Weekend Recap

Joey and I have said over and over how great our weekend was. It was honestly one of the best weekends we can recall in a long time and I think it's because we didn't have any major plans and just kind of went along with whatever came our way. Sadly (for me) I didn't have my phone with me the entire time so I don't have a ton of pictures (also probably another reason I enjoyed the weekend so much) so many of them included in this post are from my mom or Joey.

Friday our office closed early so I picked B up from daycare and we spent the evening (+ Joey) at my Mom's house. Beckett finally let my step dad and brother take him for a ride (or 100) around the yard on the lawnmower and he thought is was the greatest thing ever.

Saturday we had a water play date with my friend Jordan's family. Beckett and her little girl Reagan love each other and had such a fun time playing in the water and wresting/loving all over each other after dinner. Joey grilled some steak kabobs and they were yummy!

Sunday we didn't have any plans to speak of. My mom called and asked if we wanted to take a picnic somewhere so we decided to all pack up and go to Watauga Lake for something a little different. We enjoyed lunch, skipping rocks, and watching the boats go by.

Joey's cousin was camping in a park near our house and invited us to come by for dinner so we went and it was another really great time with family while B got to play with lots of kiddos. We ended the night with sno balls (thanks to driving by and seeing my family there on our way home). It was the perfect way to end the fun day.

Monday we let Beckett play in the water in our backyard again and just spent the day hanging out at home. While Beckett napped Joey and I enjoyed some rare time together sitting on the back patio chatting (mostly about our disbelief that we'll have another baby in 2 weeks!). We got a little ancy being at home so we got in the car and B requested we go see NeNe (my mom) but they were headed to see my stepdad's parents. We ended up going too and B got to ride the 4-wheelers with Tanner and Grumps, which was another highlight of his weekend, I'm sure. :-)

We're on the final countdown to Baby #2 so soaking up this sweet family time with our #1 was the best! We don't usually have weekends off together, much less holidays, so it was a real treat to not have to schedule our weekend around Joey having to work. It was such a great way to kick-off summer and we're looking forward to many more fun days and evenings to come!

Lincoln - 1 Year

It's hard to believe that our precious baby boy is 1. He still seems like such a baby to us, so much smaller than B was at this age (unless our memories have completely failed us). The day he was born was perfection. It will always be one of my most favorite days ever.  We had very few visitors, at our request (of course big brother had to be there!) and were able to enjoy the full day together since the scheduled c section was early in the morning. It was the sweetest day and I'll never forget how special his birthday was or how happy I felt to have another sweet baby boy to love. The first year went a little differently than B's first year. We didn't co-sleep after 1 month, we only made it to 10 months breastfeeding because of the 3rd pregnancy/miscarriage (which is still a major accomplishment but B went 15 months so of course I had guilt over that), we had a TIME trying to get him to sleep at night. Weight: 21.4 lbs, Length: 29.5" [caption id="attachment_4...

Baby #2 - Sharing the news

After trying for baby #2 for several months, we were thrilled to find out in October that we'd be welcoming a new baby in 2016! Since we knew exactly how far along I was this time (we had no clue with Beckett, I was about 7 weeks along and had no clue until my doctor had me take a test at his office before prescribing me fertility drugs) we knew we'd wait a few weeks before we shared the news. We decided that since I'd be 11 weeks on Thanksgiving we'd share the news with our families at our dinners. We had the first one on Wednesday evening and it was such a relief to finally start sharing the news. After dinner we went over to my mom's house to share the news with them since our dinner with them wouldn't be until the next evening. I'd made a cute craft with Beckett to make it a little more special for them. [caption id="attachment_512" align="alignnone" width="2787"] The boxes lifted up and under them it said (1) I'm going...

Lincoln Asher - 11 Months

I just can't say enough how sweet this baby is! However, he sure does give us a run for our money sometimes. He is into EVERYTHING these days. Our stacked stone fireplace = his favorite spot to mess around (inside the fireplace!) by getting the rocks out. You should see the grin on his face when he gets a rock and knows he's not supposed to have it. He will hike his little leg up like he's going to try to crawl on it and when we tell him no he will grin and start shaking his head no. He is rotten to the core. Sometimes I don't think I can handle another one after him. He wears us OUT!! haha Weight: 22lbs He's a professional crawler now. I love hearing his little hands smacking across the floor. He loves to eat. He will eat and eat and eat with no end in sight. He'll tear everything off the table in a restaurant in order to get to the bread. :-D He loves rolls, biscuits, bananas, and Popsicles, in addition to his baby food and formula. He's not a fan of...
