such a quitter

noreply@blogger.com (Froggie Mama) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 04:23:00 +0000

okay - here is my 5th or 6th time to start back up blogging!! haha i'm such a quitter... which is weird for me b/c i'm sooo not a quitter. A procrastinator maybe... HAHA :)

So Michelle's blog chelle9279.blogspot.com inspired me to start blogging again about Lil' Tad! He's growing sooo much!! It seems like he was JUST a baby and now... POOF!! He's SEVEN!!!! Where does the time go?!?!

my ALMOST first grader!!! WOW!! :)

Lil' Tad is growing up

i can't believe i have a Kindergartner. Seriously, where did the
last 6 years go?? and why do they have to fly by sooo dang fast!!
but... he's loving going to "big school" and is definitely
shining in school, school work-wise. He's still learning the
rules: keeping hands off walls, lines, his friends, talking too
much, staying on task, etc. BUT... he's working on it & we're
staying on top of any behavior issues. i'm not going to beat
him just yet! ;) (totally kidding.. by the way!!!!)

awww!! my lil' tad!! :)

Photohunt: Road

noreply@blogger.com (Froggie Mama) — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 15:11:00 +0000

So i know i'm not "officially" part of the Photohunt Blogroll anymore, b.c well... i couldn't keep up with my blog. HAHA... but i still wanted to post! ;)

this is my hubby riding the 4-wheeler on a road in Oklahoma.
**we were basically the only ones staying in the cabins that weekend,
so the roads were all ours... :) **

i'm such a quitter

noreply@blogger.com (Froggie Mama) — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 15:00:00 +0000

i'm so not good at keeping up with this blog...
i was doing sooo good for awhile... okay, like
2 years ago, but i guess i got distracted
by other things... my Mommy message board,
myspace, facebook... oops!

so i'm not going to promise anything, but
maybe i can start this up again.

we'll see... :)

happy friday!! tgif... or "GOF" as my
Lil' Tad said this morning!! heehee ♥

♥ Thirteen Facts about Froggie Mama's Hubby ♥
1. He'll turn the big 3-0 on Saturday!
2. We have been ♥ together ♥ for 10 years & married for almost 5!
3. He has 1 older brother, 2 older sisters, and 1 younger sister.
4. His youngest sister was born the day before he was! They are 11 yrs apart.
5. He's a native Texan. Born and raised in the same city! *Yeehaw*
6. Hubby is a BIG poker fan & is pretty good at it! Don't be surprised if you see him on the World Poker Tour someday! hehe :)
7. He also enjoys playing pool, helping coach Lil' Tad's soccer team (undefeated by the way! Okay... they don't keep score, but the parents do! ha!), fishing, doing puzzles, riding 4-wheelers, & spending time with his family!
8. I love his sense of humor and playfulness! He likes to joke alot & is always trying to make people smile! He's definitely a *people-person!*
9. He played soccer from 6 yrs to 18 yrs old until he hurt his knee. It still bothers him from time to time.
10. He's hoping to go back to school in the near future. He's mentioned about becoming a High School Coach/History teacher. I think he'd be awesome at it! :)
11. He is horrible about falling asleep on the couch at night! And trying to wake him up is a HUGE chore! ha! He is such a deep sleeper... or he just like to ignore me! His alarm could go off for 30 minutes without disturbing him!
12. He loves his little boy more than anything! He's a super Dad! I love watching the two of them play together! Definitely 2 peas in a pod!
13. I'm looking forward to spending many more birthdays with my Frog Prince and growing old together! ♥ Happy 30th Birthday to my loving hubby!

Back from Vegas...

We had a good time. I didn't get to do nearly the things I wanted to do... but that happens when you go somewhere with a group of people. It's all good though! Would have been better if we had won some $$!! :)

My T13 is going to be a little late. Trying to upload pics so I can post 13 of them!! :) (It's going to be hard to pick... since I took like 300+!! hehe)

I'm glad to be home! Nothing like sleeping in your OWN bed!!

Thirteen Things I Want To Do While In Vegas

1. Eat some good food! A few recommendations from friends: Emeril's Delmonico Steakhouse, Picasso @ the Bellagio, Mandalay Bay buffet and the Buffet at Paris! You can't go to Vegas and not eat at one of the *boo-fays!* ;)

2. Play some slots! I'm not really into any of the *card* games. (I've never played penny slots like Carmen talks about! I've played nickel slots though!)

3. Check out the view from top of the Eiffel Tower. I've heard the view from there at night is amazing! (Paris hotel, of course)

4. Hubby wants to check out the Poker Room at The Mirage. It is suppose to be the LARGEST! (woohoo!!)

5. I thought I wanted to check out Red Rock Canyon, but a few friends said that they preferred the Valley of Fire better. (I need to check & see how far away they are!)

6. Free Drinks!!

7. Sleeping In!! (I can't tell you the last time I did that!!)

8. Since my little sis is getting married and all... we MUST have a Girl's Night! I'm not sure if we're going to hit some of the clubs/bars or maybe go the cheesy (but FUN!) route & watch The Thunder Down Under! (ohhh-la-la!)I think we'd have a blast... and esp. since my Mom & Aunt will be with us! The looks on their faces would be PRICELESS I bet! ha!

9. Another cheesy thing - but I think I want to check out Madame Whoever's Wax Museum. I've never been & I think I'd have fun snapping away w/my camera! This might be the CLOSEST I get to a celebrity! :)

10. Floating in the pool. The Monte Carlo has a lazy river... and being lazy sounds right up my alley! (The weather says the high is in the 90's, so warm enough for this Texas girl!)

11. Area 51. Another fun photo opportunity. I gotta get a picture by those signs!

12. And that reminds me that I want to get a picture in front of the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign! (I meant to get one of me in my wedding dress in 2001, but you know... I guess I had other things on my mind when I was actually there! ha!)

13. Another photo one. I want a pic of me & hubby in front of Little Chapel of the Flowers, where we got married almost 5 years ago in November. ♥ (and my sis is getting married in the same one! All together now... AWWWWWW!!) Maybe I should have titled this T13 as... "13 Things I Want to Take a Picture of While in Vegas!" :)
