Spring fun

Finally some spring weather to enjoy. We went to the Loin's club pancake breakfast then to Garden in the Park. Alexander got his face painted...BATMAN!! He was the hit everywhere we went after this.

The garden party was great it had bounce houses, crafts, snow cones, boiled peanuts and of course the park. It was a fun family day. After we went to the children's consignment sale, not too may goodies but nabbed some transformers PJ's. I had a so so week last week back at work. I did not make it in on Monday or Thursday. I am feeling alot more like myself this week, thank God. Jer and I have a great weekend planned next weekend for our anniversary.......since we spent it in the hospital. We are going to Birmingham. So excited for some relaxing.

Visit from Family

During this last week we had a few visitors. Mia, Grandma, Uncle John and Aunt Sarah came up. It was nice to have them here. Mia when back home on Wednesday and grandma left on Friday after taking me for some much needed pampering.

John and Sarah left this morning. This is us at dinner last night at the Irish Pub...Yummy!


It was nice to have family in the house to take our mind off of all that is going on. But now that it is quite again the reality is starting to set in. Back to normal life tomorrow I am not sure I am ready but I guess it will help to get back. Today has been a little hard, it is real now that the excitement of a new baby is not in our home anymore. I just have to believe that God has a greater plan for our family right now. I am still recovering, I not in near as much pain as I was. Please continue to pray for our family as we continue to life back to normal.

As I am sure most of you heard the wonderful news that Alexander was going to be a big brother (and he will be one day). I was due October 29 I had gone in and had blood work and confirmation done. We could not believe this, if you know our history with Alexander we tried for a LONG time tired different types of meds. We finally found the one that work and now have the most amazing 4 year old ever.

This time...No Meds Required! However last Monday I started doing what they referred to as common spotting. So Tuesday we did blood work hormone levels not as high as they wanted. The spotting got heavier so I requested we do and ultra sound. We couldd not see any baby any where! SCARY. I was scheduled to get my hormone levels back done again and craziness they doubled. This news came just after the Dr told me this was not a normal pregnancy.

She scheduled me another ultra sound with the high quality machine on Friday and still nothing. They could not find the baby anywhere, they check my tubes to rule out a ectopic (pregnancy in the tubes) and nothing. Their findings was that I was maybe not as far along as they had thought. I was scheduled back on Thursday.

Yesterday morning (Jer and I's 8 year anniversary) I woke up and had some HORRIBLE craps we rushed to the ER to only wait (fun). They tested my blood hormone and it had doubled (CRAZY AGAIN) this meant I was likely not miscarrying. So they ordered another ultrasound. The dr said there was alot of fluid(blood) in my abdomen and most likely had a tube rupture due to an ectopic pregnancy. I was scared all I could due is pray, thankfully Jeremy was there every step of the way. Mia arrived not long after the news to pray with us and offer is more peace.

At 12:30 they took me back and did find a bleeding ruptured tube, praise God for the right place, the right time, and the right people.
The OR nurses kept say how pleasant Jer and I were, what a testimony to the pease of God. I am all patched up now and resting. I will be out for the rest of the week resting....and again our faith comes in knowing my God shall supply all you needs.

We were home sweet home by 4:30 and just a little bit after that Grandma got here. What a wonderful Godly support system we have. Thank you all for your prayers we love you all.

My BIG 4 year old

While in Gainsville a couple of weeks ago we got Alexander's pictures done. How sweet is this little boy!

I think this one is my favorite!



Alexander is funny these days....or at least he thinks so!

He changes his favorite color everyday.

He tells me all the time I have never done this before, (whatever it is we are doing, going to the park, movies, ect) and I will tell him yes you have.....he will say no mom not since I was 4.....drives me nuts.

He has his next 3 birthdays planed out....yesterday he got an Airhead at walmart and told me he wanted an airhead party.

He loves school and going to the gym, he really just wants to be with his friends and play.

One of his favorite thing to do is to run and hide whenever Jeremy gets home so he will have to find him. Funny thing is it is always the same hiding place.

18 hours on the road but so worth it.

Last weekend Alexander and I spent 18 hours on the road, driving from Alabama to Jacksonville, Jacksonville to Haines City, Haines City to Gainesville then to Lake City then HOME!!!

Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for coming and getting me and Alexander and spending the weekend with us!!

While it Gainesville we celebrated Beckett's 3rd birthday......Alexander was ALL ABOARD for the train that was there. Great idea!!



Then on Sunday we got to go to baby Elin's Dedication. What a great time for all the family to be together to stand behind Kristy and Zach as the give their sweet baby back to God.

A couple of weeks ago when we were visiting Mia and Papi's we stopped to look at a train.....It was cool!!

Valentine's Party at school....Alexander's Valentine box, he colored and cut out the hearts all by himself!



Playing Musical Chairs


Today was a beautiful day, we decided to go to the park and have some fun. While we were there Alexander found 3 of his friends from school.

Swinging on the tire swing.....I love that little dimple!

My Valentine

I cannot believe this will be the 11th valentine's day I have got to spend with the most amazing man in the world. I am so thankful for him. I know God placed us together and has great things in store for us. I love you babe and cannot wait to spend another valentine's day with you!

Big Green Bus

For a while now I have been meaning to get pictures of Alexander on the big green bus. It comes to our school once a week and as a teacher I get a 1/2 price discount. Alexander LOVES it.

It is a school bus that has be completely gutted and turned into a gym. There is everything from a zip line to a rock wall. What a great idea......why didn't I think of it!!!

Lost Christmas

Here are a few Christmas pictures that were on my old Camera that does not work anymore. Alexander and I went to the Opelika parade, he thought it was great.

Then down town had a Christmas celebration, Santa and the Mrs was there.

The 3 of us the the train riding through down town.

Fun in Bama!

Alexander, Beckett and Evie at Mellow Mushroom waiting for pizza.



No matter where Kristy, Debbie and I end up we always find amazing deals.....a little garbage bag full of our thrift finds.

Alexander learning to skate.

For Jer's birthday some friends of ours came over....after dinner we put the kids in the tub together to play.

Jer's Birthday

We went to see Mia and Papi MLK weekend along with Aunt Kristy, Evie, Beckett and Elin. We went out for Jer's birthday....singing happy birthday.



Ice cream!

What another cake.....yep and before it is over there will be one more. Jer blowing out those 32 bright ones.....looks like Alexander helped.

Tell me this is not the sweetest pic ever. Alexander wanted to hold baby Elin so bad, he was such a big boy holding her.

National Champs!!

A couple of weeks ago we had an ice storm....it was bad enough they closed the school for 2 days. I think this is such a cool pic, our entire mail box was covered.

Good thing everything was closed on that Monday because the night before Auburn won the National Championship. What a great victory!! Jeremy at Tomers doing some rolling!!

On Saturday for Jer's birthday they had a pep rally at the stadium. It was mine and Alexander's 1st time at the stadium.

WAAAAAAAR EAGLE HEY!!

What a DAY!!

Ever felt this way?

That was my day today. Work has been a little crazy for me. Five of my oldest, potty trained, cleaners moved up and I got 7 new, young, untrained crazy children. Yep you did the math I had 21 kids and now I have 23!

Capacity for my room is 21 and I have had to argue with my director all day about taking the other 2 kids out of my room. So now it is like working with and for kids.

I have as part of my resolutions for the new year decided to go Meds free. I have been on Depression/Anxiety Meds for a full year now and feel like it is time go off them. I have done pretty good, last week I 1/2 my dose and then this week off completely. I have really only had some dizziness...now if you asked Jeremy he might have something else to say.

I am just praying that the rest of these transition go well!

My sweet baby boy is 4.

At this moment I could not have even imagined what my life would hold.
