T-BALL!

Its finally here! I think Ive been waiting T-Ball season to start before Jackson was even born. I pictured him with his cleats, glove and little hat.. Now its finally happening!

Most people know that I played softball through college and Ive also spent the last few years coaching a local high school team. Jackson's dad also played baseball in college, so to say that there are....ahem....certain expectations, would be an understatement.

I have done my best to bite my lip when watching practices and when I don't agree with the coach. Its just sooooooo hard! Jackson has been playing Second Base and Short Stop which is awesome! I don't think I could handle him being a pitcher. He loves going to practice and so far has done great in his first game.

I'm pretty sure I'll be watching him play for the next 17 years.. I cant wait!

Starting Fresh

I've decided to start this little piece of my world back up again. I dont exactly know what this blog will be for but I might as well jump right in!

How about an update?

-Jackson is now 5! How did that happen? I cant even wrap my brain around it. He will start kindergarten in August and is super excited. Everyday this kid says something so funny, and honest. He just amazes me. He is a creature of habit and everything must be in its place. He just started t-ball and loves anything Star Wars or Batman related. He is very into the bible and we read it every night. He also asks a minimum or 100 questions a day. Thankfully they are still pretty easy to answer. Jackson loves everyone and isn't shy, he is such a good big brother too. He is always so patient with Ben and loves to make Ben laugh and laugh.

-Lets discuss the red head shall we? Benjamin Wilson is C-R-A-Z-Y! Benny, Boo Boo, Ben, and Benja, are the names we usually call him. I have never been around such a fearless child. He is independent, strong-willed, and usually gets his way. He has a way of just wrapping everyone he comes into contact with around his tiny little finger. I cant take him anywhere without someone stopping us and making a comment about his hair. It is such a beautiful color and I still have no idea where it comes from. He loves any and all animals and babies. For Christmas I got him a cat and Ben and Cattie are BFF's.

Benny loves talking talking talking and has an awesome French accent. He is really into throwing things and just the other night said 'I love you.' I am so thankful for this little guy. He is so funny and a total lover. -In the last year we have moved about 20 minutes away from our old home and now live in a beautiful new home in a gated community. There is a club house and a pool, that we don't have to take care of! The boys love it. - I also went back to work. I'm a recruiter for a large staffing company and really enjoy my work. The boys have both adjusted well and so have I thankfully. I can honestly say that life at this point is one happy day at a time. I promise to update more from now on!

He's Here!

Soooo I suck at blogging. But who cares? Baby pictures make it all better!
Benjamin was born on July 5th at 7:58 am. He weighed 8 lbs 7 oz and is getting bigger everyday.

My water broke around 8:30 pm on the 4th, I went to the hospital about an hour later and it was on. I had a horrible delivery with my first little boy so I had been praying this entire pregnancy for a smoother delivery. God works in mysterious ways. This birth was so amazing. I had an awesome nurse, doctor, and 3 awesome coaches.

Ben is such a sweet baby. He looks exactly like Jackson except for his flaming RED hair, we have no idea where that came from.

Hope all is well with you!

Well Hello There...

Okay its been forever. This is just a quick update, here goes nothing....

-I am now 6.75 months pregnant. Woo Hoo!! I stopped throwing up about 2 weeks ago and feel great. With Jackson I threw up the entire time... even during labor. Ugh!! :)

- I am still coaching softball and will be for another month or so.. I love the girls but the long drive and even longer hours are starting to make me complain a lot..

-Jackson turned 3 on March 8th and is doing well. He starts Pre-school in June and is super excited. Its only a few days a week, but I am going to miss my little sidekick.

- Baby Boy #2 will be here sometme in July. I still can't commit to a name, there are only two names that I really love so I think I'll just wait until he gets here and then decide.

- I am going to see No Doubt in May and Dave Matthews in August. I am pumped!!

-My hair will be blonde again on May 11th. I can't wait!! I dont know what I was thinking with this dark brown...

I think that's everything for now. Hope all is well with my handful of readers!!!

Peace Out 2008!!

I am a horrible blogger. It's been 3 months! Life has been super busy around here, the holidays have come and gone and now life can finally get back to normal. Kinda....

In October we learned that we are expecting baby number 2. While I am super excited to hold, love on, and sniff another child that looks exactly like my gorgeous husband, I'm not so excited about the all day sickness that comes along with such a gift. I have been fighting through it pretty well, some days are better than others.

Jackson will be 3 in March and he is pretty much the smartest kid I've ever met. He is so funny and witty and loving. He is constantly telling me that he loves me and how pretty I am. How did I get so lucky? He knows his ABC's and most numbers from 1-20. His language skills are out of control and he remembers EVERYTHING..This is not always a good thing. He loves pretty much any port and has recently become interested in cars and trains.

That's all for now.. I promise to update more often...Really.

Seems like just yesterday...

Today is my husband Josh and I's 5th wedding anniversary.. I hate to get all mushy on you, but I am so truly blessed. Eveyday he does something that makes me love him even more.
