NOT a Natural Blogger

I read so many fun blogs and people who have so much to say and such great ideas that I love reading! Unfortunately that is not a talent that I have. Facebook is a much easier place for me to get my thoughts out!
But I thought I'd give it another try and see what I can do. I love reading posts about my friends everyday lives and the things they experience with their families, especially their children.

The last couple days Peyton has been rather fussy, not wanting to play by herself or explore with her new crawling ability. But this girl LOVES being outside and when I say LOVES I mean it, the minute she gets outside whatever was wrong is now a distant memory! Because of that we have spent a lot of time in the beautiful weather the last few days. Kara (our pastor's middle daughter) came and took her for a walk to see dad at work and helped while I got some laundry and dishes done and then yesterday we spent some time in the backyard throwing Grace and George their Frisbees and then went to our high school baseball game. But this morning when we all woke up I notices some bumps on her hands, when I changed her out of her PJ's the bumps were on her arms and legs and face! I called the Doctor first thing and they didn't seem to worried about it unless it seemed to bother her or get worse. We have been so blessed by the fact that she has not been sick. I just don't know what to do it looks sooo bad and I feel even worse. Luckily she is asleep on my lap and happy for the moment. I'm praying it is just a simple heat rash from her clothes after being outside this week and that it will GO AWAY!!!

Well there after almost a year, I've blogged again!

Baby Warr's Heartbeat!

Dr.'s apt. used to be a very nerve racking thing for me but with this pregnancy I have had so much hope going into each one. Today was our second Dr.'s apt for baby Warr and we heard the heartbeat! It was so amazing! Very strong, and very fast, our Dr. joked that if you listened to the old wise tales that we would be having a girl :) but he said he doesn't put any stock in that we will have to wait 8 more weeks before we find that out! I lost a few pound because of all the morning sickness I've had but he said hopefully 2-3 more weeks and it SHOULD completely subside. We are praying for that! As of today we are 13 weeks and 5 days, 2 days into the 2nd trimester and for the most part loving every minute of it! I'm ready to look pregnant instead of just having a little bulge around my pants but that will come! Prayers are always appreciated as we continue on this journey! Pictures to come later, when I actually look like I have a belly :)

Old Friends and Photos

Chris and I got to go see some of our former youth this past Saturday. We were taking family pictures for one of their families, The Watson's. We had a lot of fun, especially with little Kait, we hadn't seen her in over 6 months so to see her running around was so much fun. This was an energetic bunch, except, when it was their turn for pictures! The boys, did NOT want to smile, Kait could not sit still long enough for Chris to take a couple shots, oh but it was so much fun! We love these guys and it was so great to get to spend some extra time with them. Below are a few shots that I just love and wanted to share! There are more on our the Photography blog.

Spring Break Camping

Chris and I have really need some time together and some time away from our home and our jobs. We also really wanted to see our family in Arkansas so we got a 2 for 1 deal.

We camped at Brady Mountain @ Lake Ouchita in Arkansas.

We were able to see his adorable little cousins play basketball, it was so much fun to see them play. Then we got to go into town and have lunch with both his sides of the family, can we say FOOD OVERLOAD! Oh but it was good.

We had a really great time and needless to say we did not want to come back home! Oh and George and Grace had a great time too, especially playing in the lake with their frisby's. Can we say more please!!!

Time for some cheering up!

My phone rang early Monday morning on March 9th and I knew something was wrong. My mom doesn't call me from California at 6 in the morning Texas time just to chat. My wonderful and dear Great Aunt Rosie had passed away earlier that morning.

She was more than just a great aunt to say the least and I miss her very much. I was having a very rough day and Chris stayed with me through it all. Later that afternoon he decided it would be best to get me out of the house for a little while and I finally agreed.

Chris took me to Cabela's and we enjoyed a good afternoon together and it helped me to stop the crying (hense the glasses below :( ) at least for a little while.

All that knew her were blessed by her loving, kind and giving spirit. I miss her everyday but I know she is rejoicing in heaven with her husband.

A Fine Day for a Picnic

Ok so I'm a little slow at uploading picutres and blogging. I end up doing it all at once.

Well Chris and I have been enjoying our nice backyard with the dogs and he finally got a Saturday off of work and we decided to have some friends over for a BBQ.

It was a little windy but we played croquet and ate hot dogs and hamburgers. It was so much fun to have little ones around too! I think Chris and I both have a lot to learn before we have kids!

After awhile we went inside and played some games. Oh how I love Apples to Apples! It's so much fun, especially with a good group of friends.

All to say we had a wonderful BBQ Saturday, although it was a couple weeks ago now!! :)
