Catching up with the Hager's

It has been quite some time since I have last blogged!  I kind of just got off track with it, especially with raising a sweet little boy, working, and with my photography business on the side!  Anyways I decided its time to get back on track to update my blog every once in a while, especially for family who aren't around everyday to see the fun, energetic and oh so sweet moments that sweet Tripp brings to our lives each and every day!  So with this blog I will just post a few pics of our precious baby boy to give a view of just how fun and perfect he is ;) 

He Loves to play hide and seek ;)

Every day with this child brings more and more joy to my heart.  He is so full of fun and love for everyone and everything around him.  He has a fun little spirit and I can't even begin to think what I did with my life before him!  He is without a doubt the greatest accomplishment in my entire life and his daddy feels just the same!  He completes our every day and I'll never know how I got so lucky to be chosen as his mommy.  God is far to good to me, I'm beyond blessed, that is one thing for certain!

Eating is by far one of his favorite things to do!  How much actually makes it in his tummy not sure, but what is for certain is how much makes it ON his tummy, LOL!  

He is very demanding in the fact that everything has to be done HIMSELF.  Don't try to help, don't try to show him how its done!  He will figure it out himself, one way or another, he will discover some way to get the job done!  This part of him reminds me so much of his daddy ;) You can show them how to do something or suggest how to do something, but you better believe that they will come up with their own way that they think is brighter and better, haha ;) This is a good quality to have though, I know that he will be quick to learn and eager to do things ALL by himself!  Such a bright and smart little toot!

His most recent routine has been after bath time he wants to immediately brush his teeth!  At least its a good habit to have!

He is definitely a routine type person.  In the mornings he wakes up and he is READY for breakfast, if you are asleep, he will LET you know its time for him to eat, and he wants his food right then and there!  Once he is done with breakfast, which usually ends up all over him and the kitchen floor, then he knows its time for his bath!  LoL and after bath he wants to brush his teeth.  He thinks brushing his teeth is so funny! Its adorable to watch him learn and tell us what he wants.  A lot of the time we are trying to figure out what he is telling us, haha, but he definitely knows what he is trying to say because he will repeat the same thing over and over and just look at us like..."Come on momma and daddy, don't you understand!" This bright beautiful smile fills my entire days with more happiness and love than one girl can handle!  He has shown me and given me more JOY than I could ever have imagined. My darling Tripp Bug, you are your Momma's baby forever and always.  Your hand will always fit right into the palm of mine.  Never to old not to be Momma's baby boy!!

This photo was taken on July 4th 2012, my perfect little family!  

Blessed.  Plain and simple no other word could describe this life I have been given.  God gave me a man to call my husband.  This man loves me unconditionally and I love him exactly the same.  Finding him was no accident it was God's grand design!  He brought us together and together we have the sweetest, most handsome, wonderful, kind, loving, perfect little child.  God knew exactly what we needed in our lives and gave us this amazing little boy.  Never in a million years would I have expected or pictured myself with a little boy.  Especially growing up with ALL sisters.  But let me say this, I WOULD NEVER wish nothing more.  God has used this child to show me the kind of love that He has for us, His children, and for that I am and will always be grateful.  These two boys hold my heart and my heart will FOREVER be theirs.  So as mentioned above I am simply Blessed, blessed with a life that any girl would be lucky to have and I am thankful, grateful and humbled that God has given me these two precious hearts to have as mine.  I hope you have enjoyed the blog and I hope to keep it updated for all of you who can't always be as near as we would like!  Life is a beautiful gift and we are just living our lives and loving EVERY moment together!!!

This past week/weeekend

I haven't written in about a week, so let's see how much I remember lol.  Last weekend Joe and I went to Holiday world and little bug spent the day with Mamaw & Pop.  Joe and I enjoyed Holiday World, but of course we went on like the hottest day of the year and it was pretty crowded due to Labor Day Weekend.  However, Joe did happen to run into one of his cousins.  I can't remember his name (that's bad, I know).  I do remember that he thought it was Billy, but it ended up being Billy's brother and his wife and kid.  It was pretty random that of ALL the people there he happened to see someone he hadn't seen in quite a while.  So we talked for a bit while we waited in line to ride one of the water slides.  After our day at holiday world we headed back to get little man :) 

 Sunday was are usual, we went to church.  After church we ate at the Patio with mom, dad, erica, jenna, my aunt peyton, uncle russell and their kids, cameron, madelynn and mallory.  After filling our tummies we headed to the dreadful grocery store (Walmart).  However, Tripp did get some new foods to try which honestly sounded declicious and so far they have been good (since I always try everything he eats, cause I wanna know what it tastes like too).  LOL.  He got tons of new fruits and veggies and also some chicken and herb baby food as well as lasagna.  He has loved having something new :)  However, he still attacks us like he is starving when we have what I call "REAL" people food, haha.  So of course he gets to have the "REAL" people food too! 

 Labor Day we spent the day with neighbours and friends.  Our neighbourhood had a cookout/game day, which was alot of fun! Joe ended up winning the corn hole tourney we had, so of course you know he thought he was something ;) He won $8 though so I'm not complaining, lol! It was quite chilly on Monday so we were all wearing long sleeve shirts and by the end of the day Tripp was wearing a jacket with a hoodie.  He really enjoyed being outside and playing with all the other kids! It was all in all a good day!

 Wednesday night we had a weenie roast.  Aunt Jess, Jenna, and Erica came over to join in on the fun night ;) Nan and Pap also ended up coming for a little bit as well.  It was so funny to watch Tripp as we ate our smores.  He tried attacking Aunt Jess for hers, LOL.  We did give him some bread from the hotdog bun, which seemed to satisfy him :)  It was a beautiful night to sit in the back yard with a warm fire enjoying the company of family :) Would have been nice if ALL of the family could have been there as well!

The rest of the week pretty much went by as any typical day at our house.  Daddy and Mommy went to work, while Tripp Bug spent the day with Nan and Pap.  Then when work ended we picked up Tripp and and spent the rest of the night at home, having dinner and usually huggled up watching a movie :)  This week involved alot of playing, making messes, crawling anywhere and everywhere, huggling, kisses, eating, and even a trip for Tripp to see some chickens and farm animals with Nan and Pap (He was a little farmer that day) oh he looked so cute!

  Of course my Bug always looks cute!  We will see what the next few days have in store for our exciting life here in the Hager House!!!
