Another Must Have....


How cute is this?!?!?! It is now added to my list:)! I am a huge ring sling fan, HUGE! I have to admit that the moby has its place too:)! I use baby carriers a ton it never hurts to have a couple on stand by. Hard to believe this will be my fourth little kangaroo to carry, it all started almost 5 years ago! The fabric for my diaper bag and sling is retro owls so this is a perfect match! I am loving all the retro owl stuff, reminds me of my Granny Nina. She had an owl jeweled purse:)! She was ahead of her time!

29 WEEKS!

Hello third trimester!! I am on the down hill slide now, too bad I feel like this pregnancy has slowed to a crawl! I am ready ready READY! Not because I am uncomfortable or anything, I feel awesome, I just was to hold him and kiss his sweet face! I am very much enjoying this pregnancy, every single kick, punch, and bump I am so grateful for. As mentioned in the previous post I got some seriously cool baby gear for Christmas, or Hollister did I should say:). Now we just need the matching swing, hint hint Joshua:)! Also, a My Ride 65 for him and we should be set! I am waiting to see if our one size fits all cloth diapers are in face one size fits all. I plan on using cloth diapers exclusively. NeNa is making a matching diaper bag and sling out of super cute fabric I found! Yes, I just got a new sewing machine but I have no clue how to use it:)! I have decided to not go all out in the nursery, I will use G's bedding. I am planing on going all out on bedrooms soon! Lovin Pottery Barn's shared spaces! I will for sure find cheaper alternatives however:)!
We are going to do a 4D ultrasound. I am super excited. I think the pics are a bit weird and for the most part look nothing like the newborn BUT I need another peek at him! I will have a growth scan somewhere around 36 weeks but can't wait that long:)! I have a check up next week and will schedule it then. I will also start seeing the doctor every two weeks! Hopefully that help things seem like they are moving along!
Belly Pics soon:)!

Christmas with Pop & NeNa!

After opening our gifts on Christmas morning we loaded up and headed out to my parents. The kids were so ready to see them! It is a quick three hour drive;). After arriving and getting the kiddos settled Josh and I headed out for our gift, two nights AWAY! We rented a hotel room and just drove back for Christmas celebrations. It was fabulous and not near long enough! We have decided that it will for sure become a tradition for our family. The kiddlets did not mind at all and I am positive preferred it:). We celebrated with Granny Brewer and family Sunday lunch. Then Sunday night we opened gifts with Pop & NeNa and the kids got their huge gift a KITTEN! Guice was over the moon excited! Erica came up just to see his reaction it was truly priceless. We thought he was going to cry he was so excited! They are in love with lucky! I also am in love with my new embroidery and sewing machine! I had been super good this year:)! Hollister got two awesome gifts a new bouncy seat and a bassinet! I love them and not sure how NeNa knew just what to get...might have been the 50 emails I sent. HA! We are getting the matching swing too!
I didn't take a single pic and I am still SO mad at myself.....
here are a couple I lifted of the web of H's goodies!!!

Christmas!!!

Josh and I are in total agreement that this was by far our best Christmas! We had a blast this year with the kids. I LOVE that they know the meaning of Christmas! We opened gifts at our home before heading out to Pop & NeNa's. The kids loved everything. EJ's favorite was her GoGo my walkin' pup. Guice got the imaginext Bigfoot remote control monster and I am not sure who likes it more Josh or Guice:). Evergrace loved all the excitement and was running around like a mad man! When she opened her doll she got so excited, she started yelling BABY BABY BABY!
Our Christmas Recap in total random order:)!
Gifts are open!!
E opening her gifts! She was a pro at it!

Christmas Eve Gift!!

This year started out like every other Christmas Eve I can remember. I started super early trying to get all of my family:)! First text went out to Erica at 4 a.m.! I did not get on the facebook bandwagon soon enough and got gifted all over the place! HA! Next year I am all over the social networking sites:)! I have started the tradition with my kiddos, love carrying on family traditions! I told EJ bright and early this morning her response was "Great where's it at?" Of course the post isn't complete without....

CHRISTMAS EVE GIFT!!!

As Good As It Gets....

Sunday before heading out to church I wanted to capture my little darlings in their precious Christmas clothes, courtesy of NeNa. No such luck! HA! E was having none of it! The terrible two's have shown up a bit early. EJ & G were not feeling photogenic that day either...
E is a cutie even in mid fit at least in retrospect:)! Guyboo insisted on wearing his sweater tucked in so you could see his belt....whatever:).

I didn't even get a good shot of the oldest two! I am sure next years will be just as interesting with an 8 month old added to the mix!
