Before We Were a Family of Five

-



Below are pictures of me while I was carrying Logan and some from my baby showers.

I decided to wait and tell the girls I was pregnant till later in my pregnancy.  I was right around 15 weeks pregnant when we told them and they were overjoyed and excited.  I did a scavenger hunt with clues around the house to tell them the news.  We then went to breakfast that morning with Nana to tell her.

I was blessed to have three baby showers. The first one was given by Mimi, Aunt Amanda and Aunt Miranda and it was mainly family.  It was at the nursing home Nannie lives at. The second shower was given by Nana at her house and it was mainly extended family and long time friends.  Lastly,was my girlfriends shower given by Kim Pearson, Kelly Bailey, Meredith Merrill and Kelly Stepp.  The decorations were buffalo plaid and it was a special shower as well.  We were blessed with so many needed items.

 Josh and I took a trip to Gatlinburg, TN for a weekend getaway. I was pregnant but no one knew it.

Weston is 2 Years’s old & Hurricane Helene

Weston started preschool for the first time in August. We were nervous about him biting other children as he bites an often. He will bite our shoulders when things do lot go his way. He enjoys going to nursery at church and childcare at the YMCA so we were hopeful he would enjoy it. So far he has done great! I did get a notice from the school that he had been bit by another child. I had to read it twice to make sure I read it right but I did. Weston is very outgoing and likes interacting with the people he is around.   Weston still doesn’t use many words but it is increasing at a slow rate.  He can say Mama, Dada, Go, Bubble, Ball, Hello, Up, Hi, and Out.  We have started him in speech therapy.  Weston is starting to be more of a daddy’s boy. He has asked him to rock him to sleep a few times. He loves to be outside especially anytime daddy is outside. We have to make sure the front door has a safety lock on it or he will just walk out the front door when no one is pa...

Boy How Time Flies!

Well I can't believe Addison is 17 months old and Kaitlyn is a few days away from being 2 months old! We are all doing well. Addison is saying more and more words. She pretty much tries to repeat most of the words we say. Josh just keeps saying "She is so much fun". Addison is becoming more of a daddy's girl since I am always nursing Kaitlyn or picking up the house. She says "Dada" much more than "Mama." She now calls my father Papa and my mom Mimi. My father came up this weekend and if any of you know my father, of course, he bought us doughnuts. And Addison definitely knows the word doughnuts due to my dad. I am having to look for winter clothes for Addison so I am on the hunt for cheap winter outfits for her. Clothes are so expensive! Kaitlyn is growing out of all of her newborn size clothes but I keep putting them on her because I know she will never wear these cute outfits ever again. She has started cooing and she smiles a lot. She is sleepin...

1 Year Old Birthday Party

I can't believe Addison is a year old today!! She had a wonderful turnout at her birthday party this past Saturday. I believe there were over 35 people total that came! She got many clothes, toys and socks. We are so thankful for all of her gifts. Tonight Josh and I took her to Cracker Barrell so she could have a pancake on her actual birthday. We sang "Happy Birthday" to her many times today and each time she smiled really big at us while we sang to her. Isn't this sweet! Addison with her aunt Kim. This is 4 generations and Addison was reaching for her aunt Kim. Here she wasn't being shy anymore. This was her personal cake and she wasn't sure if she could touch it. She petted it for a while and finally she ate some after I started feeding it to her. Addison and her very loved uncle Jeff. Notice how content she is in his arms. She also loved the train her uncle Jeff got her. She loved her chair she got from her aunt Nancy. Addison and her great grandm...
