Baseball!




We all enjoyed going to watch Seth play ball this weekend! His team had a great year and made it to the 2nd round of state play offs. We had a big day full of watching and cheering them on. We really enjoyed watching Seth play- he had such a great season! My boys are going to have lots of "coaches" when they get old enough to play:-)








Part of the fan club!

J's new thing is to take some pictures himself! He was very proud of this one!

Tired little boy!





Seth did so well- we are all very proud of him!


Thought I'd throw this in too- another one of John David's masterpieces!



36 weeks


Went to the dr. yesterday and here's the update: 3 cm, 80%, and +3!! He's coming soon!! I go again on May 1st and then on May 5. She would like to take the baby on the 6th to make sure I can get the epidural. Looks like Pops will have to share his b-day w/ baby Graham! My parents are planning ot be here on the 4th, so we are super excited to get this little guy here and in our arms! What a blessing!

Parachutes and hair!




Parachute army!
These are awesome little crafts to do! Easy and fun:-) We love them!






Hud got a hair cut!! I watched J get his hair cut and thought I could try it on Hudson...he looks handsome!

John David is THREE!!!


Here's just a collection of random pictures that I thought you may enjoy!

I remember for a time we would were this helmet, playing for hours! I would even wear it while I folded clothes, washed dishes....:-)






Kase and J!






This was one of his first kisses:-)




His first Alabama football weekend!














This was just days after he was born!







Seconds after birth!

Mommy and John David's first DATE!! We went to Bridge Street where I followed him around....there were a lot of entertainers that night out playing music and doing magic, etc...then we finished the night w/ french fries and burger at Red Robin! It was a great first date for us! This was back in October of 08...
He has been such a blessing to our family!!
We love you, John David!!

Easter!

North Carolina surprise!!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!! We miss you both!!


Our own little Easter Musical!! I think I've had a headache for two days now!





Huntsville has been having some crazy weather here lately..a hail storm hit us the other day...we found some the size of golf balls!











Hudson wanted to go get the "balls" that God was given us:-)






Sunday Morning!




Little Monkeys...



Dad putting Hudson to practice a bit early:-)




Hud's favorites right now are balls, cars, and dogs! Dogs have to be at the top of the list- we hear
abt. them daily...many times a day. Almost every morning at the breakfast table he sees people walking their dogs out the window...he loves to tell them hello and goodbye.



Workin' hard!


( several of you guys have asked how far along I am- I forgot to post that on the belly pics...this picture is 34th week...Dr. estimated the first or second week of May for delivery..it has snuck up on us so quickly!!)

A Pretty Little...

BOY??!!

Hud's hair has gotten so long that it will go into a perfect little pony tail! David had a late softball game the other night and I played dress up :-) Can you tell I'm in a house full of boys?!



Now- that's our little boy! Much better!

Belly Time!

Finally....
These two picture aren't the best...you can barely see me, but you can notice a little belly. This was taken abt. two weeks back.




These next three pics were taken a week ago...belly is GROWING!!






This last picture was taken this past Sunday...when we walk in our church there is a big mirror down the hall that you have to walk toward...I realized that my belly had grown so much since I had last worn this outfit that you could see my big bellybutton right through my shirt! Nice little touch to any outfit, huh?! ha!

Fishers of Men

Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.
I'm in the middle of reading this book right now- for the first time. I don't know what to say abt. it besides that it has been such a huge encouragement to me. We've been going through Adam Stanley's series GO FISH on Sunday nights. This book has seemed to go right along with it.

This is one my favorite books about family. It goes right along with becoming fishers of men as well. It talks about the huge crisis of the American Christian family- the crisis between belief and action. We got the book through Liberty a couple of years back and I've gone through it a couple of times now- always keeping it close...like Shepherding a Child's Heart and Raising Kid's for True Greatness it's been a great book for us to go back to often. I will probably share some things out of it soon.

Exploring!


We love to go exploring...and find cool bugs and treasures:-) It reminds me of when I was a kid too. That was one of my favorite things to do! I'm not sure if we looked for bugs though...that may be a boy thing:-)


Helping Hud!

"Watch me mom" is the phrase for the month....
Then a little swinging!
Surprise! I went inside for just a second...came back and this is what I saw! He said he had to go "potty"...well, he forgot his pants in the bushes:-)
I must say modesty is not his greatest strength! We need to work on that:-)

Dr. MOM...

J got a cut on his finger one morning and it wouldn't stop bleeding...we ran it under cold water (thus the wet PJ's) , did all sorts of things to stop the bleeding....finally after a while, Dr. Mom nursed him up with paper towels and duct tape....He thought that was pretty funny....but what do you do when all you have is band aids and those just don't work? I thought duct tape fixed everything:-)

He was very proud of his enormous bandage...and the cut was barely visible:-)...it just wouldn't stop bleeding!

Peek-a-boo

Where is J?
(okay- as I show you a picture of J and Hud's very full closet I feel the urge to tell you that this is winter clothes and spring/summer... I just unloaded the spring season in here:-) and left the winter until I know the cold weather is gone....thus the extremely full overload of clothes :-)...

Can you spot him?


There he is!!
What a nut....it was time to start getting ready for bedtime one night and he called for me from his room....and this is what I saw...I didn't know where he was until he popped his head out!
