36, 11, 17, 10, 2, 1, 2, 27

Well hi everyone!!! I have been so super, crazy, over the top, B-U-S-Y!!!!!!! The title is all of the numbers that have been floating in my head the past couple of days so I thought why not make it a title out of it!! Anyways here are the reasons for the numbers;

36= I am offically 36 weeks pregnant!!! I'm so very blessed to get to this week, and even more blessed to get to next week, it means full term!! But in no means am I pushing the little man out, just glad to breathe a tad more. I have had such a very very very easy pregnancy, sometimes it makes me think, am I going to have a hard labor????? Hopefully not, all good thoughts please come my way!

side view....


and this is my view looking down to see my Maddie, cracked me up!


11= This is how many years my hubby and I have OFFICALLY been together. We have been together since my senior year in highschool, I can't believe how fast the time goes....... I am such a lucky lady to have this man in my life, he truly is my best friend, the best husband, and the best father anyone can ask for, and soon we will be celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary!

I don't have any really old pictures of us, but this was taken before any children!


17= This number is how many months old our Madison is now, she is such a fun little girl, but I'll tell you..... I feel like those terrible 2's are coming around the corner and FULL BLAST ahhhhhh, I'm sure we will get through it....

Too cute in her bows....


Being silly at Vera's house


Big blue eyes


10= Madison now has 10 teeth! The more to eat steak better ;)

She has 4 on top, 2 on bottom, and 2 molars on top, and 2 molars on bottom


2= I just helped put together a great bridal shower for my first bride Lacey, it came out beautiful!!! And the second one was just this last weekend for my other bride Vera!! It's tough being maid of honor to two wonderful people, but it's so worth it to be such a big part of it!!

Lacey and I in Vivians BEAUTIFUL backyard..... can't wait for the wedding!


Vera at her shower....



1= On top of all of what's going on in my world, I decided why the heck not throw in a yard sale!! So tomorrow we will be having 1 yard sale, but I'm so happy I have decided to do it (even though I'm so very tired!!) I got to do major nesting (FINALLY) and the house feels like it can breathe, and tomorrow hopefully I will get money for all of this stuff!! Now I'm on a shopping spree for brand new plates........ any thoughts???


2= Another 2!! I have a wedding to go to, tonight, and then next Saturday is LACEY's AND BILLY's WEDDING, I can't believe it's so soon!! Obviously I don't have pictures of these events just yet, but I will post as soon as I do. I have been helping as much as I can with both of these weddings. The one tonight is my very very close friends that have been together for a good 15 years, and offically get to make it legal! I'm so happy for them to have this chance and experience that all of us get to go through. And for Lacey and Billy, I still remember the day she came over to ask me to be her maid of honor (was very shocked and honored!), I was pregnant with Maddie, and now I'll be pregnant with the little man AT HER wedding hahaha.

27= This is a bitter yet so sweet number for me. This is the number of days I "have" left of being prengnat. The bitter part is......this will be my very very very last pregnancy, we decided a loooong time ago that 2 is the best for our family, and the fact we have our BIG girl, and soon our little man we are complete, so yes I am sad we are done, I'm sure a lot of other moms know what I'm saying.... But then I remember the sweet part, to finally hold this little man! To count his fingers and toes, to see what color eyes he has, to feel his soft skin, to smell that baby smell!! To bring him home to his very own room we all worked so hard on, to have his sister hold him for the first time, to have even MORE laughter in this house, to see we all work together as a team, and more importantly be a complete family. I could go on but I think I have bored all of you enough!!

So yes these are the numbers that have been floating around in my world..... This year has been such a roller coaster for me and for my family, and for all of my friends. Lots of good things have happened this year, and I am truly blessed for everything... Sorry for the long blog!!

The little man's room.......

His little homecoming outfit and shoes! Gotta love TARGET!!!!


The pictures





Clothes.................


His crib


His closet, looks like Maddie is trying to figure out what to get into first!


Close up of the bedding



His book case with his stuffed animals


Well this is pretty much his room, just need to put up a couple shelves, and decorate those up, but other wise HERE IT IS!!! I'm very happy with how it came out, I think it's rich looking, and not soooo baby like. Aarin seems to be very pleased with it as well, which of course makes me happy!

Just to talk....

Sorry no new pictures just thought I would write what's going on in my crazy, CRAZY, world. I now have 5 weddings coming up, and all will be done and over with by the end of October (yeah a tad nuts!), and all of them I'm pretty much a big part of, I'm so very happy to help, just hope I can hold up!! I have my 32 weeks of pregnancy coming up this thursday! I constantly see my belly move, with his kicks and punches, I'm so going to miss this part of pregnancy. I can't believe I have less then 9 weeks (or more if he comes late), and we get to meet our little man!! Aarin has finally finished his "man" jobs in the nursery, so now I can tackle it and do all of my "girly" touches, and finally post some good pictures of his room!! I'm still working at the crazy bakery, even though my belly is now offically in the way of everything, especially when it comes to baking all those cookies!!! Our Madison is into learning about everything around her, sometimes I feel like I can't keep up (how sad is that??), but I'm trying, as I type I'm showing her a new puzzle and she is having a blast with it!! She is growing so fast, I'm sure it will go even faster when the little man gets here. Lets see what else....... my twin nephews first birthday was just this weekend, I can't believe it's already been a year! I'm sure there are tons of other things that I'm up to, but honestly my eyes are killing me doing this ;) Hope I didn't bore you all!! NIGHT

Crazy girl!!

Bike-CHECK, phone-CHECK, clothes-??????

Vera's House + Heat + Icecream =

A complete yucky, sticky, but oh soooo fun mess!!

Our little redneck child!!


Well Maddie and I have been invited a couple of times to come check out the fun pool the Rawlings and the Prices have found, but sadly something always came up!! Well we set a FIRM date and we were able to go and the bonus, DAD was able to come!! Maddie had a blast, the kiddie pool was perfect for her! We also got fed from the great cook LOU!! Thank you again for thinking of us, and yes we must do this again!

I chopped it!!

And I think I'm in love!! What do you think???? Just wanted to say thank you very much Sandy!!! But I was thinking.......maybe next time a tad shorter in the back ;)!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me.........

Yes another birthday!! I am now offically the big 2-8, I had such a nice day. Was woken up by my little girl with a gift to get my hair done (yay!!), then my hubby suprised me with a gift to get my nails done (double yay!!) was spoiled to a yummy breakfast with my good friend lacey, got to do some shopping with my mom, then had family over for cake and icecream. Whew, I swear being a year older can wipe you out ;) Thank you to all for the sweet birthday wishes!! OH and the picture, yeah, I know it's kinda sad, but it's the only decent one I could get of actually me and Maddie!!! I'm sure all moms can understand........

Happy Fathers Day...

I just wanted to wish my hubby a very happy fathers day. He is so very good to his little girl, and I'm sure he will be to his little boy too, we are all so very lucky to have this man in our lives!! Your family loves you Aarin!!

This is why we chose a doberman.......

She's coming Abby!!


And there goes the clothes!!



Shameful!

When we were wanting a puppy we made sure we did some really good research on different dogs, especially family dogs. ALLLLLL of the research that we found kept saying how well dobermans do with children and being very good family dogs. So off we went to find our family puppy! And we did, ABBY!!! Which I'm sure all of you are aware of, if not, well now you are!! Anyways, one night I was watching Maddie and Abby (just so you know they are total best friends), and I noticed Maddie was playing with soon to be baby brother's clothes........ but she thought it was a great time to throw them on the poor dog!! I even had to giggle, and the best part of it all, Abby just laid there the entire time, wagging her little tail :) such a cute moment!! I'm truly happy we did our research and found the perfect dog for our little girl, and soon to be little man.... ok sorry for the novel just had the urge to write!!

Try not to fall in love!!!

My mom just got a brand new puppy, her name is cricket!! She is so flippin cute! Anyways HAPPY MONDAY!

F-I-N-A-L-L-Y-!-!

awww my hubby.....

This picture cracked me up!! Look at Maddie's feet go!!





Aarins Family

Well I finally did it!! I actually got a diploma!! I just wanted to thank everyone for all of their love and support, and even listening to my whining when it got rough at times!! Thank you to everyone who was able to sit in the cold and a tad wet stands to just cheer me on, all of you will be in my hearts for that memory!! Much love to you all..............
