Yesterday was such a beautiful day we took full advantage of it being a family day. We let the boys do some four wheeling and then we all took a ride on the trails around our house. We rode to Lake Robinson. It was pretty funny.. I rode with Chase and Tom and Carleigh rode on the other four wheeler.Hunter now has the dirt bike down pat so it all worked out. Carleigh insisted on her helmet and boots like the boys... only her boots are rain boots.

Daddy's Girl!

Carleigh has Tom so wrapped that it is really unbelievable! She walks around constantly, " Daddy, Daddy". She wants her Daddy to sleep with her and brush her hair. I love it but I do have to remind her every once in a while that I am Daddy's girl too and her comment is, " NO, my Daddy!"

Monster Jam

Well the boys talked me into going with them this year to the monster jam. It was all worth it to see the excitement on their little faces. They had so much fun and Tom and I could not take our eyes off of them. The things a mom does to make her boys happy! Carleigh stayed with Meme and Grandad she said, " I go to monster trucks, no". Thank goodness!!

Carleigh and Uncle Duck

Not only does Carleigh have her Daddy wrapped she also has her way with Uncle Duck. I never thought I would see the day... Tom doing pigtails and Uncle Duck feeding baby dolls and playing kitchen. She already has a way with men... guess I am teaching her well.

Daddy did my hair!

Carleigh insisted on Tom putting ponytails in her hair tonight and this was the outcome. The sad part was he really tried and actually did them twice. Chase told her she looked like she had devil horns. She did not care at all because her DADDY did them!!!!

Desperate for Snow!

The boys were so disappointed this morning to find no snow! Chase was so excited there was ice on the deck because he thought the snow would come after the ice. This is his version of ice skating...leave it to Chase!

Tired Little Girl

Carleigh goes now until she just drops. She fell asleep in the car this weekend and

Tom and I were laughing she was snoring so loud. I guess that is what you get trying to keep up with 2 big brothers! The snoring is her Daddy's genes!

We went today for the ultrasound of the baby's heart...still no name. Everything looked great and they got some really good pictures of his face. He was showing out opening and closing his mouth. Some of you probably do not know what you are looking at but these 3d ultrasounds are really amazing.

Happy New Year!!!!

We had our own little New Year's party with our pajamas and donuts! The kids thought it was great...especially with their hats. Tom and I decided we wouldn't trade spending New Year's at home with them for anything even if everyone did crash by 9o'oclock.

That's My Boys

The boys spent the day with Daddy and Mr. Mike riding their four wheelers and dirt bikes. They had so much fun. They will obviously have a lot of tricks to show their little brother when he gets here!

Merry Christmas

What a Christmas we had! Chase got a four wheeler which solves a lot of the boys fights...thank goodness. The kids were so excited this year and so were Tom and I. They had picked such special gifts for each other and for us. Then to make it all even better Chase was quick to ask why we got presents for Jesus's birthday. Then he wanted to know if Jesus would have a party in heaven or at church. I think he may be our future preacher!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at home with everyone visiting us. The kids were so happy to not be out traveling which made us very happy. The boys spent the day riding four wheelers with their cousin Riley. They had to find the most mud and see how dirty they could get. They were pretty muddy. Carleigh spent the day playing babies with Reese. She got a pair of rain boats from Meme and Grandad and she wore them all day.. even with her Christmas dress.

Hunter's Christmas Party.

Hunter has his Christmas party today at school. I was so excited that is was not called a HOLIDAY party but they actually focused totally around Christmas. I guess it is another good thing about being out here in the country. They had a great party and now we are officially on VACATION!!!

Is this really December?

Saturday was so beautiful that we all took the day to enjoy it. It is hard to believe that Christmas is in a week when the kids were out playing in t shirts. Tom had the week off and so we had plenty of family time to enjoy the weather. WE will miss you next week Daddy!!!

A Weekend Away.

Tom and I got a weekend getaway thanks to Meme and Grandad this weekend. It was much needed. We went to the mountains of Virginia. Tom's Grandmother use to live there and he has always wanted to take me there so we were off... just the 2 of us...well 3 of us. It was beautiful and so relaxing, even if Tom did have to stop on the side of the moutain to play in the snow and ice! He also insisted on a picture of my huge belly! Thanks honey.

Christmas Cards

Well as you can see making pictures of my three is not as easy as it use to be. Everyone will be very lucky if they get a card with their picture this year. Carleigh wants to pose and the boys just want to aggrevate her. Especially Hunter, I think he may take after his Uncle Marc!

HELP US!!!

Ok so you have not been very helpful with the name thing. We need Baby Cole a name. Aunt Julie is the only one who has even given her input...thank you Aunt Julie. Oh and sign your name on the comments because I have no idea who some of these comments are coming from.Love you all!!!

IT"S A BOY!!!!!!!

Tom and I are so excited we cannot stand it!!! It is boy all the way and everything is healthy and good. I guess Tom is going to have to take up a new sport besides hunting unless him and Uncle Marc can build a really big deer stand!

Today is the Day

Ok so at about 9 this morning we will be finding out what the baby is. Tom and I are so excited. It feels like our first baby again. Everybody comment and tell me what you think it is so I can see who is right when I get home! Chase says...boy and I say boy. Carleigh says a "Sisiter" and Tom says a girl. Hunter will not comment so we will see............. All I know is all of you who have baby stuff better send it on over because I have NOTHING baby anymore.
