when it is finished I will post more!

Babys need a lot of stuff that is for sure. Our house is started to look like Babies R Us but lucky for me hubster has been super great about putting everything together. Here he is putting together the bassinet.. and Jackson is helping.. obviously

I also went back to Clemson to see Jess graduate! Im so proud of her and all my other Clemson Grads!! Look at my little graduate!!

I'm sure other things have happened but those are the highlights!

I will be a better blogger.. and thus here is my weekend recap!

Friday: I made yummy chicken enchiladas and spanish rice for dinner and then Scott and I took Jackson to our cousin Kevin's baseball game!

Saturday: We went to our friend's Tony and Heather's housewarming party and then over to Scott's parents to eat crabs and hang out. Here is when Scott decided that he was going to start a pool for when the baby is going to come. Our families are way too into it! but the winnings look like they will be substaintal!

Sunday: We helped our cousin Bobby move out of his parents house (well I didn't help.. I supervised) and then we went to eat at TGIFridays. We then met our friend's Rick and Michelle at the movies to see Star Trek. Not really my type of a movie.. it was a little out there but decent.
