Merry Christmas!
ALRIGHT folks- you are probably guessing where your Christmas card is from the Fullers- WELL I didn't do them this year! You would think with me being at home and not working that I would of done them, especially since it is Ashton's first Christmas! I didn't and I'm kicking myself in the bum, but with the crazy move and planning social events my life was a little crazy this season! Excuses, excuses I know, but you gotta love us still even though you didn't get a card in the mail, so take this post and enjoy the boys with Santa! I'll catch ya next year for sure once we are settled in our home that God blesses us with where ever that maybe?! I tried to ask Santa, but they said I was too big- are you ever too big? Good thing I've got GOD and prayers! Remember JESUS is the REASON for the SEASON! Happy Birthday JESUS!

DEAR LORD, thank you SO MUCH...
forever your child- Tiffany Fuller

I'm thankful that I just cleaned the bathroom!

craft projects...
I had extra tulle left over from the tutu bow holder I made back in September, so I decided to make my friend's daughter, Abagail, a trick or treat tutu bag since we were going over there for a Halloween party this past Sunday! Afterwards, she can use it as a little purse!
... I did cut that random piece hanging after I saw this picture!
NOW that Halloween is over and we are into November- VOLIA a turkey shirt for my "Monkey"- aka :Archer! NEVER fear- Ashton will be getting one too! BUT they did not have the same shirt, so I HAD to buy Archer another one that will match Ashton, so NOW I have an extra 3T shirt with no little boy to wear it, so if anyone wants it- contact me smiletiff@hotmail.com, and we will arrange a delivery! Basically you could just pay for the material ($1.99 joanna's) and shirt ($4 target), since it was my practice run! NOW I have to make two more for my worm and monkey! Plus I'm gonna make Abagail one from the request of her Mom: a TUTU turkey- can't wait! I'll post pictures for sure!
Ciao for now!
Update as of 1:29pm- sold the practice run shirt, so if you want one I can make if for $10 ONLY, plus the cost of the shirt, so depending on the shirt you pick- you could get a gobble shirt for less than $15! WOW What a DEAL!

zoo boo
We just LOVE the ZOO and the membership was the BEST gift ever (thanks Folh family), because I think we go at least once a week if not more while the weather is NICE!
This past Friday we went to ZOO BOO, which was too cute, except I did not get the Mommy memo that you were suppose to dress your kiddos up and bring their trick or treat bags! They had pumpkins decorating the zoo from the trees, in the animals "homes", and through out the park area!
Archer had SO much FUN-he got tattooed, temporary, got to "trunk or trick", and pick a pumpkin out of the "patch" to take home and now it has stickers ALL over it!
Ashton, "what is that?" He is sitting in a wagon at the pumpkin patch in the zoo holding his pumpkin that did not make it home!
An animal troff was filled with pumpkins and of course I had to sit the boys in it, but I could never get the both of them to focus- there was way too much going on for the two of them PLUS there was a huge line of MOMs wanting their turn too!
...and then Archer did not want to sit next to the scarecrow! It was scary! I thought to myself how can a little guy made of straw with a smile be scary?! Oh well...
Nana, my mom, came along with us and her and Archer were brushing the goats hair! Archer was so proud of himself! He just loves his Nana and I treasure the special times that we all can spend together, especially our picnic lunch that we had!

Brett's Birthday!
My little brother turned 25 this past Saturday, so the whole family celebrated at his favorite Mexican food restaurant with his favorite drink- it was quite entertaining!
My Mom and Brett, little brother, with my little angels- Archer and Ashton!
Uncle Cody, my little older brother, with Ashton- look how happy Ashton is with his Uncle Cody!
My Mom and Brett, little brother, with my little angels- Archer and Ashton!
Uncle Cody, my little older brother, with Ashton- look how happy Ashton is with his Uncle Cody!
Before we got the restaurant- almost 30 minutes early- Ashton was in one outfit until we went to get him out of the car! He got a hold of Archer's water bottle in the back and needless to say spilled the whole thing all over him, so we went to Wal-Mart across the way and redressed him, otherwise he would of looked and felt like he just dove into the pool for a swim! Gotta love the look- $3 vintage looking shirt and $10 wrangler SUPER cute pants that cuffed at the bottom! I gotta find a closer Wal-Mart to us that's not ghetto...great bargains and I bet you didn't think it was from Wal-Mart!
teething?
The last two days have been a little rough to say the least...We, meaning Ashton and I, have been waking up every 2-3 hours and then around 3 or 4 we stay up and have a little "party" for about an hour and then cry ourselves to sleep after umm I don't know I lost count! I BELIEVE we are teething- I feel a sharpness on top and everything has been going into his mouth! Archer gave him a toothbrush to chew on and with the lack of sleep and needing to chew on something these pictures say the rest- no need for further words!
My poor baby boy and boy oh boy is he my baby boy!
MAMA's BOY to the MAX...
teething + lack of sleep = see pictures
My poor baby boy and boy oh boy is he my baby boy!MAMA's BOY to the MAX...
pumpkin carvings-THE RESULTS
The pumpkin that Archer and Andrew carved- it has taken over a week to get these results! Gotta have a HAPPY pumpkin- we don't like HALLOWEEN- it is scary! We like FALL and AUTUMN per Archer!
The pumpkin lite with a candle- how cool! What a BIG nose it has... Archer picked out the shape of the eyes and nose! Good job Archer!
Frankie, Archer, and Andrew looking good with the pumpkin...
Of course- Mommy and Archer! I don't think I was able to breathe, but never fear we got a picture with our heads in it minus part of the pumpkin!
I just had to share this with ya'll: My son was taking pictures in the buff- bottom buff! GOSH- I tell you what! The reason and the story goes like this: Right before we came outside to put the pumpkin out Archer went to the restroom and needless to say we realized he never put his underwear back on (sometimes he is a whirlwind and between two parents trying to accomplish one task that task doesn't get completed to the fullest because the other "did it"!) and I didn't know that until we got inside and he was jumping around and I saw his little bottom shinning at me!
-the fuller folks- fully unaware of their underwear! LOL!

missed by _______
for sure by two little boys and one big boy!
nothing like coming home and seeing little faces light up with JOY that their Mommy is home, while Daddy takes a deep breathe and realizes he now has his boys Mommy back- (sigh) his wife and LOVE!
I had a FABulous time on the retreat, but I will blog about that in the next day or so, but I MUST share this evening before I forget the details of the sweetness!
Our normal routine- Andrew baths the boys one at a time- I feed and rock Ashton to sleep, Andrew finishes Archer's bath and then they read a book, sing a song, and prayer! I finish up with a hug and a kiss while making him snug as a bug in his bed- making sure his sheets are just right! Well we did all of that, but Archer wanted more Mommy time...
Picture this- he has pulled my head against his and pressed our checks together while his little arms wrapped around my neck and tells me shh...look at my turtle- it has lights in it- his is mad! I told Archer he is not mad- he is sleeping! Archer, "No Mommy-look at him!" I'm done (he released his arms from my neck) you can go! Shh though Ashton is sleeping- tippy toe! Night! Tell lovy night and my 2 Georges (stuffed animals-Monkey)! Mommy said "NIGHT!"
To the living room I went and Archer follows shortly there after...
I don't recall the last time he wanted me to rock him and I miss that so much- just the sweetness of those times! I sang to him and he rested his little head upon my shoulders and then suddenly raised up and asked me about my bobo! I showed him and he kissed it and said I love you and then rested his head again upon my shoulders! OK- my heart just melted! I then lay ed him down in his bed and the said he needed to fix my hair, so he ran his little hands through my hair and said turn-look at your shadow-I did and then he not done yet- YES I know he was procrastinating, but I will buy it since I was gone last night and he had a ROUGH night! Once he was done he told me I was pretty then smacked me with a kiss- asked me what my throat was- he then showed me where his "throap" (that is how he said it) and then grinned really big and lay ed down...
I just LOVE my boys and are SO blessed by their sweetness! God PROVIDED so much this weekend for me- a wealth of knowledge, HE filled my well with HIS words- HOPE, friendships that I couldn't of prayed for, because they are better than my prayers- they are just AMAZING, and children that LOVE, as well as a husband that sacrificed his sanity to give me a chance to get away! Thanks to my dear husband for allow this all to take place!

retreat
I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again...okay not really, but I am going to Houston's First Baptist Women's retreat in less than 4 hours to recharge my battery! I can't wait...
1. Packed my bag- I did good only one bag- I know it is only for a day and in 1/2, but I am the WORST at over packing! Go figure! When Andrew and I were dating we went on a trip with his folks and I packed SO much that when he picked me up in his BMW-Z3 (limited storage) to meet his parents he was like- this all can't go! I said YES it has to! I can't not take everything I packed! So he smiled and kindly crammed it into his car and POP- the window on the top, which was convertible and some kind of plastic tore! Oh dear- not a way you want to start a trip! Needless to say- I really didn't need everything I packed (a pair of shoes per outfit, which I packed double outfits depending on outing and mood of the day for 10 days)! PLUS, I packed my books to study? I was in college and was trying to do good while gone, so now I am forced to pack what is "needed"! Also I learned that Andrew was and is very patient with me and he did not explode during a "major" blow out all while my parents stood there to witness a not so good thing...
2. Made a LIST for Andrew (husband) so that the boys don't go hungry and get sleep deprived! example: 8am feed Ashton baby food mixed with 1 scoop of oatmeal, 9-9:30 bottle and nap (usually an hour) You get the idea and I come home to hopefully happy rested kiddos and not too stressed out Daddy!
3. Waiting till 4pm for Jodie to come get me so we can go check into hotel and meet the gals for dinner! (thanks for coming to get me Jodie- Andrew needs my car for the boys and running around)
4. Thankful Daughter- Mom is coming over from Conroe to watch the boys so that I can leave and accomplish #3! She is also bringing the boys dinner, so that they don't have to cook! She ROCKS and Andrew is super happy cause it is shrimp alfredo and that is one of his FAVorites!
So off I go to fill my well with the LORD's words and some amazing gals! Ciao-

Archer waving goodbye and telling me not to worry he will take care of Daddy and Squirmy Worm (Ashton)- really it was from the park this week and he was running away from me, because he didn't want to leave nor have a picture taken by me...

pumpkin patch
I am so blessed to have an amazing photographer as a friend, Sarah Craig with Fish Lips Photography! She joined a group of us at the pumpkin patch and took some ROCKing photos of the boys, which was pretty hard to do considering they just wanted to run around and get into everything! What a treat- thanks Sarah for our mini fall session!
I know I've told you before to check out her blog- http://www.thecraiglife.blogspot.com and website- http://www.fishlipsphotography.com , but you just gotta- she has unbelievable prices and is FABulous with kids! You would be silly NOT to use her for your family, kids, maternity shots, wedding, engagements, or for FUN! Heck- you'll have fun no matter what and LOVE your pictures and make a new friend!
SO full of life and JOY- this kid just lights up my world! I am SO blessed by Archer- he is ALWAYS laughing, running, and TALKing up a storm!
I JUST love this squirmy worm to pieces (Archer created a nickname for Ashton- because he is always moving around)! He is SO sweet and precious- he melts my heart!
Now- getting both boys to focus was a tad challenging with all the excitement, so Archer was trying to get Ashton's and then...Ashton started crying, so the end! Precious photo of my Monkey (Archer) and Squirmy Worm (Ashton)! Pure LOVE among two little brothers!
CLICK here: Pumpkin Patch Cuties- to see many more of my friends kiddos that we are SO blessed by! Just ask Archer about any of the kids and he will have a story or two about each one of them that will have you rolling in your chair!
Happy FALL

fall is in the air...
Putting fall up in our house...pumpkins on tables, harvest blessings posted on our kitchen counter and the scents of pumpkin pie burning fill our home!
Archer and Frankie, as we call him, are NOW friends- the first year we had him Archer was NOT sure, but would sit next to him, the second year- we had to put him away, and this year he is giving him hugs!
A flash back, 2008, of Archer and Frankie at the Heights house...
Our front door with a wreath that I made about 2 years ago- bow and all!
Ashton sitting in the park enjoying a picnic, after the pumpkin patch, yesterday at M&M, which is once a month meeting of the gals and kiddos from our Sunday School class where we just enjoy an outing somewhere in Houston for fun! This month was a pumpkin patch picnic!
Archer and Micah sitting in the wagon at the pumpkin patch- it was hard getting the two of them to focus and smile at the same time- they really did not want to smile! In fact Micah told his Mommy- no more smile Mommy! We kept trying to get a picture of them together, but it wasn't working, so Ally thought sit them in a wagon- they can't move to fast out of it, so here it is!
Archer is SUPER strong- I was SHOCKED! He kept pulling Avery and other kiddos around at the patch, plus the pumpkins! He just loves Avery- "she is pretty"!
Ashton and Will hanging out on the wagon! Ashton (7 1/2 months and Will 1 year old) and are like little twins- same size and all!
TOO precious! Will's Mommy is my dear friend Jodie, whom would of thought we would have two boys each of us- GOD did and HE knew what HE was doing! Thanks!
Archer pulling, Emilee pushing, and Micah, Hannah, and Luke riding! Strong kiddos having SUCH a blast! This is what life is about! What a treasured time- SO blessed to be home and enjoying these moments!
One final picture of my littlest pumpkin in the patch! What a joyous day we all had- I just LOVE my dear friends- they are truly blessing in our lives!

Aubrey's party
Gosh- I wish I would of taken a picture of Aubrey's birthday cake- it was a lady bug themed party and Kristen, her Mommy, made the MOST amazing cake! It LOOKED professional and was yummy! Aubrey is a cute petite girl that we are blessed to be apart of her life- she is the Mommy of the kiddos and it is too sweet to watch!
The kids: Avery, Archer, Aaron (Aubrey's dad), and Emilee playing with Silly String on the a gorgeous day for playing outside! Thanks LORD!
Archer and the birthday girl playing with the shopping cart- she looked puzzled- I'm sure Archer was having a hard time sharing with her! We are really working on this- you are getting better Archer- Mommy is proud of you!
In the meantime while the partying was going on- two little ones were discovering each other! Laurel, Micah's brother, and Ashton were playing in the living room- they kept touching each others face, not sure of each other!
Ashton, "umm, what is she doing? Is she checking me out?" Laurel, "he is pretty cute- I think I might like him!" LOL!

Ashton, "umm, what is she doing? Is she checking me out?" Laurel, "he is pretty cute- I think I might like him!" LOL!
I-10 and giraffe
Every week we take I-10 towards Memorial for small groups and Archer always screams giraffe even when it is dark! At first we were not sure what he was talking about, because you can barely see it from the freeway! You may be asking me where is this and why is there a giraffe? Memorial Hermann is building a Children's hospital and of course they have a fence surrounding the area with cute animals and signage! So being the silly Mom I am we stopped this weekend after Aubrey's birthday party to mark the memory!
Archer standing underneath the giraffe! He was super excited about seeing him up close!
A big building was shading part of the giraffe and Archer, but you get the point and it makes it mark in the Fuller history book of cute moments!
Archer Mommy loves how much you pay attention to your surroundings and can see things that even Mommy and Daddy can't, whether it be cause we are "grown" ups or because it is soooo small and you have amazing eye sight, which neither of your parents do!
The best thing about "things" you point out to us is that I have learned again to see life in a different perspective!
Thank you GOD for the blessing of Archer!

guys night
Yesterday was cleaning day and I washed sheets too, but Archer's were not dry in time for bedtime, so Andrew and Archer got the spare set and where making his bed while I finished washing dishes! I heard giggling, so I walked into the room and this is what I found...
boys playing under a "tent" made instead of the bed...umm...this is what happens when you leave little ones unattended! LOL! :)
I think every little boy makes tents at some point in his life with sheets and blankets, so Andrew decided to join in the fun and they told stories under the tent and laughed! Precious moments in their journey as father and son....

brotherly love
I just love these two and how precious are they? This is NOT a question for those reading! :-) I am SO blessed that God has given Andrew and I the most two precious treasures in our lives to teach, love, and grow into Godly men! I downloaded my CD of images onto my computer from my photo shoot with Sarah Craig, http://www.fishlipsphotography.com, while I should be playing with the boys, but couldn't wait any longer! Archer is behind me playing with his Play-Do while singing and Ashton is down on the floor crawling around and playing with the kitchen spoons! Such sweet times- SUPER DUPER blessed to be able to stay at home- THANKS God for providing for our family in ways we never imagined!
I'll share many more pictures, but this is where my heart melted...Why? Well lets see Archer is staring off very innocently with a lil' grin and Ashton is "loving" on his big brother and looking at him in aww with a sweet touch upon Archer's head! I'm glad I have this- gonna bottle this moment up-I'm sure there will be times they would not attempt to this kinda brotherly love!
Dear Archer and Ashton-
Mommy loves you very dearly and am so glad God picked me to be your Mom! Not only do I pray that you walk in a Godly manner, even more so that your Daddy and I, but that you treasure your brother! Siblings are a blessing...
XOXO
BTW: before I finished this post- I found out I've gotta MOVE the dog food! Oh dear!

Mimi
This is Andrew's Mom or as Mimi says my 2nd Mother! :) We just love her to pieces and are treasuring every moment we can spend with her!
My dear red-headed Ashton and his Mimi Sunday night! We've gone over there the past 2 Sunday nights and we've brought dinner and had salads together! We sat outside last night and it was so wonderful- cool breeze and sweet family time!
Archer brings some books for Mimi to read to him and we just sit back and enjoy each others company! Sweet precious times...
(video to be attached soon...file error during upload)
The funniest thing was said last weekend- Archer asked Mimi at dinner, "Where is your husband?" What I thought? How in the world does he know what that is and where did he get that? Who knows, but is was a cute moment! The answer: Papa is in the hospital and has been there for the last 2 months...
Please pray for Mimi and Papa as they are both going through some health issues! Thanks- the Fuller Folks

country?
Saturday night we went out to my grandparents in Magnolia and Andrew always teases me about being a small town country girl- well I'm NOT! He just came from the CITY and I came from the burbs, so there! Anyways- I had to vent! LOL!
My grandparents neighbors have horses and Archer immediately wanted to go see them when we got out of the car...
They were super friendly and very tame...Archer learned a new sound from them- the kind when they shake their lips!
Andrew and Archer petting the other one- they have 3 horses and one foll! It was a nice treat for Archer and Ashton- well he just kept waving his little hands up and down in excitement!
After a train birthday party and evening at my grandparents- it was surely time for a FUN bath- here is Archer with a beard already at 2! GOSH- time flies! LOL! We had such a great time at my grandparents, Granny and Pops, it is SUCH a blessing that Archer and them have the chance to play and enjoy each other! I was very blessed in the fact I knew my great-great grandparents I mean I actually knew them and my great- grandparents were like my grandparents- the pluses to having young parents! I just love my Granny and Pops, so it brings JOY to me to watch Archer and Ashton play with them!

trains, trains...
Archer and Ashton's friends Luke (2) and Will (1) celebrated their birthdays in style- with trains and loads of backyard fun!
ALL ABOARD- conductor Ashton was enjoying the party, so much to see and watch! Jodie (Luke and Will's Mommy and my sweet dear friend) had put together a gift for the kiddos: conductor hats and scarfs for them to wear during their train rides! Her little boys were dressed in their overalls and hats- too cute!
Archer and Andrew on the train ride- we were the caboose this time around- what a fun adventure for the kids that morning!
Oh look our little friend Avery with her cool shades- a girl after my own heart! Are hers bigger than mine? Umm! I wish Gymboree made those shades my size! Ashton was busy watching the ground as we road on the train too!
Gotta love the Hearn gals- Laura and Sarah! I've blogged about Laura before, Trey's mom- Archer's buddy's mom, - check it out- this is whom our boys have 1st choice on- Sarah! This Momma is a ROCKIN Momma- God LOVING, LIVING, and full of LIFE! So blessed by her friendship!
Oh look- there is Trey and Archer! Trey was not too sure about me taking his picture and Archer was like I'll smile if we can get this over and start the train ride! He cried, but I think he was getting hot waiting for the conductor to get the ride going...
We had a blast and it was so much fun! Good job JODIE- super party and loads of fun!
