a life update

Wow, i can't believe how long it has been since i blogged last. life is so busy and at the end of the day i would rather relax then blog since i only have a few hours until my adorably chunky 6 month old will want to be nursed some more. (yes that is right. he is 6 mo old and still not sleeping through the night. the boy wants food every 3 hours. this momma is usually always exhausted unless i am jacked up on some caffeine)

but to fill you in a little...SO much has happened since my last blog post. 

let's see...

~we added our benjamin mack to our family making us a family of 5. so we have 3 boys now. 

jakson is 3, he will be turning 4 in 2 months.

henry tate is 2.

and benjamin is 6 months,

~henry and jakson are in preschool now and they love it and their momma loves the time to clean and shop or rest :)

~my husband and i recently took a huge leap of faith. he left his job a few months ago and has started his own company!! i am so excited for our family and what is to come. i am so PROUD of my man. he has worked so hard for the past 9 years and he deserves this. 

the major news that goes along with all of that is that we will be moving our family to austin, tx!!! 

i made a promise to myself that when we moved i would start blogging again. that way family and friends can keep up with our adventures out in TX. and it could be a wonderful way for me to type out my feelings during this major transition. 

i have been a GA girl my whole life. this is HUGE, i mean HUGE for me. i am really excited for the adventure ahead of us. lots of tears have been shed through out this process. but we are totally trusting in the Lord through all of this. he has opened these doors ahead of us and we know that he has a perfect plan for our family. 

i promise to update with more details and info as they come. 

as for now...

our house is on the market. 

and we are waiting for it to sell before we move out west. so this little lady is enjoying her time being close to family and friends until we make the big move. 

that is all for now,

Jakson's first day of school

Our Jaksonian started school a month ago. And yes, this slacker momma is just now blogging about it :)

He is loving all of his new friends and teachers and is already learning so much!

the little booger would NOT smile for a picture

but he would show off his "White-teen" bandaids, aka lightning mcqueen ;)

our big boy!

baby #3

Yes, it is true, i am pregnant with our third sweet baby! 

In case you want to ask...
yes, we know how babies are made.
yes, we know they grow up.
and yes, we will have three kids pretty close in age.

and YES i am excited about it :) 

when we started having kids we knew that we wanted to have them all pretty close together. this timing of baby 3 wasn't quite as we had planned but the Lord obviously knows our plans better than us. We are trusting in HIS perfect timing. 

so if you think we are crazy, well, we probably are but that is ok. i like our crazy :)

Baby 3 is due March 21, 2013

thanks for all of the sweet comments. we are excited to add one more baby to this crazy bunch!

I'm back

I can't believe it has been almost three months since i have posted on my blog. Finding the time to blog these days seems impossible. When i think about sitting down and doing a post, something else comes into my mind that i need to do. But the truth is, i miss my blog. i love just browsing through old post and laughing about memories that i had forgotten about...so i am back at it! 


So much has happened since my last blog post. henry turned ONE! we went on a couple vacations. we started our awesome garden. and we stayed super busy with the summer. 


i am going to try and fill in the blog with some events that i should have posted about but never did. 


But for now here are a few pictures of my boys...

our happy little henry.

wild man, Jakson

jakson's first ride on the tractor. he loves it!

i love this face :)

jakson talk.

this video is for all of you who haven't heard jakson tell a story. the kid talks and talks and thinks that you should understand every word. hilarious. enjoy :)

Easter

Here is our Easter in pictures :)

i tore jaks away from a toy to take this picture so of course he refused to smile :)

ohh two year olds. they're super fun ;)

little henry found his first easter eggs!

this is what i would call an easter egg fail :)

daddy and jaks hunting those eggs!



i love the Culp family and i am so glad they came to our Easter celebration!!

Les being sweet and hanging out with little henry



my parents brought home confetti eggs from Texas. they are awesome!! we kind of looked like crazy people, running around and smashing eggs full of confetti on everyone's heads.

hahaha :) a little in-law love

SO FUN!

henry with his Gigi!!

whoop, whoooop, spring is HERE!

i am super excited for this spring and summer.

last spring i was WAY prego and just tired and ready to have that baby boy.
then that sweet baby arrived in May.
which meant last summer i had to deal with my newly postpartum body and the summer heat with a tiny newborn.

seriously, can't believe he used to be that tiny and wrinkly :)

so THAT is why i am so excited for this spring and summer. i can run around with my boys, be an active momma, and feel good about myself. YAY, it is going to be SO fun!

i am kind of stressing a bit about the pool with two boys running around who don't know how to swim but that it where LOTS of floaties come in...boys, get ready to be floatied out everywhere we go :)

so far this spring has been full of backyard muddiness, playing in the water hose and water table, swinging and sliding on our backyard play set, jeep rides around town, runs in the park with mommy and daddy, walks around the neighborhood in our red wagon and playing with friends down at the river!




oh and to add to the spring fun, i will be going to New York at the end of this month with my momma and sisters for a girls weekend!! thanks to my hubby for allowing me to do this...i am sooooo stinkin excited! i am already preparing for how much i am going to miss my boys but i know that i will have a blast and that they will be in good hands!
that boy is way too good to me :)
