Wildlife

Yep your not seeing things, that's a bird on my mantle top!!

What a week! We have had such a busy week and Monday we had the most random thing happen to us. I got up early Monday morning and did all the last minute grocery shopping and started cooking for the holidays. We had Thanksgiving Feast #1 planned for Henderson the next day so I was cooking up a storm. A little before lunch I let the dogs out like I always do but turned around to grab something and left the door open while they did their business and when I turned back around SURPRISE.... In to the living room flew in TWO sparrows. OH MY, I freaked out... Seriously.... Our ceilings are really tall and we have windows across the back of the living room so the birds kept flying in to the windows .. I was so worried they were going to hurt themselves. I locked up the dogs and opened every window and door thinking they would fly out but NOPE.. Not the smartest bird out there. So after finally getting Brad on the phone and he had come home to help we tried to do everything we could think to get them out. I had Christmas decorations every where and birds pooping in the living room floor. Finally after trying for over and hour I broke down and called Animal Control. They were so nice and showed up quickly to help. They used a huge net and in about 5 minutes the birds were free. I asked the guy if this happens much and he said NO, that usually they get in the chimney but usually not through the back door :)...I LOVE BEING UNUSUAL.. It was really funny and I now know how it all happened. They are perching in our grill in the cold weather and the dogs charge them when I let them out so they go nuts and flew right in the house. So now I'm really careful letting the dogs out.. Hopefully we won't have wildlife in the house again.. So here are a few pictures of our little birds. They really were so cute. I asked Brad if we could keep one.. YEAH RIGHT , he said...

One loved the fan...

Love this one, Brad trying to poke at them with a curtain rod...

Mike and Kristi's Engagement Party Weekend!!

This past weekend we celebrated Michael and Kristi's engagement . I have to say I was really nervous about the weekend. We had only traveled to the coast with the baby never stayed in a hotel. The week prior to coming down we had a really rough sleeping schedule, so I was really concerned that the weekend would be hard on everyone! We visited the pediatrician before leaving town just to make sure Harper was feeling okay and he said she looked great so off we went. Friday we drove to Houston , checked in and unpacked and then drove to the Venue so Michael and Kristi could show us where the wedding would be. We loved it, it was beautiful and unique. I think the wedding is going to be awesome. We then left and drove down to Kemah to go to the engagement party. We had never been to Kemah and I love it. So fun, I think we are going to get a room for the wedding and enjoy it with WARM weather. It was windy and cold this weekend and I didn't want to have Harper out in it so I look forward to going back down and spending some time in Kemah. The engagement party was fun, we ate at Joe's Crab Shack and met lots of Kristi and Michael's friends and Kristi's family. We got back to the hotel about 11 and Harper has never been out that late, she ended up sleeping until 6:45 !!! On Saturday we met Dad and Kelly out at the dinner rehearsal spot to try the food with everyone. It was great , we all loved it as well. The rest of Saturday we spent hanging out with Michael and Kristi and enjoying there new apartment. On Sunday we drove to Dad's and went to lunch and spent sometime visiting and then headed to Port O Conner for a few days for Brad to work. It was nice to have today to relax with my girl. Its always so beautiful out here and I love that there is no house work to be done. So here are a few pictures from the weekend. We had such a great time , spending time with the family. We can not wait to welcome Kristi into the family! And now that I work weekends I cherish the ones I have off to spend time with family.

I love Daddy Tuesdays

This morning Brad got up and got dressed and I got Harper dressed as usual. When he came out of the bathroom I started to laugh because they kinda matched today. I felt a little left out..:) So I took a few quick pictures of Harper and her daddy. She sure loves him and he can make her laugh so hard. And who rocks her back to sleep at night ??? DADDY. So its I love my daddy day at the Warren Household. LOVE YOU DADDY...

5 months Old

5 Months Old

What an exciting day, you are already 5 months old. You are changing too quickly these days. Lately you are rolling over and grabbing toys like crazy. We now have to watch you like a hawk, everything you can get in your hands goes right into you mouth. I love to watch you explore.You are really close to sitting up. We can prop you and let you play but if we take it away you want to put your hands down between you legs to hold you up. Its cute.. You love the new exersaucer and jumper we got you. The exersaucer is your favorite. Maybe you are going to be an animal lover like your mother because everything on the toy is rainforest... You are becoming so vocal, screaming and laughing when you play, its so fun to listen to you talk to yourself. I have been pushing my lips together and vibrating my lips and you have picked up on it quick.. The other day you randomly started trying to do it back, and your daddy and I could not stop laughing.. We only wish we knew what you were thinking sometimes. You are getting better with your rice cereal . We havent been sleeping great lately. I think your afraid you will miss a moment. Usually up once in the night but the last few nights you have been waking up around 3:45 or 4 with horrible gas. POOR GIRL.. You just celebrated your first Halloween and I think you were the cutest ladybug ever. You're really starting to figure out how much you like hanging out with mom. I see at night that you are clinging to me and I LOVE IT.. Except for when I really need to get things done..:)Everyday you are developing more of a personality. I wonder all the time what you will look like and be like when you are older. I am so excited to see who you are and who you turn out to be. I am the luckiest mom in the world to be your mother. Cutest thing this month is that you do what we call the quiet talk. One day you just started talking in a really low voice and its hysterical. Who knows where you came up with this but it makes me laugh. Well Harper , we love you and cant wait to see what new things you do in Month 5. Here are your 5 month pictures..
A few showing off your new sitting up trick...




Laughing at Emma



Couldnt resist this cute picture from behind...




And one last one showing how quickly I LOOSE YOUR ATTENTION...





We love you like crazy little girl....

Happy 1st Halloween

Harper's First Halloween!!

So much fun, dressing this precious girl up... The last month I had been shopping around trying to find a really cute Halloween costume for Harper and was not having much luck. Most of the costumes you could buy were all 6 months and up. So I got online and ordered a UT cheer leading dress and thought I would just dress her up in that, but when it came in the mail it was huge on Harper even though it said 3-6 months. Sweet little petite Harper...:) So I ended up just going to Carter to see if I could get anything in her size. They were of course sold out and then I was so disappointed thinking Harper was going to not have a costume. So at the last minute, Brad and I went to Belk in Rockwall( and we never go there) and on the 70% off rack was a Carter's Ladybug in her size.. Seriously what are the odds.... But it was adorable and worked out perfect. We ended up staying home and just answering the door dressed up. Last year we didn't have many trick or treater's but this year we had quite a few. Hayes and Holt came by dressed up really cute as well. We took some cute pictures of the kids and of course my camera was on the wrong setting and I didn't realize and now they are all fuzzy.. Bummer. So here are a few pictures of Halloween weekend and of our beautiful LADYBUG...
