2013 Wrap-Up and Send-Off!!

Starting 2013 as a family of 3
Baby #2

January-Our annual ski trip took the Fish3 (plus my momma) to Beaver Creek for a long weekend of skiing.  The wintry weather was perfect and Paisley and my mom had a great time playing in the condo while Scott and I hit the slopes.  We had a big secret that we kept a secret all month long!
February-It was a month full of morning sickness and keeping our secret a little longer.  I got to spend Valentine's Day with my two favorite boys.
March-Easter came early this year as well as a dose of warm weather.  We spent some time at the playground and finally let the cat out of the bag.  Baby #2 was on it's way!
April-We hosted our gender reveal party for our family and loved watching the excitement of cutting into a pink cake.
May-We purchased a couple acres of farm land and a brick home.  Scott began renovations.  It was a big undertaking, but the end results were well worth it.  Going forward, I wouldn't recommend moving to a family about to welcome a baby!
June -Reality has set in that we are about to have another baby!  Call it hormones or whatever but I couldn't get enough time with my little boy. I was working 5 days a week but spent every second of free time loving on our little tot.
Loving this boy
July-We spent a lot of our time swimming in Aunt Bunny's pool, playing outside on the deck, and riding the 4 wheeler at the farm.  We made time to visit the fair and Paisley got to see his first tractor pull.
Our new edition
August-This was the BIG month for our family.  A few days before our daughter was born, we officially moved into the new house.  Paisley adapted to it pretty quick, and we were fairly situated before August 9th came.  On the 9th, we welcomed Lila Elizabeth.  8 days later we celebrated Paisley's 2nd birthday.  I even managed to pull off a small family birthday party for him that weekend.
September-My birthday brought me everything I could want, 2 healthy babies and a loving husband.

Halloween!
October-My parents moved out of my childhood home and into the home they have been renovating over the past 9 years.  It was bittersweet but it seems like this is the year of moves and changes!  We took our little babes to Boo at the Zoo and also to a handful of houses for Halloween.  We had the cutest cowboy and pumpkin I ever did see.
November-Our little doll is changing so much and so quickly.  The terribly two's really reared its head this month but nothing we can't work through.  We had a great Thanksgiving and preparation for Christmas.
December-Tis the season to be jolly!  It was month of events with friends and family.  I loved celebrating the birth of Christ with our children and looking forward to the new year.  We sent out 2013 as a family of 4 having pizza and rang in the New Years as parents cuddling on the couch while our children slept peacefully in their bed.  I look forward to the adventures 2014 has in store for us!!

Happy New Year!!

All about the Little Boy

Sometimes I forget this tiny boy isn't even 2 years old.  He shows more love and empathy towards people than those 10x his age.  He'll give a smile and wave to anyone who'll make eye contact with him.  He has a tender spot for the elderly and people in wheelchairs.  At the same time, this is the boy that asked to be put in his baby sisters crib, then peed on her sheets.  He's a tiny little pistol, full of mischief and curiosity, and 100% boy. As we near his 2nd birthday, I can't believe he's been around as long as he has.  I still stare at him in amazement and can't believe he is my baby.  Every day he is spouting new words and bringing up something we did days ago.  His memory is sharp as a tack and if he's heard you say something one time, you better believe that word or phrase is now a part of his vocabulary. He has handled moving to the farm like a pro.  He's always liked coming out here and seeing the barn, tractor, and riding the ...

Marry Me Today and Every Day

Music has the amazing ability to stir up an old memory, put goose bumps on your arms, or maybe even bring a tear to your eye. Recently while driving home from work, I had that very thing happen. I had never heard the song before, but it basically summed up the story of a guy and girl that met in a café. Sounds like the story of a guy named Scott and a girl named Kara to me. Here’s the song; Forever can never be long enough for me Feel like I've had long enough with you Forget the world now we won't let them see But there's one thing left to do Now that the weight has lifted Love has surely shifted my way Marry Me Today and every day Marry Me If I ever get the nerve to say Hello in this cafe Say you will Say you will Together can never be close enough for me Feel like I am close enough to you You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love And you're beautiful Now that the wait is over And love and has finally shown her my ...

My Blue Eyed (little/big) Boy

Hello there little guy So there's this 32 lb. boy that wakes me up each morning.  Typically he goes to his daddy's side of the bed, but if he doesn't feel good or he's had an accident, he'll come to my side.  He typically says something like "The sun is up!" or "Is it time to get up?"  He likes everyone to be out of bed and the blinds to be opened.  This happens between 6:30-7 each morning. He appears with groggy blue eyes that despite showing sleepiness still hold a hint of mischievous.  His hair is a disheveled mess of light brown with a sprinkle of golden hairs that look like spun silk.  His dinosaur jammies are getting shorter on his long legs each day, showing just how quickly this little guy is growing. Snuggles This sweet little boy has eyes that are bigger then his stomach.  He likes to fill his bowl with cereal or oatmeal, but has a hard time eating everything he "thinks" he needs.  He has his picky days where no...
