I know he can't talk yet but I know what he would say to all his family and friends for such a great weekend, "Thank you Mommy, Daddy, CoCo, Papa, Gina, Pops, Aunt La La, Uncle Bob, Aunt Amy, Uncle Griffin and Aunt Sarah for an AWESOME weekend!!" Holt you are ONE lucky dude! I hope you look back at this pics one day and know how much you are loved. We LOVE you sooooo much you don't even know!

Wedding Weekend in Marble Falls

2011-03-27T18:38:00.000-07:00

This weekend one of my closest college friends(Erika or "little hands" thats what Bob calls her!) got married in Marble Falls. Bob and I were able to go Saturday morning and stay that night. This doesn't sound abnormal, but this was our FIRST weekend together since his job at UPS. He has worked every saturday for almost 4 years so we really enjoyed ourselves. My mother (diamond member) of Hampton Inn, had enough points for a free room, so we were on the top floor with a lakeside view. THANK you mom!! Then we headed to the wedding site at Three Point Ranch. It was AMAZING weather and sooooo many great friends. It was a beautiful wedding and so much fun! Bob and I had a great relaxing weekend too...

I already miss the girls:( Love you Mrs. Blair!!

NOT a fan of 2011 and Lazy Aunt:(

2011-02-26T09:18:00.000-08:00

I don't even know where to begin...I want to say just read the title and that will explain my life right now, but I will go into detail for the readers (not sure who actually reads this??)

So here it goes...

All my pics are out of order, I have a new thing on my computer that uploads funny so just skip around with me. If you read my last post I mentioned/asked for prayers for Bob's UPS job. They ended up letting Bob go on Monday Jan. 31st because of the reck he was in! I felt like our world ended that day. Did I mention I had to go put on a big girl smile for 20 5 year olds ALL DAY!! Hardest day of my life!! The next day was a snow day, and the next, and the next, AND the next!!! OMG, did we have a lot of time to think about everything!! It was all a blessing in disguise! We had LOTS of prayer going on for Bob and I and we were soooo blessed with phone calls and emails!! Then I found out last week that my co-teacher (blended K) that I have worked with for 3 years, her program got cut from our school. She is preggo too so she had lots of emotions and tears that day. She will now be a RI (resource instructor on our campus). There are a couple of other things going on that I can't mention on blog, but just know its been a rough 2011!!! I DO NOT LIKE CHANGE!!

I have shed LOTS of tears in 2011, (11 used to be my favorite # too)!

Good news: Bob did get a NEW job, he starts this Monday!! It is with a great company (Andy's sprinkler repair), the office is about 7 miles north of our house in South lake, so the drive is GREAT!! He won't have 2 jobs anymore, great pay, etc...We have a friend at church who works at this company and had somebody quit out of no where, and they needed someone to start immediately!! WHAT A BLESSING!! I love how things come together. And as far as Mandy (co-teacher) goes, she DOES have a job and she is still at our school so it will be hard but maybe this is all a blessing too!

So, there is lots of change, but like they say, "when one door closes, another one opens!!" I will keep you updated on more changes, Bob's new job, and whatever comes our way!! Enjoy the random pics!! Not posting pics of the cutest nephew is why im a LAZY aunt BTW!! Ill work on that!!

Snow day #3!! CABIN FEVER at this point

"sleepy superman"

Thank you Uncle Bob for the coolest shirt ever

Uncle Griff playing superman

My cousin Jahna's princess Journee!! Love the headband! She is a DOLL

This is boring!!

Memaw and Journee

Me, Jahna, and Leigh Ann! It was a great day!!

Finally!!!

2011-01-30T13:37:00.000-08:00

I finally got my computer/camera to like each other again. I don't know what was wrong with them and uploading pics...oh well, Bob helped me so here are the 2 pics I have taken in January. On Saturday the UTA men's basketball team hosted a River Trails night and gave away 400 free tickets to students and their families. We went and it was a lot of fun. One of my students this year, his dad is the head coach and his wife put all this together. It was fun and cute to see all the kids getting autographs and posters after the game.

Miss Olivia made her debut on Ernie's birthday Jan. 19th, so we went to go see her and her parents in the hospital. She looks JUST like Belinda!! I love her chubby little cheeks and her sweet little nose!! I can't wait to watch her grow up!!

Other than that January has been kind of a slow going month. Bob and I celebrated 10 years of dating, or whatever you want to call it. I always say how much I like this anniversary more than our wedding...not sure why, but it takes me back to when we were young and all the adventures we went through till we got married. Holt is great!! He started crawling, which is cute to us, but I think his momma is doing a lot of chasing around the house...I don't think Leigh has a use for a vacuum anymore:)

This past Saturday Bob called me from work around 10am letting me know that he had been in a wreck in his UPS van. I was in shock and didn't even ask any questions?? I knew he was OK, but when he hung up, that's when all the thoughts/questions started going through my head. He didn't see the red light cause a package had fallen and he turned around to look and when he looked up he had hit a lady in her Tahoe. She was OK too, but they did take her to the hospital just in case. If you haven't put two and two together, this isn't good!! Especially when you are a UPS driver. Driving is HIS JOB!! If he doesn't drive, no job!!! We are freaking out a little bit, but trying to stay positive!! He will know more tomorrow morning! SO please say a prayer for Bob and I that everything works out and he doesn't lose his job!! He REALLY loves his job and wants to be there along time. So hopefully this will all work out. I will keep you updated as we know things!! Thanks again for your prayers!!! Here's hoping to a GREAT February!!

Christmas/Frustration

2011-01-05T13:42:00.000-08:00

Well, well...I'm sooo mad this took so long to post. My camera will NOT upload to my computer for some reason??? So I had to bring my camera to school and upload. Almost all my pics have RED eyes and werent cropped, etc...Oh well...You probably just want to look at pics anyways!! We had a great Christmas and had lots of family time!! I think you can tell who was the most popular this Christmas...its alot more fun with babies (Holt) around. My mom also brought stuff to Leigh Ann's to decorate cookies with...it was ALOT of fun...Bob had never done it so he got pretty creative...He and Leigh Ann had a little battle with each other on who could decorate better...I just watched:) Over all Christmas was great and relaxing!! Above is a pic that hangs in our Bueno by our house...that's the original Taco Bueno in Abilene on South 1st...its not even there anymore...but we used to go when we were little ALL the time after skate night!! MEMORIES!!! Enjoy my random, red eye post!!!

Birthdays, Parties, Santa, & an Anniversary

2010-12-19T18:57:00.000-08:00

On Friday Bob and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary!! It was also my last day of school too, so it was great day!! He sent me a beautiful arrangement of Christmasie (sp)flowers/roses. I also had a VERY sweet card in my car that morning. I especially like this years card cause it wasn't just about who happy he is, how he can't believe its been 5 yrs, etc....It was about how I taught him "how" to love. He told me how he really didn't know what true love was till we were married and I showed him. It was a great start to my day. Then after a LONG last day of school I came home and took a cat nap and then headed to Trulucks in South Lake and did a little shopping. I'm so happy with my life and marriage with Bob, he is such a BLESSING in my life. Here is to MANY more!! I love you Bob!!

Dear Holt...

2010-08-22T19:12:00.001-07:00

I am dedicating this LAST summer post and my 100th post to my one and only (literally) favorite nephew. I want him to know one day what an AWESOME summer we shared. I spent EVERY moment I could with this sweet face. Holt, some of our favorite things we did this summer consisted of...LOTS of trips to the mall, long car rides to Abilene and Stephenville, sweet moments in the nursery at church, lots of mall bathrooms to change diapers, new clothes, lots of food (milk for him) and lots of sweet smiles. We had so much fun and I'm so sad to see it come to an end. I hope you know how much aunt LaLa loves you! I think about you EVERY day and I always smile when I think of you. I'm shedding a tear as I type this cause I'm going to miss seeing you almost every day!! I love you HOLT BRADLEY BOOKER!! Make sure your mom and dad send me lots of pics during the day!!! I LOVE YOU boo boo!!!

My cousin Katie had her little bundle of joy 2 weeks ago and we finally got to meet him...what better way than with his second cousin HOLT! They had no idea what was going on but when we look at these pics later in life they can look at this and see when they first met. Will is precious and TINY! They are in love and after having Holt I see why they are in love:)
Smile Holt

Kisses

I think he looks like his daddy!

Aunt Jennie and Holt, look at those legs!

Aunt Julie (juju) meeting Holt

Bob and I switched churches in February to The Branch. We LOVE our new church and our new church family. They have been MORE than welcoming. I remember Leigh Ann and Jason ALWAYS doing stuff with their friends from church in the last few years and I never got why they always wanted to hang out with them?? Now that we are going to the church and hanging out with the same people I TOTALLY get it now...they are sooo much fun, loving, and great conversationalists!! (is that a word??) Oh well, being said, they allowed Bob to join their softball team. If you know Bob you know he is a basketball guy, so he was pretty nervous about an unfamiliar sport. He had some Awesome games, OK games, and not so good games. But over all he had a BLAST!! We are so lucky to have these new friends in our lives!! BTW, they won the tournament and got first place!! Yay!!

This is our little mascot Jenna

Yes you saw the title, we went to see WICKED, my first time and the others this was their third or fourth time...It was everything I had heard...I LOVED IT!! Thanks for the tickets mom!! My mom and her girlfriends (my second/third moms) left this morning for their annual girls trip and this year they are going to South Carolina!!

Best Friends...

This picture may not mean much but, in 2007 when we went to New York, this play was either REALLY new or hadn't come out yet, and we saw a poster on the street of New York and took this EXACT picture. I can't find it on my computer...You know how Leigh and I are, can't ever take a normal picture!

Oh did I mention we were on the 8th row!?!? Lots of fun, great girl time, shopping, got our bridesmaids dresses for Griffin and Amy's wedding (Nov. 20th:) lots of good food, dad came to visit, shopping, and laying out!! Great week last week!!

Tummy Time and an engagement!!!

2010-06-01T15:54:00.000-07:00

I got some good pics of these cutie doin some tummy time!! He is so good at it:)

We were helping Griff think of some ways to propose to his girlfriend for the last couple of months. My mom thought we should put HOLT some where in the mix since Griff loves him sooo much so this is what we came up with....cute huh??? After all the pics, check out the proposal video...so sweet...Good job Leigh, Mom, and myself!! SHE SAID YES BTW!!

After he proposed we all surprised them at the famous PERINIS!! All her closest friends and family were there. Thanks mom and dad for picking up the tab for everyone:)

The basket of goodies Leigh Ann and I got for her....Help her get started on the planning!!

He also got to meet both of his Great Grandmas this weekend...they loved him of course!!

Field Day, Flower Day, and Mother's Day!!

2010-05-09T18:14:00.000-07:00

We had our Kinder Field Day on Friday and the kids had a lot of fun...They were exhausted by the end of the day...My class is the purple team every year, so our shirts always turn out sooo cute!! Then Saturday morning my mom and I drove to Stephenville so we could spend the day with Memaw and Papa and plant their spring/summer flowers. Their yard always looks so good. Hope they enjoy it! Then on Sunday We spent the day at Leigh Ann and Jason's house for mother's day, (my mom was out of town!!! Hope you are enjoying your new NANO Coco?? Happy Mother's day! We love you! So does Holt, even though he pooped on you:) ) We made shredded pork, poppers, corn on the cob and potato salad. Leigh got some pretty flowers from Jason and I got her some jewelry (shocker!) and Mom got her a Luby's gift card. I think all the moms in our family had a great day and weekend!!

Mondays are my Favorite day of the week!!

Monday Nights=This little guy and softball games...We always take dinner over to Leigh's house and then we head over to the game...I did as much as I could for Leigh Ann the hour I was there...He is such a good baby; I got to burp, change, kiss, put PJs on, swaddled, and then put him to bed...I'm getting better...Leigh Ann was able to use the restroom and fix dinner, we make a good team!!BURP!!

Working on making a dirty diaper

Funny face, but little do you know, he just made a BIG Poo!! Good Boy Holt!!

Helping out with Holt!

2010-04-20T19:47:00.000-07:00

Coco and Holt. This is my moms home away from home...you will usually find her sitting in this very spot. Holt loves his Coco!! She has been a huge blessing to Jason and Leigh helping them adjust to new parents!!

Today I took the day off to help Leigh Ann out with Holt. We had so much fun with NO sleep...I tried too hard to help that I only ended up with spread out 4 hours of sleep...I'm NOT ready to be a mom!! I think the sleep thing is the only thing that is keeping me from being excited about it...that's a tough job. Holt is such a good baby and soooo cute...we had fun, I'm the burping champ, baby clothes folder, and picture taker and I LOVE doing all those jobs to help Leigh Ann out!! He looks like Jason now huh??

Dazed and confused!!

On a side note...early this morning Leigh Ann heard a loud "thump!" We couldn't figure out what it was, and then Leigh looked outside and saw the bird laying on the ground...he had flown into the glass:( I was sooo sad and Leigh Ann and mom could have cared less....I checked on the bird more than Holt today:(

This is where you will usually find Leigh Ann...this is her "feeding" spot. Holt loves his mommy!!TIRED

Just burped and feeling good.

I love him more than words could express...I am a very proud aunt!!

Thank you for letting me come hangout today!! I can't wait till summer!!!! I love you Holt:)

Weekend Wrap up with Holt!

2010-04-11T12:50:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun this weekend playing, feeding (Leigh Ann), watching, holding, staring, and loving on Mr. Holt. He is soooooo amazing. I know he is not "MY" baby, but now I know what all those moms are talking about when you feel that new love!! He is so spoiled beyond means. He slept yesterday ALOT in his crib, which made us all happy, Coco watched him while we all went to dinner too. Leigh Ann and Jason are doing so good about sharing time with Holt, family, and all their visitors. They are awesome parents! Bob and I are so lucky to live in the same town, I don't know how I could wait to see that lil booger. I have a lot of pics so enjoy. I'm not a crazy aunt, its just hard not taking pics of him!! Enjoy!

He loves his passy (sp)

Getting a manicure!

Cute Feet

He looks like Griffin in the one above.

Kisses from mom and dad.

Lots of hair!!

Coco and Holt

2010-04-08T19:37:00.001-07:00

Today was such a fun day!! Holt is EVERYTHING and more! The pictures say it all...I was in the delivery room with Leigh Ann and Jason, and could give you the play by play, but I want that to be something that she does when she gets home...Just know that it all happened REALLY fast and turned out to be a smooth sailing delivery. Until I get permission to tell the birth story, I will let Leigh Ann do all that...Enjoy the precious pics!!
