Ryann's first REAL ouchie!

Ryann's mommy called us Sunday afternoon. She just wanted to let us know Ryann was in the ER, because she had fallen and hit her eye. She was NOT seriously injured, but it scared her mommy half to death. She was suppose to be cleaning her room and tripped and hit her face on her large magna doodle. I talked to her while she as at hospital and she seemed fine. All she told me was, "I fell, and my eye bleed." She is going to be one strong woman!!!

This is Ryann the day after it happened

On a less scary note, Aiden and I joined our mom's group and went to the zoo today. It was a TON of fun. Aiden didn't really get too interested in too many of the animals. He liked the tigers and the birds. We went into the aviary and he got to feed some of the small birds. Then we had a YUMMY lunch at Mi Cocina's.... which I think was really Aiden's favorite part.

The sweetest thing!

I, just like every mother, tell Aiden I love him ALL the time. I say if very slow I - love - YOU!! He loves it. Well, recently he has begun to mimic it; I - ah - YOU! It is the sweetest thing!! He is SO loving. He gives hugs and kisses all the time! Such a sweet baby boy!!

My big boy!

This picture makes me so sad! Would you look at that face, that is a little boy's face, where is my baby?!?! He grew up WAY to quick!! It seems like just the other day we brought that tiny baby boy home, and now would you look at him! I will say this, he is the cutest little thing I've ever seen!

Hope you're all doing well! Come by and visit with Aiden, before we know it he'll be leaving for Collage; (Texas A&M if his daddy has anything to do with it).

Happy Easter!!!!!!!!

WOW, what a wonderful holiday!! We did a LOT of celebrating! First, Saturday the kids had their first egg hunt. Aiden wasn't at all interested if he couldn't eat what was inside the egg. Ryann hunted, and hunted and hunted! I didn't realize I made 40 eggs, just for her!! Then we put our baskets out so that the Easter Bunny could fill them while we slept! Both kiddos got some goodies! I also was surprised by my wonderful husband with some cute Spring plates!
We went to church with Gamma and Papa, then spent some time at there house. We enjoyed a yummy lunch and then a very fun egg hunt! Aiden also got pretty interested in the pool. Then we went to Aunt Kay's house for our third and final egg hunt! Needless to say these kids made out like bandits!!!!!!

Hope you all enjoyed Easter as much as we did!

Check out our Easter pictures!

A Very Good Friday!

Today was Adam's off Friday. We had a really great day! Ryann and Aiden got to spend a little time with Gamma while Adam and I attended a class. We came home and cleaned both cars, while the kiddos ran through the water sprinkler! Ryann liked it, once she got use to the cold water. Aiden on the other hand was not happy about the cold water hitting him in the face!! Adam grilled some steaks and chicken and we enjoyed a nice dinner; after which Ryann and I started on our Easter cookies. Ryann really likes to help out in the kitchen. We all had a seat at the table and enjoyed decorating them!!! Rather than decorate his, Aiden just ate them!

We are really in the holiday spirit at the Nabors' house. The kiddos are going to have their first of many egg hunts tomorrow. I think we are also go to the botanic gardens and take some pictures of them in their Easter clothes.

Here are some pix of the kids having fun today!


Daddy, Ryann and Aiden relax'n outside


Aiden, "I'm outta here!"


Ryann is such a silly girl!

Spring is in the air!

Sorry it's been a while since our last post. It's taken a while to get used to Adam's new work schedule. We are still not fully adjusted, but we're working on it! I can't get good and asleep till I know he is home safe, so I'm not ready to start my day when Aiden is... it's made for some pretty interesting mornings!! Aiden and I worked in the yard today, first time since we moved in that we've had any time to put into working on the curb appeal. Aiden LOVES being out doors. He 'helped' pull weeds, but his favorite thing was to turn on the water spout and flood the flower beds. He is growing and changing so fast! He has consistently been using the potty just before bath time for about two weeks now. I can't believe my baby is already so big!!!!

We are getting ready for Easter and the famous bunny to come and visit. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Easter! It is my all time favorite holiday! I love the meaning, and the time of year, and the colors, I just LOVE it!! We are going to pick Ryann up tomorrow night. I can't wait for her to see her Easter dress, she is going to look and feel like the little princess she is!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter holiday!!!!!!

In need of a vaction...

from our weekend, how sad is that?! It started Thursday night, we had Kay take Aiden to pick up Ryann; on the way Aiden starts throwing up. So I meet Kay at her house to get the kids and head home, but couldn't get very far because Aiden was chocking on his vomit and made it unsafe to drive.... So Adam brings all the things we might need and joins us in a sleep over a Kay's house. Aiden was sick ALL NIGHT! Friday morning he wakes up feeling GREAT! So we go about our day as normal. Then Saturday late morning Ryann starts, and Aiden starts up again too. At this point it's too late to call Jenny and tell her that it isn't because of Aiden's sinus drainage, so I go and pick up Jenny and Chandler. By Saturday night Adam's caught this little bug. Sunday was pretty puke free, but Sunday night Aiden starts up again!! Everyone seems to be doing better today :) Jenny and Chandler went back to College Station, poor things; came up for a visit and got stuck with a family of sickies who can't leave the house :( It was still great seeing you guys!!!!!!!!!

Grandma Jane left Saturday to go back home, it sure was great getting to visit with her too. Maybe the next time we can go to Alabama?!

Hope your all doing good, enjoy this beautiful weather we've been having!!

Life is crazy!

Or so it's felt like lately. Adam got volunteered to work the second shift at work. SO, he will now be working 2pm to 11:45pm. It's going to take a lot to use to it. We are so scheduled... it's going to be hard for a while. The good news is he will now get to sleep in, (a little) and miss traffic. It's a good thing I'm at home, other wise we'd never see each other!

My photography stuff is really taking off. I've got 2 weddings scheduled over the next few months!! I've also got some family portraits scheduled. I'm really excited!!!! Some of the mom's in my mom's group have mentioned wanting to do some spring portraits too!!! YEAH!!!!!!!

Aiden has found himself a girlfriend. He just loves one of the little girls in our play group. She is about 5 months old and he likes holding her and looking at her. He is very sweet with the little babies. He pats them on the back and is surprisingly gentle.

Grandma Jane is in town and we have had a really great time visiting w/ her!!! We're going to pick Ryann up a day early so she can get some good bonding time with her before she heads back home. (Thanks for letting us do that Mel!!)

Jenny and Chandler are going to be staying with us this weekend too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aiden is very excited his best bud is coming to visit!!

Hope your all doing well! Give us a call, maybe Aiden and I will have you over for dinner while Adam's at work :(

Good times!

We have been very busy lately. Ryann was home with us for a little over a week. We sure were sad to see her go back to her mommy's. Aiden LOVED her being here. He followed her all over the place, never left her side. When she would get into bed before him he would cry while giving her kisses night night; it was very sweet. Thinking about her leaving and how much it would bother him made me think, (for about half a second) that I wanted another one; but that would just mean I'd have two sad ones instead of one :(

Adam's birthday was last Saturday, 28 years old!!!!!!!! He and I went out Friday to celebrate his birthday and St. Patrick's day. The 17th is also when we starting dating, time has really flown by! Saturday afternoon we had a small get together at our new house to celebrate Adam's big day, then we had a special dinner with Gamma and Papa. After wards Adam brought the kids home and I went and took some portraits.

Aiden took a small spill down a couple of stairs yesterday, he is fine; just upset him for a short while. He is getting so big! He talks your ear off these days, he uses the words he knows and throws in a LOT of baby talk. He must have picked up on how often Ryann's mouth moves, and just picks up when she leaves. Seriously between the two of them we may never have a silent moment again! It's worth it though. Their little voices are the sweetest sounds!!

Grandma Jane, or GG; as the kids call her will be flying in on Saturday. We haven't seen her since early May of last year. We're all looking forward to her week long visit!!! I think she is going to be floored at how much the kids have grown and changed.

Hope your all doing good, new pictures are up!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!!

May the roads rise to meet you.

May the wind be at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face;

The rain fall soft upon your fields And,

until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

A GAELIC BLESSING

and HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT JANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Home Sweet Home

We're all moved. Still have some unpacking to do, but all our 'stuff' is in the new place. I got the kids rooms all set up, and they really seem to be enjoying them. Ryann just keeps telling me her room is "SO cute!!". Aiden likes his room too. He'll play in it all day. He really likes that he has some room to walk, (Adam and I are pretty happy about that too).

Adam's birthday is this Saturday, we're having a small get together with some family and friends. Hope everyone is doing great!

The joys of moving, BLA!!

We've been packing for the past couple of days, YUCK!! I forgot how much I hate moving! Thank God we won't have to do this again for a while. Our place is a HUGE mess. It's a lot harder w/ kiddos. You can't pack much because I keep thinking well I MIGHT need that for Aiden... this stinks! We are moving this weekend, we're waiting for Ryann to be here so she can be apart of this big move. Adam and I went and painted the kids rooms last weekend. I really must pat us on the back, they look great! Not sure when we'll have a chance to post again - can't be sure how long it will take to have our Internet turned back on. Hope your all doing great!!

Potty Party!

Okay, so he may kill me when he gets older for putting this out for the whole world to see. Aiden went from just sitting on the potty to USING it today! Adam and I don't expect any big changes, but we are very happy and excited for our big boy!!! After he got done, we sang our potty song and did our little dance, then he got a snack as a reward. He was very excited, even though I don't think he really understood what all the excitement was about.

Adding a new member to the family tree.....

No, not the Nabors' tree; the Fuson tree! Chris and Adrian are expecting!!!! It's been a long time since they've had a baby in their house. Ashelynn is now 7 and Taryn turned 6 in January. We are very excited for these two. I'm looking forward to being an Aunt again!! Mommy is doing good, still fighting morning sickness; but looking great! Adrian's due date is October 11th, so look for more news then!

Congrats Guys, we love y'all!!!!

What a party!!

The Birthday Boy!!!


Aiden enjoyed his FIRST birthday party!! We had a really great time! Aiden was a 'little' overwhelmed by all the people and gifts at first, but soon warmed up. He had a great time walking around the jumping area. (Since my last post he has jumped his walking time up to about 90% of the time). Lots of family and friends joined Aiden in celebrating his big day. He made out like a bandit!! Who knew one kid could have so much?! After the party we got a chance to visit with Aiden's Great Aunt and Uncle for a while... so great to see you guys! We also got to have a yummy dinner with Gamma and Papa. He has played and played and is sure to fall right to sleep when his head hits the pillow. Thanks everyone for helping us make Aiden's first birthday so special! I still can't believe he is one!!!!! Lots of love!

Make a wish!


Was it yummy?!


Look at that pile of gifts!!!!

One Year Check-up

Isn't he getting big? Aiden went in for his one year well visit today. He got 4 more shots, ouch!! Other than that the visit went really well. He weighs 20-6. 5 lbs and is 30" long. He is following his curve nicely. He liked his nurse, well until she gave him his shots. He was just sitting talking to her. He told her all about the lights in the office, "ight, ight!" I think these shots were the hardest on Mommy, for the first time he really knew what was going on. I felt so sorry for him. Although he didn't cry for too long. A few fruit puffs, and he was a s good as new.

Hope your all doing well. See you at the party!!!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY AIDEN!!!!!!!!

WOW!! Can you believe a WHOLE year has gone by?! Aiden has changed SO much!! He is walking more and more. He still likes to crawl, but he is now crawling about 50% of the time. We have started potty training, right now it's just him trying to understand he has to sit on the potty, which he seems to like doing. He is talking more and more everyday. It is just amazing how things seem to 'pop' out of his mouth. Aiden's birthday party will be this Saturday, and I think it's going to be a ton of fun... although you can bet Mommy will be crying her eyes out. We go to the doctor for his 12 month check up Thursday, I'll be sure to post his 'stats' then.

If you get a chance give Aiden a call and wish him Happy Birthday. He LOVES to talk on the phone and you just might get to hear him tell you "HI!!".

Hope everyone has an awsome week!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What fun!

Ryann went back to her mommy's last night. It sure was great having her with us the past week!! We had lots of fun!! Aiden loved having her here to play with. She is turning in to such a big girl. She is so smart, and FUNNY. She cracks me up with some of the things she comes up with....
Aiden is growing so fast! Yesterday alone he said Hi and light. He has also learned how to go up and down the stairs. He'll sit and play pick a boo, and patty cake... it's so cute when he 'rolls it up'. Sunday he said duck. He got two more teeth this past week, bringing the total to 7! These last two have really made him drooly... gotta start wearing bibs all the time again. Aiden is getting better and better at walking, but he still likes being close to the ground and crawls most of the time.
Gamma and Papa got back from their cruise this past weekend. They had a great time. Gamma won BIG playing bingo on the ship!!!
Aunt Kim and Uncle Joe come home this weekend from their cruise, can't wait to hear how that was!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!! Stay warm, I heard we may get some snow!!!!!

Happy Birthday Chandler!!!!

Adam, the kids and I all took a trip to College Station this weekend. We had a really great time. The purpose of our trip was to go to Chandler's first birthday party, but we also got to visit A&M, and eat some yummy food we've missed! I got some really cute pictures of Adam and the future Aggies on campus!!!
It was so great to visit with Jenny and her family. Ryann and Aiden had a great time playing with Chandler. That kid REALLY gets around. He is SO fun!! I don't think he ever stops smiling! Next to Aiden, he is the cutest little boy!!
I think Chandler had a great birthday, he got a TON of stuff!! We sure hope he likes his Elmo chair. The kids partied HARD, we were in the car for less than 10 minutes and they were OUT!!

Adam had his first soccer game of the season, they WON!!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Have fun watching the Super Bowl!! I just watch the commercials!
