before I forget moments

Archer I could NEVER forget these few funny and precious moments brought to us by you and your little personality!
1-back in October 2009 (I forgot to BLOG it then, but have to do it know so it is NEVER forgotten) you were having trouble sleeping due to the Halloween decorations around the neighborhood- they were scarey, which I would have to agree! Whatever happen to sweet pumpkins and scarecrows in yards- who though skulls where cool or neat in your yards? Anyways, your Daddy and I would tell you at night that God was watching over you while you slept and HE was protecting you that you need not to worry and it was okay to sleep and not be scared- you agreed on most nights after that in fact the first night we told you that I pointed to your cross and said SEE JESUS is right there in fact HE is always with you and HE will watch over you and protect you- (you took a deep breathe and quickly went to sleep that night)! So a few days later we were all playing in your room minus Daddy cause he was at work and I had to run into the kitchen to get a drink and I asked you to stay in the room with Ashton to watch over him and protect him (people our kitchen was maybe 20 steps away if that)...As I closed the frig- you were standing there and I said Archer you were suppose to be watching Ashton- you then told me don't worry JESUS is in there and HE is protecting him as you grind very proudly! HOW COULD I ARGUE over that one!
2-playgrounds and rooms where your "friends" are you run into the room like you own it and loudly say, "hey guys- I'm here let's play and you join right in with people you've never meet or those you are pals with! You know no stranger and think your 10, just like the older kids and hang with them very well if I may say so, but some of those kiddos aren't too nice and you just keep smiling and try to explain to them how to play!
3-TODAY- we meet some friends at MCM to play and you told Hudson as you touched the top of his hair- it was messy and then touched yours and said, "mine is fixed!" grinning and all- now I did not witness this, but Hudson's mommy did and she cracked up! Archer you are very particular about your hair and do not like to have messy hair in fact that is how I suggest to you most days- Archer lets fix your hair- no thanks-Archer do you want messy hair-no- okay then come here and we spike it up and you check yourself out and smile as you make sure it is standing straight up!

little man...

Why oh why does time fly when life is so good and you are enjoying every moment- that is with your kiddos that is! Ashton just celebrated his 11 month birthday and now we are preparing for his 1st birthday! I just can't believe it! My baby is almost not a baby anymore to society's standard, but let me tell you what this mamma is not having it any other way at least for a little while longer!

Dear Ashton Creed,
You are such a character, which we already knew that, but let me tell you what everyday you just crack me up! You crawl up a storm and you kinda wiggle as you crawl, especially when you are chasing your big brother around! You giggle like there is no tomorrow and smile at a drop of a hat! You and your brother are really playing more together as a team and Archer is always trying to "help" you, but you end up getting upset and crying- then Archer is quite confused! Archer has a "tool" box that has lighting mcqueen on it that he carries his favorite toys of the week around in and you were starting to really grab ahold of it as though it was your own, so we had to quickly get you one, so that there would not be brotherly feuds every minute of every day! You like to open the lid and take everything out and then put everything back in then proceed to stand up with a giant smile the size of the US and then carry on about your day! You have become attached to several things: monkey lovey, and two blankets, one of which was Archers and has his name monogrammed on it, so we are going to have your name put on it in the opposite corner, but I've gotta figure out when and how around your nap time! You are like lynoel from Charlie Brown- you wake up in the morning with it in your hand and smiling (btw: the blanket it is blue)! Walking- well lets just say you could of walked like 2 months ago, but would rather your Mamma (that's what you call me- Archer calls me Mommy) pick ya up and take you to point B from point A- it is faster! Well now I'm kinda making you until you fall onto your knees and bounce until I either walk away (tear) or pick you up or you crawl away! You LOVE TO EAT and I'm talking EAT a lot and you want whatever we are eating-forget the baby food and don't even try and fool you with it! Although you only have 4 teeth- you surely make it work for you! You are truly a lover and always hugging and kissing your Mamma, Dada, and your Arrchrrr! You even reached out this month to grab my hand and hold it while we shopped around for who knows what- I just remember you holding my hand! I love you dearly and can't believe my little man is turning one before I know it!
love your mamma-

only in HOUSTON!

This was back from September 2010, but I just found the picture and FOLKS I'm really try to catch up from the lack of blogging, which is frustrating me- anyways ENJOY a few laughs!
This is at a gas station near Oak Forest and Garden Oaks off 610- YES that is a man on a horse at the gas station! Only in Houston, Texas would one encounter this situation in the CITY!

gotta love the holiday festivities

A full day of activities from our church, Candy Cane Lane, to the Bass Pro Shop visiting Santa! Our church, Houstons First Baptist had an amazing event for the kiddos Archer and Ashton's age surrounded by things just for them to do... Archer and I made an ornament, Christmas cards, and got a story about JESUS to read us! Andrew and Archer made a candy cane cookie, decorated it, and of course ate all of it! Thereafter he immediately jumped away any sugar that was in his little body in the bounce houses- and I tell you there were LOTS of them for him to play on! Plus he ran into his friends and had even more fun while doing so!



Here's Ashton crawling around and trying to climb on the soft obstacle course just for him- gotta love his hair- pure craziness!

Outside there was a LIVE nativity scene that we checked out-PEOPLE we had a camel, which neither of the boys were too sure about it!

Ashton wanted so badly to go ride the horse with his big brother Archer, but he had to sit this round out while all bundled up! BRRR...it was a very cold day for this! ps- this was your first day in your 3rd new stroller! I think we are sticking with this one...so Daddy hopes!

Check out my BIG boy riding the horse all by himself- he was having SO much fun- can't you just see the joy in his face! Afterwards he spent some time loving on the horse- they really bonded!

Here's my boys at the Bass Pro Shop out in front standing by some old car that Andrew is going to fussy at me for not knowing- since he talks about cars and loves them so much, especially old ones- the history and look of them- timeless, but anyways they are just the love of my life, other than GOD!



A little blurry, but look Archer is actually hugging Santa- this Santa was so sweet- told him to be good for Mommy and Daddy and that Santa loved him and was going to try very hard to get him what he wanted for Christmas...We will surely go back again next year- they had the BEST set up for Santa- free picture and if you wanted more they were WAY cheaper than the mall, plus while you were waiting in line they had a craft table set up for kiddos to do a craft (we made a reindeer ornament-SUPER CUTE), a train and trucks to play with that were remote controlled, and a "hunting" station (see picture below)! It was perfect for kiddos!
Daddy and Archer practicing their Archery! LOL! :)

Life size nutcrackers- he loves them thanks to his Mimi- every year she gets the grandchildren a nutcracker the kids name them and she writes the year and name on the bottom! What a sweet memory and precious treasure...

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!

gobbling cute boys...

are we brothers or what?
-gobbling CUTE brothers-
I just LOVE my little boys to pieces!
VERY thankful for them BOTH!

What are you thankful for?
leave your comments...

I'm thankful for the blessings of children!Archer is just a ray of sunshine! FULL of life and LOVE!
100% BOY

...and then there is my Mama's BOY!
Ashton is my bright eyed cuddle bug!

I couldn't imagine Andrew's and I's life without our little monkey and squirmy worm! We are truly thankful- just when life has got you down- there is a little person staring right at you with a grin from ear to ear to brighten your day-
DEAR LORD, thank you SO MUCH...
forever your child- Tiffany Fuller

ps- as I finish up this post Ashton has managed to crawl into the bathroom and is trying to get into the toilet bowl! Oh dear the days of crawlers!

I'm thankful that I just cleaned the bathroom!

caught with his hand in the bowl...
I'm sure this is NOT the last time!

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!

GOBBLE, GOBBLE!

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!
