Flashback Friday!

I got this idea from my friend, Christen's blog! Here's the flashback photo for the week...

Halloween 2006!!

My first year up in Mesquite - all my buddies came to visit and go to a Halloween party that my roommate, Lisa, was having! So fun! Danny and I had only been dating for about 3 months!

Busy busy weekend!

We had our first out of town trip this past weekend! It went well! We got to see so many friends! The only thing I can really complain about is that I did a HORRIBLE job of taking pictures! I didn't even get one of the 3 of us at the wedding we went to! Ruston slept pretty much the whole way in the car. We had to pull over every once in a while to eat though.

On Friday we drove into Mesquite and visited my old school. It was so great to see everyone I used to work with and for them to meet Ruston. I miss you guys sooo much! Next time I'll make sure I have more time to actually talk to you guys! :)

Friday night Danny had rehearsal and we went to rehearsal dinner. It was sooo cold outside! I kept Ruston wrapped tight in a blanket and he slept the whole time.

Saturday morning I headed to Lewisville to meet my bestie, Leslie and her little girl Addy. Addy is getting soooo big! I'm so mad we didn't get a picture of them together. We had a good time catching up and having yummy lunch at Chili's. Leslie, give Addy a kiss from me!! :)

We got back to the hotel in Decatur just in time to get ourselves dressed and headed to the church. The wedding was really fun! Did you guys see the YouTube video this summer of the wedding where the bridesmaids and groomsmen danced down the aisle to the Chris Brown song?? Well, they did that for James and Heather's wedding! Danny was so nervous, but he did good! I video'ed it.....Danny wouldn't let me post it on here, but if you email me, I might be able to slip it to you. haha

On our way home Sunday, we stopped in Hurst to visit more of Ruston's family. His aunt Julie and cousin Ryanne kept fighting over who's turn it was to hold him! :)

What a looooooong day!

We had quite a long day this past Tuesday! It started out that morning with Ruston's one month appointment. Everything looked good....he is at an even 10 pounds, and 21 3/4 inches long. It was a pretty messy visit....I've been using both newborn and size 1 diapers on him the past couple days....newborn are really too small and size 1 are just a little too big. Well, I've decided after this appointment that it's time for size 1!! After the doctor weighed Ruston, I picked him up and held him. He decided that it was time to fill his diaper...it filled all the way to the top, out the back and all over my shirt and jeans. Let me tell you, I smelled lovely! I cleaned it up the best I could with his wipes and waited for the nurse to come in for his shot. :( He started crying when she put the cold wipe on him! haha What an awful cry after the shot....I am NOT looking forward to next month when he gets 4! He was kicking and squirming after she gave it to him, so she couldn't get the bandaid on well. He ended up getting blood all down the other side of my clothes. I'm going to have to remember to pack myself a change of clothes in the diaper bag too!!

Later that day we went down to visit Mimi at the airport. One of my former students in Mesquite sent me his "Flat Stanley" for vacation. We thought Stanley would enjoy being in an airplane. :)

After we left the airport, we went out to the hay field. Ruston got to ride the tractor with his Daddy for the first time. He slept the whole time, but I'm sure he loved it! Have you heard the song, "Big Green Tractor" by Jason Aldean? That song reminds me of Danny, so it's been my ringtone for him on my phone for quite a while. Now we've realized that when he's crying and really upset, we can play that song and he stops!! It's the weirdest thing! I think he's destined to love big, green tractors. :)

Ruston's day wasn't over yet...as if it hadn't been long enough! We went to visit Auntie Megan and Kenzie that night. Kenzie kept giving him kisses and calling him her "brudder." :) I think that's a hint for you Auntie Megan!!

Going private....

I've decided that I'm going to make this blog private. It's scary to think that anyone can just be looking at our pictures and what we're writing. Soooo...I know it will be more difficult for all of you...you'll have to create a username and password in order to read the blog....but I think it's best. You'll get an email invitation soon! :)

Ruston is 4 weeks old!

Ruston is 4 weeks old! I can not believe how quickly the time goes by! Here is he taking a nap with his fur brother. Diesel has to know what's going on with him at all times. He loves to lay by him.

Ruston lost his belly button this week! He's an inny! :)
