Lil' longhorn

Well here is my handsome little longhorn! I put him in this last Friday since Nathan was coming home and I knew his dad would be proud. I couldn't believe how darn cute he looked in it :) It's also amazing to me how much he is growing up. I can't believe that he will be 3 months old in less than a week. Speaking of that, I'm not sure if I go by the actual date of the 14th, or the weeks, because if you go by weeks, he is 12 weeks old. Oh well, either way, he's growing up.
Another reason that I put him in the outfit was because it was the first UT football game of the season. Our friends from Vegas, the Purvis' were in town so we took them down to show them what a real football game is all about. The weather actually wasn't that bad and we had fun. Next time though I want to actually go in the gates! :)

My happy boy!

Here is a picture my Grandma Sarah took last night while we were out on our walk. He was talking to her and obviously enjoyed it. Seeing him smile just melts my heart, especially when he sees me and smiles. :)

HELP!!

I need some help on figuring out this blog layout thing! Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Time flies when you're having fun...

This has two meanings for me, one that my baby boy is 2 1/2 months old!!! And second that Nathan will be leaving again for California on Sunday, it seems like just yesterday he left the first time. Fortunately I was able to stay with my parents the first time he left and this time, my grandmother will be coming from Plano to stay with Crawford and I, but oh how I miss Nathan. I knew we were a perfect match/team but having Crawford has proved it even more. I just don't feel like we're complete without him there. He's the yin to my yang, the coffee for my cup, my umbrella for the rain, the coat to keep me warm from the cold, he's my EVERYTHING!! I am realizing even more now how blessed I am to call him my husband, my teammate, my friend, the father of my baby, and my love!

All this reflecting is because he's leaving in a few days and because yesterday is that day that I met him 10 YEARS AGO!!!! Crazy huh?!

I LOVE YOU NATHAN JAMES DONALD MATTOX!!!

This is harder than I thought!

I have ALWAYS been someone that said I wasn't "cut out" to be a stay at home mom. What the heck was I thinking? I would LOVE to be able to stay at home with my baby boy all day. It literally breaks my heart and makes me want to start crying right now knowing that someone else will be feeding him, changing him, rocking him to sleep, and playing with him. I also know that I am so blessed to have him here on campus with me so I can go see him whenever I want, which believe me, I have surely done! Miss Marissa his teacher is wonderful, but she's not me, his mommy. I know that things will get better, but boy do I wish Nathan and I had planned better. My hope and prayer is that I can go part time soon! Until then I just keep praying for my sanity!!

Crawford & Granpa
