My heart...

I absolutely could NOT choose just one picture to post, so I'm posting them all! 

These 3 little munchkins have completely stolen my heart! I love them more everyday!











I wanna have one made into a canvas for our bedroom. Which one you think? 
Black & White? Sepia? Color?

Let me know!

Spray Ground

This morning we took the kids to meet my friend Lindsey and her son Maverick, Josh & Laura (my brother-in-law & sister-in-law) and their girls, Maddie-Kate and Kinsley, and my mother-in-law Cathy.

The kids had a blast playing and I feel bad that I haven't taken them before now! I think it stays open through August though, so we'll DEFINITELY be going again! 

It's great because its small and closed in so they can just run and play and you don't have to stay right with them!

Brock & Andi playing on playground while waiting on spray ground to open

Little stinker

Come on Mom, another picture?!?

Andi and Mamaw

Thinking about getting in the water...

Andi is thinking about getting wet too

Brock jumped right in!



Still not sure, but he eventually LOVED playing in the water :)

Me and my sweet niece Kinsley :)

Andi having a ball!

My sweet girl!

Mamaw brought us a picnic lunch

But it was hard to eat cause of the TONS of yellow jackets!!!!

I have really never seen so many in my life, but thankfully no one was stung


Kinsley fell asleep like this while Josh was swinging her! So precious!



We had a great day at the spray ground!! I love spending time with my family!

Would ya look at that?!?

So, I had a genius idea to move some of my old furniture into our old bedroom (we just added a master bedroom onto our house-YEAH-post to come).

Brian was not happy with me about moving the furniture cause 1. it was 8:30pm and 2. it is some HEAVY junk!!

But he agreed cause he loves me :) 

This is my injury I have to show for the "fun" evening of moving furniture!



The picture doesn't do the bruise justice, it looks much worse in person!

I was holding the front of the dresser walking up the stairs and Brian was under the dresser and it started slipping from my hands and he kept saying "if you drop it, you'll kill me!" (He was serious, it was sitting on his chest and holding all the weight cause of being on the stairs.) So instead of dropping it all at one time, I let it slide down the back if my leg! Not smart!!!! But Brian is still alive, so I guess it all worked out! I'll take a bruise over a squished hubby any day!

Andi & Coop + Unattended Muffins= BAD

The other night I was busy making about 6 dozen muffins for Brock's birthday party and I was cooling them on a towel in the dining room...

The kids were all running around playing and KNEW not to touch mommies muffins!!! But I noticed it got quiet, never a good thing with 3 kids! I walked into the dining room and this is what I found...


They had taken bites out of 9 of them!!!!!!

It's funny now, but I spanked both of them when I found them chowing down on my muffins!!!

I know this will be a sweet memory to look back on one day!

My Mama

Before I get carried away blogging, I am trying to introduce the most important people in my life. So, the next in line is my very special my mama!



She is a super incredible woman! She has been my nearest and dearest friend my whole life and our relationship has only gotten stronger over the years. I appreciate her so much more now that I am a mother myself. She is so beautiful on the outside and just as beautiful on the inside. 

She is a great mother and an amazing Gigi!! She says she had kids, just to have grandkids! She is so loving, caring, free-spirited, and has such a blast with her grand-kiddos! And they LOVE her so much!

I hope and pray that I can be the kind of mother to my children, like mama was/is to me!
Love you mama!! 







I'll try to find a picture of me and mama sometime! We are always so busy taking pictures of the kids and not us!

Our Kiddos

If there is one thing that I LOVE to talk about, its our kids! I know I can totally drive people nuts telling stories about them, but sometimes I can't help myself cause they are to stinking sweet not to talk about!

Our oldest is Brock. He will be 4 on July 25th. He likes to say that he'll be 4, then 5, and then he says he'll be 28! Such a crazy kid! He is such a joy and we love to say that he is one-of-a-kind! He has always had such a special personality, he never meets a stranger and is so polite. Brock has the biggest and sweetest heart! He's my angel! He is such a funny character and is too smart for his own good sometimes! Brian and Brock are best buddies. Brock is his Daddy's shadow, he is loving the summer time since his Daddy his home and they've been able to spend lots of time together working in the yard, fixing the boat, feeding our fish, washing cars, and just hanging out!






                  





When Brock was 1 we started trying to get pregnant again and that we did...

                                         With TRIPLETS!!! 

Talk about the shock of our lives! It was the coolest, scariest, most amazing experience of my life to find out I was carrying not 1, not 2, but 3 babies inside of me! But we found out at about 13 weeks that baby C had some health issues and after seeing another specialist in Atlanta found out that it had a limb body wall defect and would either pass away during the pregnancy or would be still born. It was such a test of our faith but we clung to our Savior to get through the next few weeks and months. Baby C went to be with the Lord when I was about 17 or 18 weeks pregnant. We are so thankful that we have wonderful families, friends, and a great church family that just loved on us and helped us through the most difficult time of our lives.

 Andi & Cooper continued to thrive throughout my pregnancy and were born via C-section at 35 weeks!   Since Andi & Cooper are our last babies, I am trying to soak up every minute and really appreciate them and Brock at every stage! They just turned 2 on April 17th!  

















Andi Leigh is my little DIVA! She is 2 going on 12 (I used to hate it when people would say that to me when I was younger!)  She has such a funny little personality! I know she's my daughter, so I'm a little biased,  but she is GORGEOUS!!! She has a mind of her own and is so independent already. Her newest word is 'self', she wants to do everything on her own! I am so proud to have a daughter, because I am SUPER close to my mama and I wanted a little girl so we could have a relationship like my mom and I have. Andi used to be a major mama's girl, but now she goes back and forth between me and Brian!












And last but certainly not least, Cooper David. He is such a special little man. Words can't even explain how sweet he is. He has such a laid back personality and is super calm and observant for the most part. But he has his moments when he goes 'crazy' like we call it and he acts super funny and spastic! He is beginning to shadow Brock and always wanting to be doing what "Bwock" is doing! I'll admit when he was a baby, he was the most difficult because he was colicky, but once he got over it, he's been a wonderful baby! He isn't a clingy baby, but he has gotten mama-itis pretty bad lately. And I LOVE it! It makes me feel so good that I can make him feel comfortable and he'll get calmed down if he's upset once mama comes to the rescue!












If you can't tell, I ADORE my children (and hubby!) more than anything in this world. They are the reason I was created! My dream was always be a wife and mommy~So I am living my dream! (Most days!)


                                 Stay tuned for the many adventures of ABC mama!
