A third for my Third

Spencer's three! It's so weird how big he's getting.
When we moved to Tennessee he was only 3 months
old! Now he's a potty trained, Toy Story lovin',
sister wolloper.

We gave him these figurines for his birthday and
he has seriously played with them since Saturday.
NONSTOP!
He won't even come to the table for meal times.
In fact, he gets rather angry when I call him to
to the table. How dare I?! I sure do love the little guy.
Even though he climbs all over me while I'm trying
to nap.(true story...yesterday)

1-2-3-4- and now there are 5!

So, I was gonna wait until Friday to spill the beans but
apparently I couldn't. If you can't tell by the picture there's
a bun in my oven! Yup #5! I was severely, completely, and
absolutely taken by surprise. This little number happens to
be about 1 1/2 years early. Sheesh. I wish I could figure out how
...oh never mind.
Surprisingly though I am fairly calm considering that we now
have to finish our basement and perhaps buy a new vehicle.
(yah, mini-vans don't accommodate 5 car seats) In fact I'm kind of
excited. And in case you're wondering I'm feeling great aside from
the "all day needing to throw-up" feeling. I am a little disappointed
in the fact that I was training to run a 5K and now I can't. Oh well.
I'll run a bit each week until I start to waddle. Which reminds me,
apparently with a 5th pregnancy you start showing at 8 weeks!
Go figure. Sigh-

Back to Business

Many of you may know this already but I'm going to 

lay it out anyway. I'm a giant spaz. For some reason

I have a really hard time staying on task, or for that 

matter, remembering what my tasks even are! I guess

I'm habitually unorganized and need a little help...sigh!

  What my aunt and I have determined to do is to have

this self help blog based on the book "Sink Reflections". 

Every week we will post 1 task and all of that week we 

will incorporate that task into our daily routine. Hopefully 

I will be able to buckle down and git 'r' done...so to speak. 

  So, if any of you would like to take part in this crazy scheme

all you need to do is check the blog on Mondays and then 

sometime toward the end of the week leave a comment. 

The link will be under my "places to go"....uh...area...thing.

  

7 years?!

7 Things I love about my husband

1. He always gets the door for me
2. He's very supportive
3. He's a great dad
4. He's very knowledgeable
5. He's a big kid (he bought Spencer a Lego castle and spent
Christmas day putting it together...without Spencer)
6. He never yells at me
7. He loves me even when I'm a giant ditz who forgets our anniversary!

I can't believe I did that! I actually forgot that today was the day.
I didn't mean too. I honestly have not had a brain lately. But he
just rolled his eyes and laughed at me. It's strange to me how quickly
life is. It really wasn't all that long ago that I wore that dress. (by the
way that will never happen again!) I look back on that time in my life
and I really had no clue what I was doing...the only thing I knew was
that James was my best friend and I wanted to be with him. I'm so
grateful to be married to such a wonderful person. Mushy much? Yah
I guess so. I suppose I'm entitled to be a little mushy sometimes though.

What a very merry Christmas!

Wow...Christmas is already over?! We sure did have a great one
this year. Of course there was the standard snowflake extravaganza,
the fishing for babies with popcorn garland, the kid gifts with a
husband's special touch, and the horrible mess that accompanies such
festivities. I loved every minute of it and was slightly saddened to see
the day end. I hope that all of you had a wonderful day as well.

Markers and kisses

So...as I was sitting at the computer this morning
my darling son came and wanted to cuddle a little.
My thought was, "wow he's being so sweet". Pretty
soon he kissed me on the cheek and started tickling
my neck. Little did I know that he wasn't being all
that sweet.




Yah, he had a marker. I guess that's what I get for
being on the computer. Thank heavens for Crayola
and their marvelous washables!

Etsy...I love you!

Well, Etsy has done it again! I was able to sell this 

little number over the weekend and I'm so darn excited! 

Wahoo. I was afraid that maybe I'd have to end up using

it as a stocking stuffer or something. Anyway, thanks for

letting me share my fun news!
