yipee, it is FRIDAY :)

today jaks got a little sleepy while browsing through our favorite store, Target :)
i was looking through the sale racks and noticed that jakson was passing out. i mean, face hitting the front of the cart. poor guy couldn't keep his eyes open! I took him out and held him so he could sleep and walked to the checkout. poor guy, he never does that.

sleepy man as soon as he got in the carseat :)

i am SO enjoying this one on one time with my little guy since that will soon change when we add Henry to the mix.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend :)

did i mention that this prego is going to be walk/jogging/waddling a 5K tomorrow morning. ahhhh, this should be entertaining! i am hoping to finish in 45 minutes. hahah, that is only 20 minutes more than my normal pace.

crafts, and other life updates :)

ever since i have gotten my sewing machine i love just playing around and reading TONS of tutorials.

So today while jakson napped, i decided to try out a felt flower clip since i had all of the materials on hand. i think it turned out super cute. it was SO cheap and SO easy and SO fun :)



so cute, right?! i am going to have fun with these suckers :)

after a trip to hobby lobby and lots of playing around, i made this bad boy. not sure if i will ever wear it...i really can't figure out if it is cute or not, hah.

(please excuse the picture quality and the no smile...the iphone isn't always the best for pictures)
i also made a hairclip out of the same flowers for my sister and her daughter but didn't take a picture.

this weekend was an awesome weekend :)
fRiDaY night was a DoUbLe dAtE night. a date night of any kind was SO needed. josh and i went to dinner with my twin and her hubs while our older sister and hubs babysat all of the kiddos. THANK YOU SISTER!!
i did end up getting really sick that night but i am SO thankful for a hubby that loves and takes care of me. he was so sweet to me and showed me his sweet servants heart when he took care of me into the wee hours of the morning. THANKS BABE! can i also just say that these past couple of weeks josh has really shown me that he is my biggest fan in ALL that i do. i love him!!
SaTuRdAy we were LAZY and enjoyed eachothers company. that evening we went to dinner with some wonderful friends who have an adorable little girl, kaydee. Kaydee will be exactly nine months apart from both of our boys. i joke around that now she has two Burfitt boys to choose from :) haha. anyways, we enjoyed the wonderful company and laughter that night. we had a delicious dinner at my new favorite pizza spot! i told josh we will be returning there..A LOT ;) hey, a preggo has to eat...

we have another DIY project in the making right now. i can't wait for it to be done and do a post on it. i have such a handy hubby and i am so thankful that he LOVES his awesome new saw and wants to make me whatever i want. YAY!!

Some other fun news..the couple who set josh and i up adopted a sweet little boy this past week. they have a very sweet story so if you would like to read it, check it out! We are so happy for them and will be praying for them as they begin this fun journey of parenthood. PTL!

i will end with a couple of recent pictures from my phone that make me so happy :]

here is jaks and his sunday school art work. i seriously can't believe that he is already in the mighty walkers class and is bringing home art work. PLEASE STOP GROWING UP!


the other night the dogs curled up on josh by the fire. it was too cute and i had to sneak a picture.

have a WONDERFUL week and a very happy monday :)

stuck inside of our house- day 3.

DAY 3:
So, i know that i am stay at home mom and there are days when we will stay in the house for a couple of days but i tell you what-- i am about to go cRaZy! i think it is the fact that i know that i can't get in my car and drive somewhere. our roads are pretty rough out here :/ AND it isn't supposed to get above freezing today so there might not be much improvement. (ahhhhh!!)

We are hoping to get out for a little bit today before it gets bad again tonight. I think it is getting down to 12 tonight :/ YIKES!

Yesterday we were the definition of LAZY (LA-ZY: slow-moving; sluggish). jakson woke up early and then went down for a nap 2 hours later and so did josh and i. we all slept until noon. hah, that never happens but it did feel good. that afternoon josh and i decided to get some fresh air so we went on a walk up to our QT and back. That was nice and jakson loved the stroll.

Then last night josh ran up to our walmart before the roads got bad again bc we ran out of wipes.
We watched movies after jaks went to bed and continued our lazy streak.

Now here we are...day 3 of this ice/snow lock-down. this momma is about to go crazy but i am trying to just enjoy the special time with all my boys. Plus...i've been getting pretty nauseous(ughh), so it is nice to the have the hubs here to help me out some. He rocks :]

Here are some pictures from our last snow adventure. we are loving it but pretty much over it now.








And lastly I am going to end with a verse that I was reflecting on last week.

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.” Ps. 46:10

i love this verse bc it is something that i struggle with all of the time. i feel like i am always trying to go, go, go. and even when i am sitting still, it is very rarely that i am just sitting still and meditating on his Word. i find myself hurrying through a quiet time bc i know that there is something else i need to get done before Jaks wakes up from his nap. So this is one thing that i am really working on. just wanted to share and challenge you to do the same :)

i hope you are able to get out today and have a great one,

snow in the south :)

i guess i will sneak a little blog post in while the little man naps and hubs drives around in his jeep.

snow in the south doesn't happen too often so we are taking advantage of this weather. Jakson didn't really know what to do in the snow at first. He thought he was stuck when we first put him down.

here are some pictures from this morning's excursion...


jaks had mixed feelings about the snow :)

but the dogs, well, they went craaaazy!


going for a drive in the jeep






henry got to enjoy the snow as well :)

and back inside to warm up and drink some milk before nap time. he played hard!


i'm curious as to how long we will be stuck in this house! Glad i stocked up on milk and food and that the hubs has a jeep the has 4 wheel drive!

enjoy the snow and be safe,

the weekend is HeRe :)

i am SO glad that the weekend is finally here. i am ready for a weekend with both of my boys(and the teeny one in the belly)

Poor jaks got a stomach bug yesterday. the throwing up started about 1 and ended at about 8 last night :( poor little boog. he went to the dr this morning and was totally over it.
(sweet boy waiting on the doctor)

of course, the dr told me AgAiN, "you are one blessed mom. he is always so happy and has such a good temperment no matter how sick he is." then as he was walking out the door he mentions..."you probably won't get this lucky with the next one"...Oh i hope he is wrong. come on Henry...don't let me down ;)

So the only real plan we have this weekend is to go and get our SPICY CHICKEN BISCUITS at the chick. Those of you that know me, know that henry is probaby going to come out asking for Chick-fil-a. i eat there AT LEAST once or twice a week :/. so i am pretty pumped about our reservations tomorrow...am i pregnant or what?!?!

ONE MORE THING:

i have to brag on my hubby for a second. my great friend Alaina sent me some ideas for working on my living room. she sent me an awesome blog on how to make this Painter’s Ladder Shelf and Josh did it! I LOVE it. he is so handy and loves wood working. i told him he needs to sell these. all i did was paint it :) i think it looks awesome in our living room and is a great start for giving it a new feel. THANKS BABE!!

the start...

the finish product. so proud of my handy man.

hope you all have a wonderful weekend,

slowly learning this whole mom thing...

before we had jakson one of my biggest fears was when i had to start actually disciplining him. i knew it wouldn't be fun and it was just such an unknown to me. i know there have been times when i would watch other moms and think...geez, do something...or shut that kid up. and i knew it would give me such a new perspective when i was actually the mom in the situation. and oh boy, does it.

my happy little boy is seriously a sweety pie. but boy can he throw a temper tantrum when he doesn't get his way, bite his momma just because, or test you after you have told him "no" FIVE times already as he does it just one more time.

ohhh sweet jakson man...I LOVE HIM! he is my bundle of energy :)

To show his sweet side though, he is constantly being pointed out by strangers as being such a happy boy. yup, that smile barely ever leaves his face, and i LOVE it!

funny story to embarass him one day--

last night i was up in his room getting him ready for bed. i had taken his diaper off and was grabbing the new one to put on him when he decided to roll himself over and squat and pee like a little puppy. bahaha, i couldn't help but laugh. he was quite proud of himself. crazy boy :) don't worry, that one is already in the baby book!

20 weeks and other tid~bits...

i can't believe that i am halfway through this pregnancy...in 5 months (or less) Henry will join our family--> cRaZy!!

here is my 20 week picture--

How far along? 20 weeks!

Total weight gain/loss? 5 lbs

Maternity clothes? i am either wearing my jeggings, leggings, maternity jeans or my belly band with my old jeans. no maternity shirts yet but some of my shirts just don't fit me anymore so i might try some out soon...

Stretch marks? nope

Sleep? weird dreams but besides that it's great!

Best moment last week? finding out that we are having a boy and josh feeling HIM move!

Movement? Yes, especially at night. I can feel him AND you can see and feel him moving from the outside. i LOVE it!

Food cravings? ugh, everything unhealthy...fast food, hot sauce, jalepenos, banana peppers, sweet tea...what is wrong with me?!?

Gender? it's a BOY, Henry Tate Burfitt :)

Labor signs? nope

Belly button in/out? in

What I miss: sleeping on my belly, running, and a glass of red wine

What I am looking forward to: getting his room started but not emptying out the guest room :( I have no clue where everything in the guest room is going to go.

Milestones: henry is the length of a banana!

Other recent happenings that I just haven't had the time to blog about..

jaks with his cousin at the "baby henry announcement brunch" (his shirt is the first thing i made on my new sewing machine!)


sweet boy LOVES showing off his 6 teeth :)

we celebrated Christmas with my family(i will try and blog on this asap!)



on sunday we went on a beautiful, but chilly, hike with my boys


Hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday,
