Over the past several years our boys have played the same league for sports which is actually at our church. The boys have met a sweet boy named Jackson and we have also become great friends with his parents and little sister. This family is so sweet to us and they decided to meet us down at the beach and spend some time with us. They were able to get a condo in the same condominium as us so the kids had a BALL!!!! It was a great time for all of us! I'm so glad they were able to make it and make memories with our family! </div>

Since Westin didn't like the beach a whole lot, he was very fond of taking great naps on the beach each afternoon. It was perfection and my time to enjoy laying out without a toddler on me. </div>

One night we drove into Gulf Shores and went to LuLu's. It was a BLAST and seriously Disneyworld at the beach. It was so much fun for the kids and adults. We waited for 2 hours to eat but enjoyed the entire time. Here is a picture of our family and us with our friends. Sorry for the crazy eyes, the person taking these pictures didn't do the best of jobs. (Personally, my pet peeve!)</div>

I can't wait to take another fun trip with my family. We literally live for all of our vacations, they are so much fun and usually much needed at that time. Taking time away from every day life is wonderful to do and such a blessing. Coming home back to reality is difficult to do! I with each day was a vacation but then we wouldn't treasure that time as much as we do. </div>

This year was our second time to go to Perdido Key for family vacation. It was such a wonderful time this summer and the whole week with all 4 of my special boys was a dream come true. The water was unusually clear and perfect all the way around. Westin was not the biggest fan of the beach but that boy could play at the pool for hours on end. Spending time at the beach with your loved ones is my happy place. </div>

The ages of Will & Luke are my favorite. (Although I do say this at every age) They are very independent boys now but they are still so innocent and sweet. Will loves to have big boy conversations with us which makes my heart happy. Expressing my beliefs to him about certain things he has questions about is a good feeling people. </div>

My Mom was so kind and gracious to have Will & Luke for over 2 weeks in Georgia, the first part of the summer. They did everything from VBS with their cousins to cook outs with my family. It was a blast and they didn't want to leave. I think they would of stayed if we had not been about to take our beach trip. We met up in Nashville to pick them up from her and had a blast. </div>

Today is a very special day for all of the Father's. For a Father's Day post I thought I would write a letter to my boys on how special their father is to them. I hope one day they can look back to this blog not only with memories but also with information they might not know about their Dad. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<i> Your Daddy was raised to be a family man and was given strong faithful roots to pass on to his family. Since we first started to date it was very important to him for us to have a special bond to pass on to our children. Boys, I never knew how strong that bond could be but as the years go by it gets stronger and stronger. I pray one day you realize how important your wife and children are like your father has done. He loves you so much and in every decision we face, he thinks of you three first. Daddy is very protective of his family and will not be embarrassed by anything to make sure you boys are raised in the way the Lord would see fit. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i> Nobody is perfect and he has faults of his own but he is the first to realize them and try to make corrections. When Daddy ask you to put your shoes away before coming in the house, makes you eat & drink only in the kitchen and expects you both to clean up after yourselves..... this is only for your own good and because he loves you so much that he cares enough to make sure you boys are raised to be great young men. Daddy spends long days at work to help provide for his family and he rarely takes off. His work ethic is the best I've ever seen and his loyalty is infectious. Realize that all of these traits are ones you need to never forget. These are all great qualities we want to see in you boys! </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i> You will rarely see Daddy take time to do something for himself. He is always with us and that is something he never wants to change. He enjoys being in our company and he loves us so much that he would rather spend his time with then out with "the guys". Those nights are so rare that neither one of you can go to sleep without Daddy home. ;-) Never forget the conversations you have when he is tucking you into bed. I can't tell you how many times I've heard belly laughs coming from the room after I've left and then also I've heard serious conversations being discussed when he tucks you in. I love to see the smile on Daddy's face when he is talking about one of you, something funny you have been doing or something he wants to never forget. The young years of raising a family are quickly passing by and he never wants to forget these times we spend together. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i> Finally and most importantly, the love you see in your Daddy when He worships the Lord, this is the most important lesson of all. If you can imagine, your Heavenly Father loves you more than we could fathom so always love the Lord. Each day Daddy says a special prayer for all three of his boys and it is the number 1 best thing he could do for you. Your Daddy loves each one of you more than you could ever imagine, you are so blessed to be loved by him! </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Love, </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Mommy</i></div>

While Will and Luke are in Georgia visiting my family, we are here doing our normal routine but in a very, very quiet home. Westin is quieter with them gone but he is LOVING the attention. I'm glad we have this one on one time with him. I often think about what life will be like when the kids are grown and I don't like the house being so quiet. I like the garage door slamming shut every 5 minutes with them running in AND out of the house constantly. I enjoy them arguing about who is getting in the shower first and having to settle with flipping a coin to make the decision for them. AND I most certainly miss having wrestling matches in my living room floor daily. These are things just one week ago would be getting on my LAST nerve but see now that they are gone, I miss it deeply. Let's hope when they return I'm still this nice! ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have been having an absolute BLAST. This week is VBS for them each day at my families church. They are there with cousins, aunts, uncles & my Mom. The fact that they cried tonight to me telling me that they will miss VBS after tomorrow tells me that they are having the time of their life and they rightfully should right now. Mom has told me that they both have made new friends and that is a huge step for them, especially Will. He is much quieter than Luke and Will can feel uncomfortable easily. Hearing that they both were saying bye to friends on the first day made my heart happy. I want them having a blast! Each afternoon they have gone to their cousins to play or gone to the local country club to swim, I promise you they are having way more fun in Georgia than they would be having at home with us. I did ask them tonight if they were homesick yet, they both screamed NO! I will admit that I'm torn on this matter, I selfishly wish they were homesick for us but I'm so happy they are having such a great time and feel comfortable. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't express how excited I am for them to be experiencing these memories with my family. I'm fortunate to have a close family but they all live in Georgia and raising my family here in Memphis can make that so difficult. I hope when they are older they will look back and think of fond memories with part of their summer's being spent in Georgia. I know that my Mom, Dad, Grandmother and all of the rest of my family is making sure they are having a great time. Luke made the decision Wednesday to ask Jesus to come into his heart. Having my family there to lead him made me cry like a baby. I'm so proud of my boys and I'm so happy they are surrounded my loving people in their lives. Right now they don't know it but they are blessed boys to have family here in Memphis and in Georgia love them so much! God is so good!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend we plan to finish everything up that we need to in the house to get it ON THE MARKET!! Plus, we also need to get things together for our beach trip in just TWO weeks!!! Next weekend we will be in Nashville with the boys and my Mom so the next several weeks are busy for our family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all have a blessed weekend, don't forget about Father's Day Sunday! All of the sweet Daddy's deserve to have a special day too! </div>

J and I both agree having just one child at home is much harder than having all 3 home. Until Will and Luke were both gone I never realized how much they keep Westin entertained. They are older so they often play with each other but since they've been gone I noticed Westin needs more of our attention, I'm sure because they keep him entertained much more than we realized. Plus, being #3 he doesn't get our undivided attention regularly so he is loving it being just him! ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I said yesterday, Westin did NOT want to stay with us. He was so upset he couldn't go back with his big brothers and his "DeeDee" (my Mom). He quickly got over that because he is eating up the attention from Daddy and I. He has been hilarious these past two days but has been a huge helper. He helped me clean out big brothers room yesterday and today helped me get it ready to paint, he helped us at the grocery store and then helped me put the groceries away. I caught him climbing up in the refrigerator because of course you have to have fun when you are working. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
J and I are really enjoying this time with Westin. We have said to each other this weekend that we don't know what people do without kids. The house is SO QUIET. We have also caught ourselves saying that we don't know what people do with just one child. It is so much harder having just one verses having more kiddos. They must play with one another so it isn't too bad. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all have a great week, I will keep you posted on the progress in the boys room. </div>

Will and Luke go to Georgia for a week or two to spend time with my family. With my family living in Georgia you can only imagine all of the fun family events we have to miss so when they go to visit them each summer I miss them dearly, but I also know they are making memories of their own with my family. They both were super excited but it is also upsetting as well. Luke and I cried like babies and I kept telling him he didn't have to go but they both assured me they wanted to go. They safely made the trip and are now sleeping soundly at my Mom's tonight. </div>

Westin climbed in the truck between Will and Luke. He thought he was going with them and when he figured out he wasn't he was not a happy camper. He kept waving and telling us bye bye. Poor thing, maybe next year. </div>

Today we spent the day cleaning out Will and Luke's room. While they are gone I'm painting it so now it is all clean, ready to be painted. I can't wait to work on their room, it has been several years with no change and change is always good! Plus a fresh coat of paint is nice if your trying to sell your home. </div>

Daddy had a helper this afternoon with the yard work. He isn't real sure about being the only kid here but I do think he is enjoying it greatly. He talked to his brothers tonight and it was hilarious what all he was telling them. I don't know if they will last two weeks, I'm secretly hoping they want to come home next weekend. </div>

You know when it is raining outside (which lately it seems it hasn't stopped) and you are driving down the street, you look in your rear view mirror and notice tire tracks you are leaving behind on the wet pavement. They are slowly fading away, never be seen again. That is how I feel about starting this new chapter in my life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I completely stepped out of my comfort zone (which is very hard for me to do) and decided to go work for another company. I can't tell anyone exactly why I decided to do it, it has just felt right ever since the opportunity became available. I am beyond excited about my new adventures. Learning new ways, new systems, new people, new enviroments... everything will be new to me but that is ok, life is about taking chances and I have complete faith that God has opened this door and for me to not look back one more time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had a week to reflect on my previous job and the new changes that are taking place in our lives. I remember praying to God recently (before this opportunity was brought up) and asked Him to please help us. We were ok, getting by in life of course but selfishly I wanted more. I asked Him to please either show me the way to advance in my career or allow me to clearly understand where I need to be. I knew the company I was at was not bad but that it wasn't exactly what I wanted at that time. He allowed this lady and I get start talking and it was all over from there. God brought her into my life and I am forever grateful to Him, He knew the desires of my heart and prepared my way for me. People, I often sit at night and just thank Him over and over again for my many blessings.<br />
<br />
I'm sorry this has turned into a thank you post to the Lord but He is the only one who deserves my praises. God knows what J and I want for our life and family. He knows EXACTLY what kind of life we want to live and He is starting to pave the way for us. There were times we thought it was never possible but He is proving us wrong and He is proving that we much always believe in Him.<br />
<br />
Sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone can be so scary. It is actually very scary and for weeks my stomach was in knots but I know that I have Him on my side and His way is always the way! This has been my first week at my new company and I often have to pinch myself. There is a small learning curve with their system but it has already proved to be a very "down home" place to be and I feel so comfortable. My previous job is quickly fading away like the tracks on a wet road but I'm looking forward to what is ahead on this new road that God has opened for me.<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a blessed Friday! My Mom is in town and we are enjoying her company so much! I will post more on that later!<br />

This weekend we had the pleasure of going to Hardy, AR to spend Saturday with some sweet friends of ours, they invited us to their cabin on the Spring River. We had a blast and more importantly the kids had so much fun. They did not want to leave and they fished their little hearts out for 24 hours, it was so much fun! Getting away from Memphis and spending time with friends along with each other is what life is all about. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The boys would take their floats up to the top of the rocks and float down. It looked like so much fun. I was afraid I would get stuck on a rock since I'm not as light as they are so I decided to sit back and take picture, not participate. ;-)</div>

It was awesome seeing Will & Luke having so much fun. Being a parent we really do everything for our kids and when we take small trips like this it is for them.

I had to stick a picture of my good lookin' hubby on here. He was manning the canoe for us while the boys were floating on the rafts. We didn't go canoeing down the river.

If Will & Luke weren't floating they were fishing and caught fish left and right. There are a ton of fish in the river and beautiful ones at that. Will caught his first bass fish, so proud of this little guy. He really has learned to love to fish and I think it might be something he will always enjoy to do. It is something Mommy has no desire to do but anything for my boys! ;-)</div>

This morning we got up, had breakfast with the group of friends and then headed back home. It was a quick trip but as you can see a great time was had by all! We needed to be back for our nephew's graduation party this afternoon. The boys slept a lot of the way home since they were so exhausted and you can see how precious they look.</div>

By the time we made it to the party, Westin had enough of being on the go. He wanted to be at home in his bed napping and unfortunately we couldn't at that time. He finally perked up and swam in the pool with his cousins. I love me some awesome family times with our extended family!!!</div>

Since most of our time this past weekend was spent in the water, I thought it was only fitting to have the post title "water weekend". We literally went from our house, to the pool, to the store, out to eat and then back home again ALL WEEKEND LONG! It was beyond fabulous to not have a ton of things planned because the next several weekends are slammed packed. Thank you to who have and do serve in our military, I am forever grateful for the sacrifice you make for me and my family on a daily basis! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I neglected the camera this weekend and tried to be in the moment so please forgive me for not having a ton of pictures. Since Westin is still by my side most of the time, he gets most of the pictures, the only one of Will and Luke I got was below in the pool. I think they were in the middle of wrestling. Boys....</div>

I snapped this picture of Westin when he was OVER the pool. This was Sunday afternoon and he really didn't want to still be there but you can see big brothers heads popping up in the water behind him. I posted this on instagram and my Mom called me not real happy with me. She said that I shouldn't put pictures of him so upset because he is always such a happy boy. Although he is always super happy, there is nothing wrong in showing this side of him as well. We all have our moments. ;-)</div>

On Monday we were at the pool for over 5 hours. Westin did NOT want to be at the pool so he took a two hour nap shortly after arriving. After he woke up he was a different kid and kept jumping in the pool. He had a ball. He has a puddle jumper that he isn't fond of but it is the best thing ever, allows the wild man to have his fun while being safe as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Nothing says summertime fun like taking a long nap in the shade, at the pool with lots of noise around. Mommy had several thoughts of joining the little man. </div>

He is going through a phase and won't let me take pictures of him looking in the camera. He grins like this most of the time and will look down, I had to beg him to look at me just one time. Silly boy!!! As you can see once he did look at me he had to pretend to poke his belly with the mini flashlight he was playing with... I mean seriously, the child is hilarious!</div>

May might be one of my favorite months. It is always a busy one but it is the kick off to the summer which is always lots of fun! May 2014 has brought our family many changes. From looking for houses to Mommy making a job change. I could not be more excited about what we have going on right now in our lives and sitting back to see how God is blessing are family makes it that much more amazing. Just a few nights ago we sat back and discussed how different our lives are right now than they were even a month ago, God is truly amazing. When we thought there was not a way, He made a way! May all of the Glory be to God!!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok, back to my May post. Here is a sweet picture of Will and Luke from this Thursday, May 22, 2014 on their last FULL day of school. They had a half a day Friday which I told them they didn't have to go but they insisted so of course I let them go. I can't believe next year I will have a 5th grader and 3rd grader. I could not be more proud of these two boys. They truly are a gift from God and they constantly keep us laughing and are so smart. We love them both so much! </div>

I went to the zoo on May 15, 2014 with Luke's class. These were the sweet kids they gave me. This is Luke's buddies in his class: Elijah, Tanner, Luke, Laci and Eric. Laci is my niece. She was there with her class and when she saw me she had to go with us. It was super fun and they all were such wonderful kids. I love being able to do fun things like this with the boys. Luke was so happy to have me there with them! </div>

Westin is a huge handful and just like I said before, he wants to be like his big brothers and pitches a fit to sit in Luke's seat. So, he got his way while we were going through the neighborhood. Silly boy! </div>

My beautiful iris' finally bloomed this year. This is one of the reasons I feel in love with this little house 10 years ago but about 4 years ago they stopped blooming. A lot of it had to do with me stopping the maintenance on them, not that it's much but I stopped cleaning out this flower bed and well this year I gave them some love and more mulch, they approved and within 2 weeks they were in full bloom. I am becoming more and more like my Momma, love my flowers!!</div>

J's parents live on some land and we have been going to their house each weekend to help in their yard. They just can't keep up with it all anymore so we are trying to help them out. Westin hopped in the wheel barrel and loved every minute of Daddy pushing his around the yard. He doesn't look happy in this picture but I promise he was having a ball!</div>

Another one of Westin's fits is always revolved around the shopping buggy's. He likes to have his own and I thought this was hilarious in Walgreen's last weekend. He is the funniest and most head strong boy I've ever seen. Our Kroger has small kid buggy's and that is much better than this one at Walgreens. </div>

Whenever I'm asked about our kids and how many we have, etc.. After saying we have 3 boys; ages 10, 7 & 2 it is always followed by "Are you going for that girl next?". (after a huge smile followed with a look like that person feels sorry for me, ha)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While, having more children would be a great idea, asking me right now I smile and say "no thank you, we are done." Now, we made this decision together and it is official that we can't have children the good ole fashion way. So, technically we are done. However, the first year after Westin was born I think we thought about this decision on a weekly basis and I even discussed with my doctor ways to make it happen after we made the final choice to close that chapter in our lives. It is not that we are crazy people but we actually thought having 3 children would be overwhelming to us and also come with a financial burden that we didn't know we could handle. After Westin was born we realized that adding him to our family didn't change one bit, just another little boy to fill our home with laughter and joy (and the occasional tears). So, the first year of Westin's life we questioned the decision we made, met with my doctor on how to change it but then the day came when Westin became a little older, the tide has started to change. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Westin just turned two and although he is still a huge blessing added to our family, we could not feel more complete with him. He is a funny little guy, we say the funniest toddler we've had yet but I remember all of the boys being hilarious and us thinking no one will ever be this funny. He is the most head strong of our children as well. He wants to be so much like his big brothers that it can cause him confusion, which always ends in the loudest screams. He honestly doesn't understand why he has to ride in his car seat (when "Well" doesn't have to) or why he can't walk in the grocery store instead of riding in the buggy. Dealing with these challenges on a daily basis makes me more and more thankful that we have made the decision to close the "baby making" chapter in our lives. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those days were the best of our lives but it is time for us to look forward to the next chapter that will also be the "best days of our lives." We are looking forward to the rest of the days with our three boys. God knew exactly what He was doing when He gave us three boys. I would not change one thing about these little beings that we are raising to be young men. They are the light of our lives and I am forever grateful to Him for trusting me with three healthy, smart, handsome young boys! I am forever grateful to the Lord for giving me peace about our family and allowing me to look forward to the many fun times we have ahead for our family. We in the middle of many changes for our family but they all are for the good. Thank you Lord for giving us all peace, the 5 of us are the most important things to each other and I could not be happier about our family! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Are you going to try for that girl?" : No, thank you for asking but we are so blessed to have our three perfect boys! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pray you all are enjoying your Memorial Day weekend! We have a laptop now in this household so I should be posting a lot more often. Many love and thanks to all of you! </div>

</div>
<div align="center">
On this day, 15 years ago I was on my way home from high school. I was 15 years old myself and of course anxious to get home. When I pulled into the driveway I noticed my Dad was there. My parents were divorced at the time and it wasn't my day to go to my Dad's so it was odd but then again my parents are great friends so I didn't think too much about it. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Dad got my brother (Brandon) and I together who was a senior in high school at the time. Dad went on to tell us that our mother was in the hospital, it was raining that day so I assumed a car wreck. He went on to say that she has suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm and is waiting to hear about when her surgery will be scheduled. All of Mom's family at that time was called to the hospital and on the way to Memphis from Atlanta. I knew then it must be something serious. My 15 year old mind couldn't comprehend the seriousness of having a brain aneurysm but hearing all of Mom's family was on the way scared me. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
That night Dad took us to the hospital to visit my Mom. She was so strong and didn't want us to be upset, she was in a terrible amount of pain but amazingly she had a conversation with us. I remember one vivid moment at the hospital. She asked Brandon and I to step outside of the room so we sat in the hallway on two metal chairs, next to each other. We had a chance to talk about what was happening and from that point on our relationship changed, we relied on each other. Mom asked my Dad to stay in the room with her. Years later I was told that Mom told him everything she wanted him to do with us if she didn't make it through. We were told she would not make it but as a mother now, I could not imagine having that conversation with my children's father. What a blessing Mom had to be able to speak to him and at the same time I can only imagine the thoughts both of them had. Dad never left our side, he was amazing and was there for us through all of the difficult times we had. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Mom's surgery was scheduled for the next morning so we all went home for the night and came back early the next morning. I don't remember much about that day but us all being in the waiting room for the whole day. My aunts, uncles, grandmother, Dad, Mom's co-workers all stayed the entire day. The doctor's came out to speak to Brandon and I to explain what all happened. Mom suffered another ruptured brain aneurysm on the operating table which that one would of killed her if she was not in surgery at that time. As you can see, God has His hand in this whole ordeal. She is literally a walking miracle! The doctor's explained to us that she would not know who we are, she would have to relearn everything from walking to talking to eating and everything between. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
After surgery, Mom asked to see Brandon and I. After talking to her and seeing she was ok, I knew we all would be ok. She beat all of the odds. Everything they prepared us for she did the complete opposite. It was an amazing and hard time! They tried to keep our schedules normal while she was in the hospital recovering but I couldn't do it. I wanted to be by her side all the time so that's mainly what I did. After she was in the hospital for only one full week, she came home! Her long recovery process started at home and it took her years to recover. She is now thriving and is a reminder each day that miracles happen. So many people we have met throughout the years have died from this evil medical problem and I'm so blessed Mom was not one of them. It could of easily been Mom but God had more plans for her life at that time! He was not over with her life. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I look back as a Mom now and think of all of the terrible thoughts she might of had knowing she could of died. She was so strong and is still so strong to us all! She was only 38 when this happened. That is only 8 years from my age right now. I encourage anyone who has lost a relative to a brain aneurysm to get tested yourself. No one knows exactly why aneurysms happen but they do know they can be hereditary. I get myself scanned every 5 years. I actually have a very small aneurysm but it hasn't grown in the last 10 years we have been getting it checked so it will likely never grow and never become an issue. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Aneurysm awareness is the best. Always trust your body and it will tell you if something is wrong. Mom walked into the emergency room from the worst headache she's ever experienced. She had just passed out at work from this headache and that saved her life. Her co-workers dropping what they were doing to rush her to the hospital. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Hug the ones you love the most, we are not promised tomorrow! </div>

We had a busy weekend but they always seem to be that way. Luke has started to play baseball and is the first one of the boys to enjoy playing baseball. Notice I said enjoyed, Will tried it when he was 4 and it was not for him. I can't get him to try it again. Luke has fallen in love with this sport but I have to be honest, it is so boring to me. I'm trying to get into it and I'm sure I will but I have lots of learning to do! Saturday was Luke's first game and he was just super excited! I'm so proud of him. With him being the middle child I worry about him feeling left out but with him playing his own sport he has really grown and he is proud of himself. </div>

After the game Saturday J took the older boys to his parents to work in their yard while Westin napped I got lots of things done in the house. We are in the process of getting the house on the market so there is a "to-do list" a mile long. Saturday night the boys had a friend come play and I caught Westin watching them play while he was on his scooter. Sweet boy!! </div>

I'm not real sure where the days went the past two years. I mean they really do fly by when your having fun. My sweet little bundle of joy just turned two on Thursday, April 3. Westin is such a joy. My word for him has always been joy and he continues to be nothing but a joy in our family. He is the funniest & smartest little boy I've ever been around. </div>

Now, Westin turning two does make me sad in many ways. I can't believe I will never have a newborn to nurse and love again BUT I'm so happy to finally be in a spot in my life to be happy to see the future. I'm glad in many ways that the baby making days are over and we can embrace our three boys. Nourish them and watch them grow into three gentlemen. </div>
<div align="center">

I hope you all are having a blessed Monday. It's rainy and gloomy here so I can't wait to get my booty home and finish up my laundry. A big update is coming up for you all! I've missed blogging and I hope to get better at this. </div>

December was a busy month for us but just when I say that, I think back and don't remember doing too much but we did spend a lot of time together, as a family. That is the most perfect thing to me! There are several things we are changing up for our family, all for the better and I honestly couldn't be prouder of J. He's really just blown my socks off with his changes and I will talk all about them another time. Back to December... the rest are pictures so enjoy! Sorry if you follow me on instagram, they are more than likely the same pics!<br />

J and I have an inside joke about having a coffee maker at the house. I don't drink coffee and he LOVES coffee. Well, I got him a few big gifts this year and could not think of something small for him. So, I decided to break down and get him a coffee maker. I got a super cheap one but I swear it is his favorite gift yet. He is allowed to have coffee now, whenever he wants. Plus, I do love the way it makes my kitchen smell. :) </div>

We had the pleasure of spending Thanksgiving in Georgia with my family, my WHOLE family! It was a nice time and we SSOOO enjoyed getting to visit with my Dad, brother, Grandmother and tons of cousins, second cousins & friends! It is always a great time and fills my soul up each time we get together. My family is FAR from perfect, but it is perfect to me. I wouldn't change a thing about them. </div>

The Christmas Spirit comes and goes for me this year. I find myself having to force myself to get into the spirit. A lot of it has to do with my own demons in my head. I've had a hard time lately with my family, missing them all so much. I think the older I get, the more problems I've had in my life that I've never dealt with and that's what I'm doing now. Trying to cling to the Word but also in a very dry spiritual way right now. Having a husband that is beyond supportive and always seems to love on me extra and send me encouraging words throughout the day helps. It helps more than he would ever know, especially because I don't tell him often about being upset about certain topics. He just knows and having a spouse like that is just plain awesome. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Christmas is less that 2 weeks away and I can't even believe it guys. My shopping is pretty much done, which is great but the stresses of life don't stop just because it's Christmas time. Westin has been going to bed around 6:30 this week because he is such a handful in the evenings. He is starting the terrible two's a little early and it is best for everyone involved to make sure he is in bed early. I think him being so tired is causing his crankiness. It has helped and he is still sleeping in until about 7am. Sleepy boy & happy Mommy!!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I need to get out of the house on the weekends more. Drive around and look at Christmas lights. I think Friday night we all are going to hop in J's truck and look at lights. A friend of mine's father lives on some land out in the country where we take our country drives and I want to drive by his house to see their lights. I think that will get me in the spirit more. Each year we go to the Collierville Square and eat dinner at the Silver Caboose. Then we will take pictures at square with the lights. I truly love this time of the year but I'm feeling lazy and guilty for not making tons of memories and our own traditions for our kids. It's time that I get over my negative thoughts and just enjoy this time of the year with my sweet husband and awesome kids! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Please pray for me. It would really help a lot and I need to snap out of my guilts and negative thoughts. </div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
Love you all! </div>

I hope your having a fabulous Thursday!! </div>

This past weekend Mom came in town and we had such a great time. We didn't do too much but we are on a constant busy schedule so there were many things to do. </div>

Friday night J and I went to dinner and bowling with some sweet friends, minus kids. You always have friends that are like family and the Moore's are that to us. J and Jason grew up together so we all are like a bunch of kids when we get together. Having dinner and spending time together without kids running around / pulling on your legs was SO MUCH FUN!!!!</div>

1. Every morning before Daddy leaves for work he will go get Westin out of bed and bring him in our bedroom so he can watch cartoons, drink his milk and be with me while I'm getting ready. Westin was still asleep this morning so Daddy didn't go get him, Westin heard Daddy shutting the garage door to go outside and he healed out from his bed "DA-DA" He was upset his Daddy left without getting him out of the bed. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
2. Every single time you give the child food or his drink cup, he politely says: "tank you" It melts my heart into a million pieces. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
3. At dinner Sunday night we kept hearing him say "nana". Well my Grandmother is called Nanny but we haven't seen her in a few weeks so I was really blown away by him saying that... then it hit me, I bet he wants a banana so I went to grab half of a banana and he just about jumped out of his seat with excitement and ate the whole banana. Such a smart boy for telling me what he wants! :) </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
4. When he is playing with his big brothers, he always walks/runs a certain way. He is walking or running in full force with his arms behind his back to help him run faster. He looks like superman and it is so hilarious to us!!! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
5. Back in July, Will and Luke had swim lessons and each afternoon Westin and I would watch them. Well ever since then he likes to "swim" in the bath tub. It is the funniest thing to me, he will fall on his belly and pretend he is swimming, all while looking back at us to make sure we are watching. Definitely a show off! :) </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
6. The words he says are: mama, dada, bubba, tank you, dis (this), nana (banana), no, vroom (when he's playing with cars or trains). </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Westin is just the funniest little thing to us, he is constantly keeping us on our toes and keeping us laughing at the same time. It is really amazing to me how smart he is and he picks things up very fast. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I hope you all are having a blessed Wednesday! </div>

<ul>
<li><div align="center">
I can't believe August is ending and September is just a few days away. It makes me happy and sad all at the same time. I love summertime but I also love fall. Summertime is so much fun with vacationing and going to the pool with the family. Our schedule is usually very laid back during summer which I love but then again when school starts back I'm always eager to get back into a routine. Football starts in 2 days and my household full of boys is SO EXCITED!! (Hotty Toddy!)</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div align="center">
</div>
<ul>
<li><div align="center">
I'm looking forward to the boys football games, practices (which started full force last week), school work, festivals, pumpkins, the fair, fair food, the leaves changing, cool crisp air on my morning drive into work and time with family / friends! </div>
</li>
</ul>
<div align="center">
</div>
<ul>
<li><div align="center">
All of this being said we have many fun things to look forward too, so why have I been so depressed? I'm the type of person that is easy to fall into a depression. I don't know why? I always tend to have a pity party for myself when things aren't panning out the way I want them too. Right now we needs prayers for two very serious situations in our lives. It involves our jobs, both of them!! Transitions are happening at a rapid pace (even at times not fast enough for us) and we need prayers to handle it all. My first and #1 job is my children and husband but I do need to work and love my job as well. We are both in a unique situation, my prayer is in the Lord that He will work it all out for us. We should not worry but I do. A lot!</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div align="center">
</div>
<ul>
<li><div align="center">
I can say though, for the first time in our marriage that even though times are hard right now with changes happening J and I are the closest we've ever been. It really is amazing how far we have come but we just keep on trucking along this crazy ride of life, together, each night together and not having to worry about my marriage is such an awesome thing right now. There have been times that when stressful situations arise, we take them out on each other.... I'm so happy we have matured and grown from those days.... now we handle these situations together, like husband and wife are meant to do. That is completely a "God thing" and he has really molded our marriage into something I never dreamed it could be. </div>

I've been really surprised by some of the comments on the whole Miley Cyrus VMA awards situation. I only watched the Justin Timberlake performance, which was fabulous by the way but J and I literally just turned it on for 20 minutes to watch him perform then we turned it back to another show we were watching... Mountain Men, I think. I guess I'm shocked by all of the opinions because it really isn't any of my business. I did watch the you tube video of it last night and if she wants to get on stage and act in away I would never act well that is her business, not mine. My kids were already in bed but even if they were awake I wouldn't allow them to watch the VMA awards and it shocks me that parents are mad about her acting that way while their kids were watching... well, why were your kids up watching that with you in the first place... it is the VMA music awards (MTV) what do you expect? I pray for Miley and hope she can find peace and comfort in other things, not the fame she is currently all caught up in. </div>

Will and Luke need a hair cut so bad but do y'all ever put that off until you absolutely have to get it done? I guess this weekend that is something we need to do. I'm looking forward to the Labor Day weekend. We have things going on each and every night this week so this weekend could not come at a better time. I'm really hoping my Mom will come in town this weekend so we can spend some time with her, I really have been missing my Momma lately!! :) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Mom and Grandmother came in town to pick the boys up for a week and take them back down to Georgia. They had a blast, we missed them but we did enjoy time with just Westin running around. While Nanny was in town we went to the square to have lunch and let the boys play around on the trains. Currently their favorite thing to and I hope it never ends!!! </div>

<ul>
<li>Yesterday we registered Will and Luke for school. It starts on Monday and I have bittersweet emotions about them starting. On one hand I am so looking forward to a routine and bedtime to start much earlier but on the other hand summer has been so much fun and easy! I hate to see it end. I also hate to see them going somewhere for hours and days on end BUT it will be good for all! </li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Westin has a cough and cold. Summertime colds are NO FUN especially in a spunky, independent, honory, strong willed 15 month old. He is a little firecracker and is much worse when he's not feeling the best. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>A few weeks ago I went to an It Works wrap party with a bunch of childhood friends. It was a lot of fun and with my belly in need of some help I got my belly wrapped. I slept in the wrap over night which was painless and when I woke up I couldn't believe the results I had over night. I was very skeptical at first but when I saw my stretch marks are virtually gone and my waist was down a few inches I couldn't believe it! So, I signed up as a distributor for It Works and so far I can't believe the opportunity it has given me!! Check out my website and let me know if you have any questions!! <a href="https://wrappinwithkatie.myitworks.com/">https://wrappinwithkatie.myitworks.com</a></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>I have a family friend that went to be with the Lord today, she was 88 years old. I ask for your prayers for my family members who were very close to her. She was such a sweet lady and old age just caught up to her. She didn't get sick, she was just ready to go home. This part of life is unfair, selfishly because I do know she is in a better place but her presence here on earth will be greatly missed!</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Wednesday to all! I pray you are all having a blessed day!! </div>
