We are so blessed to have you, Miss Addy Grace.

My Heart

2011-08-22T20:44:00.000-07:00

One day, God thought enough of me to give me you

With your big, blue eyes

and sweet, red cheeks I fell so in love.

Just when I thought I had no room in my heart to love anything else

God literally shined HIS face upon me a second time

and gave me this

Oh and how I love her

With her fat, little rolls

those pouty, red lips

and gorgeous blue eyes

My cup over floweth...

Oh LORD, Thank YOU, Thank YOU for these precious gifts.

Trains!

2011-08-22T20:00:00.001-07:00

Noah loves Thomas the Train

He loves to build tracks, watch the wheels turn, match the engines to the correct tender

He plays with Thomas until he can't hold his head up

And then plays some more

Oh, look those sweet little hands

I want a snack

Well more like, I want a SNAAAAACK?!?

I love him more and more each day, watch out- my heart may explode!

Stock Show 2011

2011-03-17T08:59:00.000-07:00

For years I have gone to the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo and now I get to take my kids!

Noah loved the petting zoo!

My favorite cowboy!

My little guy didn't like the rides.

So Daddy rode some rides to get rid of our tickets

Brave guy..

We cheered him on from the side :)

Mmmm, cotton candy!

Watching a cow get milked.

Then we had dinner at Reata's at the Rodeo- yummy!

Addy's cowgirl dress that me, Grandmommy, & Mike made!!

Then we went to the Rodeo!

Mamaw

2011-03-17T08:48:00.001-07:00

Mamaw passed away at the end of February.

She was the matriarch of our family and we sure will miss her.

Thankful for the time we had with her!

2011-03-17T08:45:00.000-07:00

Merry Christmas!!

I love a clean baby...

Christmas Baking

2011-03-17T08:08:00.000-07:00

Noah helped me make puppy chow...he mostly ate the powered sugar :)

In the end, he decided he didn't like the his hands being dirty!

Then we made a gingerbread house

Noah was very excited!

Through out December the pieces of candy from the gingerbread house disappeared a little at time...wonder where they went?

Here Comes Santa Claus

"A" is for Adelyn

She is my little cupcake.

How to Build a Bear

2010-12-07T13:54:00.001-08:00

First get to the store and take in your surroundings...so many choices! Noah chose a monkey instead of a bear.

Pick out the best noise maker

Make sure baby sister is still asleep

Wait in line and practice being patient

Pick out a heart to go inside

Here is the heart Noah picked

and he sealed it with a kiss.

Now you put the heart & noise maker in the monkey and fill it up with stuffing

tie up the back

give him a bath

brush him off

and dress him up and name him. Noah named his "Blue".

Then take him home and love him forever.

Halloween

2010-11-13T07:06:00.001-08:00

My Lil' Punkins...

Our first cake ball attempt

Uncle Zack came over from Dallas and we all went to the Fall Festival at our church then to my parent's house for a Halloween Party- hayride, dry ice in the pool, BBQ, and lots of candy.

Fun was had by all

Noah + Elijah= BFF

2010-11-03T07:42:00.000-07:00

In the Fall of 2007 at my first BSF meeting I sat next to girl that looked around my same age. We started chatting and discovered that we were pregnant and had the same due dates. You know how in life there are some people you just automatically connect with? Well Rebecca is one of those people. I am so thankful the Lord put her in my life and one of the reasons is her little boy Elijah. He was born just a few days after Noah and they have been best friends ever since.

State Fair

2010-11-03T07:08:00.001-07:00

We went to the State Fair of Texas

I think Noah's favorite part was riding the train from Fort Worth to Dallas.

Or maybe his favorite part was getting to see Uncle Zack

Once Uncle Zack arrived they were inseparable.

His least favorite part was the amusement park ride. The moment it started Noah's cheeks puffed up like he was about to vomit but luckily it was just a false alarm.

We ate corn dogs, burgers, fudge, and gummy worms. We visited the car show, watched the dog show, and saw the blue ribbon animals- reminded me of Charlotte's Webb. It was one of our 1st family outings since Addy's arrival and it was a complete success!

Growing Like A Weed

2010-10-17T04:09:00.000-07:00

8 Weeks Old

So many things I love about my Adelyn Grace....

How you bury your face into me as you fall asleep

Double Chin

Smile

Laugh

A special cry, reminds me of a kitten, that lets me know you are looking for me

How your face lights up when big brother comes around

Loves being cuddled

Life is so much sweeter with you in it.

Back to School

2010-09-15T15:21:00.000-07:00

Noah had his 1st day back at preschool. He was a pro... not a tear shed.

We are thankful for preschool, so many fun things to do and learn but I'm always happy when 2:30 rolls around and I get to pick him up. I love how he runs to the door and says "Mama"...it makes my heart smile every time.

Life with Addy

2010-09-15T15:04:00.000-07:00

We LOVE you, Addy Grace!

Your big brother loves to check on you and help change your diapers. The other day you were in your swing and I caught your brother saying, "Shh Addy, go night- night"

You did not enjoy your first bath.

When we took you for your 2 week check up you weighed 8lbs 2oz...a whole pound up from your birth weight!

The past 3 weeks have been such a joy having you here with us. You are such a sweet baby, we feel so blessed. You are already spoiled and want to be held all the time, that's ok because there are plenty of people that want to hold you.

Adelyn Grace

2010-08-24T17:41:00.000-07:00

Our sweet girl has arrived and we are so in love.

My water broke getting out of bed Saturday morning. I stayed at home until 5 pm hoping labor would start on it's own but had no luck so I went to the hospital to get started on Pitocin. I was super nervous about my low platelet count affecting my ability to get an epidural, especially since I was on Pitocin. I think the lowest part of my entire birth experience was when the nurse told me that the Anesthesiologist reviewed my lab work and did not feel comfortable giving me an epidural. WHAT!?! The ability to get an epidural should be my choice, not someone else's. I, of course, asked to speak to the Anesthesiologist. There was no way he was going to tell me "no" without a detailed explanation. In walked the Anethesiologist and out came the tears but before I could say a word he told me that he re-reviewed the lab work again and that he would be willing to give me an epidural. Praise the Lord!!!! I assured him I would give it my best shot without the epidural but took comfort in knowing that I had options.

I did give it a good shot. I was just plugging along with my contractions when all of a sudden they were ever 2-3 min apart and lasting a min. I think at some point my head started spinning. I got to a 10 but Adelyn was still at a -1 station, meaning I wouldn't be able to push until she came down a little further. So 6 hours into my Pitocin induced labor I demanded for the Pitocin to be turned off and for my epidural immediately. I will NEVER EVER try natural again! Mike tells me I called on Jesus over 100 times during the difficult time in my labor. I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved that epidural. I loved the numbness and how each contraction felt less and less severe as the medicine kicked in. I was such a nicer patient..no nurse wants their patient to threaten to pull out their IVs. I rested for 1 hr and then it was time to push. I pushed two times and out she came...so different than Noah where I pushed for 2 hours. She is beautiful, looks a lot like her brother. She is very cuddly and I can't get enough of her.

We are home now and lovin' life with our little family. Noah has been amazing with Addy. He is going to be such a good big brother.

Am I in labor?

2010-08-15T06:33:00.000-07:00

Last Friday night I was doing some exercises to get Adelyn out of the posterior position when all of a sudden I felt they worst back pain....EVER!

Did I just pull a muscle?

The pain lasted for about 3 hours when I begged Mike to take me to the hospital. Off we went, flashers on and speeding down the highway and running through red lights. It felt like we were in a movie.

Mike pulled up to the ER parking lot and rushed me to labor and delivery and then the strangest thing happend- my pain stopped.

Oh no! Am I one of those ladies that thinks she is in labor and then goes to the hospital and nothing is going on??? Surely not, the pain was so intense!!

Unfortunately, there was no baby girl to hold at the end of all that pain. It ended up being a kidney stone.

People say kidney stones are like giving birth, looks like I get to to give birth twice in one month- lucky me!!

On a side note I learned that my platelet count is really low, a common side effect of pregnancy, but mine is so low that I may not be able to get an epidural. I am asking for prayers that my platelet count will go up...I didn't get pregnant thinking I was going to be experiencing "natural" childbirth. Thanks!

Tuesday and Friday Mornings

2010-08-15T06:16:00.000-07:00

Every Tuesday and Friday morning we listen for the sounds of our visitor coming.

Sometimes we stand by the door for a long time trying to be patient for our visitor to show up.

When they arrive, Noah sits on the front porch to welcome them and watches until they drive away.

It's the little things.

4th of July

2010-08-15T06:06:00.000-07:00

We had a great 4th of July

it started with a parade through our neighborhood with a FIRETRUCK

Thanks Jim for stopping the parade so that I could get a picture of Noah.

And then cookout at our friend's house.

Adorable

2010-08-15T05:50:00.000-07:00

The truth is I just can't get enough of this little man.

Whether he is sleeping

doing cute things like this

or this

(not far from Mater)

even doing this

I just think he is perfect

and I'm thankful that most of my days are filled with these.

Haircut

2010-08-15T05:43:00.000-07:00

Somebody got their haircut

And I can't stop staring at him because he looks so much like his Daddy.

Circus

2010-08-15T05:31:00.000-07:00

Noah went to his 1st circus yesterday with his Paw Paw.

I know he had so much fun cause when he got home he kept talking about the elephants and PawPaw.

He is a loved little boy.

Thanks PawPaw.

My baby sister is growing up.

For eleven years I prayed for a baby sister and I will never forget the day you were born. I waited outside the delivery room, anxiously waiting to be allowed in to join our family.

As I walked into the room and saw you in mom's arms my eyes filled with tears. I had never been so happy.

Oh, how I loved you. I prayed that you would grow up to love the Lord, have lots of friends, and be a confident, beautiful woman. Well my prayers have come true. I couldn't be more proud.

I love you,

Sissy

2010-05-24T12:35:00.000-07:00

What we have been up to....

Enjoying pretty days.

Weekend getaways

Preparing for Adelyn Grace (due in August)

Life is good. We feel blessed.

2009-12-23T05:31:00.000-08:00

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I was starting to wonder if we were going to decorate this year. We have been busy this month and I was a little worried about a 21 month old + Christmas decor. Would the temptation be too much? Then one day I came home from shopping and it was all done...I have the best husband!! I'm so glad we didn't let the busyness of life or the fear of Noah breaking something keep us from celebrating this holiday season.

We love white lights, can you tell?

My grandparents gave Noah a "choo- choo" as an early Christmas present. Boy does he love it! I'm excited that it will be a part of our Christmas decor for years to come.

Here's a look around the house....

The Christmas tree behind locked (aka rubber banded) doors

Christmas lights on our back porch

A nativity scene we found in the attic of our 1st house, Noah likes to steal baby Jesus and the animals.

Mike decorated this wreath & I love it. It looks beautiful from our street at night.

Even Noah has a tree in his room!

This little guy is cute, he bobbles around.

Confession: I love fiber optic Christmas trees. I think they are beautiful and I find it relaxing to watch the colors change. Last year I decided I had to have one, but finding the "right" fiber optic tree is a harder task then you may think. I finally found one at Lowe's, but not before I found 2 smaller ones. I'm proud to say they are all up this year. I think we have 5 Christmas trees but this one is my favorite. Unfortunately, you can't see the vivid colors in this pic but trust me, it's awesome and you too should consider a fiber optic for your home! Lol!

The stockings hung from the chimney with care...

Check out the stocking Noah made at preschool. The reindeer is made from his foot and hand prints.

One of my favorite Christmas traditions is getting a new ornament each year. It's so much fun to see Mom's tree and all the ornaments she has collected for us over the years. Each ornament has a special meaning to our family and I'm excited that we are slowly filling up our Christmas tree. Noah's ornament this year is extra special because we had it made with his little hand print, ahh!! It's Santa Claus with his red hat on (Noah's thumb) and his white beard (Noah's fingers), can you tell?

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve!!

2009-12-22T06:00:00.000-08:00

The makings of the perfect Christmas card picture.

Since Mike & I got married we have sent out a Christmas card every year. I love getting Christmas cards in the mail from our friends and family and I hope to share that joy by sending them. The "perfect" picture, before Noah entered the world, revolved around how my hair looked. Here are some of our pictures from the past...

2005

2006

2007

2008

Well a baby changes everything! Our goal is to have 1 picture that Noah is smiling and that we are all looking in the same direction. Here are some of our failed attempts this year-

Why do I need to hold Noah's shoe? Who knows!

This picture is wrong on so many different levels, what are we looking at, what is going on with my mouth, why are we grasping Noah's knee....

Luckily we had a talented and patient photographer (thank you Darryn) and we got lots of great pictures.

And here is the finalist, the one that made it to the card

We wish you a very, merry Christmas!!

Halloween 2009

2009-11-01T11:43:00.000-08:00

What a great Halloween filled with family, friends, and a LOT of candy.

And a LOT of pictures...

We went to a Fall Festival where we enjoyed listening to the music of a live band.

My boys.

The 1st house.

I was standing in the road watching Noah and Mike walk to the front door of the 1st house thinking this will be the beginning of many Halloween nights. I remembered back to when I was a child and although it was fun dressing up and running around asking for candy, I'm really enjoying the amazement in Noah's eyes as he discovers life. I once heard being a parent allows you to see life a second time but this time it's through the lenses of your child. It is so true, can't wait until Christmas!

Wow! They just gave me candy.

Mmmm...candy.

It didn't take long for Noah to learn what Halloween is all about. He would jump off the hay ride and chase the older kids as fast as his little legs would carry him to many doorsteps in the neighborhood. As we watched him run ahead of us, we were so proud of the independent, energetic boy he is becoming and praised God for sharing him with us.

Our little pumpkin is growing up.

2009-10-22T21:54:00.000-07:00

Really, did this just happen?

Our baby got 5, count them- 5!! Stitches!! It was incredibly traumatic for us all :( but we survived our 1st trip to the ER.

On a Tuesday night, after bath and pjs, we were letting Noah play just a few more minutes before putting him to bed. Oh how I wish I could turn back time. He was playing on the fireplace, laying on his tummy and pulling his legs in the air. As he scooted off the fireplace his chin caught a ruff edge and he sliced it wide open. Instantly we knew he needed stitches which would involve a trip to the ER, in the middle of swine flu season....need I say more? I will spare you the details of me being neurotic but a 19mo running around the ER = stressed out parents. In a way it was a blessing that we had to wait 3 hours for the procedure because by the time it finally arrived we were so D-O-N-E we were like please just get it done so we can go home. During the procedure I had to step out and cry while my strong, brave husband stayed in the room and monitored the wound tech's suture technique.

My pediatrician called the next day and told me that Noah was officially a part of the "Boy's Club" cause every boy has a scar under his chin. It made me feel a little better.

So far everything is healing nicely and Noah is doing a fantastic job of leaving it alone. The injury could have been much worse, thank you God for your protection.

2009-10-05T09:52:00.000-07:00

I haven't updated our blog since March, I am clearly dedicated.

We had a fantastic summer. It was filled with swimming, gardening, milk shakes, job decisions, and family.

Here is a picture of Noah at the beginning of the summer before the puddle jumper life jacket changed our lives. Seriously, it's not pictured on the blog but it is the best life jacket for kids. Noah was jumping into the pool before the end of the summer. Highly recommend it...google it.

At a friend's community pool at the beginning of the summer, Noah was a little scared of the water. Oh how that would change- ha!

Check out his face- what is going on?

WARNING: the next picture includes nudity.

Are you ready for this?

I hope Noah doesn't disown me when he is 18 and I put this in his Senior yearbook.

Here it comes...

Ahhh baby bottom, too cute!

And then here he is at the zoo. Mmm, I love that little guy.

We went on a our 1st family vacation with Noah. Here he is in Cozumel.

Relaxing at Rum Point.

Attempt 1,276 to get a family picture, not an easy task.

Building sand castles at Rum Point.

Summer night entertainment-- riding the lawn mower with Daddy around the backyard!

We had so much fun, can't believe it is over.

Spring Break 2009

2009-03-23T18:34:00.000-07:00

I had a great Spring Break. Off 11 days from work and got to spend a lot of time with my sweet boy.

All Aboard!!

My beautiful sister Emily

Look how cute with a baseball cap on.

Yummy Popcorn!

Missing Sunny Days

2009-03-12T12:25:00.000-07:00

A couple of weeks ago we spent the day enjoying the Texas sunshine. It was only in the 60's but we still had fun spending time outside, feeling kissed by the sunshine!

Noah's 1st Birthday

2009-03-11T14:30:00.001-07:00

On the day of Noah's 1st Birthday we spent the day at the Fort Worth Zoo.

Then came Noah's party!! We had the party favors ready (thanks Annalee for the great lollipop idea)...

And the living room set up to play!

Daddy provided the entertainment with rides on the dump truck

1st Cake and one for guest

Elmo Live! He was so excited he kissed him!

We had a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday Noah!

Please pray for Johnathan

2009-03-01T12:12:00.000-08:00

Our precious friends Dave and Casi welcomed their son last Wednesday evening. On Thursday afternoon Johnathan was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and was transferred to Cook Children's Hospital. He is scheduled for surgery on Monday morning. Please pray for God's blessings on them and that the Lord will wrap them up in a blanket of comfort and love and the peace of knowing that HE is in control of all things. Here are a couple pictures of our sweet boy.

I hope this makes you smile...

Sunny Day

2009-02-19T08:40:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was a beautiful day and we tried to enjoy every moment of it. Noah & I had fun exploring Weatherford and then in the evening we took a bike ride with Mike. Noah did a few funny things yesterday that reminded me how much I love being his mom.

1. We were outside playing on the driveway waiting for Mike to get home when Noah plopped down on the driveway, ran his hands across the asphalt, and then bent over and licked the asphalt. He did this 3 times, unfortunately I was unable to capture it on camera. Sometimes I think Noah thinks he lives in Candyland because he wants to put everything in his mouth!

2. I could not find the remote control any where. The last time I saw it, Noah was walking around the house carrying it. I searched in all the usual places- under the furniture, on the chairs, and in cabinets with out any success. Then I noticed his dump truck across the room....

And there it was, along with his plastic giraffe..

Noah, that is a good place for it :)

3. In life there are moments that make you stop and soak life in. For some reason this was one of those moments for me...We just left the shoe store and were walking across the parking lot. He was walking beside me holding my hand and I thought wow, what a big boy he is ...WALKING across the parking lot in his big boy shoes, camo shorts, Aggie shirt, and willingly holding my hand. Before I know it I will be teaching him how to look both ways before crossing the street. I am going to enjoy all the kisses, hugs, and hand holding I can for now and hope it lasts forever.

Valentine's Surprise!

2009-02-16T14:27:00.000-08:00

Hope you had a happy Valentine's Day! I worked (boo!) but my sweet husband surprised me at work with a singing card ("I Can't Fight This Feeling.."). He noticed that I had laughed out loud at the commercial (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxDHR_8sbUY) so he got me the card. Then when I got home I got the best gift- an attachment for my bike to haul Noah around. Thank you Mike! I love it.

I read the funniest quote from Will Ferrell regarding how he spent his Valentine's-

"My usual: Dress as Cupid and chase my wife around the house with competition-level bow and arrows"

Time Flies

2009-01-23T02:40:00.000-08:00

Oh my, where has the time gone? When I look at my friends' blogs, I am a little saddened that I have neglected my blog since August.

August- I started a new job teaching nursing students at Tarrant County College. It has been an interesting experience that has brought much appreciation for all the past educators in my life. Grading papers takes so much time!

September- We decided to put a "For Sale" sign in our yard and try to move to Aledo. Our house sold 5 days later.

October- Moved to Aledo. Noah had his 1st Halloween & he was a monkey-- so appropriate!

November- Noah started crawling. Kinda hosted Thanksgiving. Let me explain. Thanksgiving was at our new house but I was at work. My sweet family stayed at our house all day so that they would be there when I got home from work at 8pm!

December- Noah's 1st Christmas-- despite the toys he received, his favorite toy remains a set of coasters sitting on my table. Noah took a few steps.

January- Noah is walking. Started teaching again last week.

Very brief glimpse into the past 5 months.

Sarah

Yikes!!

2008-08-08T22:36:00.000-07:00

My husband is the bravest man. While leaving my parents house tonight, which is kinda out in the country, Mike spotted a snake near our car. He calmly brought Noah back inside and then chased the snake down with a shovel. Multiple times he had to rake the snake closer to him so that he could try to kill it. After it was dead Kenny declared that it was a copperhead snake- yikes!! Copperheads are poisonous snakes. I give thanks to the Lord that I didn't walk right out and step on the snake and that Mike noticed the snake in the darkness. I am so thankful for the Lord's hedge of protection around our family. This is what it looked like-

Competition

2008-07-17T16:00:00.000-07:00

Noah rolled over today- yeah!! He despises tummy time so I was convinced he would be 1 before accomplishing this milestone. Kirstin brought her baby Pierce, who is 1 week older than Noah but has been rolling over since 2.5 months, over today. The boys were laying on a mat and Pierce was showing off his skills, then when out of no where Noah rolled over from his back to his stomach and then back to his back. He acted like it was no big deal and that he had been rolling over for weeks. I guess all he needed was a little competition from his buddy Pierce to get moving. Maybe I should have another friend come over and teach Noah how to sleep through the night :)

Noah trying to eat Pierce's elbow...what can i say, the boy likes to eat!!

1st Blog

2008-07-16T15:56:00.000-07:00

Well, I have decided to enter the world of blogging. No promises that this will be interesting, but I felt blogging would be a good outlet for some of my thoughts and also a good way to connect with other moms.

Today, Wednesday, is my almost favorite day of the week (no day of the week can compete with the days-- Friday- Sunday-- I have off with Mike). At 1230 every Wed. I meet with a group of my friends that are new moms. One friend I've known since high school, others from church, and one from Bible Study Fellowship. I am thankful for these girls and see it as an answered prayer from God that He has placed them in my life . We meet each week, eat lunch, and talk about the joys and struggles of being a wife and new mom. I am appreciative for their honesty and sincerity, it is a reminder that none of us are alone in our struggles and it's fun to have them to share my joys with. When I first found out I was pregnant, a little over a year ago, I prayed that I would have friends to go through the process of being pregnant with. I had lots of friends that were already mommys that offered wonderful advice, but there is nothing like having someone to talk to that is currently experiencing morning sickness. The Lord definitely listened. With in a week I discovered that a friend of mine, Kirstin, was expecting the day after me and then my 1st day of BSF I met Rebecca, that was due two days after me. Wow, God is faithful- what an amazing blessing these girls have been to me and He continues to grow our group. I think we now have six moms with babies ranging from 6 weeks to 6 months.

Today we talked about sleeping, ahem, or lack there of since having a baby. Noah is a sweet, sweet, beautiful, 4.5 month old baby boy. The only glitch is that he continues to wake up every 2-3 hours to eat...I was under the misconception that only newborns ate so frequently- FALSE!! People suggest letting him "cry it out" other wise known as "CIO" but when I go to pick him up he acts like he is starving!! After eating he goes right back to sleep for at least 2 hours and then wakes up hungry again. Any suggestions out there? I think I am going to have Mike give him a bottle of formula for the night feeding...maybe the formula will keep him feeling fuller longer than breast milk. It really wouldn't be a big deal to continue feeding him through the night but I am about to start another job at the end of August and I don't want to have to be up 3 times a night and then have to go work for 12 plus hours. Again, any suggestions are welcomed.

Ok, that is enough blogging for today. Hopefully, I will become better at blogging and my future posts will not be so wordy. And seriously, any sleeping suggestions are appreciated.
