Catching Up...

Kaydee Mae and Corbin :)

exactly 4 months apart (oct. 9th and feb. 9th)
Kayla sent this to me Tuesday.

Okay, so here is the "new to us" van... It's a Chevy Uplander... Like I said, I swore I would never be a van mom, but here I am being a van mom! I actually love it- so much more room and much easier to get C's seat in and out. Not the best picture b/c it's off my phone, but you get the idea! It was quite the ordeal... we went looking in Jasper Friday night and didn't find anything- rushed to Princeton and got there 10 min. before they closed... we test drove it home Friday night and went back Saturday and bought it. I didn't know my husband was such a bargainer... gee whiz- I was embarrassed! I do not do well trying to make deals, I'd probably just pay full price and be done! Not good I know! It's a good thing he was there doing it b/c he got a much better deal, lol! He said if I had to do it on my own he'd be worried about me! B loves having a van- I told Ryan that B thinks it's cool now, but in about 10 years it won't be so cool to him! haha!
I guess we have been packing A LITTLE too much around here!
B asked me how to spell race car so I told him and didn't think anything of it b/c he is always asking how to spell things.
I found this box with a race car inside... it was taped shut (with scotch tape!)
I asked him why he put "car" above "race" and he said there wasn't enough room after race, lol!
When we moved some stuff to storage last week this HAD to go too! We should get a kick out of it when we move stuff out of storage :)


Last Thursday B had his last pre-school field trip. It was to the Washington Park.
This is Tyler, Brycen, and Arri.
We had a picnic and they played.
It was fun :)
C still loves being outside!

I put this tank top on B one day last week and he said, "I love this shirt b/c it's my workout and get muscles shirt" :) I don't know where he comes up with this stuff! Although, my brother wears shirts like this while running so maybe that's where?


Brooke, Brittany, me, and Chelsey

Saturday afternoon I went to Loogootee for my friend Brittany's baby shower.

Kenzlie Rayne came about 6 weeks early so she is already here and adorable as ever!

She is home and doing great! Last week she weighed 5lbs 1oz. It was hard for me to believe C was ever that little when I saw her!

Saturday night we met up with B's best friends family (and our friends too) at Chuck E Cheese.

It was fun :)

This is Joey, Jessa, and B.

B won 906 tickets (with some help from his daddy!).

Getting ready to leave- Jessa and Corbin... she LOVES "baby corby"

Jessa, Corbin, Joey, and Brycen

after we left chuck e cheese we went to toys r us... b got a bug vacuum... ?? don't ask!? he has been wanting one for a long time so he finally got one! at least it is a toy he will use!

this is on mother's day... not sure why c's lips look green?

it was the best one of the two of them though.

my boys before church on mother's day
yah, i love having them "matchy matchy" and try to coordinate their outfits!

Ryan thinks it's dorky, but i've waited a long time to do this and I'm having fun :)

he was SO done taking pics!

and so was he! this smile is SO fake!

We went to church and then to ryan's parents for lunch and then came home. B gave me flowers :) and I got a sweet card... funny story is that it came from the "women of color" section?! ryan said he knows i'm not a "woman of color", but it said what he wanted the card to say!

we rested for awhile and got stuff ready for the next day (the day i had to go back to work) and then went to my parents for supper.

Monday I went back to work... it went okay. I dropped Corbin off without any tears (although I wanted to). I was determined I would show joy to everyone I saw at work that day. My job can be really negative if you let it be and I didn't want that in my life so I was determined to be positive and show the Lord's love to others. It worked and although I missed my boys like crazy I had a good day... then I picked up B and C at 4 and realized everything I had missed out on all day with them and I pretty much cried all evening!

Yesterday (tuesday) evening wasn't as bad b/c I knew I had today off! I'm really praying the Lord hears my pleas of wanting to stay home with my baby, but even if He says no to this plea, I am just grateful to have this baby boy in my life! There were times I thought that would never happen... I'm trying to be positive!

Today was our day off and I loved the storms this morning :) I love thunderstorms! They remind me of how big God is.

While Corbin napped and B watched a movie this afternoon I whipped up this tutu for a special little girl (that's still in her momma's tummy). I'm shipping it off to Georgia tomorrow :)

I made tutu's for her big sister's that they got for Christmas and now she can match!

I'm not ready to go back to work tomorrow- but I'm determined to make the most out of it...

Need to go feed C and get in bed- 5am comes too soon!
