mac love

Do you know why I love our iMac?

Because every time I check the weather, I have a little sticky message from my love. 

fall-licious

I haven't posted these pictures of our fall for two reasons: I am apparently lazy, and am getting ready for a baby. The latter is really all you should worry about. 

Our good, wonderful , and sweet friends the Jennings had their second child, Maggie Rose a week ago this past Friday. She is beautiful. Just beautiful. Look at her! It was a great day. Once mom and dad were at the hospital I got to play with their oldest, Hunter all morning long until we could go to the hospital to see mom. We were busy, fighting, hunting, and slaying dragons. Then we visited Mitchell at his band hall. All Hunter wanted to do was play the cymbals. He got to play the cymbals and drums!

We had so much fun and are so grateful for the beautiful little life that Maggie is. Thank you Lord for this new baby! 

oh night devin

I am listening to Christmas music. Is it too soon? It gets me in the mood for peppermint hot chocolate, a big tree, and celebrating with Owen.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH, I can't wait any longer.

prayer today

Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.

I cried out to him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.

If I had cherished sin in my heart,the Lord would not have listened;

But God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.

Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!

Psalm 66:16-20

mother knows best

I talked to my mom yesterday to tell her Mitchell was sick. This was her response:

1. What kind of liquor do you have in the house. You need to make him a hot totty.
2. Get some Vicks. Warm it up in your hand and put it on his chest and feet. Then put some socks on his feet.

It took everything in me not to laugh. I saw the Vicks on the feet comment coming a mile away. That's my mom.

Nothing heals a cold like Vicks and a hot totty.

P.S. Mitchell got apple cider instead!

halloweeeeen

Saturday we had our Sunday School Halloween party, and had SO much fun. Here are a few pictures!

Lyndsey, James & Judson. Pirates and a little monster.

Lauren and her husband were cupid... and a love struck man?

It took me while to get what Meredith and Nathan were. Do you get it? Little Cesar's Pizza. Yes, I am slow. I know!

Yummy Pizza!

Christina and Ryan were an A&M basketball player, and the goal. The baby is the ball!

Toogoods were Hefty and Glaad!

SOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE! Masen doesn't have on his costume here, but it was a hot dog. Brooke and Jasen were the mustard and ketchup!

Mitchell and Andrew eating before everyone else! We aren't too sure what Andrew was supposed to be. Something along the lines of a Billy Ray Cyrus/weird stalker guy!

The Laws were soooo cute, too! Cowboy was a sock monkey. And they were the banana and tree! Things are so much cuter when you have a baby in the picture!

Here's Masen as the hotdog. And his 80's girlfriend, Allison!

My husband the baker....

Me the oven with the baked good, a bun! Get it? A bun in the oven.... ok so much funnier in my head!

hip action

My hips have not felt like this since I was in college and dancing. Seriously.

I feel like I have been doing high kicks and jump splits for weeks on end. You know where you jump as high and far and as extended as you can. Then fall into the splits.

Yes, that's how they feel right now. Every time I get up from sitting. Every time I walk.

And even in college it felt good because I was getting a good sweaty work out. Not so much now.

As long as I am not waddling or walking like I have something stuck you know where... I am good. For now.

heart burn

Why do they call it heart burn? My heart doesn't burn when I am having an episode. I don't feel like pawing at my chest.

They need to call it, the baby's sitting on your stomach, not allowing food to be digested, so it's finding its way back up your throat, so you feel like barfing all day/night long.

If my heard had anything to do with it, I am sure I'd be dead.

34 weeks

Have flown by. At the same time, these past months seem to be dragging. When I look at everything we have to do, I start to panic and worry if we will get everything done. Then I remember, that in the 6 short weeks that we have left I will be blessed with the presence of my sweet little boy. A blessing, and a creation from above, that will be all ours.

And everything else will not matter when he is here. The room can be incomplete. The decorations not up on the walls. And I don't care. (well secretly I really do. but I will pretend not to)

I cannot believe that The Lord has chosen us to be parents to a child that we will raise in His name, and teach of His life. What an honor to complete such a task. I pray every day that we can live up to these expectations, but know we cannot do it alone. That is why we've been blessed with loving families who praise and fear The Lord. A church family who already love our son. And a relationship with our Lord and Father who will be there every step of the way. I know it cannot be done alone.

brothers don't shake hands...

Brothers gotta hug!

So funny, I love Tommy boy.

Romulus met his long lost cousin Nikko yesterday. They aren't technically brother's. But the meeting made me think of the movie.

Nikko is Mitchell's roommate from college's dog, Daniel. Did that make sense? Daniel got Nikko after the boys had lived in the house for a while, and she was the first great dane in our lives. WE LOVE NIKKO! After seeing on Facebook that Romulus needed a new home, and meeting him, we knew he had to be our puppy. Nikko was/is such a great and loving dog! Great dane's love you soooo much!

After lunch yesterday, we decided the two should meet. I think Romulus was a little too much for Nikko, but they were best buds after a lot butt sniffing!


Romulus shared his bed with Nikko :)
