Teen Mom tribute !

What up T ??


for those of you that have not had the privilege of watching Teen Mom it's a show on MTV about - wait....can you guess ?? Teen Mom's !! it is absolutely hilarious and the families are beyond dysfunctional and will make you feel like your family is doing everything right! one of the dad's name is Tyler and he always wears his hat crooked so Maj wanted to give a shout out to him.


this pic is blurry but just so cute b/c Maj adores his big brother and just stares at him with the sweetest look on his face!!

I am so behind with pics and posts that I dont know where to begin- so I won't- that is it for today- back to work !!

Still here!

Yes I know it's been over a month since my last post but there is so much going on right now that I still don't have time to really catch up :( this pic will have to do for right now- Maj is growing so fast and is already 5 months old! how did that happen??? He adores his big brother and H told Major the other day that he was his "best bud" - awwwwwww- sweetness !!

Pic Post

apparently this is the way all the cool kids ride their "mercycle's" ( that is Houston speak for motorcycle and it's just too cute to correct him :) - no shirt and a spidey mask half on- works for me.....( but no I wont be riding that way :) the HOA might have some negative things to say about that !




Who me ????


this one is blurry but just too precious to not post


this one cracks me up b/c it looks like he's saying to Sophie "giraffe you are going down" !!


Maj sticking his tongue out at me- quick look at the playroom in the background b/c it is NEVER that clean during the day :)

This is....

This is what sweetness looks like even after 4 shots that morning :(



This is what brotherly love looks like ( that is H's hand around Major's arm :)
we were all sitting in H's bed reading books and watching Animal Planet and H just grabbed Major's hand and held it while we were reading ...soooooo sweet !





and finally...This is what a hostile work environment looks like when you work at home with a very energetic and imaginative 4 year old :)



yes I know it's not a flattering pic of me at all but at that point of the day I had been up since about 5:30 that morning,had been to the Dr's office with a very unhappy 4 month old and very active 4 yr old that wanted to touch everything in the Dr's waiting room and exam room- Yuck!! and then came home to work and try to soothe a tired, mad about getting shots baby and entertain a wild monkey-no glamour shots here people-it's all about keeping it real on this blog :)

3 months old!

This sweet face is why it takes me all day to get anything done :) He is amazing!!

Major you are 3 months old now and here's a little of what you are doing these days:

* you have been sleeping through the night since you were 8 1/2 weeks old ( mommy thanks you for that :)

* you smile and laugh all the time

* you hate to have your bottle taken away to burp

* you love when mommy makes quack noises (which I have been known to do in public just to make you smile)

* your favorite toys are your crinkly blue elephant and Morti Moose

* you like the Bumbo b/c you can see what's going on around you

* you absolutely LOVE bath time and have fun in the water with your big brother

* you greet me every morning with the biggest smile ( are you really that happy to see me or do you just know that food is coming :)

* you are still sleeping in mommy and daddy's room and I am in no hurry for you to leave anytime soon

* you like story time and kick your feet and "talk" when we read Goodnight Moon before bed each night

* you love going for walks in the jogging stroller and being outside

* you are all smiles when sissy gets home from school in the afternoons and talks to you

I'm sure there are more but these are the things that come to mind now- We love you so much Major Moo!!

Just because

he's sooooooo cute !!! look at that smile- ahhhhhh- I melt !!

Major thinks mommy is so funny!







Maj likes to read already- books with animals are his favorite right now :)

New pics

Don't have much time to write anything today but I have some new really cute pics of Maj.

Maj thinking about his next meal

Maj just being his cute self!

Easter !

I finally got a picture of all three of my kiddos !! I didnt think it would ever happen-seriously...it only took 9 weeks :) Kels must have make up on and her hair done to even be considered for a picture and she showers as soon as she gets home from school so........unless they are all three up and dressed and picture ready at 7:30 am before she leaves for school a pic of all three of them was starting to look like an impossible feat. I dont know about you other moms but I am doing good some days to even be dressed myself by noon so to have H and Maj pic appropriate that early was not happening. Then Sunday before last we took Major to church for the first time and I thought I might get a pic them- wrong again...so as soon as we got home from church on Easter ( and I mean we had barely walked in the door) I made all three of them stop to take a picture. I'ts not the best quality b/c I forgot to turn the kitchen light on and I took it with my phone but no one was crying and they were all dressed so I took advantage :) who knows how long it will be before I get another one !

Say Cheese !

Major is starting to smile and it's the cutest thing ever !!! He makes me melt :) I love love love this boy !

Major's girl !

This is Major with his future wife Brinley :) she is the daughter of our friends Jeff and Kim and we have mutually decided that Brinley will either marry Major ( or possibly Houston if she has a thing for older men - HA) This was Major's first trip to church and we had to get a pic of he and Brinley after the service- Major did great for his first time-He stayed awake the entire time though so between trying to keep Major and Houston quiet....well, let's just say don't quiz me on what the sermon was about :) have a great week-

Monkey see Monkey Do !

Last Friday afternoon we had a birthday party to attend and while I was getting ready ( i.e. looking for something to wear that didn't need to be ironed and had no spit up on it :) Houston decided he would try and shave like daddy does- however he failed to realize that his lips do not have hair- here is the result....




Man do lips bleed a long time-sheeshhhhh- tons of toilet paper strips later and we finally had to put a Diego bandaid on it. somehow that made it all better :)

Tired but happy !

Well I just realized that it has been almost a month to the day since I posted last- what can I say- it's been busy here. Kels has been on spring break this week and has been a huge help to me- probably not what she would have chosen to do this week, but I have had fun being around her and hope she hasn't suffered to bad :) This was also my first week back to work part time- I am only working 4 hrs a day Mon-Thursday and let's just say my house is showing it- the kids have all eaten and everyone has clean clothes so I guess I did alright for my first week back ! Major is growing so much every day- he's turning in to quite a chunk right before our eyes- he's actually getting rolls on his once quite skinny legs- I love me a chunky baby :) Houston has accepted his role of big brother so much better than I even anticipated- he loves "his Major" and gives him his binky and loves to hold him..well that's all the time I have for catching up- I have a few minutes to grab a bath so I will leave you with some pics- they were taken with my phone so they may not be the best quality but I think you can still get the idea of how incredibly cute he is.

5 hours

5 hours ....what is this you ask? Is it the amount of time it takes me to complete a simple task at home some days? Perhaps but no that is not the answer...is it the time needed to cook a meal? Well again perhaps it could be but if you know me at all then you know I didn't cook much before a newborn so I am not
doing a lot of cooking right now either. 5 hours my friends is the amount of time my sweet Major slept at one time last night ! I was so pumped ( after I woke in a panic and realized it had been 5 hours but then heard his sweet breathing and ddecided I could just be happy ) let's see if he can pull a repeat performance tonight!

I'm back....finally!

I realize it's been 2 weeks since my last post and since I had gotten so good about posting that is longer than usual for me. However, I have three very good reasons for being absent and their names are Kels, Houston and Major :) All is going very good at the Thomas household... Major slept really good last night and is sleeping on my lap right now so it was either eat lunch or blog so I thought I would take advantage of the time to post a couple of quick things ( yes you 3 or 4 readers of mine should feel very privileged that I picked blogging over lunch :)

Houston and Major went to the Dr yesterday for their 4yr and 2 week check-ups...
H-man weighs 39 lbs and is 3 1/2 ft tall and Major is up to 8 lbs and is still about 20 1/4 inches ( although he wouldn't quite cooperate stretching out so he might be a little longer )- H got 3 shots and Major got blood drawn from his heel :( so it was a long, tiring appointment on everyone- they both did great though and Houston didn't even cry until the 3rd and final shot. Afterwards it was Sonic for Houston and Daddy and Starbuck's for Mommy ( but seriously if they made something bigger than a Venti I would have gotten it) - Major slept through all of our stops after the Dr. and H was seriously concerned that he didn't get a slushy as well so I had to reassure him that even if he had been awake he still wasn't quite big enough for a slushy just yet :) After a final stop at HEB for cake mix and a few other things that I had forgotten on previous trips to Target, Wal-mart and HEB over the weekend ( how does that happen every week ??) we finally made it home and I made cupcakes to send to school with H today to celebrate his birthday which was this past saturday.

I also realized that I never finished my birth story so here goes- I was dilated to a 4 upon arriving to the hospital- I knew I had to have a bag of fluids before I could get my epidural- the nurse couldn't start my IV ( I was a bit dehydrated and my vein kept "rolling" -yes it felt as good as it sounds :( finally she was able to get it in and I got my bag of saline and then the anesthesiologist took about 10 minutes of digging in my back to get my epidural (which was worth every minute though once it was finally in)...after all of that they broke my water which sent me from a 4 to an 8 1/2 in less than 45 minutes...another 15 minutes after that I was a 10 and was ready to begin pushing- not even 5 minutes of pushing and Major Reid Thomas was here!!!! the cord was wrapped around his neck once and his leg which prevented him from moving down faster or he might have been out in about a minute. He is the sweetest baby and we are enjoying him every minute of every day!!! Houston and Kels both adore him and H proudly proclaims that Major is his "best friend" :) guess this was a little more than a few "quick things" but I dont know when I will make it back to the computer- next time I promise some new pics- have a great week!

Here he is!!!!

Here are some pics of our newest sweetie! We are biased of course but all think he is absolutely perfect and soooo handsome !!!

Major Reid Thomas has arrived !

After waking at 6:00 am this morning with what seemed like bad cramps( but turned out to be contractions-yes it's my third you would think I would know by now but every pregnancy and labor is different-don't judge:), I decided to time them and they were coming about 5-6 minutes apart. I woke the hubs and told him I thought we should get dressed, callwd my mom and dad so my dad could stay with Houston and Kels could ride to the hospital with my mom. By the time we got to round rock the traffic was at a standstill and I was having contractions every 3 minutes....WHAT? Where did those 8-9 minute apart contractions go you are supposed to start with ? I wasn't worried about a highway baby as much as -I wanted to make sure - got to the hospital in time to get my epidural! Well I did make it to the hospital in time and Major was born at 11:35. He was 7lbs 8 oz and 20 1/4 inches long and perfect! We are blissfully happy and so in love ! Part 2 of the labor story to come later with pics -time to feed :)

On our way !

We are on our way to the hospital- I will try and post an update from there later- stay tuned :)
