 I didn't have a 35 week picture taken today, but my mom took this picture on Sunday (so it will have to work). And hopefully not much has changed, size wise, in 4 days. Plus, Iam wearing the same scarf again today. I imagine the picture would have looked similar. Yes, my wardrobe is limited so

Surviving a storm or having a seance?

The weather here has been terrible. I think we have had more tornado watches/warnings in one week than we had all last year. I absolutely HATE storms. In fact, I thought this last one may put be in to labor. That.Is.How.Much.Anxiety.I.Get. Of course, I am ready to run to the basement the second

  I am constantly thinking of projects for my dad. His skills are so good that I hate for them to go unused. I mean that! Just because he's 60 now doesn't mean he's incapable of amazing handy work. Trust me. He's still got it. And then some. This time...I had an idea for a whole new office. Our

 THIRTY FOUR WEEKS HAS COME! 34? Really, can it be 34 already? I decided for a front on shot this week. I wanted you to see the basketball I am sporting. And yes, that is my new iphone. And yes, the cover does match my outfit. And yes, my closet is a mess. Oh, and YES I love my new phone. I also

When we decided to have a surprise party for my dad's 60th birthday, we knew it was gonna be tough to keep it a secret. He's kinda like me (or maybe I'm kinda like him)...he doesn't let anything get by him. Luckily, my mom didn't spill the beans. God love her...she is not always the best at keeping

When you spend 5 hours + in a car with your two kids...you have to use your imagination quite a bit to keep them happy. I will be the first to admit that sometimes I am one of the LEAST imaginative mommy's out there. But, when all else fails, just bust out your phone and start taking video. It

I was going through my pictures of B's this morning for pictures to use at the funeral. Wow. Emotional. But so fun to look back and remember the good times! Here are a few of my favorites! Remember when I claimed that she could get down on the floor and play with the boys? Well, here is

Thank the Lord for these two cute lil men in my life. Really. They are what's getting me through the last few difficult days. If it weren't for their cute smiles...hugs...kisses...tantrums (yes tantrums) and love...I would be kinda lost. It's hard to be lost when you feel amazingly blessed

My grandma (or B's as we like to call her) passed away yesterday evening around 5:40. I never thought I would have to say goodbye to her so soon. Just a few months ago she was one of the healthiest grandmas I knew. We would even brag about how healthy and mobile she was. She would get down on the

Hello crappy phone picture. I have reached the 32 week mark and it's just one more week closer to Sloane's arrival. We had a minor scare last week. My fundal height was measuring slightly smaller than normal and the doc wanted  to do an ultrasound to make sure that he was growing properly. He was

How many projects can I have going at once?

I'm not a juggler. In fact, I like to focus on one thing...get it accomplished...and move on to the next. However, with it being crunch time until the baby arrives, we are on a mad race to get MANY projects completed before my life becomes too full of kiddos to think about projects. Our biggest
