Texas State Fair!!

Had a wonderful day at the fair today. It was 75 degrees and foggy. Not the prettiest of days, but hey, not to bad. We were there early in the morning, so thankfully there was not much of a crowd. Around noon, a ton of people arrived, but thankfully we were leaving. Evan had a great time. He had his first corn dog, fried oreo, and fried kraut. Sure, not my best parenting moment, but he wanted to try it! He also got to pet a longhorn, get close to an emu, and feed a goat. We walked down midway and he admired all the loud game and shining lights! We were hoping to take Evan on the iconic ferris wheel, but decided we would wait until he was a little older. By the time we left, he was exhausted and slept all the way to the car.

After the fair, we went to meet up with Grammy and Pops and celebrate Grammy's 25th birthday! We had some mexican food and Evan had his first kids meal. He chomped down the rice, tried to eat the beans, and didn't care too much for the cheese quesadilla! It was an excellent meal with even better company.

Whew. A long day! It wasn't quite over becuase we came home to watch the Ranger game! It was a nerve wracking game and Evan fell asleep about the 10th inning. Thankfully we won! AND we won in style! Way to go Cruz!

My first corn dog! So yummy!!

I love the fair!!!

Simmer down now!!

Well, Saturday was not a very good day in the Hopper household. First, Tuberville had some bad play calling, the Aggies had to fake hurt (we were too fast for them), then they had a cheap shot on our best player, and they come out with a cheap win. Oh well, after two loses in a row I guess they need it more than we did. AND, the best news is we don't have to play them again. I won't miss those stupid cheerleaders, I mean yell leaders, and the towel twirling, silly swaying fans! Have fun in the SEC! I bet you will win a bunch!! Sorry I just had to get that out. Really no hard feelings :)

Well, on to the real reason Saturday was so bad. Evan went to sleep about 5:45. Only about 30 minutes early then usual, but he decided he would wake up at midnight! He was then up from midnight until 3am! Mommy was not very happy, neither was daddy for that matter! He would not quit crying and we really had no idea why he would not go to sleep. Finally at 3, I resigned, I brought Evan to our bed and cuddled him to sleep. He went to sleep until about 6. Then, we went downstairs to play! Daddy was nice enough to wake up and I went to sleep from 7-8. It had been a long night. Thankfully, the rough night got to Evan and he went took a nap from 9-10:30! Everyone needed it, so it was a nice break! Thankfully, after his nap, he has been our wonderful little boy! He went down for nap and bedtime like usual, instead of fighting it, like he has been for the past week.

We are all looking forward to tomorrow. A fun day at the fair, weather permitting, and a wonderful birthday lunch with Grammy! Can't wait!!

Apples make my teeth feel good!

What a week!

Well it has been one of those weeks. Evan is into EVERYTHING! He can crawl at the speed of light. I blink and he is into something new. Slowly, the house is getting baby proofed. I just wait and see what Evan goes for and then put it away. Far, far away! He also is getting an 'attitude'. If I take something away that he likes, he will cry. I am slowly getting used to this, but I feel like I am making him cry and that makes me feel terrible. We also had our first big accident. I still don't really want to talk about it. I feel like such a bad mommy for letting it happen. To make a long story short, Evan hit his head and we had to make an emergency visit to the doctor. Thankfully, all was fine with Evan. The doctor just had us keep a watch on him for 24 hours and look for any unusual behavior. No unusual behavior! *Sigh of relief* He now weighs 19 pounds. My little bowling ball!! Unfortunately, Evan did end up with a big bruise on his head and a black eye. Poor guy. Only eight months old and looks like he got into a fight. Sadly, it will probably be the first of many injuries. Let's just hope he can hold off on the next one until he is a few years old. Boys will be boys!

Enjoying potato soup!

 No bottles for me!! Master of the sippy cup!
