25 Random Things about...

Corrie:
1. I am an only child
2. I tend to wear my feelings on my sleeve
3. I care a little too much about what people think of me
4. I am NOT detailed oriented - tedious things bother me :)
5. I love to read - mostly novels not so much self help or how to's - I love books where my imagination can run wild!
6. I want to learn how to sew - anyone want to help me learn?!
7. I have a degree in social work, but during my last semester in college I realized that social work is NOT something I wanted to do for the rest of my life...so now I'm getting my teaching certificate (5 years later)
8. I am afraid of disappointing people
9. My mom is one of my bestest friends
10. I could eat mac-n-cheese for dinner for the rest of my life and probably be happy, I may weigh a ton but I would be happy!
11. I desire a closer relationship with God but sometimes I just don't know how to get there
12. I pick things up off the floor with my toes :)
13. I met Sal in Bible School, had a mad crazy crush on him but never told him
14. I have only a few very close friends that I allow myself to be vulnerable with
15. I absolutely adore my husband, he's amazing, kind, loving, loyal and so funny
16. I have wonderful inlaws (parents and siblings) - it took a while to get where we are today but I am glad we stuck it out to get to know eachother better
17. Sal and I tried for six months before we found out we were pregnant with Isaac - it was the longest six months of my life
18. I LOVED being pregnant - I had an amazing pregnancy with Isaac, I was never sick and I even had a pretty good labor. I hope the others are that easy!
19. I was born in Colorado
20. I am really fast at 10-key and typing
21. I like things to be in order- even though I am not detail oriented I like things to be in their place, when things are out of order it drives me nuts (like the piles of laundry that have to be done)
22. My husband leaves empty boxes of things in the refrigerator just to bug me (pizza boxes, coke boxes) he gets a kick out of irritating me
23. I need down time each day - not much on going out all the time, I like to be home with my family doing family things
24. I love chick flicks - I hate suspense/drama/scary movies, some suspense and drama is ok but no fighting and blood and guts, no thank you!
25. I want more than anything to be a good wife, mom, and friend

Biased...

When Sal has his days off I always find new pictures of our little boy on my computer...I know I'm biased but he is absolutely teh most beautiful little boy ever!!!

Are you lookin' at me?

So Sweet, so calm for now...

(don't be fooled!)

Chili - Yummy!

Tonight we had chili for dinner - I found this great super easy recipe on the Kraft website. **Isaac has now completely rejected any and all baby food, infact he won't even eat anything that is on a spoon - go figure! If he can't pick it up with his fingers and feed himself, he's not eating it. So tonight he ate chili with us!!**

Hey Moms, what did you feed your little one when they started to eat solids? I know he can eat just about anything we eat, but we need some ideas as to what may be the best for Isaac :) Leave a comment with your ideas!!!

Isaac and Ace

While we were in Austin we visited our friends Zach, Cheri, and Caleb!!! They have this huge cat, Ace. Isaac has seen a cat before but probably has never had the chance to come into close contact with one. Needless to say he was pretty amazed by Ace, and Ace was so gentle, he just let Isaac pet him, and follow him around.

Thanks Zach and Cheri for having us over! We really enjoyed our visit and look forward to many more!! We love you guys!

Yee Haw Cowboy!

Last weekend, we visited Austin. Our nephews (Isaac's cousins) came and visited and Zack wore his cowboy hat. Sal thought it would be funny to see how big his hat was on Isaac....well as you can see, it wasn't all that big, it actually fit perfectly on his head. What do you think that says about the size of Isaac's head? He 's been in the 80th percentile in his head size...I guess this is just more confirmation. Isaac fits into his 12yr old cousin's hat...sheesh!

NO MORE COWBOY HAT!!!

Our Boy!

Our Sweet Boy is getting so big!

Mommy & Isaac....yeah he doesn't really look like me huh? Maybe the next one will heehee!
(And NO I am NOT pregnant)

Hey Dude! You lookin at me?

Daddy's look alike! The two most handsome men I know!!!
