Hello, hello....yep we are still here! I believe my friends forgot to mention how much work 2 kids can be :) It's actually getting a little bit more on a schedule now. Sam is finally giving me a break and is only eating every 3 hours! You have no idea how much a difference an hour makes! He is sleeping 5 to 6 hours at a time at night which I will take. I am still exhausted just from getting up, being a mom, TRYING to keep the house clean. Yesterday I turned 31. Wow first time to actually say and write that down. Anyway, let's just say that if it weren't for facebook, I would have never known it was my birthday! I had a great morning and then we headed to lunch with Brian and then it all went downhill from there. That afternoon after what should have been naps, but nobody slept but for about 30 minutes b/c Sam woke Luke up and he was in a foul mood...you get the idea; we noticed Brian had left his keys in my car from lunch. So we put everyone back in the car and took Brian his keys. Sam decided that he wanted to scream the WHOLE way to Brian's office. I cried in the parking lot when we saw Brian. Sam then cried the WHOLE way back to our house, but then fell asleep in the car with 3 minutes left of the trip, go figure. Thankfully, I have the sweetest and best husband ever, he walked in the door from work with flowers, he took the boys and I went and got a nice relaxing pedicure. When I came home from my pedi, Luke was in bed, Sam was asleep in his swing, and Brian had the table set, candles lit, music playing, and had my favorite, Manicotti. If you are jealous, you should be, because I can go ahead and tell you that I have the best husband who ever lived in this world! So needless to say, he turned my frown upside down :)
Anyway, we are gearing up for the first AUBURN TIGERS FOOTBALL GAME SATURDAY!!! WARRRRR EAGLE! I am so ready for fall! I am oh so very tired of this miserable 100 degree weather! I'm tired of sweating just to get in the car! I am ready for crisp cool air. Yes in about 3 or so months, I am going to be writing on here that I am ready for warm weather b/c I hate freezing weather! I wish it would just stay about 65 spring, fall, and winter, and then about 80 in the summer :) Who asks me though huh? :) We will be back this weekend and hopefully have some cute pictures of my boys in their Auburn stuff! :) Bye for now!

Us Lately.....

Brian's Birthday

Can we say T-I-R-E-D?? I can! :) We have been super busy lately just with life period! It has been fun though somehow. Sam is growing up so fast and is getting more and more personality and I just love it! He coos and awes and just smiles at us and it's the sweetest thing. I had a friend who I use to work with email me and ask me why I didn't warn her how chaotic it was having 2 kids :) I told her nobody warned me either :) Anyway, August is the fun month of birthdays! My mom, brother, Brian, and mine! I love my birthday, always have, always will :) Last weekend Brian's family came into town and Anna, Drew, and Jackson spent a few days with us. We had a lot of fun. On Tuesday, Anna and I went to Montgomery to hang out with MiMi and do what we do best and shop! If you ever want to entertain us, just take us shopping :) Anyway, Luke and Jackson (probably more Luke) had the best time! He was so hyper the whole time it was hilarious. It made me excited about how Luke and Sam will be one day! Thankful for Anna, Brian and I got to go out for his birthday. We went to a restaurant called Avo and it was soooo good! We had the best night sitting outside in a corner with a nice breeze. We just had a great time...it almost felt like we were dating again, but the best part was I got to come back home with him :) Thanks DooDah for taking care of the boys!
I have more pictures to post, but just wanted to check in...the blog is last priority right now, which I hate, but oh well.
I am starting up my Bible Study again tomorrow and I am so excited about it! Until then, be back soon!

2 months......

Happy 2 months to my little Sambo! Such a big boy! Today I got out with just Sam for a few hours and we went shopping! It was great! I can move fast with just one child :) I had already forgotten those days! I wouldn't trade it though! Fun day! Stop growing up so fast! Love you buddy....Oh and today, You smiled at us for the first time....it was the sweetest thing!

SBH....

Loving my little boy right now, my two boys actually. It's getting a little easier day by day, but still crazy! I can't wait until Sam's appt next week to see his stats! He has gotten big lately! I honestly think he is going to be bigger than Luke, but we shall see! He is starting to get a little easier, meaning he will take little longer naps for me so I can actually get something done! I will say SO far I have been successful in getting the boys to sleep at the same time! The best sound in the house these days is no noise! I love a quiet house right now :) The past 2 nights he has slept pretty well. He went almost 7 hours the first stretch and it was awesome! It helps only getting up once in the middle of the night. Luke absolutely loves him, and is so very sweet to him, almost to the point of smothering him :) We are having fun, but we are tired. Brian and I don't really even look at each other and have a conversation until about 8 or so every night! We are just in a crazy phase, but neither one of us would change a thing.
I love my life...God has truly blessed us, and I thank him for that every day. Have a great weekend! :)
