Hanging In There...

Well, for the next few days anyway, I am not a single mom! Coach Phillips is home until Sunday when he will leave for OK again. I absolutely hate it when he is gone. Its hard not being able to really visit with him with this job. He is always with college students, even in the hotel so there is not a lot of privacy and of course he cannot talk on the golf course. He went from traveling with Alamosa to travel time with golf. It is hard not being able to take him a coke in the afternoon or on our way home from school. He was here a lot in the mornings after his work outs but now he is pretty busy with recruiting so we are just hanging on until summer. It is really nice to see him so happy though and doing something that he so loves. Its so weird to hear people call him coach! His reaction is still a little delayed!

My parents are coming out tommorow afternoon and bringing me lots of goodies! I have been so blessed with some really neat hand-me-downs that are also really special with sentimental value. I am getting a "new to me" dining room table that was my aunt's. Its fairly large and will seat 6 without the leaves (sp?) in. I found some really cool fabric from Ballard Designs that I am recovering the seats in. Its a sort of two tone, sand color leopard print. The chairs are carved with a cane back and the table is a tressle. My aunt has moved into a new place where it will not fit and does not have gas so I am also getting her gas logs! Woo Hoo! Two of my favorite things are sitting by a fire and a hot bubble bath but I already have the tub! I am also inheriting a trunk from my late grandmother that with a new paint finis will serve as a side table in our living room. My mom is a big time gardner these days and has a ton of plants on their long back porch. She is dividing several of them up and going to help me plant some asparagus ferns, verigated ferns and ivy to help my dusty covered porch look a little more spring like, which by the way it actually is the right season here this week. I am so excited to receive all these fun items! We plan on going shopping out at Coyote Candle Co. to get some iron trellis' for the back brick wall in the yard and get the flower bed ready. I love doing stuff like this with my mother! She is so good at it too.

I am going to try to get them to stay until Trent gets back. Sure would be nice to have them around. This last time was the first time I was totally on my own with a toddler and a baby for four whole days. Even the in-laws were out of town. I did it quite a bit when I was pregnant and Trent was in the southeast all the time for Sprint but its quite a bit harder now that the baby is here and that Ty is over two! Man, have I mentioned I can't wait until SUMMER!?!?!?

Well I am enjoying him for the time being and we are planning some dates this weekend for before he leaves and while my parents are here to enjoy the kids. We have not had one in too long. Its hard to believe there was a time when we did once a week! Times are a changing............

And its only 11 O'clock!

Well I was up again for an entire night other than all of thirty minutes, between Olivia falling asleep and Ty waking up for the day! She is still waking up at two every day, now the second week of it, and is only congested at night- looks like she is going to be like her daddy with the allergies. I suck her little nose out probably three times a night. She threw up at about 4 and spent the majority of the night in her swing. I thought it would help being more upright. Her crying would make Ty stir and vice versa. Juggling two at night is fun :) Ty sat on the potty for 40 minutes while I multi-tasked nursing and reading him potty books on the bathroom floor! Every time he tells me he needs to go I sit him on there until he actually does. Well he went but his little friend was not pointing down so he went in the tub immediately after. The funny part was I got him undressed and let him flush, his favorite part, and he was waving and screaming "Bye Bye Tee Tee!!" I put Olivia in the swing to get him dryed off and dressed and then a snack. Then she finally got to finish eating, and of course spit up. Not near as much as usual but still justified a change of clothes on my part and cleaning a pillow and carpet, same as the four O'clock one only that one was a true vommit. When Trent came in around 7:15 we got dressed, made coffee and went to pick up the van which he will be taking to OK later this afternoon. He got me doughnuts on the way back, he got his mother and me mixed up on what we like, but I am so tired and just delighted to be eating that I really did not care! I ate the maple bar and enjoyed it with a LARGE cup of coffee. Well that is my Saturday so far and its only 11 O'clock! We still have naps to go, and hopefully a shower on my part, and a birthday party for our good friend Thomas later this afternoon! I got him a fun little gift last week when we were in Ft. Worth at the Cracker Barrel.. such a fun little gift shop in addition to the absolute best breakfast anyone ever had!!!! It is going to be one of my traditions when going home from now on. Anyhoo... its a little weasel that looks like its playing with a ball. It looks so real and moves around really fast! I thought that would bring many hours of joy to a toddler! I may get Ty one next time I am there! I found some other fun little gifts for friends too but won't mention them in case someone happens to be reading. Well little sister is fussing again so I guess its time for the other side now that her stomache has settled a little. On with the day! HI OH SILVER...........AND AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brown Town Turns WHITE

Yes, it is March and you are looking at my new little SPRING flag as it is surrounded by our first snow!!!! Two weeks ago it was 80 degrees, right now it is 30 :) Absolutey unreal.

Liv's Crib

Go to sleep.... go to sleep..... go to sleep little baby............

Well last night was the first night in her room and in her crib. I was up most of the night being anxious and trying to listen to every breath just in case she stopped or wiggled. She was in a positioner, not shown here, which helped. She woke up at 2 and was up until 3:30 but then slept until we woke her at 9 this morning!!!! She has been sleeping from 10-8 since she was two weeks old up until last week when we were at my parents. I figure she is just a little out of whack for the time being. She has been in a bassinet in our room up until last night. I have a dear friend who will being having her little Ella any day now who will be sleeping in it and my little one is too long for it anyhow at this point. I have had her room done since before she was born but she is just now using it, weird on my part I guess. It is just already going by too fast. She rolled completely over for the first time last night. She had been getting her upper body over and face stuck in the ground up to this point but now she has mastered it and lifts her little head! She is a strong little booger too, pulls her foam bars with toys over on her play mat and always gets tangled up in it. I will walk in the room and she has some how scooted herself on her back to the middle of it! I have yet to see that happen! She is darn fast! Well we are back to a normal schedule for the time being. Trent has tournaments every weekend for the rest of the school year but is home some in the mornings and at around 6 every night so I am not complaining!!! Its so nice having him around. This sure beats the corporate life we were used to. All is well in our crib :)

YEE HAW PARDNER

Well here is my little cowboy. Tomorrow is hat day at school so you know he will be prepared with this one which I wore when I was four! growing up in Ft. Worth we ALWAYS went to the stock show and were decked out in classic western wear. I had the cutest red gingham shirt and red boots to accompany the hat but they are long gone now.

This Ty and his good friend George. He was wild about him way before the latest movie came out, which is really cute btw. As you can see he sleeps with him as well. Ty is such a fun age right now and I am enjoying, well almost every minute of it. We have some challenging days as anyone could imagine but his humor is really coming out and for the most part he has such a sweet nature about him. I am still trying for the zoo pics. I had to take off the Kodak Easy Share but Daddy is back in town and will be working on that later this evening. Because of George, I think, the "eeh eeh ahh ahh's" were his favorite part.

Spring Break

Well it was Spring in Fort Worth all week, now we have returned to the brown town and not only is it still brown but its back to winter weather! At least its actually raining for a change. Driving into Fort Worth last week I was so excited to see green everywhere! Also nice breathing in clean air and not smelling dirt while taking a shower! I had forgotten how nice it was to feel some humidity and be surrounded by pretty landscaping!

We went to the zoo Monday which was really nice! A perfect day for it although darn crowded. It was the first day of spring break there too so everyone had the same idea. It brought back so many memories I had of childhood. We used to go all the time and I also took zoo art there. Ty had an absolute blast!!! He tried to scare all the animals with his tiger roar and arms out at them. He loved the petting zoo and carousel in the Texas part. Pop got him some old fashioned ice cream which he had gone in no time. After we finished the animals we took the little train from the zoo over to Trinity Park. I have very vivid memories of doing that as a child and eating picnic lunches over there and playing on the playground completely shaded by HUGE trees, also a novelty for me now! Its a 40 minute ride with a 10 minute stop at the park. Ty was just beside himself! It was so weird sitting there with my parents and two kids remembering how it was for myself as a child...... and now two additional people with me!

I got some great pictures of it all but need some help from one of you if you have the know-how. I forgot my digital camera so we bought some "throw-away" ones and when we had them developed had them put on a disk. I downloaded that Kodak Easy Share thing but can't figure out how to save them to my computer to e-mail or post here. Any suggestions?

The week was absolutely wonderful. I got to go to my favorite lunch place with some friends, "Boo Boo's"- has the best chickensalad sandwhich and broccoli cheese soup EVER! Did a little shopping, saw family and a few friends. Saw Little Amy's new little one- Mr. Cale! Absolutely precious with a perfect mixture of Steele and Davis! This was the first time I have not been ready to come back. I am going to try to go this summer for a few weeks so we will have more time.

Well now its back to the dirt. Did get back just in time to see my Sister-in-law and niece and nephews for a dinner. They had the same break and are headed back to Houston today. :( Ty has such a great time with his cousins and I wish it could be more often. The parents are back with me for the weekend and I am hoping to be productive around the house with them to see about the kiddoes so I won't be constantly interruppted. The weather is keeping us in which is probably a good thing after all the running around we have been doing. Guess I won't be wearing Flip Flops again for ahwile! Oh well.........

Country Roads Take Me Home

I have been singing the words of the great late John Denver for days now since the wedding I coordinated included the songs for the groomsman's parents, he is fromWest Virginia. The groom of my friend Rebecca I mentioned previously, which by the way was absolutely stunning. It is definately thanks to God that the wind waited to blow because the ceremony was outside. Beautiful setting and could not have fit the couple more perfectly! I now have a true 'redneck' to sport home tommorrow!

I am up late doing laundry for the trip and for Trent who will be headed to Florida for a tournament about the time we get back! I have just had too much going on this past week and gotten behind. My husband, kids and I all have the dust croupe! I think mine is turning to a sinus infection but oh well, moms are not allowed to be sick are they! That would be why I am still up and my job never ceases. Sometimes I long for the time in the work place where I could have 'breaks' , go to the restroom in private, get vacation days, or just PTO!!!!! That would be the only things I miss though- at least my political battles here can be won! I always threaten Trent with diapers turning up in un-expected places!

Well the ole' mom made it out here late last night and was a lifesaver at the wedding today helping with Olivia. My mother is so easily touched, which sometimes is annoying to me, but I also appreciate that aspect about her. She was verclept for this family she hardly knows! We were waiting to back out b/c the mother of the bride was surrounded by her other daughter and son who were comforting her while she was balling about 10 minutes after the couple left! My mother started crying too at the sight of it. She went on and on about how beautiful Rebecca was and the whole thing. We laugh about how 'intense' she is and how un-emotional I can be but its something that I think is beautiful about her, being able to see her heart in all she does.

She is helping me with the drive home tommorrow, I am a little scared having a newborn, toddler, and no husband. I wish he could go so bad. We are taking Ty to the zoo and I wish he could be a part of that. I am such a worry wart and hate that about me. Everytime I leave him, the thought actually enters my mind, what if this is the last time we see each other. I do get emotional every time we hug goodbye for trips and I know that is just silly. I have a hard time giving God the reigns with my husband and children. I have a lot of maturing to do.

Well pray for us as the roads take us home tomorrow. I am looking forward to being with family and friends and ALWAYS enjoy sleeping in my old bed! Of course now that the kiddoes join me there is not as much sleeping. Trips like these are hard on the little ones so say a prayer about that also if you think about it. It should be great fun with all of us being sick and all! Great timing aye?! Well..... as soon as I finish the loads of laundry we will be off, as my aunt mimi would say......."Like a heard of turtles!"

Early Bird Special

I think I am special............well that is a positive spin on it! I have been up since 4:45 and just now on my third cup of coffee! Ty had a cough and as soon as he got settled, little girl was ready to roll! I think God is getting a big hoot out of my early morning lifestyle these days. Those of you who really know me, know that my parents had to pull me out of bed to show me that Santa had come on Christmas morning!!!! When Trent and I started dating we would meet on the corner (our apt. complexes were next to each other) at 5 AM to go running every morning. Quite a shock to everyone not only that I would be up at that hour but also to RUN!!! That is how everyone knew I was truly in love! The crazy things you will do for it!

I have a friend (who could be Holly's sister in looks) coming in just a few minutes that could use some prayer. Her husband was hospitalized for two weeks for pneumonia. He is still recovering, in fact just days after he was released their younges of three was hospitalized for the same thing. She has the most delightful girls and I am keeping the older two today so they can get the youngest to the doctor and get some things done. I can't imagine all she is juggling. Say a prayer for Courtney Anne if you think about it. I have gotten to know her through church, ladies class, and she is the director of our pre-school. She is such a sweet person with such a serving heart and I am thrilled to be able to help out.

Trent is on his way home with a breakfast burrito for me! What a sweetie, I am liking this coaching schedule! He was officially fired from Sprint yesterday and it will FINALLY take place March 30th. Now we are down to just two jobs! For those of you who don't know, its a good thing. His company Alamosa was bought out by Sprint early January. We knew it would happen eventually but it was a blessing with our job change because now he receives options and a six month severance! It was a wonderful company and its what brought us to what I refer to as browntown! So crazy how things change. We would be moving to Kansas City right now with Sprint had he not taken the coach position and told them about it. We are going to be poor but happy!!!!

I also want to ask prayers for my friend Rebecca who will be getting married this Saturday. Such an incredible girl and I don't know that I have ever been so excited and happy about a wedding! Talk about God's timing in bringing them together and such a special couple. Its a wonderful thing but please pray for peace, calm, strength, and wisdom as they embark on this time of their lives. She is really one of the most calm people I know but those of us who are married know that we need prayer for these things despite the best circumstances. Its work and Love is definately a decision more than it is a feeling.

I love that I can ask for prayers through this avenue, blogging! What does Blog mean anyway? Does it stand for something, an acronym? I am probably just ignorant on this one. I am not so technical remember! For thos of you who check in on this, you should consider hitting the tab up there and starting your own. Its such an easy way to keep in touch and look in on others. Very therapeutic as well! There is my commercial for the day. Hope all is well in your parts!

Ahhhh..... calmness

Things are finally calming down around here. Trent is around a whole lot more with a coach's schedule which is nice. For some reason Olivia has decided the past two nights that she can't make it through the night without eating. Weird for that to begin at nearly four months old! She is also kind of stopped up as is her brother so that could have something to do with it. Its all cold and dreary here which makes me feel not so guilty about just staying in. I have some chores to finish but I may get out and do some errands this afternoon depending on Mr. Ty. He got up in the night not feeling well again but...... slept until 8:30 afterward! I don't know if you can quite understand what a wild thing that is. I laid there in disbelief, awake of course because I am used to getting up early with him! Our week has been winding down nicely. We will have a laid back weekend as well.... we have a surprise birthday party for a friend turning 30 and plan to get the ole garage cleaned out. I am going to finally finish the curtains for my bedroom and bathroom and maybe get started painting a little kitchen that was mine as a child. Ty is really into pretending so I think he will enjoy it and Olivia as well in later days. We are going to try to enclose a portion of our patio this summer to be a sunroom/playroom. We just don't have the space for very many toys and for him to really be able to play. Well... Trent is about to leave and I need to make lunch so farewell for now :)

FAT TUESDAY

Well I have not ever been to Mardi Gras but I am walking around dilleriously after a night of little sleep and drinking coffee to function! I figure that is what a lot of people in New Orleans are doing right now! Ty woke up a little before four with nightmares and a cough. About the time he passed out at 8 this morning, sister was ready to eat. She then threw up the entire feeding on me and herself. We got all changed and I stepped into my houseshoes beside my bed which were full of throw up from where I turned her to avoid getting it on the bed. I have gotten pretty quick with that. Well its been a full day and its not even 10 O'clock yet! She is now asleep and Ty is back to hyper mode. I can't believe how much energy he has and would give anything to have it myself! I was looking forward to going for some coffee with girls from Ladies Class since we didn't have class today but there was no way I could get us all bathed and ready to be up there upon the decided time. I also just don't have the energy. Trent gets back late tonight from a golf tournament and I just can't wait to hug him. Things get so out of whack when he is gone and its like he has to be here for all this to work. Even though if he were he would have been asleep last night and at work today........... still its just his presence or something. I love having kids but I miss having that time with him, sleeping in, or just even a normal conversation without interruption. I am glad we waited as long as we did before having them. They are precious though. I was getting stuff to change Olivia this morning and she was fussing, I was calling out "just a minute," in frustration and then I look over at her and she has this huge grin! I couldn't help but smile and laugh about the whole thing. I think you just have to have humor to survive sometimes! I have endless Ty stories in the same way but I cannot even begin to write them all down!
We are coming along on the potty training. He occassionally is telling me BEFORE he goes! Its a real treat to flush the toilet when he goes and of course I do the happy dance and give him a bribe like gummy sweet-tarts! Not quite to underwear yet. I tried that and he immediately went right through three packages of three!
Since then and since Trent is not needing a ref uniform every other day and Olivia is throwing up only about twice a week, my laundry is headed toward the range of normal. Trent is however working out everyday with the team so I have that to keep up with instead of the uniform. I am so jealous and wish I had the time and energy to work out myself. The times when the kids are taken care of I just want to catch up on areas of the house that they don't need to be around or just take a breather and a cup of coffee to re-engergize myself. How many times have I written the word coffee now? I think I might be addicted! I am enjoying the book I wrote about earlier from my secret sister, Keeping It Simple for Mom's On The Go. I reccommend it to all you busy moms out there. Of course a lot of you probably have it a lot more together than I do!
I think I am going to celebrate this Tuesday by actually getting fat! I am supposed to have dinner with my friend Amanda Wooten who I have not been able to visit with since right after Olivia was born. She is one of the first people I knew in moving here and is SO fun to be with. Our lives have gotten crazy with having kids and busy husbands so its hard to get together. I can't wait to see her and eat up!

He is SO proud!

Mr. Mom

Well here is my little mr. mom. This doll was my mother's and later mine, and now I guess its Ty's! It usually stays in a doll highchair in Olivia's room. Ty loves to get it and pretend. In fact......today he nursed the doll! Yes................pulled up his shirt and nursed the doll! I asked if she was hungry while trying to contain my laughter. He seemed a little embarassed and said no mommy. I have not seen him do it since but I guess he is just immulating what he sees me do! So precious and sweet. As you can see he loves his 'real' "bebe" too. He loves on her often and tries to take her from me. He is such a good helper and brings me things such as her diapers and wipes. What a sweet little man.

Smiles are Blessings

I took the advice of a friend and did some toilet reading last night! My secret sister from Ladies Class had given me a book entitled "Mom's On The Go." Its a daily reading with scriptures and neat topics. This one happened to be what a blessing a smile can be. I heard an interview with Dolly Pardon once stating how her father always used to say, "If you see someone without a smile, give them yours!" It truly is a gift to get and give and can just make your day. Such a simple thing and what an easy way to share the joy of the Lord. It was nice to have some spiritual encouragement. I guess even if its on the toilet, you just have to get the time where you can get it!
Well its another early day in Ty-ville and I am being summoned. Momeeeeee Momeeee! We are sticking around here today for the most part with the exception of a few errands I think Trent is going to be able to help me with. I STILL have to renew my driver's license! I am still having trouble with the realization that it is 2006. Man I feel old!

Monday Monday.........Remember that song?

Well it was a cold weekend and somewhat productive. Trent and I spent the entire day Saturday cleaning our closet, the one room in our house that nobody sees and the rest of it is a wreck! I have lots of laundry to catch up on tonight. We did however get to go on a date that night, well for an hour and half, to Harrigan's. Olivia has stopped taking bottles which makes it hard to get away for very long. I would so like just to sleep in together but those days are long gone. Ty gets up at 6 every morning and we take turns on the weekend getting up with him but that leaves the other alone in bed. I did put my roast on that night and it was so nice to come home from church on such a cold day to that awesome aroma! Its my favorite meal of all time and brought back some memories.
I made it the way that my nana used to. She died six months after having a stroke when I was in 6th grade. I was her only grand-child and we had a very special relationship. She kept me until I was school age and then picked me up from school everyday and I enjoyed spending Friday nights with them! I am really missing her as an adult because we have several interests in common such as cooking and sewing. I often wonder what she would think about the person I grew up to be. I wish she could have known Trent and her great-grandchildren. The same for my pawpaw who lived a year after having a stroke and then passed when I was a sophomore in college.
I have been really struggling with time management in recently having a baby in addition to my toddler. Its hard and overwhelming at times but there was a time that I did not think I would ever be married and when it was hard for us to get pregnant with Ty, I thought I may never experience having children. I try to remember that and be thankful for the craziness and mess that all of these people have brought into my life! I have not had my quiet time with God in so long. I have put him on the backburner until Sunday morning rolls around, Tuesday Ladies Class or Wednesday nights. Three times a week is not doing it for me. I need help scheduling and prioritizing. Any suggestions? Ty gets up at 6 on the dot every day. I struggle getting up with him and have not been able to do the early morning deal. I have been staying up late as well trying to get things done around the house. I guess I could while he is watching Disney but is that real quality? Somehow I think its more about quality than quanity. I was having that time in my bath, which i tried to get everynight, which changed to everyother and now its hard to ever get one! I want to spend that time after Ty goes to bed with Trent and I usually end up having to nurse and then I am just too tired and want to go to bed. I was reading "My Upmost for His Highest" and having my prayer time there. I am just so warn out all the time now and depend way too much on coffee for re-energing! Speaking of which, I need a cup to get started on the household chores I let get out of control this past weekend!

This is one happy girl! She is so easy, you just talk to her and she is all smiles. I am just soaking up every minute of her. I love this stage but am already sad that she is changing so fast, however I can't wait to see her personality blossom. Its so bitter-sweet. There are neat precious things about every stage. She is such an easy baby and a joy for all of us. Ty has been enjoying her too and has finally started calling her "wivvy" instead of baby! Olivia is quite a mouthful so I am impressed with what he has come up with! He loves to bring her his Thomas trains and thinks its funny to sneak up and scare her, she does not think its so funny.

Its a cold blustery day here in brown town and I am looking forward to spending the day with both of them at home. The high is only 30 so I don't plan on getting out and battling the wind. Its our first day here all week! I have lots to get caught up on. I am also going to attempt putting her babybook together. I am not a scrapbooker but the one I got for her is kind of scrapbookish. Its a Susan Branch, you know the lady that does the precious cards, illustration. I liked it because it looks real old-fashioned and has a lot of paper and cut outs already with it. Always looking for a good deal like that! I have been putting all the memory stuff in the box to do later and now the box is too full to close. I am thinking I need to get with it and write stuff down before I forget it. I know that sounds bad, but I have already forgotten so many things with Ty and he is only two years old! It all goes by so fast! Trent is going to come get Ty for a haircut later so that is probably when I will make a go of it. I have to plan chores around where he is going to be and what he is going to be doing because he is an age that needs constant attention. I wonder if other mom's do things the way I do or if I am just wierd on my schedule, or lack of schedule sometimes! There is no set way so you just have to figure out what works best for you I guess. Well on with the day!

Okay, I think its working! Well Trent's stints (sp?) came out and everything looked good. He said he can breathe so well that it hurts! My mother and father-in-law took Ty this afternoon to Seminole where my sister-in-law and her family live to see them and watch the kids games. I feel so free! I have already been to one of my favorite stores, JoAnn's Fabrics, which I hardly ever visit anymore because it is such a chore to go anywhere with a toddler and an infant. I am about to go to Wal-mart for a few things and to get Olivia's three month picture made. I have always done Penney's in the past but you just get so many and for every month I would rather spend less and get something simple. She is looking so big already and so pretty! It looks like her eyes are going to stay blue! I am posting some pictures from when she was first born but hoping to get some more recent ones up tonight. Trent and I are planning an evening of relaxation in our new leather recliners! We are turning into such old people. We even have our designated seats like Archie and Edith! So far he's not real grouchy about it though! I may just even cook tonight! We are having our first date since Olivia has been born without her on Saturday night. I can't wait. I think everyone needs one regularly to stay healthy in their marriage and sane as parents! We might actually experience some winter weather tommorrow so I think I am going to put a roast on. Its my favorite meal and smells so good in the winter!

Busy Mamma

Busy Mamma

I hope this actually works. I am so not technically advanced! I have so many friends who do this and it makes me feel so much more connected to them. Especially since the majoritiy of my friends ae not where I live now and I don't get to see or talk to them real often. Well today is about to get started and I am already a 'busy mom'!! I am about to go get Trent for his follow up appointment after having endoscopic sinus surgery. I hope it goes okay. I have been hurting for him through the whole thing and am ready for him to feel better. Also doing errands with the mother-in-law, such a special lady. Got to get the DVD player fixed in my car before my trip spring break among other things. Well feel free to give feed back on this sight. Lisa
