DUE DATE POLL!

I can't believe this time is already here.... I am 36 weeks along and have 4 weeks to go!! After the boy/girl poll, I promised to do a due date poll. Those who got the sex of my baby right (girl!) along with the right due date gets a free photo session and some free prints! So here we go!! Leave a comment telling me what date you think miss avery will come!
Here are a couple background tips on my boys:
Luke-I was induced a week early but was already progressing by the time I got to the hospital.
Dylan- my water broke at 37 weeks and 2 days. It was GREAT!!
GOOD LUCK!

happy birthday!!

Today is mark's birthday and what a day to look back and reflect on what a wonderful person, friend, husband and dad he is.... I couldn't find any pictures of JUST him, so I wanted to share a few of my favorites of him and the boys. I know I rant and rave about what a wonderful father he is, but that is so important to me and our kids. He is their ROCK STAR! He is such an amazing person and I love spending every moment we can together. He's always there for me when I need him... and I'm thankful he has put up with all of my emotional roller coasters this pregnancy!! He is very talented and is always willing to help others. I can't imagine spending my life with anyone other than him!!! Love you mark!!

breaking out the hose!

So saturday it got up to about 83 degrees or so....it was HOT!! Well,to me it felt like 100, but that's all because I have a furnace attached to me at all times!! So, what kid doesn't love to play in water!! My boys go nuts over it! So, I eventually let them have control of the hose and this is what came of it....

Luke had a good handle on it....



and dylan....well, I think he was trying to get a drink and ended up pointing the hose right in his face!! He started crying and mark and I couldn't stop laughing!!! It was so hilarious...if we had our video camera we would have totally submitted it to america's funniest home videos!!


hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!!

advertisment?

I forgot to post this one...it could clearly be an advertisment for sonic!!

two things I love

I couldn't have been happier when my little boy put daddy's hat on~and kept it on!! I LOVE hats on little boys! And to top it off-he was showing off his chunky loveable belly. I had to grab my camera...

bobbie jean

It's a good thing this little girl was soooo cute!!! It made me get pumped up for having a little girl soon:) She was so content and giggled for no reason!! She just had her first birthday and what a DOLL she is!! Thanks little bobbie jean for keeping me entertained!

just another day

just another day of playing in the backyard. It's something we ALL love to do! I usually take a book outside with me or lately I just try to get comfortable where I sit! The boys play around with toys, or chase eachother, or push eachother down the slide. Good times are had! And then lately all I can' think about is having a newborn again and not RELAXING as much as I do now. I think exhaustion would be the word i'm looking for when that time comes around! Is there any way to flash forward about 6 months?



What? Are they trying to hold hands??

and the lights went out!

A couple nights ago there was a tornado watch that came through north texas. It wasn't bad at all until after midnight it started to really rain and the wind was fierce! Then around 4am our lights started to flicker and then nothing... no sound was made in our house..no fans, no white noise! Within 1 minute my boys came crying into our room. So, being the great dad that he is, mark wanted to snuggle the boys all night. Me on the other hand went to the couch! I'm sorry but I can't sleep next to kids!! They roll around all night like little alligators! So, a few hours later after getting no sleep at all, I went in our bedroom to find my boys peacefully sleeping...with a flashlight close at hand:)


My boys are always in their p.j.'s but It was a late night the night before, thefore t-shirts had to do!

obsessed with feet

I like feet!! Not dirty ones that drag dirt through my house, but I love to take pictures of them!! My little climber was watching his cousins jump on the trampoline and so I just snapped away at his feet!! He's never still, so I definetley took advantage of this time. He's got the chunkiest feet I've ever seen on a kid! The kind where you try and go buy shoes for him and the top of his feet can't even get in the shoe!! It's like his feet are pump shoes where you wish you could just let the air out of them!!

bluebonnets

The other day my mom and I tried to go find a field of bluebonnets! We found some....so I know I will be looking for more in the meantime. But here is what we captured on the SUNNIEST day this week! It was sooo bright we could hardly see!

mint chocolate chip

Every month we get together at grandma's house and every time you can count on ice-cream cones!! So, as I was watching my little one start to eat his mint chocolate chip ice-cream...all by himself, I couldn't resist capturing this messy moment! He was so happy standing up in his chair while the ice-cream seeped through his fingers, dripped down his belly, and eventually landed on the table for him to pick it back up and start all over again.

growing up too fast...

The other night I kindly went to the store for my husband (something about dr. pepper fountain drinks are the best). As I was checking out, the cashier ( a good sized dark male) just looked at my belly...to be expected of course.
man: boy or girl?
me: girl
man: Is this your first
me: (excited to tell him no and this is why I'm so huge) no, it's my third
man: WOW!
me: yea (not surprised at the reaction...I get that everyday)
man: I have 2 kids, and now they're 16 and 14.
me: (trying to listen, when all I really want is to get out of there and eat my chocolate candy)
man: yep-they grow up so fast...my son who is 14 wears a size 16 shoe
me: WHAT!

So, as I drove home that night, I decided not only do I need to take more pictures of my kids when they're little (on top of the million I already have) but that I need to remember their cute little feet!!!! Who wants to take pictures of a size 16 foot!!!
