jon and kate Plus 8

I can't believe I just found this show! I'm completely obsessed. The way Kate runs this family is so inspirational. Some days I feel so overwhelmed with a 7 yr. old and a 4 mo. old. Then I watch this show and think, "What the heck am I complaining about!"

I looooove organization and schedules and, lemme tell ya, this gal does both with 8 kids better than I do with 2. Yeah, I know, it's a show and it's edited but even if what half they show is half-way true I'm still impressed.

I also love the fact that her and Jon still seem so in love and completely committed to their family.

I just have to say, I can't wait to grow old with my husband and kids. I can't wait to see my kids have kids.

Goooooo PIRATES!!!

4 month check up

Brynn has made it to the 4 mo. mark beautifully!!

Stats: 15 lb. 2.5 oz.
24 1/4 in. long

She got 3 jabs in the leg and an oral vaccine. After a 5 min. scream she was fine. Came home and took a nice long nap. Hopefully she won't have to high of a fever this time. Dr. says we can start cereal now and some veggies too!! Can't wait to see how she does.

Here are a few pics of her first time in the pool:

It's hard bein' a baby! By the way, daddy HATES the bikini!

First time big brother fed her!

3 Month Portraits

Here are some shots by Loveless in town. I had to use them to get the wonderful leather photo album that I got for Logan when he was little. I usually have my sister in law take the kids pics though. She take amazing shots as well. Check her out at www.myreflections.org.

A Summer Romance...

Logan has been attending VBS this week and here is our conversation from Monday after I picked him up from his first day:

Me: How was VBS today?
Logan: I have a new girlfriend.
Me: Really! How do you know she's your girlfriend? Did you ask her or do you just know?
Logan: Because when we're sitting in the sanctuary all together she looks at me and I look at her. Sometimes we both look at each other at the same time and then we look away.
Me: Ohhh. OK. What's her name?
Logan: I don't know?

Summer Lovin'! How cute! Although I'm not sure I'm ready for the whole Girlfriend thing just yet.

Miracles of Photoshop

I've always wanted to know how to turn a photo to black and white with only 1 thing in color. I finally learned how! Man, I could really get carried away.

There are days...

that I really miss my mom. Today is one of those days.

Changes they are a comin'

So I've been doing some reflecting the past few days. I don't know if it's all the media coverage I've been seeing lately or that my baby is getting bigger and I feel more comfortable about her having sitters but, I've been feeling like my old self a bit lately.

Let's Reflect...
This time last year I had woken a few hours before in a tent next to 4 of my bestest friends. Me, Carrie, Tiner, Michelle and Jennifer. The Fab 5! We were at Bonnaroo about to have the best time of our lives!! Good friends and good music...what more could a girl want! We drove down on Thursday and sat in traffic for about 5 hours only to get the absolute worst camping spot you could get. 3 MILES from Centeroo!! This is what we hiked at least twice a day. We immediately took to setting up camp and realized we brought way too much stuff. Oh well.

After Bonnaroo, I was going to come home on that Sunday and leave on Monday for Destin with the Deckers. We had beautiful weather the whole time. This would have been awesome beach time except for the fact that we had construction on our beach everyday except the last. Soooo that's what I was doing this time last year. We had 1 kid, Carrie was not pregnant and Tina was still in her 20's.
Fast-forward a year and my how time's a change! We've got 2 kiddos now, Carrie's got her 2nd on the way and we're celebrating Tina's 30th this weekend!! No vacation or Bonnaroo for this year but, we have a beautiful, healthy baby girl instead! It's just so crazy to think how much has changed in 1 short year! So that's what's on my mind today...until another day.
