Text of the page (random words):
got close to the school i decided to actually listen to colin and slide into the handicapped lot in front of the church which luckily was empty got the kids in the stroller some diapers and a old water bottle from connor s seat and headed into the school at this point i knew i couldn t get out of the parking lot in my van so we were going to have to spend the night unless colin could come get us but i told him to stay at work for the time being there was no point in sitting in traffic for 5 hours to go 3 miles connor s school was so sweet the got us in the library and got cora some food which she devoured and cb some milk i had no formula or a plan so i put milk in the old water bottle which had a pull up top and tried to get him some food he ate cheetos and real milk all to celebrate turning 11 months old that day we ended up sitting around until about 6pm they kept us warm played games and fed us some delicious pizza colin showed up with my dad and my 4wd and after installing all the car seats and reconfiguring the seats in the way back we all piled in the car to try to make it home about 7 15 we pulled into my mom s driveway and it was so good to be there but if i had it to do over again i would have stayed at the school the drive home was the scariest drive ever our car was fine and probably only slipped once but the roads were horrible covered in ice and people abandoned their cars on every stretch of every roadway in the most haphazard fashion the only way i can describe it since i didn t dare try to take a picture was that aliens descended from the sky and people jumped out of their moving cars and ran there was no rhyme or reason to the way these cars were abandoned no one is in these cars in the photo no one no one tried to push the car to the side or anything just got stuck and got out i guess it was unavoidable since hardly anyone here has 4wd but we couldn t treat the roads because of all the cars and some roads were impassable for days because of abandoned cars it was a day i hope never happens again we had 3 snow days a few weeks later and only 1 day and 1 inch of snow look how happy they were at school connor cried when we were leaving to go home it might have been fun to stay if i hadn t had the baby with me i would say maybe next time but i really hope there isn t a next time no one wants to relive that day i did escape earlier in january to st louis with my best friend caitlin she got me watching resale royalty on style network it is about a mom and her 2 daughters owning a few resale boutiques in st louis the show is pretty cute and caitlin had a free southwest ticket that was going to expire on mlk so we just had to go we have never been to st louis i honestly don t think i had ever been to missouri but there was a tv show about high end resale and we went i was a little worried that if the store was a disappointment that the rest of the trip could be a let down too i did some research on st louis and asked around and had a plan in the event our first stop was not the same as it looked on tv caitlin and i can pretty much make our own fun as my mom would say so i wasn t too worried we arrived via a stop in tampa together got our rental car very easily i might add no waiting no problems oh except that it was snowing we requested a snow scraper and took off to find a place to eat mexican of course then off to locate women s closet exchange to me the outside looked the same as it did on tv with the exception that the super sketchy bar next door was conveniently cropped out on tv an average older strip mall in the middle of suburbia as a side note caitlin checked the bar out on tripadvisor the description was strong drinks super cheap we skipped that bar and headed to shop and as luck would have it they were having a 70 off sale everyone in the store was super nice we looked around for hours but the store is definitely way smaller than it appears on tv but nice we both got a few items after trying on a ton by then the snow had stopped and we were ready to find our hotel and stay warm i wouldn t say the store was a letdown it certainly was not any nicer than i expected it was great in the sense that caitlin really feels like she can have a shop like that one day and maybe in a less sketchy strip mall we both wonder how in the world stlye network found this place but it was a great start to the trip next stop moonrise hotel in the loop our hotel was in a very eclectic part of st louis and had a very fun rooftop bar indoor we grabbed a delicious dinner at a local spot and then sipped some drinks up on the rooftop and met so many nice people seriously everyone we met in st louis was over the top nice and accommodating we met a chef who explained why everyone was so nice no one comes to st louis for vacation ever sort of like birmingham but i am definitely going back to st louis in the summer it is such a fun place we slept in something as moms of 3 we rarely get to do and headed out to do the budweiser free tour downtown for free it was a great tour some people with cheap hats and shirts paid 20pp for the same tour we were happy to escape without ugly hats and for free we saw the clydesdales and of course the beer after the tour we got to sample some beer also for free and then we decided against going back to women s closet exchange and instead we went to a chocolate bar i read about online our lunch of cinnamon pretzels and coffee the chocolate bar did not disappoint and neither did the nearby restaurant vin de set recommended by our budweiser tour guide it was so delicious i just cannot explain and its location seemed random but then once we got upstairs we saw the view you could see all of downtown from the restaurant and they too had a rooftop bar closed due to freezing temps but will be so great in the summer so happy we chatted up the tour guide to make up for our less than filling lunch we enjoyed a cheese plate with our hot chocolate martini yummo so delicious back to our hotel not without making another wrong turn i love caitlin so much more than i could ever say but she cannot navigate she is very open about her inability to navigate but i really didn t think it would be this bad we were never actually lost but we got off on the wrong exit every time we got in the car every time parade of gifts for kids on monday morning we got up checked out of the hotel luckily the guy at the front desk asked caitlin to show some id to pay for the room panic she can t find her id at all after a mild panic the id was located in her coat pocket whew glad that didn t happen at the airport we headed back downtown to shop at the collective a collection of little shops all in one and we ate pizza at and see the arch i mean you can t go to st louis and not see the arch did you know you can go inside the arch you did i didn t we went up and i am not really claustrophobic but the elevator was so small i almost didn t go up did you know st louis thinks it is famous for pizza weird we ate at pi which was made famous by obama eating there the arch the elevator for the arch picture doesn t really capture how small this is it was worth the trip and then off to the airport posted by moorhouse at 4 58 pm no comments wednesday december 25 2013 catholic school christmas our angel posted by moorhouse at 8 18 am no comments christmas 2013 christmas 2013 view the entire collection of cards posted by moorhouse at 8 17 am no comments sunday december 8 2013 9 months corben enjoyed his first thanksgiving my favorite holiday and even sampled a bit of turkey we hosted our first house guests pop pop and grandma cathy at our new home the new playroom guest room combo worked out well and the kids loved all the extra attention bryan and corben are almost identical it s scary this was our first thanksgiving without nina even though she was here 91 years thanksgiving week was also her birthday i can t seem to separate the two nina and thanksgiving i made orange rolls for breakfast on thanksgiving nina would make those for us every time we stayed with her and sometimes just for lunch i am so lucky to have had her for almost 35 years and thanksgiving with family is a great reminder on to happier news auburn won the iron bowl and in truly dramatic fashion still cannot believe this game i let bryan and colin go to the game with the other football fanatics while my mom and i stayed back with the kids and colin s step mom mom and i were wine sipping muffled yelling to make sure the kids got a nap football fools i m sure cathy was truly horrified that women can act this way over football i have seen people videoing themselves watching sporting events at first i thought this was really odd ok it is still really odd but i really wish i had been videoing my kids when davis ran back that missed field goal cora had on her precious auburn dress connor was wearing his lucky auburn moorhouse shirt courtesy of one of our favorite alabama fans and both were double fisting shakers screaming auburn pretty much like maniacs corben didn t cry with all the excitement so he must have really understood the importance of this game sure it was an amazing win and i would love nothing more for auburn to win 2 more games this season but in alabama winning the iron bowl isn t the only thing or even everything but it sure makes the next 364 days tolerable we believe that the sunset the night of the game foreshadows the winner we also joke that you can t get to heaven in a red canoe because god s favorite colors are orange and blue see the sunset the night of the game at the lake and the sunset from the stadium looks less orange but i ll just blame the photographer ahem colin it was truly orange and blue over the weekend corben turned 9 months old he is cutting his top two teeth and one of them was pretty painless from my vantage point and the other one has been hurting all week long why do teeth take so long to come in i used to joke that i would pay 100k if i could have children already born with teeth on top of the teeth corben got a double ear infection these boys and ear infections he s been sleeping ok considering some nights are perfect other mornings start early and occasionally he is waking up at 1 30am the tooth is almost thru so i am hoping we are back to a normal routine soon mama is tired all the time he is cruising and thinking about taking a step but isn t quite steady enough yet thank goodness we are slowly introducing foods but it is much slower than usual because there is just so much else going on that sitting down to feed the poor baby doesn t happen usually unless we are eating dinner puffs are his friends everyone calls him the happy baby he isn t happy all the time but he loves people so he is happy about 99 of the time around new people corben weighs 19 pounds 13 ounces and is 29 inches tall so that is 55 for weight and 75 for height to compare connor at nine months was 20 pounds 2 ounces and 29 3 4 inches tall cora was 16 pounds 3 ounces and 28 inches long at 9 1 2 months we got our exterior work done to the new house finally honestly it didn t really take that long and it wasn t really disruptive but the kids couldn t play outside safely until it was finished well it is finished now that it is cold rainy and all my kids caught colds perfect ready for spring now oh and our backyard which used to be a pool and is now a beautiful green yard is covered in leaves i mean covered kicker is we have no trees in the backyard seriously can you imagine what it was like to clean a pool in a yard that has no trees but gets covered in leaves oh cora is all of terrible 2 but has her endearing moments she loves her corbie and is always looking out for him like when she makes sure he gets enough puffs so that she can give one for corben 20 for me he he posted by moorhouse at 10 04 pm no comments monday october 28 2013 corben 8 months plus some so corben is 8 months old what happened between 6 and 8 months well i didn t take the usual photo at 7 months i like to do it on the exact day and that didn t happen and in fact it didn t happen on any of the days from the exact day until today which is the 8 month mark terrible i know but so much has happened in this 7 month of corben s life that i feel like i might get a pass for month 7 colin was upset because he reminded me several times about the photo and was worried that i wouldn t have the photo for the month frame like cora has luckily corben doesn t have a monthly frame anyway back to what has been happening around here in place of the monthly photo shoot i ll sum it up we moved the last time we moved was 4 years ago and before that i moved to college and then from dorm to dorm to apartment but those don t really count when you can move all your stuff yourself doesn t count the last move was a slow move and very organized or that is how i remember it this move started off organized and methodical and ended up crazy fast chaos i ll just give this one example and it should explain everything colin packed most of our bedroom the morning of the move i went to put on some make up because that is what i do in the mornings and no make up bag he packed it honest guy mistake took over 1 week to find it located in a box labeled books misc dining room obviously so i wore 2 year old clinique bonus make up for a week and that is why corben doesn t have 7 month photos among other reasons as our baby approaches his first thanksgiving and christmas here is what he is into everything he is army crawling fast and regular crawling occasionally he doesn t need to crawl because army crawling is such good exercise and it takes him where he wants to go he started army crawling right when we moved in early october so he followed that skill with pulling up to standing on anything and everything he isn t walking or even really cruising yet thank goodness but it is going to happen soon corben is sooo funny he smiles at everyone and everything but he sure loves his big brother and sister he loves to eat and would probably eat all day like his sister but i don t have time to sit and feed him last night he had yummy mac and cheese with vegetables gerber style corben talks all the time babbling of course but all the time he must know he is going to have to fight for a voice in this family poor baby he is so sweet and smiley he can brighten up my day with just one look he has been napping really well twice a day and sleeping at night still cora has not been napping well or smiling well or really doing anything much other than whining and saying no all the time connor didn t have terrible twos but oh i think i have 2 terrible twos packed into one strong willed little girl she wants to do everything by herself me do it and apparently i was the same way shocking i know her favorite pastime is looking at photos on my phone and especially identifying auntie cait and uncle neal on instagram she has finally finally started singing the abc song she c...
