What can I say? I am just going to blame it on having an 8 week old baby and starting work again. That sounds like a reasonable explanation. :)</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I guess another reason I haven't blog is because you can find out what I am doing each day my looking at my 365 Project on Facebook. Back in December, Brad and I decided that we would document 2011 by taking a picture each day of what we are doing and post them in a folder on Facebook. At the end of the year, we will be able to look back at all the things we have done. So...go look on Facebook if you want to know what we have been up to. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I will try to blog later this weekend and catch everyone up on what the Jamesons have been doing for the month of January. No promises though!

Right at 5:50, we walked into the room and immediately the nurses started my IV and hooked me up to the monitors. By 6:20, I was having some pretty strong contractions.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Several hours later...it was time for the epidural! Around 10:00 I started to feel much better! This is a pictures of us after I could smile again. :)</span></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547948900106234866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnH7RUdBoKbvMeJlkzB75dHlLmrB2CZc_Z8bIvvEtfPSSwBOJs5aL-xKPTK57USslwvEjB91y7c40EdBI4P8v9W0Hyn0p3tqii1337wO7pDgUVFM5Fg5G8v5qktGEs_TSrsJWto-vuN-Y/s320/IMG_0837.JPG" /><br /><br /></span><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Around 2:15, my nurse informed me that I was only 6 cm. This news did NOT make me happy! The pressure was starting to be unbearable, and I just remember thinking there is no way I can do this for another 2-3 hours. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">At this time, my nurse also made me flip into a new position to try and get Kinley to face down instead of to the side like she was. Before she left, she told me to let her know if I continued to feel the pressure or if it got a lot stronger. After 2 contractions in this position, I couldn't stand the pressure any longer and had Brad tell her to come back in. When she checked me again, I was at 10 cm and ready to push. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Since I only pushed 4-5 times with Avery, they went ahead and called Dr. Romero. Good thing they did, because 3 pushes later we meet our baby girl at 2:44 in afternoon. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542777900745924626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbojMGSLVXxUm5kIg65kivZjrsRECJNglAkcRVqcK_FXVJ05TXBbjLGNwv6SxKYMx3mUWImoBsSx_ljWMdCFzPiz0RUi8xQIV3W3LWYDjJOMLnuvT3RoHzMDfLJLilBYO8PCulNUJNBKE/s320/IMG_0846.JPG" /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Kinley weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces and measured 20 inches long. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

So many things to do before Piglet arrives, and so VERY LITTLE time left. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Thursday I had a moment when I started to think about my forever long "To Do" list. I know I bring the stress on myself, but I want and strive to be the "perfect" mom, wife, teacher, friend, etc... Sometimes I find myself crying at night because of how tired/worn out I am from the day. Brad actually gets mad at me at times because I won't just "sit down and relax". </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Needless to say, this week got the best of me. Not only have I been wearing myself out at school, but then I have been coming home and doing the same thing here.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Now, I do NOT do things things because I was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">appreciation</span>, but because I AM human, it would be nice every once in a while. This week, I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">definitely</span> have not been feeling like anyone notices/cares about the things I do for others. There hasn't been anything particular where I haven't felt <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">appreciated</span>....it is just I think some people often forget that I AM 9 months pregnant and about to have a baby any day now and even with that, I am STILL running around like my head cut off. I guess to sum everything up, it feels like my thoughts/actions often get overlooked or unnoticed.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">God must have known I was at a breaking point this week because he sent a beautiful reminder down to me. As a walked into my classroom today, I found this sitting on my desk...</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531002662521261714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUf7ywjCL_xwUUM3Cd45bhRlGYWvBa9Y9ZneisR7H2CZwulQjWEubwtv76SvzDH76SCSC78fkFYAbg6i6AGttlmxkost2UqeinABsuXEwXHBbhBJAk7nsj537I12X2LKDyikF9SwJytKY/s320/IMG_9870.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531002671212776610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ0iatWzvEGbIE5zOVQtrwTPkXQicSg_izBa2AjOGVyf4imKsKsZC9ZGd88b7uNJq_ZIpTKyMtAKrIvnVNCxJahaPplgYFPUO8kh44dsBGPRRaTxrc6dCkGMWYweIvZHDRGbKZIHiQ8JA/s320/IMG_9872.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531002655715770178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsnFWPL9uoHgRYrBYkDbHDUdyLuyGmIt8LPLdEQW2FP1feD0g71KjawOMUS-_H-lyuYCE4ECthb0gjTMS3sJNh0GJBFI_KI9SeA5gpKux2hJdFutLsC_uSf3u3J3zph7V4mUzHvurhvTo/s320/IMG_9867.JPG" /></span></div></div></div><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:130%;">Inside the note, she wrote, "Thank you for all you do and for putting up with us. :) I couldn't have asked for a better teacher!" So sweet and EXACTLY what I needed!</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size:130%;">Not only did it make my day (duh!) but it also made me remember why I became a teacher in the first place. Plus, it made me stop and realize that people DO see all my hard work and I AM <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">appreciated</span>. I may not hear it everyday, but that shouldn't matter. As long as I am the best person/Christian I can be, that is all God wants and expects of me. Thank you God for this reminder. You are amazing!!!</span></p><br /><p></p>Raganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359277312101613687noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250882447954236672.post-2945942812842572952010-10-02T19:06:00.000-07:002010-10-17T20:34:40.322-07:00Gone to be with the Lord<span style="font-size:130%;">I have sat down several times to write this post, but I am just now able to actually complete it. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">On this past Thursday, I woke up and noticed Scottie laying in the shower but didn't think anything about it. He would always go in there to lay down probably because it was cold...don't really know why.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">When I turned the water on to take my shower though, he didn't move...even though he was getting wet. This was the first sign that there was something wrong. I picked him up and took him to Rudder's dog bed where he sat throughout my shower. I thought maybe he had eaten something (one of the animals had eaten the leftover pork chop from the dinner we had the night before) and just needed to drink water. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Once Brad got up, I told him there was something wrong with Scottie. He tried to make him walk, but you could tell Scottie just wanted to lay there. We both agreed that we should make an appointment with the vet that afternoon if he wasn't any better by the time we got home from work.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">That was the last time I saw Scottie...</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Since I had a meeting until 4:30, Brad called to tell me he was going home to check on Scottie before picking up Avery from school. A few minutes later, I got a text that read, "call me". I knew then that something was wrong.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">When Brad answered the phone, he informed me that Scottie was with God now and that I should come home. I ran out of school bawling.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Apparently Scottie died soon after we left for work, because he was already stiff. Therefore, Brad said that it was probably better I didn't see him and I agreed. I didn't want my last picture of him to be that. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">After Brad buried him in the backyard, he took me to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Lowes</span> to buy a plant and some stone so we could make a memorial for Scottie. I wanted something that would continue living in his memory. Brad extended the flower bed right outside our bedroom window so that I could see him every day. It is absolutely beautiful. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Here are a few pictures of my sweet baby boy....the way I remember him...</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzLgotsC8tvP3t-kW0dyfTL1t5Qlzc0GTJUSlbsJMTF_EyGUbHiGL0N_-d7i55PY8lOFNCFp4HyjQJGp__f9OyjIRn1Hawo_ha65HEwJgEQdv2BaRZmP7LOGxouwHVCLh1KTbPlUI4Zew/s1600/P2180160.JPG"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529216139207739666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzLgotsC8tvP3t-kW0dyfTL1t5Qlzc0GTJUSlbsJMTF_EyGUbHiGL0N_-d7i55PY8lOFNCFp4HyjQJGp__f9OyjIRn1Hawo_ha65HEwJgEQdv2BaRZmP7LOGxouwHVCLh1KTbPlUI4Zew/s320/P2180160.JPG" /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS4eMZ2IIzrUlKSyCNTSy6TC6sLNSN0scS9_6Ubncgcn7xza8HJ5VBIvKYqIGeqD3kbW2ED-DNmUTBxL6NBBw7haoxiWuslKEOqZxvqkPwdf7YevTE66qXG1HxAe4kbGBfqUxc6vvzR80/s1600/P4060253.JPG"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529216133797868178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS4eMZ2IIzrUlKSyCNTSy6TC6sLNSN0scS9_6Ubncgcn7xza8HJ5VBIvKYqIGeqD3kbW2ED-DNmUTBxL6NBBw7haoxiWuslKEOqZxvqkPwdf7YevTE66qXG1HxAe4kbGBfqUxc6vvzR80/s320/P4060253.JPG" /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnlF-mBwM1HPysVos-ymg3GGr_T6UD25jyB7SANGTXeEo23syRcYyWYBT34x5UotUt3u1oPefXcESa5PnX7PndWdq82VbSmyy8dEujW3PnFl80EnBjRVCGCK0vVQpCWFBIhg9gwPjtybs/s1600/P4060238.JPG"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529209015677357874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnlF-mBwM1HPysVos-ymg3GGr_T6UD25jyB7SANGTXeEo23syRcYyWYBT34x5UotUt3u1oPefXcESa5PnX7PndWdq82VbSmyy8dEujW3PnFl80EnBjRVCGCK0vVQpCWFBIhg9gwPjtybs/s320/P4060238.JPG" /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil3SdTbGFq3baeGAcXfGjEL6d7tPvSdLrXD5i-zZ-jwjaSxCP4u9OWmAKXHPA4Fa9FdGZmopDNafpdFUZtTwBD31dPIBEmwk8PTeLvCoYOlsV4IZy5HKan8RlayWjDAEm1TR9aZL_7_Eo/s1600/P3150222.JPG"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529209007371209106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil3SdTbGFq3baeGAcXfGjEL6d7tPvSdLrXD5i-zZ-jwjaSxCP4u9OWmAKXHPA4Fa9FdGZmopDNafpdFUZtTwBD31dPIBEmwk8PTeLvCoYOlsV4IZy5HKan8RlayWjDAEm1TR9aZL_7_Eo/s320/P3150222.JPG" /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Brad did go to the vet to ask what could have happened and if there was something we could do.

I am thankful that Brad came home early that day (the ONLY day he came home before 7:00 last week) so I didn't have to be the one to find him. I am thankful that God took Scottie quickly and he didn't have to suffer. I am also thankful that I have a wonderful husband that took care of everything because I was in NO shape to even think clearly that day. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">I am still not okay with everything, and I don't think I ever will be. All I can do is to trust in the Lord and look to him for peace.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Scottie was my baby boy.

When we came up with the idea to have a combined sale with some of our friends, it sounded like a great idea. Last night around 11:45, I was second guessing our "grand plan". BUT, after today...I will say that it was ALL worth it!!!</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Today was a HUGE success! We sold a whole bunch of things, and tomorrow we are doing it all over again. Plus, the weather was absolutely gorgeous so it was nice just to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful sunshine. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Garage sales may be a pain in the butt, but TOTALLY worth it! :)</span>Raganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359277312101613687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250882447954236672.post-9211512228009549932010-09-10T15:35:00.000-07:002010-09-11T14:46:33.668-07:00Big Girl Room<span style="font-size:130%;">5 weeks! Thats all there is until I am full-term.... Where does the time go?</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Once this was brought to my attention last week, the tears started to form because I was realizing we had done NOTHING for this baby yet. The swing, clothes, stroller, bottles, bassinet, etc. are all in the attic STILL. So, Brad simple said that we would started bring the stuff down so I could wash/go through it all. Then I started to cry again because where was I going to PUT everything? </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">This is when we decided it was time for Avery to move into her "big girl room". Mommy was trying to put this off as long as possible, but the time had come and Avery was excited! </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Many hours have been spent looking for the right bedspread and room decor in the past few months, but nothing has stood out. So, on Sunday we we sent out to go buy everything, I was worried that we wouldn't find anything...I was right. We drove around to 10 different stores trying to find a cute light pink/purple/teal quilt that would fit a full bed...under $200. Impossible!</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Frustration set in.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Do people not believe toddler sleeping in a full bed? Do they REALLY have to sleep in a twin only? We found PLENTY of quilts that would have worked, but they were twins. And it is not like I could just go online and order the full (like I thought on Sunday night). They don't even MAKE them in a full size. Whats up with that?</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">So, Monday morning I decided that it really wasn't that big of a deal and went back to Kohls were Avery fell in love with "the pink bed". Yep...Avery picked it out. Mommy wasn't too thrilled about the bubble gum pink color, but after shopping all day for a little girl's room I came to the realization that it was a LOT easier to buy pink stuff than to try and find anything in another color.

The whole poo poo thing was a different story. Then she started school a few weeks ago, and she went a little backwards with the whole potty thing. I guess it was hard on her for Mommy to actually be back at work and her go to school every day. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Once they made all the transitions last Monday, Avery was moved up to the "Terrific Twos I" room where she one the one and ONLY girl with 7 other little boys. The director told me that she was thinking about moving Avery up into the "Terrific Twos II" since she was already advanced for her age and it wasn't helping her to be in a room full of "behind" boys. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">So, last Wednesday, Avery moved into the other TT room where she is now with kiddos about 6-9 months older than her. They are all 2, but will turn three sometime before March. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I was a little nervous for her to be with all the older 2's (just because of the potty thing) but I was REALLY happy when I went to pick her up on Wednesday and met her new teacher, Ms. Brittany. She was too funny... She asked me if it was okay if she put Avery's panties on over her pull ups so that she could get used to wearing them. I just started laughing and informed her about how she was ALMOST potty trained before I went back to work and how she has since gone backwards. Ms. Brittany was shocked to hear this, but said "tomorrow is going to be very different then." </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">And it was!</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Thursday I went to pick Avery up and she had been wearing panties ALL day long. The same thing on Friday. She did have a poo poo accident on Friday right when I was picking her up, but was SO upset. She wouldn't stop crying and saying she was sorry. I felt HORRIBLE!</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Needless to say, Mommy is liking this new room/teacher. There is one little girl that is completely potty trained and for right now, Ms. Brittany is working on getting Avery and another girl potty trained. She told me that she likes to focus on 2 kids at a time, and I am SO glad that Avery is one of them...even though she is by far the youngest. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">As of right now, Avery is pretty much potty trained. She went again all day today wearing her panties. She even took a HUGE crap in her potty....all by herself. Daddy and I are so proud! :)</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I am so sorry for this long post...all about poo poo and tee tee. But, when you have a two year old, this is pretty exciting!!!</span>Raganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359277312101613687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250882447954236672.post-76222226907275742182010-08-22T18:56:00.000-07:002010-08-22T20:17:43.486-07:00"Lead Me"<span style="font-size:130%;">We are talking about the 7 deadly sins in Bible study right now and today's topic was the sin of lust. One of the questions today was, "In what way is sexual immorality in particular a sin against one's own body?" Now, when I read this I immediately thought of all the obvious answers, but someone brought up a great point. Genesis 2:24 says "For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh." Therefore, after you are married you always have to think about your spouse at all times. You become ONE. One mind, one soul, one with God. When you sin against your own body, you are also sinning against your spouse.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">This got me thinking about marriage and love... </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Even though that exciting, new and lustful feeling at the beginning of a relationship is great, I prefer what I have now with my husband. The sense of security, comfort and passion. We have been together for 7 years and just celebrated our 4th year anniversary and I can honestly say I love Brad more now than ever before. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Of course we have had our hard times, but through everything we have encountered, our love for each other has grown....especially in the past 3 years. Why in the past 3 years? Because that is when we started going to church and putting God first in our lives. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Ever since Brad and I started dating, I would always "push" him to go to church with me. Not that he was against going, he just wasn't excited about it. It wasn't until we found a church home that I started to see him grow spiritually. I am so very proud of the man Brad has become. Whenever I am down, he is the one I can always lean on. He is truly the rock of our family. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">As I was getting ready for bed, I got onto Facebook and one of my coworkers had posted a link to a song called "Lead Me" by Sanctus Real. This song basically sums up everything I have been thinking about today. Take a moment to listen to it...</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">"Lead Me"</span><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqF8pXID-jI&feature=related"><span style="font-size:130%;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqF8pXID-jI&feature=related</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The story behind "Lead Me"...</span><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZg-HrclQPY&feature=related"><span style="font-size:130%;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZg-HrclQPY&feature=related</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">As a wife/mother watching this video, I am sadden by the fact that some men have this feeling of obligation to be the "rock" for their family. As humans, we all go through tough times where we can't be the person we desire to be. Therefore, as a wife I must remember what the book of Genesis says...the man and women become ONE. When the husband can't be strong, the wife must "stand up" and be there for him.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">To all my friends and family members who are wives...remember that you are now ONE with your husband. When he "can't do this alone," be there for him. Be is his support system, be his cheerleader, be the rock that he usually is for you.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">On another note, I just wanted to thank my husband for being so supportive towards me. As I start a new school year full of changes, Brad has been right there beside me cheering me on. Not only has he helped me decorate my classroom, cleaned the house because I have been too busy to do it myself, but he has also taken Avery to school so that I could get a head start on my day at Truitt. These small things I often over look and take for granted because I have become used to our routine/lives together.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">We all have a "wonderful like" just like the song says. So, I also challenge you tonight to stop and appreciate your spouse for everything they DO do for you. Don't focus on the things they do wrong or can improve on. God doesn't, so why should we?</span>Raganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359277312101613687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250882447954236672.post-24195678508767825402010-08-21T13:02:00.000-07:002010-08-21T13:21:57.720-07:00Avery's First Day of School<div><div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Monday might be <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">the </span>first day of school for everyone else, but Avery's was LAST Monday since Mommy had to go back for Work Week.

Basically we just all went up to hang out on the boat, swim in the pool, and play 42/poker into the night. It was a lot of fun to just hang out with our friends without the 100 something (yes I am exaggerating but not by much) kiddos we all have.

It is a really long story, so I will try to make it short. Bascially 5 grown men on a boat together have NO common sense and therefore got the ski rope sucked into the propeller of the boat. Us girls had to come resuce them with the truck and trailer after being stranded in the middle of the lake for a while. Yes the boat is just fine (running better than before actually) and no one was hurt.

So one day, I got some scissors and just cut her hair so that it was even. Lately her hair has been growing SO fast, so Mommy and Daddy thought it was time to get her a "real" haircut from a professional.<br /><br />Here she is in the chair waiting for the guy to start. The look on her face says it all. Haha! She wasn't quit sure what was going on...<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490856833757861698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV86ynuJ9ct4XK6K72LkzyBILUATUXQFF3gYQtj9QgA-jSQWZ0cxFwiYt996CAHkDjl9bTb-WjZyZCdSPI6n95ppFB2-UgpLbfQByA2Yuha1GJLYHjOAKIFIOV58xyTcBK-I0OC4eSC9E/s320/IMG_7263.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490856847720526818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrUSmnG63ZyWHjJsNU-5XdMDn0TWm-MO9BsqF7mw2Pt6niOIip6pBIO27cBUl7e7ITb1pjysMuUuPJWqcX1pXzCkwm5Bu4KDWg33kew0AXMb9YMtkjslrzpCgCO2YquXF27eLOMZqi1WE/s320/IMG_7265.JPG" /><br /><br />I think I was more nervous than she was though. I was for sure she would throw a fit and we would have to stop 10 times before the haircut was finished. This was NOT the case. She just sat there like an angel the whole time.

Now, she will tell us BEFORE she has to go as she runs into the bathroom. It is so cute to watch her little face light up when her potty start "singing" to her when she has gone.

If you are a mother...you will understand this simple request! Haha!<br /><br />When Avery woke up Saturday morning at 6:15, Brad jumped out of bed to go get her. Then he made her breakfast and brought me breakfast in bed! I eventually got up to go watch TV with them around 7:30 though. It was very hard for me to just lay in bed while my family was awake. So, around 8:15, Brad told me that he was going to get Avery dressed and take her somewhere so that I could go lay back down for a bit. This is exactly what I did! I really do have the BEST husband in the world!<br /><br />Come 9:45, I finally forced myself out of bed so that I could get dressed for Mayfest. Soon after that, Brad and Avery came home with flowers, an angle for my collection, and the most precious card ever! I almost cried when I read what Brad wrote.<br /><br />Then we were off to Mayfest for a couple of hours. It turned out to be a gorgeous day and we were able to enjoy the celebration of God's work at the church. Avery became very tired though, so we had to leave to come home for nap time. <br /><br />Just a few minutes after Avery went down for her nap, I see two people walking up to the door. It was Carla and Lauren!!! They decided to drive all the way down from CS to come and spend the day with me! I can't believe that I am so lucky to have the most amazing sister-in-laws ever. They took me to go get some snowcones (my FAVORITE) before coming back to the house to watch a girly Lifetime movie. I absolutely enjoy spending time with them.<br /><br />We all started getting pretty hungry, so I decided we should all go to Willies Icehouse before they left for CS. Even Chelsea and Garett were able to joing us for dinner! <br /><br />Overall, I had an amazing birthday. My caring husband let me sleep in and brought be breakfast in bed, my sisters took time out of their day to make mine special, and my daughter colored me a happy birthday picture. What more could a girl ask for?</span>Raganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359277312101613687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250882447954236672.post-76459144703698936462010-04-07T17:39:00.000-07:002010-04-17T11:13:38.109-07:00Easter 2010<span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-size:130%;" >I am FINALLY posting about Easter...yes I know it was 2 weeks ago, but this has been the only time I have had to sit down for more than 10 minutes to do so.<br /><br />Since Brad and I had the day off on Good Friday, we took that day to clean the house and do the yard so that it would be nice and pretty for Easter. It was a pretty low key day at home.<br /><br />On Saturday morning, we got up and headed to the church for Avery's very first Easter Egg hunt.

The kiddos had so much fun playing while us adults cooked the food. Then it was nap time for both of the little ones. To be honest with you, Ladd went to take a nap in the guest bedroom during this time and the rest of us sat on the couch and watched TV. I wasn't feeling that great so this is EXACTLY what I wanted to do for a few hours. I never did fall asleep, but it was nice to just sit there for a little bit before the kids woke up.<br /><br />The Easter Bunny came while Avery and Greyson were sleeping as well! I know we are bad for doing the Easter Bunny thing in the middle of the afternoon, but we didn't have time before church to do it. The good thing is Avery doesn't know the difference right now!

I wanted to to go back there to visit again and to shop for all of our souvenirs. So, that is exactly what we did on Thursday morning after eating some breakfast.<br /><br />The town was pretty much the same as I remembered it. It was nice to just walk around and enjoy being with my family. We ended up getting a snow glob for me, an elephant for Brad, an Elmo t-shirt for Avery, and shot glasses for her teachers at school. Plus, we HAD to get these amazing soft pretzels at this little bakery in town. They were so good! Thanks Allison for showing us where to stop for a tasty snack!<br /><br />After some more shopping, Mommy and Avery were getting pretty tired so we went back to the condo to rest a little bit. Since Avery slept in Daddy's arms while walking through Brek, she never did take a nap that afternoon. Even though she didn't really sleep, she was still in a good mood. So, we just decided to forget the nap and head back out to the sledding hill one last time before heading back to Texas the next morning.<br /><br />Once there, Brad thought it would be a good idea to send Avery down the hill by herself. Mommy was not too keen on this idea at first, but once I saw how much fun she was having I was okay. She would smile the whole way down and then start crying as soon as the sled would stop.

It took us a while to decide what type of wine to get and what we should put on all the labels. The time we spent was well worth it though. They turned out WONDERFUL!!!! Thank you so much Allison for doing that for us! You are the BEST!<br /><br />As Allison was finishing up downstairs (their condo is right above one of the wineries they own) Brad and I headed upstairs to get ready for dinner. Taylor and Allison were kind enough to watch Avery for us while we went to dinner by ourselves. It was nice to have dinner with my husband. We got to really talk about the trip and what we liked about it. It was a good way to end the week.<br /><br />After dinner, it was back home to pack and get everything ready for the morning. We had to leave the condo really early to catch our 7:15 flight in Denver. The snow storm that was moving in didn't help the matter either.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Friday Morning<br /><br />The next morning we woke up around 3:15, got dressed and were out the door by 4:00 in the morning....yeah...it sucked! I was glad we left that early though because the snow storm had already started coming in. It took us a lot longer than normal to get to the airport because Taylor had to drive extremely slow the whole where there. I had never seen so much snow coming down before! It felt like I was in the middle of a blizzard!<br /><br />Once we got to the airport, we had to wait in line at security before heading to our terminal. It wasn't long before they started boarding the plane. Around 7:30 the pilot came on and said that we were ready to depart from the gate to head to the "deicing station". Yeah...I never knew that the airplanes had to be deiced before taking off. By this point it was snowing pretty hard in Denver and the whole airplane had to be sprayed with this pink foam stuff in order for all the snow to melt. This took FOREVER! Finally around 8:00 we were up in the air and headed towards Houston.<br /><br />We had a BLAST on our trip to Colorado. So many memories were created and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect trip. Thank you Taylor and Allison for letting us stay with yall. You two are the BEST!!! <br /><br />Now...back to work tomorrow....</span>Raganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359277312101613687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250882447954236672.post-15490913401876416362010-03-20T20:12:00.000-07:002010-03-21T18:55:25.030-07:00Colorado Trip - Wednesday<span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);font-size:130%;" >Wednesday morning Brad and Taylor woke up around 8:15 and headed out to go skiing at A-Basin. Us girls (Allison, Avery and myself) enjoyed eating some breakfast and slowly getting dressed before we headed out to do some SHOPPING! :) There is a really awesome shopping outlet there in Silverthorne that is right behind their condo. <br /><br />Avery didn't make it very long shopping though. After a few stores, she started getting cranky (probably because she NEVER slept the night before...or any other night for that matter...). So, around 12:30 we headed back home to eat some lunch and to put her down for a nap. She ended up sleeping for over two hours! This is normal at home in Texas, but for some reason she wasn't able to sleep all that well when we were up there.<br /><br />After Avery woke up, I wanted to head out to A-Basin to take a few pictures of Brad skiing for the first time.

Around 7:30 they all came over and we enjoyed eating chicken and steak kabobs, corn on the knob and fresh bread before busting out the Pictionary. Of course James and Bethany killed everyone else...but we all had fun. After everyone left around 11:00, it was off to bed! </span>Raganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359277312101613687noreply@blogger.com0
