About Me

Elizabeth Ann Schaefer Mathews Past: Birthday - August 31, 1978 Hometown - Coppell, TX (near Dallas) College - Baylor University (sic 'em)Present: Married to Scott, Mom to Addison....my life has gotten pretty simple since I moved back from Chicago and had a baby....boy do they suck all the fun out of life - no, just kidding - love you Addy!!!!! My life is great - Scott goes to work and I stay home and play and eat bonbons - no, just kidding - love you scott!!!! I'm a full-time Mom, and I never realized just how "full-time" it would really be. This is definitely the most challenging job I've ever had, and absolutely the most rewarding. We are still enjoying living just outside of Austin, in Leander. It's gettin' to be grillin' season, so if you're in the neighborhood come on by for a Mathews Secret Marinade Steak!

First Dirty Word :(

Addy and I have been visiting my parents in Dallas this week.  We drove this weekend to their lakehouse in East Texas.  While there Addy learned her first dirty word.  She was trying to...

15 Month Appointment

Yay, Addy was such a trooper this morning at her 15 month dr apt.  She had to get three shots, and waa-waa-ed a bit, but recovered really quickly!  She is 31 inches (50%) and 20lbs 5oz (20%)...

MySpace/Pacifier

So, Addison and I have made a deal.....you see, she is using her pacifier way too much and I'm using this time sponge way too much.  So.......starting today we are going to be weaning together.&n...

Painting :(

Okay, that sentiment didn't last long.....after we were oh so successful in Addison's room we attempted to paint our new front door - a seemingly simple project, wouldn't you say?  Well, we bough...

Well, I just have to say that I am oh so proud of myself (and Gran-Nanny & Auntie Becca too).  This weekend we took on the challenge of turning Addison's little shoebox of a room into a littl...
