Heading to TEXAS!

Well we have had a change in plans...we were supposed to leave for TX next Tuesday, but now we are leaving tomorrow! We decided a few hours ago....yikes! we have a lot to do and not much time to get it done in. I hate that we are going to miss Jackson's first day of school, but we have to beat the storm down to TX...it's doesn't look like it will make landfall anywhere near Houston, but the outer rings of rain will get in our way on Tues/Wed and there could be some stong winds. So we are heading out at lunch time tomorrow...we will see what time we actually leave. :) Hope everyone has a great week...talk to you soon!

she is getting so big!!!

here are some words that our sweet little girl is saying...i really need to put them in the calendar, blogspot will have to do for now! She isn't a big talker like jackson was, but she is blabbing all the time, so I am sure the words she is trying to say will be out soon!

Bye
shoe - she already has a weird fetish with shoes
hellooo
cow! (her new favorite)
uice (juice)

NO

dada
more (her first real word!)
momma (sort of)
ball
doggie

she can also point to her hair, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hands, feet and belly button.

she is really into cows right now and has been carring a little cow all over the place. jackson was really into farm animals at this age and it's super cute! Lauren is also loving to cook and play with cups and silverware (plastic of course). i don't know where the time goes, before we know it she will be a big talker like her brother and be TWO this January!!!

lauren and her little COW!

nose

hands

hair and mouth at the same time! 

update

We have had a lot going on here in Arkansas and back in TX. A week ago my mom broke her wrist in 2 places and had surgery. She now has 4 pins in her arm with a big bar. Unfortunately it is on her right arm which makes eating really hard. Dave's Granny has had some health issues and my brother, Justin, is having a lot of personal issues (very serious with very close people in his life) that he is dealing with. We are going to Houston next week, but I wish we could be there now...there is so much going on. 

We had a family RMP company party this weekend. It was great to meet all the guys, spouses and kids!! here are the guys that keep this company going.

RMP had a bouncy house for the party...a few kids came and tested it before the party! 

Rosanna and her brother Fernando came by too!

here are some older summer pics...

Allison's b-day!!!!

my very cool kids! Jackson did this all on his own and Lauren had to wear it the same way.

Finally....some pictures from our trip to New York! I am so behind on updating all of you with pictures, I will try to catch you up with our summer!

Justin and Maribel on the Water Taxi around New York....They got engaged on this trip!!! CONGRATS!!!

First Stop....PIZZA in Brooklyn! Justin and I love to eat pizza....and Maribel lived in Brooklyn and said this is one of the best places in all of New York...it was GREAT! we did stand in line for an hour outside, during a New York heat wave!

taking in the sites! Times Square!

Dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe with our best friends, the Higgins...they were on their way to Canada.

Rockefeller Center....Higgins' family!

Justin and Maribel took a helicopter ride over the city...what a neat experience....while they did that Dave and I were getting ready to go see Chicago on Broadway.

Meeting up after the show and ride....that is 1lb of MEAT on that!
THEY GOT ENGAGED WHILE WE WERE AT THE SHOW!!!

Maribel was so surprised...it was great!

After a late night meal...time to go to the APPLE store! I must admit the entrance to this store was amazing...there was a staircase under the apple in this clear entrance. BTW, this apple store is open 24/7. We got there around midnight and there were tons of people there!

Central Park....

Yankee Stadium! It was a great game and we saw Jeter hit a home run!

after the game...

more food! the biggest BLT we had ever seen!

The Mets Game...it was GREAT!

That's the end of our trip. We had tons of fun and we all had a great time! Next summer we plan on going to St. Louis to check out the Cardinals....this baseball stadium journey has been a blast and I can't wait to go on to the other stadiums!

Baby #3 is on the way!!!

We are happy to introduce you to Baby Bellomy #3!!!!! We had our first ultrasound this afternoon, so now I can officially say we are expecting! (this is now a true reality for me too!) I am 10 weeks today and the baby is due March 4th. Currently we are not planning on finding out if it's a boy/girl and I am going to try to stay strong to that. Dave and Suzannah are really wanting to find out :) This baby is due only 5/6 weeks after Lauren's b-day and 5/6 weeks before Jackson's birthday, so we should have clothes covered for the most part...so it's a neutral babies room! :) We are thrilled and nervous about adding another member to the family....2009 will be an exciting year! oh and just so you all know, the baby will be a part of the....

Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2031!

my morning...

Jackson and Lauren are sitting at the table eating breakfast and then all of the sudden I hear...

"who let the dogs out, whoo whoo" - Jackson

I wonder who taught Jackson that???? one guess for everyone! :)
