Cousin Jackson!

On our way to and from Memphis to visit Bradley's Mimi, Dunka, Great Nana and uncle John we stopped off in Charlotte where my brother and his family live. Bradley and Jackson always have a blast playing together! I couldnt resist the frog and the monkey...they were so cute!

"Pia" is 2 tomorrow!

We will be out of town for Sophia's Birthday so we gave her a present early! I can't believe they are both two. Liz and I were just saying last night that we still think of them as our little babies! Insert tear here! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIA! Bradley calls her "pia" and I call her "Sopopia" its a spanish dessert that I love and happens to sound like her name!

Im pregnant!

hi Everyone,
well Liz just told me that I had some few requests to post since its been like a month. I know its not what you want to see which is pictures but I do have exciting news that I am preggers with baby number 2!. I found out on February 9th, it was a monday and I just knew so I went to the store and bought the appropriate testing device to find out! It showed up positive right away! So, Brad was at work (FYI, this is all at the apartment in VB that Brad is living in for the next 4 months) which gave me time to create my way to tell him. Our 4 year Anniversary was 3 days later, February 12th....so I sealed it an envelope and wrote a happy Anniversary message on it. Then I put the envelope in a box, wrapped it, put a bow on it and when he got home told him I was so excited I bought him his Anniversary gift today. This would not create suspision with Brad b/c he knows I always blurt out gift secrets! I can never wait! So.....he opened it, peered in the envelope...and was so surprised he thought I was kidding! He was so happy when the shock wore off. We werent expecting it to happen last month so we are definately fortunate. It couldnt have happened any sooner because the due date is approximately October 19th and he gets home from his 4 month deployment the beginning-mid October! So...I will try my best to keep you updated on the bun in my oven! I am really happy to have a bigger family. Nervous but excited for the new adventure to come! I am also feeling a bit tired these days in the first trimester. I remember that with Bradley too. When Brad asks me what I did today I sometimes reply, this and that and oh, I was busy nurturing a baby growing in my womb....which takes up energy too! Well, have a great week...I will be sure to post Bradleys 2nd birthday pics after Thursday!

Sleepy Baby

Ok, the story behind these pictures are that everyone laughs at me when they come to my house and see that I still use this chair for Bradley from when he was an infant, the baby papasan. We all know hes not a baby anymore but I let him sit in it to lean back and watch his cartoons while I take a shower. its our routine. I shut my bedroom door and turn the tunes on that way I know hes not into everything in the house. Well, a few days ago I guess I finally didnt make it to get ready until like noon or 1 after lunch and I came out of the shower and this is how I found him! he looked so sweet.....hes never fallen asleep in this chair since he was an infant! So, I couldnt resist taking photos of him snoozing away like a baby! I miss the baby days which is why I mentioned in the last blog of me having baby fever. Its also hitting me about now because Bradley is turning 2 years old this february 19th! Dont children look so peaceful when they sleep! So innocent!

Tegan Elizabeth

Our wonderful friends Kate & Brinton had their first baby! A girl, Tegan Elizabeth. We went to see her last Tuesday before Brad went to Virginia Beach. Brinton went through some or all of the pipeline with Brad. They also both started here at their current unit together. We love B and Kate, they are such wonderful people and now we just really love Tegan! She is sooo adorably small and I felt so embarresed I almost started crying when I held her. I have baby fever really bad! Brad does also and wants a girl next so I made sure he held Tegan so he could continue that baby fever! My little way of making sure he stays on the same page as me! He is still. In the pics, we werent trying to move away from Tegan but she was comfortable sleeping in my one arm. Bradley didnt get close b/c he had the sniffles but he had fun playing with the dogs anyways. he did say "Baby" when he saw me holding her. Congrats Kate & Brinton!

Lets "Go" Sledding!

Lastly, a video of Bradley and Sophia sledding!
