Let Summer begin!!

To me tomorrow officially kicks off summer. It's June 1 and the first day of VBS. While at the beach I realized that I can live without the computer and that I wanted to spend more time with the kids. So from now until school starts back on August 5, at least, I'm taking a cyber vacation. Ok well sort of. I'm logging off Facebook, blogs, MySpace (which I rarely got to now) but I will be checking my money saving sites for all the coupon goodies to be had. I mean hey this momma's got to save some money! So just know that I'm not MIA but taking a break. If you need me or would like to hang out call or text me...I'll be playing it old school this summer! Have a great summer!!!

In case you're not on Facebook...

umm, HEATHER, rumors are true and we are expecting baby #4 in late December. For those of you who have known us for any length of time you know that we always said that we would like 4 and for them to all be 18 months apart (yes I know you think we're crazy) however after Carleigh being a little head strong and then having Harrison we thought we were done. Ok let me re-phrase that...Jeremy WAS DONE!! :) However as you know it only takes once and God had other plans for us. Now that it has sunk in a little we are excited but nervous all at the same time. I ask that you been in prayer with us that this too is a healthy pregnancy. I show no symptoms to be worried about, but I just feel like we're playing Russian Roulette. We went to the doctor today and she confirmed that everything looked GREAT and that there is only 1 but to think God would allow us to have 4 healthy beautiful children completely blows me away.

Now to answer all the gilie questions...I'm 8 1/2 weeks along. I feel great (I praise Jesus that He allows me to have easy pregnancies) except first thing in the morning before I eat or if I've gone a little too long without eating...(I'm not a snacker). My actual due date is January 4 however I have never made it to my due date so myself and my doctor are fully expecting a December baby. Do we want a boy? We just want healthy! I would love to have another little boy so Harrison could have a little brother but healthy is more important than gender. Are we done? Pretty sure Jeremy will be making an appointment in the next 6 months! :)

Florida 2009

We had a really good time on our trip to Florida, although we would have preferred the weather to be a bit better. We got there late Friday night so we went straight to bed and then got up Saturday had breakfast and headed to the beach. This was the first time the kids had been to the beach and surprisingly they all did really well. Gracie was more hesitant than the rest but Carleigh and Harrison loved it. While we were there we also took the kids to go play Putt-Putt for the first time, primarily because the day we went it never got to 70 degrees. Here are some pictures from our trip..I hope you enjoy them!

Harrison's 1st Birthday

I am so glad that I am finally able to post pictures from Harrison's special day. We celebrated at our house with just family and even though the day wasn't as pretty as I was hoping it still turned out to be a great party. As you can see I'm not an event organizer but we had the necessities...food, drinks, cake, ice cream, and balloons!






thank you to everyone who came!

I don't have kids I have monkeys!

Ok so maybe I do have kids, they're just C-R-A-Z-Y!!!

Weeks 2 & 3 update

There will be NO horn tooting going on this week. :) I haven't been able to do my video since week 1 because I pulled something in my shin and well you know life happened. It seems like things have been really busy and yet nothing all at the same time. Someone please tell me I'm not the only one who deals with this! Overall I have lost just shy of 5 pounds but more importantly I'm back in clothes I haven't worn in 2-3 years. YIPPEE!! To date there are 10 days before we leave so I'm going to do my best to get back into the workout routine and see how close to my original goal of 10 pounds I can get. Wish me luck and I'll keep you posted!
