Cole's Newdo..

I think that most of you have seen Cole with his new hair cut. Pretty sad that I had to give my baby a haircut at 4 months old. I really didn't want to cut it but it was crazy long and after we saw some pictures of us in Charleston we finally realized that he needed a haircut!! I really didn't want to take my 4 month old baby some where to get his hair cut so Nick insisted doing it himself, maybe he was afraid of someone cutting him with scissors or maybe I was and am trying to blame it on Nick. Anywho....that is besides the point. I just wanted Nick to trim it up but he had other intentions and cut ALOT off but the funny thing is he still has lots of hair left and people still comment on all of his hair!!

Before the haircut....

Very intense...didn't want to poke wobbly head


All the hair we had to cut

The end results....more handsome then ever!!

Spider Jump

Okay, so I am determined to get caught up on this blog. I will start with Davis' spider jump. As we were watching another little girl on this spider jump I was pretty impressed that she was loving it so much. Then I was shocked that Davis wanted to go on this and I thought for sure once they started lifting him up he was going to freak out but he LOVED every minute of it! I am a mother that doesn't get too nervous but honestly this was hard to watch Davis get flung up in the air 15-25 feet. By the end of it I had a few tears in my eyes, my heart was jumping out of my chest and my feet and hands were sweaty. It wouldn't be bad at all if your kids are older. To me Davis is still too small to be up in the air that high, just doesn't seem right!!

To Davis it was a BLAST and he still talks about "jumping really really high". Even when it was done he freaked out and had a crying melt down because he didn't want to get off! I don't think that we caught any pictures were Davis was at his highest point and most of them are blurry because it was so dark in there. Here you go......

I'm ALIVE!!!

Isn't it such a humbling experience to post a HORRIBLE picture of yourself for everyone to see??

Okay, finally I am here and most importantly ALIVE, I may not look alive all the time but as you can see I am mouthing the word 'STOP', which is exactly how I feel. I wish that I could just stop life for just a minute and sit and relax and take a couple of breathers without interruption, no babies to feed, no 2 year olds to entertain. Life just seems to be busy, busy, busy for me recently...but none the less I have come back to planet earth. I am sorry to everyone that comes and checks in on us, I have neglected my blog and reading everyone elses too!! Like Nick has said I have tons to post and blog about let's hope that I can keep it up. This hopefully will be a good starter.

So, let's play catch up. My mom came for a 2 week visit which was GREAT. It was fantastic having an extra pair of hands around to help. I didn't realize how much she helped with the dishes because once she left this 'magical' pile of dishes kept piling up and piling up....funny how that works!?! I know that Nick already mentioned some of the things we did but I have to do this in an orderly fashion or else it won't get done. So, yes I am going to remention and highlight some of the things we did while she was here and I will try to blog about it in more detail a little later. We went and visited a lot of fun and cool places while she was here, like the Coke Museum, Underground Atl, Discover Mills, Nick's parents (hey...if your not from the south Nick's parents is a happening place) and we took a trip to Charleston, South Carolina.

Some things we did around the house that my mom helped me with was organize my kitchen which is great because I now have room for my food supply which she had some insightful tips about organizing so stay tuned and I will share with you what I learned. She helped us plant a garden, which I am thankful that it is growing perfectly and I haven't killed anything yet...thank goodness for the rain this year!!

Some more highlights with the kids Cole got his first hair cut and now looks more handsome than ever and Davis got to go on this awesome spider jump and was soaring 15-25 feet through the air and loving every minute of it...yes, at that moment in time I realized I am in trouble with him!! And after she left we have been trying to get our life back to normal but then we thought that was waaayyy to boring so we RIPPED out our shower in our master bathroom and I am sure for the next few months we will be working on our new and improved bathroom ...see so much to blog about, where to start?? But, that is all that I have time for today because I have a baby to feed and I need to leave some time to get caught up on every one's blogs. I will try my best to get caught up.....but don't hold your breath

Jessie where are you!!!

Ok, we have like 10,000 things that have happened to us in the past 3 or 4 weeks. I'm not sure how long it's been since Jess has left a post but somebody needs to get her moving! Hair cuts, Charleston, gardens, mother-in-laws, downtown ATL, coke museum, mother's day, etc! So mucch has happened since the last time Jess has posted anything. What can we do to get her to post this stuff!! If she doesn't do it I'm going to have to and I'm just not as good!

So come on Jess!!! Post something already!!!

New blog...

so ok...to fight the temptation to leave political posts on this family blog and so I can stop saying stuff on facebook I started a new blog where I can feel free to say what I would like about politics and whatever else. I hope you go read it but if you don't want to read that sort of stuff it's easy to avoid! And Jess, I'm sorry for being so weird! I just can't help it!!! As I was typing my first post I was deleting and starting over and deleting some more and tapping my leg real fast and playing the drums on my desk and probably a few other things I didn't notice. I get so worked up over this stuff. Anyway....go check it out if you want! the address is:
