pregnancy update...

So I went for my ultrasound/ dr. appt. on Thursday. Everything went well. I have somehow managed to lose three pounds since my first visit which the doctor scolded me for. I assured him that I was not losing the weight on purpose, and reminded him that if I was purposefully trying to lose weight I wouldn't be successful. The culprit must be my constant nausea. I gag at random all day long. It doesn't matter whether I have an empty stomach, or terribly full. It doesn't matter if it is 6:00 A.M. or 8:00 P.M. I will be nauseous. He reassured me that this should pass sometime in the next few weeks. So while I am apparently shrinking(yeah right) The baby is growing right on schedule...actually a little bit ahead. I also told Dr. Huggins that I have been crazy tired the past month or more to which he replied...and I quote,"Well, you are getting older." To which I quickly reminded him, "I am only 25 and will turn 26 only a month before the baby is born! Anyway, I go back to the doctor in a 4 weeks exactly! I'll update everyone then!

The soundtrack to my blog!

So I know the Dixie Chicks have their faults, but I think that this is by far the sweetest lullaby for little boys that is out there. I know one day when they are grown and gone I will listen to this song in tears because it so embodies where our lives are at right now. I try to enjoy every moment because I know they are fleeting. That's enough sentimentality. Tonight the boys are having their first "rag-ball" practice with daddy as their coach. Say a prayer for Coach Mike...this is going to be an adventure. Updates to come! Blog ya later

Smile for the camera... I know they're gonna love ya!

So I really feel like this entry needs no explanation. These are absolutely the 2 sweetest little boys any mommy could ever wish for. They are a blessing everyday and Mikey and I couldn't be more proud or in love with them. I know it's cliche, but you just can't imagine loving anything or anyone as much as you do your kids...until you have them. These were taken just before bedtime which is when the boys are at their silliest. I hope you all enjoy!

One wild Night!

So when Huett and Sam's rooms were torn apart, in between furniture deliveries and painting, we had a slumber party in our den. Initially Mikey and I were going to be sleeping on our huge sectional...at separate ends...and the boys were going to be in the floor, but as you will see in these pictures, that is not how it ended.



I woke up around 1 AM and this is how Huett and Mikey were laying...so sweet!



This is a picture of how Sam just flipped and flopped all over the pallet!



This is how the night all got started out. Don't they look peaceful...



After things started to get a little rowdy between the boys Mikey decided to climb in the floor with them to separate them



I woke up around 3 AM and this is how Sam was sleeping. He had turned almost completely upside down and was snuggled up to the couch.



Mikey was able to calm the boys for a few minutes by laying in between them and then this began...



There were alot of wrestling moves going on before we finally got them settled down. All in all, it was a blast. I didn't sleep much at all as proved by all of the late nite pics, so I ran away to our bed around 4:00 AM, but we will totally do it all over again. It was fun fun fun!

Mikey's 27th birthday!

For Mikey's 27th Birthday we took a little drive to Oakman, AL to go eat at Bullpen Restaurant. It was delicious and we had a blast! These are the pictures from that night.



This is a picture of Sam trying to help Mikey blow out his birthday candles! Bless his heart, I don't think any air was coming out of his mouth at all.



Huett took a little ride on an antique rocking horse at The bullpen.



This is a picture of the boys helping Mikey blow out his birthday candles.



Sambo and Mikey...like father like son



this is such a good picture of Huett and his Maw-Maw.(Mikey's mom...as if you couldn't tell.)



This is Sam's biggest smile



This is a picture of our little family after dinner. A spend-the-night party followed, which I will address in my next post.!

Teagan's 1st Birthday party!

This cute slideshow is of Teagan's 1st birthday party! She had a Strawberry Shortcake birthday and it was a blast! She wasn't too sure about diving into her cake but she liked it! She got lots of great toys and had a blast playing outside with the kids! Happy Birthday Teagan!

Turn up your volume!

In honor of Valentine's Day I have made a playlist of the music that Mikey and I had at our wedding. So I am taking everyone back 4 years in the romance department. Funny enough I still love all three of these songs. I got a little sentimental when I was listening them through for the first time! Anyways I hope everyone enjoys them.
