Happy New Year!!

I apologize to all 2 of you who read my blog because it has been almost 2 months since my last post. I just have not been motivated to keep it up. I can't believe 2009 is here. What a year 2008 was-I am so blessed to have such an amazing family, had a baby and having wonderful friends and family (whom I miss dearly). Chad and I have been discussing our resolutions lately and I still have not been motivated to set them. I am still not getting enough sleep with our little 4 month old. He is not sleeping through the night and now he has the stuffy nose/cough cold that has been lingering around our family since we made our trip down to Florida (which by the way was great except the kids had fevers just about the entire week and so we didn't go out and visit people like we normally do) So anyway I know I want to get a little more organized this year and I want to start working out again, but I just feel like any extra time I have I am just wanting to catch up on household duties and teach the kids. So blah blah---that is my rambling for the new year. I hope you all have a blessed 2009 and I will try my best to update this more often this year!!

Trying to fight these colds...

It is that time of year here in Georgia -when the weather gets just cold enough and then gets warm again and we get these lovely little colds beginning to linger. We are fighting them though. Even my little 2 month old is fighting a little cough. Braxton finally is on the up and up after 8 days of it. We just usually kick these things quick but this one is a toughie. I am tellin you what if I could get a quarter for every gallon of nose secretions I would be rich. (I am sure you don't hear that everyday!) Anyway we are doing great otherwise. Countin the days to go and visit the fam in FLA for some amazing turkey!! Hope everyone is doing well. By the way it was like 29 degrees here this morning-I enjoy fall but not ready for winter!!! Love to all!!

Trunk or Treat 2008

Out church had a Trunk or Treat last night. Our trunk was sports themed as you may have guessed. We had a great time!!

New Favorite Blog!!!

I came across this site from a friend of mine (thanks Lani!) and found this lady that has vowed to use the crockpot everyday this year. It is so great. It was so funny cause when I was down in Florida this past weekend my mom treated me and herself to Starbucks Iced Pumpkin Spice Lattes (decaf of course!) and it was so yummy and when we came back home on Sunday and I checked her site her crock recipe for the day was Pumpkin Spice Lattes in the CROCKPOT!! I so cant wait to try it. I thought I'd share it with ya!! I also have already tried her Candy Chicken recipe-she has them all organized by category on the side!! Check it out and let me know if you try any of them.

Family Fun.

We made a quick trip down to Florida last week to visit. We had a great time as you can see.

My kids first camp out...

This past weekend the kids and their cousins camped out..... with the fathers of course. By looking at this picture can you tell which family has done this before? (you can tell a lot about a camper by the size of their tent!!) Ha ha!!

11 years ...........5 years.............4 weeks

Well I am a little behind so I must catch up on 3 important dates that have passed in our family in the past week.

11 years-Me and my hubby celebrated our 11 year wedding anniversary. It is hard to believe it has been 11 years. He is an amazing,wonderful man and my best friend. I am so thankful that I have been married to him for that long (or should it be that short?)
My MAN!!

5 years- My boy turned 5 this past week. Once again the time flies-I really can not believe he is 5-although he has the brain of a 10 year old-he is still a playful, kindhearted,active, little boy.


4 weeks- My newest one turned 4 weeks on Wednesday-I cant believe it has been 4 weeks. He is simply an adorable little man. He is growing daily. He eats,poops, cries and sleeps-so I would say everything is going just fine. (other than me not getting much sleep-but that will get better with time -I hope...............)

Here is big sister holding Brody. She is such a great helper.
