Happy 4th Everyone!!

They stare at me..

It's the same thing every morning. I get up and eat first thing because my stomach burns. Then it is pill time! i have to take these pills. You know it is the norm... Prenatal vitamins and a few extra. I decided along with the doctor, that I should bump up my vitamins because I am a little older carrying this baby then I was with Jagg. not that much older but about 4 years and let me tell you, I can tell a difference so far! Anyway I digress as I do with these pills. I get them out of the bottle, I set them down and we have a stare down.

All I think to do with them is this....

Ugh I hate these things but I'm thankful to HAVE to take them!

And for your pleasure!

And after this whole post I still haven't' taken them!

well here it is....It's all I have

It's going to be short and sweet. It will be thoughts, it will be stories. It will be from me about us. It is the resurrection of this baby for real this time

Speaking of baby... We are having another one. I'm elated! I forgot how miserable my body feels at first! Digestion, smells, queasiness, It's still early. 6 weeks in fact. I'll take it though!!! Here is our journey! Please enjoy.

A few pictures. They are random but I thought I needed to give you something.

EC and Jagg!!! Besties!

Cam and Jagg! cousins Fo LIFE!

Jagg and his DeeDee!

I've got a new attitude!!

I have now decided that I am not only going to blog about Jagger but I think that I will start adding my thoughts and feelings about.....life!! It's a new attitude. I have a lot to say about life, well my life anyway.

I am at the first time in a while VERY content with my life which as everyone knows means something is going to happen!! hah. Well maybe not. I fell at peace with most areas of my life. My job is going well, I just celebrated my 1 year anniversary there. Jagger is getting past the horrific 3's. Really wasn't sure I was going to survive that one. Brian's biz is picking up a tad. Things are just even for now. The thought and talk about another baby has been happening. There are all kinds of thoughts on that one. On one hand it is nice having Jagger self sufficient but on the other hand he NEEDS a sibling to play with and lean that life is not all about him!!! Only child syndrome has seriously kicked in with him. He talks alot about having a sibling. I kind of have baby fever too!! Well now that that is out there I feel better. it is nice to get that off my chest.

Well as I say that Jagger is more self sufficient he is bugging me to come play so....... gotta go!!
Here are a few pics to tie you over!!

I'm doing it!

I'm doing this for real this time! My last attempt to revive my blog! This is it! I figure with m iPad I might be able to do it regularly!

To start off the revival I will brag about Jagger! I put him to bed last night with undies on. I was tired of buying pull ups and decided that he needed to learn to get up at night to use the potty. I was prepared. New sheet by the door, new undies and jammies. I woke up to him in the bathroom at 1:30 using the potty then he woke at 9:00 dry as a bone! Not sure which was more pumped about the dry night or the late sleeping!!

Way to go jagg! Mom is so proud!

Oops!

I almost forgot I had a blog! Sorry about that faithful readers!! haha!

Here's is a Friday funny..

We were all out the morning playing when I told Brian that I was going to run in an check my email. Well a little bit later I came out and we were playing and Jagger started heading towards the door and looked back at Brian and me and told us he needed to go check his email!

This child is a SPONGE!!!! Scary!!!!! :)

Spring time snap shot

A couple of weekends ago we were lucky enough to get a little piece of spring time. It was so nice. We all woke up and immediatly got dressed and headed outside! We went down to the "ducky water" (Big Spring Park) to feed the ducks and fish. Then off to Costco for a hot dog and then playing with our neighborhood pals!!!

Happy Birthday Granddaddy!

Today is my granddaddy's birthday. He is turning 79!!! He doesn't read my blog but I really love my grandaddy so I thought I would wish a happy birthday in the blog world. This is a sad birthday for him because he is a twin and he lost his brother last year 6 days before their birthday.

He was VERY close to him. It was very neat to see 2 brothers so close. They spoke to each other EVERYDAY at 5:00. I am not kidding. EVERYDAY the phone would either ring at granddaddy's or Uncle Bubbie's house (That's what we called him) and it would be the other brother! SO neat. What made it even cooler that they were twins was that they had an older brother that died when he was 6 months old and then their mother got pregnant with twins! Can you imagine back then, they had no idea you were even having twins. When she was in labor my grandaddy came out and then the doctor said here comes another one and she said "no there's not! And then Uncle Bubbie was born!!! (TRUE STORY) Then the doctor named the second one after himself!! haha! Old days! Gotta love it!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDADDY!!!

How can you help but laugh!

About 3 weeks ago we put Jagg in a big boy bed which was TOTALLY against my better judgement. He was doing fine in his crib but we (Brian) found this cute bed on Craig's list so we bought it and I was just dying to put him in it! I know alot of people say that their child didn't think that they could get out of a bed just like they couldn't get out of their crib! Well NOT Jagg! He was up and out as soon as we put him in. The first night we put him in it we (I) finally decided after an hour of him opening his door and throwing toys out in the hallway that we would put a doorknob guard on it so he can't open the door.

So the other night he was wanting to get out and I heard him talking at the door and this is what I see.......

Oh this child is going to be trip raising!

Friday Funny

I am battling quite the sinus headache. One of those ones that when you bend down, your head feels like it is going to pop off your body! Well I did just that, I bent over to pick something up and as I stood up I said "oh man!" because of the pressure in my head and Jagger was around the corner and I heard him say " Gracious! Oh Man gracious!" What a mocking bird!!!!

Handsome

Jagger's has really started picking up on the things that his dear ole' mom has been saying these days (scary!!)
When I comb his hair I always so "You're so handsome!!"
So now I just say to him "you're so"and his says with a big smile in his sweet little voice that I just want to bottle up "handsome"!!

If you don't want to take my word for it, then see for yourself!

See!! I told you!! HANDSOME!!!

ok fine! the blog is back up.....

This is my last attempt to blog. I will her one more shot! Will you forgive me and read it???

Here is a peace offering!

Dear Blog

I don't know if I like you anymore blog. I am still taking some time to see if I want to be in this relationship.
Here are some pics to buy a little more time, even though the pics are what ail me. They take too long to load!

Rollin' with my hommies...

Our sweet neighbors, who we love and adore, have been gone for about a week and a half and Jagger is really missing Ephraim. However, he has really gotten use to driving E's ride!! We have basically taken it over. It stays parked in our yard but we will return before you get home guys!!! :)

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller.......

Mother's Day

Yesterday was my second Mother's Day and it was great. Jagger got me a beautiful orchid and some of my favorite candy. We went to church and then out to my aunt and uncles for a cook out. It was a fun afternoon just hanging out with the fam.

Oh to Walk a mile in your shoes daddy...

Jagger is obsessed with getting into a pair of shoes not really his but anyones. I thought this was too funny to pass and very sweet at the same time. Just think one day he will most like have size 12 feet like his daddy. Too hard to think about right now!

What are best friends for?

Sharing goldfish crackers while relaxing on the couch.
