This weekend has been SO FUN! We attended two birthday parties and Parker got to play and eat lots of cake. I will start by posting pictures of the birthday boys and their fun days and then I will post pictures of Parker after each birthday boy!
Sean was so excited about all of his gifts, especially the bike!
This was Parker's first time on a swing, he was happy at first but after a minute he was over it.
Cayne was so adorable, and is definitely 100% BOY. I wish we could have gotten a picture of Cayne and Parker together but he was on the move!
Here is my little man, hanging out with his pal Biscuit (Obviously not his real name)
I hope you all had a great weekend! I'll be back tomorrow with McFatty Monday, lets start the week off right! Good night bloggy friends!

I know you're wondering why I have pictures of my fridge right? Well Kaite from Cleared for Takeoff wrote a post about her fridge and its contents so of course I had to participate!
I hope you all enjoy a peek into my fridge and after you've seen mine, go take a peek at Katie's!

Well thats my fridge! Don't forget to pop over and visit Kaite to see her fridge and maybe add yours!

Tonight was so fun! I didn't wear my dress or get a fancy but i did get to wear my cute new shorts and my favorite pink shirt. Overall I felt pretty.
We dropped Parker off at Bebe and T-Paw's house and headed to Nacogdoches. Michael decided on clear Springs which was delicious. I ate way too much but it was SO worth it. After dinner we drove back to Lufkin and then drove around town listening to the Lufkin game. I'll post tomorrow about Texas and high school football. After we drove for a few minutes, we decided we missed our kiddo so we went and got him. Now we're home and Parker is awake but I can tell he is exhausted. I think it is time for night night. Sleep tight bloggy friends!

I’m being bad today. Well not totally bad, just a little bad. I’ve done all of my daily reports and duties here at my j. o. b. and now I am tired of working. I know it is only 10:30 but I don’t care! We all need a break every now and then right? So instead of grabbing my coffee and cell phone to go sit in the break room and watch Regis and Kelly or The View, I am using this time to write. I love my blog; it gives me a place to write about pretty much anything that comes to mind. I can over share and brag about my baby to my hearts content, and if anyone doesn’t like it they simply can click the X!
I am considering making the switch to Word Press but I haven’t fully committed. I am afraid! I like the look of Word Press and have heard great things about it but I guess it's the unknown keeping me from going forward. I also want my own domain so that when you come to my fabulous blog it will say www.oneblessedmomma.com. Wouldn’t that be fancy? I think so. Only problem is that I’m a cheapo and am worried I’ll have buyer’s remorse for spending money every mo/yr for my own domain name. Anyone have any thoughts?
I plan to keep on blogging no matter what because it's an outlet for me and also a way to show Parker his life in another way. I like to think that more people will read and will be interested in my life. Boy that sounds conceded and selfish, I’m so not! Really though, I’d love to know that I have helped or inspired other women with my words, even if I do have 50 grammatical errors and a ton of run on sentences. I’ve never claimed to be some fancy pants writer with perfect sentence structure, I just love to write!
There are a TON of blogs out there and not just momma blogs either. I'm glad I stumbled upon TMB (GO VOTE FOR ME) because I have been inspired by some awesome women! Blair, Katie and Whitney are a few of my faves. You totally need to clicky on each of their names to check them out. I feel like a total stalker because I check their blogs everyday…sometimes more than once and I’m sure they know about it. I even go back and read their archives ::Gasp:: I have no shame, they are awesome and I always get something from their posts whether it be a laugh or a fit of jealousy over how creative they are. Not to mention that they all have ADORABLE babes, I could gush over their babies as much as I gush over my own! So stinkin cute.
Anywho, I’m getting off track. I have blogged for a long time here and there, when I started though it was called a journal. My first blog was on LiveJournal.com and it was all about boys and school DRAMA! I gushed about my boyfriend and how in love I was, and then I cried about how my heart was broken when we broke up. After a long hiatus I started a new blog on Xanga. I was a senior and therefore I wrote a lot about school, graduation and college. Add a little boy drama to the mix and you have my senior year on the interwebs. I actually met my husband on that blog; it all started with one little comment. I kept that site for a while until I got bored with it and moved on to Myspace and Facebook, but I always come back to blogging.
I started this blog thinking that I’d just write my day to day happenings not thinking that it would turn in to anything, but now as I look back I can see my life as a newlywed and then most of my pregnancy and now Parker’s life and my life as a momma. I wish I would have been better about writing everything that was happening while I was pregnant so that I could go back and say “Oh God I remember that!” I was a lazy blogger but I’m making up for it now. I want to make sure that I write everything down, not just the important stuff. That way when Parker is older and I miss the old days, I can look back and remember them.
A lady I work with just informed me that they miss Parker. She said I need to bring him up here so they can see him again! I love that. I think it is so sweet that my co-workers want to see my baby. I told them that on his birthday, after his haircut, I would do my best to bring him up here so that they can see him and his new do.
In 15 days my baby will be a toddler…I will no longer be a “new” momma. I’m going to be a momma to a walking talking little boy. I’m not ready, it seems like yesterday I was swaddling him and encouraging him to lift his head up. Now he doesn’t want any covers and he whips his head around at everything because he must know what is going on around him at all times. I always get so excited when he does something new, and when he says something new. I swear this morning after he sneezed he said Bless You after I said it. I actually stopped what I was doing and looked at him and then like a dork said “bless you Parker, can you say bless you?” I fully expected him to say it again. He didn’t, but I was still amazed, I wish I had gotten it on video. My son is amazing; he’s just growing up to fast.
Alright friends, I have had a longer break than I should have so I better get back to work. I hope that everyone has a great Thursday!

This morning as I stepped on the scale, I didn't expect to see much of a difference. I didn't expect to be happy about what I saw, I really thought I would just say "OK good job keep on going" but this morning when I stepped on the scale and peeked down at the numbers...I was so happy. I lost 2 more pounds! I am so excited because now I can say I have reached my pre-pregnancy goal. not by much but hey, every pound counts. I am now at 154.5 and I hope to keep bringing it down. Oh and I can't give the virus all of the credit, I like to think I did a good job with my meals this week, or lack there of...
Well I'm in a hurry this morning so I will post more later! Happy Monday!

I am so thankful that the stomach virus that Parker got was only a 24 hour virus and that he is no longer suffering diarrhea, puking and fever. I am not thankful however, for getting up at 4 this morning to do just that. Throwing up the contents of my stomach, including the acid that had been trying to escape via my esophagus all night was not fun. Go me for making taco soup and using an entire can of green chilies, I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy food y'all but it was SO good...not so much the second time though.
So I have been up off an on to go to the bathroom and take care of business and then head back to bed to feel like I might throw up again at any moment. I'm just glad my fever broke because now, instead of shivering under the covers I am sweating like a pig. Joy.
Michael told me not to be offended because he wasn't going to touch me for 24 hours or sleep in our room tonight I told him that I didn't want him to have to deal with this either so I was ok with that...last time was terrible enough.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend, I'm going to go lay back down and try to get to feeling better.

Because my poor kid started throwing up at 2 this morning and had fever. I slept in his room so that I would be there to try to avoid anymore baths and sheet changes. He ended up on the futon with me which was better, every time he started to act like he needed to throw up I was there with a towel and rubbing his back.
I just had to give him a bath because as I was writing this he had diarrhea coming out of his diaper in all directions. I am not trying to gross y'all out but this had to be one of the worst so far, it smelled awful and it was all over him and the floor. So into the tub he went and now he is clean and happy.
He is on a Pedialyte and saltine cracker diet this morning, I hope he'll keep them down.
I've been slacking on my posts this week and I'm sorry but life happens and sometimes we just don't have time! I'll be adding my Wordless Wednesday picture at the bottom of today's post.
Alright people so I have really been considering becoming a seller on Etsy. I am so addicted to Etsy it is ridiculous. I lurve it and I would spend every penny I made on there if I had no responsibility. I love(d) to make pillows once upon a time, and I like to make signs and things like that. A friend of Michael's made Parker a door sign for the hospital that matches his room and it hangs on his bedroom door now. I know I could make those and they would be super cute. I may make one or two (boy and girl) open a shop and then see how I do with those, if they sell quickly I will make more, if they don't sell I will just give them to whoever I made them for! We'll see, I'll make sure to keep y'all posted on this.
On to Wordless Wednesday. This was taken this morning when I woke up.

Slowly but surely
The pounds are coming off. I was a little shocked to see that I had actually LOST this week and not gained. I thought that the cheeseburger I had on my date night with Jennifer and my Aunt Donna would have put me back a square one! I lost another 2 and a half pounds bringing me to 156.5 and while I don’t feel any different and I certainly don’t look any different, I was and am happy to see the number dropping, even if it is dropping slowly. Before I got pregnant I was at 155, so I am slowly getting to my pre baby weight goal. After I have reached that one I will start on the pre marriage weight goal. Eventually I hope to surpass all of these goals and get down to my pre college weight. We’ll see.
I went shopping with Granny this weekend; she bought me a dress for church/work. I am happy with it and I can’t wait to wear it out because I feel slim and trim in it. There was another one I wanted REALLY badly but she was buying and she liked this one best… I was sad because it was the only one left and it was only $25 but I had no moola. Oh well maybe next time I go they’ll have something similar. I will try to get a picture of it on Sunday, because for those who don’t know me…I’m not a dress wearer.
I have been thinking about babies a lot lately… I know we definitely are not ready for another kiddo yet and we do not plan on having a sibling for Parker any time soon, but I can’t help it. I think about being pregnant and feeling Parker rolling and kicking, I remember the feeling that came over me whenever I saw him for the first time and our first week home with him. Those were such precious moments and I will never forget them…as Parker gets closer and closer to his first birthday I find myself missing those days. He is growing so fast and learning even faster! I am amazed every single day y’all! He said his name this weekend twice! I was stunned…he also said crap but that was my fault for being a blabber mouth and not thinking about my little imitator right there listening to what I was saying and watching how I formed the word.
I know I don’t usually do this but here are Parker’s 11 month milestones and such.
- Crawling like a champ
- Walking in a walker or while holding someone’s hand
- Eating table food
- Drinking from a sippy cup
- Sleeping through the night
- Giving hugs with a little pat on the back
- Giving kisses (I think this is what he is doing)
- Blowing kisses
- Waving Bye Bye
- Says: Mama, Mom, Dada, Daddy, Baby, Duck, Hey, Hi,Bye, GiGi, MiMi, PaPa, Poo Poo, Da with arms out (All done), Parker (only twice), Thank you (not very clearly).
- Weighs 24.5 pounds
- Wears 18-24 month clothes and size 4 shoes
Like I said AH-MA-ZING right?! I know I am bragging on my baby but hey, I’m his momma I’m supposed to brag about him. You other mommas know how it is.
So anyway, mine and Michael’s 5 year day we met anniversary is on Thursday. I think we might be taking Parker to spend the night with GiGi and PawPaw on Friday night. It will be nice to have some alone time, it won’t be the romantic evening I imagined but it will still be an evening to ourselves.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday and I will see y’all tomorrow!
A Nap, A Date and A Cool Breeze...That's What I Want
I truly believe that if it was mandatory for everyone to have a little cot with a blanket and pillow in their office and take a 30 minute nap everyday that everyone would be so much more productive. I mean c’mon wouldn’t you rather have happy rested employees than have grouchy ones that are gulping down coffee all day long? I have a cup of coffee at my desk right now, it is white chocolate Starbucks goodness and I am so glad I didn’t deprive myself this morning for the sake of losing weight. I allow myself one coffee a week, at work or from Starbucks and I try to only drink water or milk otherwise. Anyway my point is that I woke up this morning when my alarm went off at 6:15 but didn’t actually get up until 6:40. I was dragging ass all morning and I still feel like hell. My eyes hurt my back hurts I’m SO TIRED and not even the glorious white chocolate mocha can bring me out of this morning funk. I want to crawl back into my bed and sleep until noon…and when I wake up I want to veg out in Michael’s cushy recliner and read. Sounds like a great plan to me.
So while I’m sitting here sipping my coffee I am daydreaming of me and Michael at a spa hotel getting massages. I can smell the oil or lotion or whatever it is that they use. I’ve never had a massage before so I can only guess, Michael said they are awesome. There is a really nice spa hotel in Austin that I wanted to go to on our honeymoon; it was super nice and so pretty. Thursday is the 5th anniversary of the day we met. The day we decided we wanted to be boyfriend/girlfriend, he says now that we’re married it doesn’t count but I think it does. If we didn’t have that anniversary there would be no wedding anniversary, right ladies?! I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. Anyway, I wish we could go to that hotel for the weekend, it would be SO nice to get away just Michael and me.
I know I’m not the only girl out there who still gets butterflies in her stomach when she thinks about her husband. I still get excited to see him when I leave work to go home, I still want to hold his hand and snuggle up together. I’m still attracted to him and think he is super hot! He is it for me, he always has been.
There is nothing like being gone all weekend and then coming home and getting a big hug and kiss from the one you love.
Is anyone else ready to feel the cool breeze of fall with just a hint of winter biting at your nose? I know I am, this summer has been blazing and is making me crave fall even more than usual. Fall is my favorite time of year, I can put my fall wreath that I made on the front door, and I can get mums and a few pumpkins for the front porch. I can’t wait to be able to decorate the house and get ready for Thanksgiving.
Parker is going to be old enough this year to try the delicious foods and I wonder what he’ll like and dislike. Of course it will be hunting season and Delana and I will go on our yearly canton trip(s) to get Christmas shopping done while the men are gone. I always get my decorating done in the days following Thanksgiving, this year I will be going through boxes and trying to sort everything out. I’ll be switching to plastic balls so that my oh so curious child doesn’t break anything. The Christmas tree was only a couple of feet from where the real tree fell on to our house and it looked like it didn’t move an inch during the tornado so hopefully all of my ornaments made it intact. My small tree on the other hand, did not stay standing, and I have no idea how the beautiful primitive ornaments on that tree did…I hope we find that they made it as well. As for the actual Christmas trees, I may be looking for new ones because they’ve been in the carport and have been exposed to the weather since last December.

I am SO MAD! I wrote my post at work today and planned on posting it this afternoon when I got home from work, well I checked my home email to copy the post and guess what! It wasn't there! I have no idea where it is...I guess I could post it tomorrow and take out the parts that actually had to do with McFatty Monday.
Alright so I am pleased this Monday because I got on the scale and I lost 2 1/2 more pounds! So that gives me a total of 3 1/2 pounds lost YAY!
I am sitting here watching Parker "eat" his dinner...I cut up about 7 or 8 raviolis giving him 14 or 16 pieces, well he ate probably 5 of the pieces and began to pick them up one at a time and dropping them on the floor. Lovely. He is now banging on his tray and blowing spit bubbles.
Well I better go, I will add my original post tomorrow!

As always, when Parker and I go to Houston to visit my family I am so excited to get down there and see everyone that the drive down seems short. I always drag around on Sunday whenever it is time for me to pack the car and get Parker ready because the drive back seems to take forever!
I knew I should have left my mom's house when Parker started getting sleepy because I knew he'd take a long nap...I decided to let him nap before we left. We got to Cleveland before he started getting uncomfortable. I would hear a whine or two out of him every 5 or 10 minutes but when we got to Livingston he had had enough of being in the car and wanted me to know about it. Livingston is about 30 or 45 minutes away from Lufkin so as you can imagine, I was doing everything I could think of to get him to stop crying. I sang every song I could think of, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Twinkle Twinkle, the raindrop song, ABCs...you get the picture. Nothing helped, I talked to him and told him we would be there as soon as we could and that he was going to get to see Daddy and GiGi and PawPaw...didn't phase him at all. I finally got a phone call from my Granny and I put her on speaker phone so Parker could hear her and VIOLA! Parker stopped crying! Of course it didn't last because Granny had to get off of the phone. So I drove until I got to Corrigan with a cranky crying kiddo and decided to call Daddy. I knew if Parker could talk to Michael he would stop crying. I called him, put the phone on speaker, locked it and gave it to Parker. It was AWESOME, for about 10 minutes he was happy and listening to Michael talk, he would occasionally add a da-da-da to the conversation, it was so sweet. I was starting to feel relief when I heard these words not spoken by Michael "The number cannot be completed as dialed, please hang up and try again." Oh crap...he unlocked the phone and was dialing numbers. So after trying and failing to get Parker to give me the phone back i just let it be. He started crying again when we got to Diboll but thank the Lord we were almost to GiGi and PawPaw's house.
I think I will plan the next trip home during nap time.

So Parker's party is in just 4 short weeks. I have the guest list, the pavilion at the park reserved, the plates, table cloths and junk for goodie bags bought. I have the banner, invitations and sticker files from Etsy on my computer ready to be printed off, I have the cakes all planned out and can't wait to see how they turn out. All I have left to do is buy the goodies bags, plastic forks, napkins and possibly the hamburger patties if we decide to grill. I need to send my invitation order to Snapfish and print out the banner and stickers.
I think I have it all figured out. I also found a cute ride on toy that we might be getting Parker but we aren't sure yet.
These ADORABLE designs are from sweet papers
She is awesome and did a great job!
Here is her blog

Thats me! I have been so out of it lately, which explains the lack of McFatty Monday and anything else going on around here. So let me go ahead and give y'all a little update!
McFatty Monday:
I have lost...wait for it....wait for it....ONE POUND! I should be happy but I don't feel like I've made any progress. Anywho I am ready for the "cool" weather to begin PSH this is Texas and I know I have a while to wait but hopefully we'll get a break from this 100 degree weather soon. I'll be more inclined to go out and walk, possibly run at some point, once I know I won't pass out from heat exhaustion. I know what y'all are thinking, gosh Krista why not go out in the evening when it cools off? Well, I would but I am afraid...I don't live in the nicest of neighborhoods, and also it was 93 degrees at 8pm.
Not So Wordless Wednesday:
Regular Update:
I think we're all pretty much over being sick YAY! We're still coughing a little bit but otherwise we're doing well. Nothing to exciting has really been going on around here except that my little baby is almost ONE YEAR OLD ::sob:: So yesterday was the 10th AKA Parker's 11 Month Day and it hit me that I didn't have any plans set in stone for his party! So I was sitting at work today and started looking up party stuff on Etsy (hello where else would I look) and I found the most adorable stuff! I don't have an actual theme but I have a color scheme. I will post the pictures of his party stuff later. Here is my little baby at 11 months old!
It is SO time for bed, so goodnight and have a great Thursday!

Why in the world do I always think of really interesting things to write about in the car? I had a topic on my mind and was writing the post in my head but of course now that I am home, I can't remember for the life of me what that topic was.
I am sitting here watching my kiddo eat his late lunch, talking to me and pushing the left over crumbs around on his tray. I love this. I love waking up and going into his room to see his peaceful face, usually I see his rump in the air first but anyway. If he isn't asleep I am sure to see his face light up and his arms fly into the air asking me to pick him up. Right now he is waving both arms in the air "growling" and shaking his head no lol I think he might be ready for some Mommy and Parker play time.
Well incase you didn't look at the time on this post and see that it is well before 5:00, I am indeed home with stinker today. He had a low grade fever but the doctor wanted to see him since he has been sick for almost 3 weeks now. She said that he has gotten over the Walking Pneumonia but now has a virus. My poor kiddo got stuck on the finger and giant q-tips shoved down his throat(blood test and strep test) all for nothing. Anyway we're going to get him back on his nebulizer and Benadryl when he needs it to make him feel as good as we can until this East Texas crud is out of his system.
So as you can see, I have changed my blog up again...I love this one, seriously. I am in the process of trying to figure out how to make my sidebar info (not the titles) the same font as my blog description (Champagne and Limousines) and I followed a Kevin and Amanda tutorial but I think that tutorial was for my blog posts only...and for some reason the text in my posts is now orange. I'm a little confused but I am going to hunt down some more tutorials and make it just right. I will not stop until I am fully satisfied with the new look so y'all be patient with me.
Alright y'all its the weekend WOO HOO time for me to sign off and spend time with the family! I'll be back on Monday!

So it is now time for bed...I know Michael will be mad that it is almost midnight and I am still blogging. I can't help it that I can be picky sometimes and I just didn't want my blog to have that "Under Construction Look" So good night all, time for me to try to get some sleep and have a good Friday. Hopefully Parker Man won't have fever in the morning.

I am trying to be creative. I like playing around with this blog design stuff and have been trying to get my blog to look a certain way but I can never get it just right. I am to cheap to pay for someone else to do it for me...so I search the internet for tutorials and try to do it myself. So here I am again with a new look, I don't know how long it will stay but for now, I like it!
Good night everyone, I hope to have a Tasty Tuesday post for you tomorrow but I'm not sure I will. I may just have to post a recipe without pictures...I'm slackin I know.
