could this be.....

the next "Casa de Bettencourt??"

we will find out soon!!!!

update....

So, we have a contract on the house!!! The inspection was done yesterday but I have no idea how it went. Hopefully there isn't too much on the list because I really don't want to mess with it.

We are hoping to go look for houses for most of the day tomorrow but now Dustin isn't sure if he can get away from work. Ummm, we need a house dude. (Granted, we need you to have a job too but we NEED a house to buy! Can't they live without you for one day??)

Happy St. Patty's Day...just a little early! I am looking forward to a green beer!

Bubba

weighs: 27lbs

has a BIG head, still

is 34.5in long

in other words, he is tall, skinny and has a big head.......sound like anyone we know??

he also ALWAYS has a stain on his shirt, ALWAYS has a cup in his hand, and of course loves to be "ou-sigh"!!!

say cheese!

This is the face I get as soon as I pull out the camera. And he is saying "cheeeese".

The face of pure happiness:

At least they look like they love each other!

If only he had his eye open!

Her model pose:
Nothing like an impromptu photo shoot with the kids. I am pretty sure neither one of them have had their hair brushed today......but they are fed, happy and ready for naps!

Two years ago today........continued

It was snowing...in March...in Texas....my Dr. was out of town....I was in denial for a few hours that it was happening......but he was ready.

Therefore:
Bryson Andrew Bettencourt entered the world and forever changed our family.

Then:

NOW!

We love you Bubba and can't imagine life without you! You are funny, sweet, the world's best hugger, a charmer, a flirt but sometimes aggressive with your sister. You love your doggies, can't live without your "cow" (milk), love your "wovie" (pictured above) and you brighten our days with your smile and laughs.....although you can throw some serious fits too! You are you and WE LOVE YOU!

By the way: The poor guy walked into the living room this afternoon and puked everywhere.....we aren't sure if it is the dreaded stomach flu that has be going around or just an isolated glum-tum. Either way, not the best way to break in the 2's!!!!!

The PAR-TAY for the little guy is next weekend at McDonald's with his best bud Conner. Sure to be a good time for all.....if you're into the whole trans fat/fake meat/high calorie thing!

Two years ago today

Two years ago today I was a desperate pregnant woman. A BIG and desperate pregnant woman. You see, Bryson's due date was 2 days away but I wasn't scheduled to be induced until 2 days AFTER his due date. I couldn't fathom having to wait another 4 days being the BIG desperate pregnant woman that I was.

So I did what any normal and sane pregnant woman would do.........I crashed my friends Dr. appt (we had the same OB/GYN) and begged my doctor to check me one more time. I tried and tried to convince him I was ready to have this baby! My Dr. was headed out town the following day for a mini-4day-vacation and I just knew I would have to deliver with one of his partners if I went into labor.

He didn't check me, I am sure he thinks I am crazy, but in the end I WAS RIGHT!

to be continued...............

summer plans.....

I want to plan a trip for the family.

Here's the problem(s):

• I don't want to spend a lot of money.
• Bryson can only handle being in the car about 4 hours tops.
• I am not ready to wear a bathing suit.
• I need Bryson to learn to swim!

what are your summer plans? any suggestions for me? We would prefer lake house, beach house or something along those lines.
