Welcome To The World Waylon Beau

 

My baby sister, Stacey and her husband, Jeremy welcomed their baby boy (Beau) into the world today.  Beau weighed 7lbs 14oz and was 21in long and he has a head full of dark hair!!  Beau was welcomed by a room full of fans waiting for his arrival.  Minus me since I live 9 hours away but I will be there this Monday morning just in time for him to come home.  I am so proud of my sister for being so brave.  They had a c-section due to blood pressure issues and all went well.  I can’t wait to get down there and love on him.

This is Beau being rolled down the hall on his way to the nursery.  Welcome to the world sweet Beau!!

I Can’t Believe It!!

I can hardly believe that my baby is 13 years old today!! Wow what a wild ride she has given me.  Mostly the ride has been great but there have definitely been some bumps in the road during these 13 years.  Victoria has been the biggest challenge that God has given me.  If I make it, it will because God has guided me through. 

Time has just flown by and it just blows my mind that she used to be this small….

 

 

and now she has grown into such a great young lady and we are very proud to be her parents.  Bumps in the road and all!! Happy Birthday Victoria, we love you to the moon and back.

Happy Valentine’s Day

We spent some time this morning making some Valentine’s cupcakes and I have to say it wasn’t to bad.  It was a little challenging trying to get all 3 in the picture while preparing the cupcakes and me holding the camera but I think we managed pretty well.  Hope everyone’s day is filled with love on this Valentine’s Day!!

 

 

Sickness, Snow, Sickness and More Sickness!!

Well the title certainly tells it all when it comes to happenings around our house since the new year has begun!! All of you know that Harrison was in the hospital for almost a week with pneumonia.  Well a few days after he came home he came down with the stomach bug that a few of us had the previous week.  Well, then his mom and dad got the bug a few days later, and then wonders of all wonders we had big snow come in and hubby and Victoria stayed at April’s because it was just easier for the hubby to get to and from work.  Needless to say this is the first time that it has snowed here for 3 days straight and the snow stayed on the ground for a solid 6 days!! Our road was awful and hubby even had to be pulled up a small hill at the end of our road. 

So during these 4 days that I was home alone, not leaving the house, I decide to come down with a sinus infection!! I am still fighting to get over it but am starting to feel somewhat better.  Then Harrison goes back to the doctor on Thursday and you will never guess what our sweet boy was diagnosed with!!!  THE FLU!!!!  yep, so our family has really been through it this year.  The stomach bug went through our whole family, and then Tuff goes to the doctor for his 18 month check up and has a 100.4 fever!!! Go figure!! The doctor said it was ‘viral”!!!!

We are praying that this sickness is finally gone from our family.  Harrison has not been here for 3 weeks and he started coming back this week and we really missed him around here.  Tuff was certainly happy to have him back and they have played so well the past few days.  Also, Ada hasn’t been here but a few days a week since mama was on break from college and didn’t work the week it snowed so we are slowly getting back to our normal routine around here.

Hope everyone is having a blessed and much healthier New Year.

Harry Boy Is Going Home

 

Harrison was released from the hospital tonight and he is back to his sweet, crazy, active, funny, loving self and we thank our Lord for answered prayers!! Thank you all for praying.
