I finally got to go to one of Shayla’s track meets last week. She really surprised me, while she was running she got her team up into 2nd place, they eventually WON! Go Shayla!
Here are a few pictures for that day, and yes the girls mostly stood around and talked while waiting for their turn to run!
Surprise Surprise!

I have always thought that just when we have it all figured out, God steps in and puts us in out place. Around Thanksgiving of last year he really put James and I in our place. I started to feel the all too familiar signs of being pregnant again. At first I am ashamed to admit that I ignored them. I guess in the back of my mind if I ignored it long enough it would just go away. Yeah right. We already have three kids, two girls and a boy, a boy who is proud to tell anyone who will listen that he is our only son. It is a role he has gotten pretty accustom to in his eight years on earth. Well I guess he is about to become unaccustomed to it!
In July our family will welcome another son into the world. I have to give credit to my little man, he is overjoyed he has a brother on it’s way to help him cope with the very difficult task of having two sisters, someone to wage the battle with him so to speak. I have to say I agree with him somewhat since I also have two sister and it ain’t easy!
In all honesty after the shock wore off, we are extremely grateful that we have been blessed with wonderful healthy children and are super excited to welcome another, I am sure to be wonderful little person into our family. I am shocked each and every day as to how much my children have taught me, and they truly are a blessing to myself and James. Even if they are a drain on our bank accounts! I am also so very blessed to have a husband that truly believes in equal rights, in that he is very hands on with the kids and housework, I don’t think I could have handled one child let alone the soon to be four, without him!
For some reason the realization that I am about to be the mother of four kids has set me on some sort of quest to be super mother, as most of you know James and myself come from a family of four kids, when we just had three we could lie to ourselves and say the reason we could give them more than what our parents gave us is because there are less of them then there were of us! Well I can’t say that anymore! So I am now on a quest to become supermom, and save tons of money on groceries, etc, know all the ways to teach my kids to be a genius, the best way to discipline them, on and on! So feel free to let me know of any ideas you have, I know I am not the only working mother of four on the planet, and I think I am going to need all the help I can get!

Here are some more pictures of James and my visit to Savannah last weekend. I had a long list of things to do while in Savannah but did not take into account the weather as it was freezing while we were there! I do not think I would have enjoyed a ghost walk while shriving the entire time!
I had a wonderful time anyways! We did manage a trip down to river street where I took these pictures at, with out a doubt our next trip to Savannah will be during warmer weather!

Last weekend we visited Savannah for Stephanie’s wedding. It was a nice break from the stress of daily life and it was wonderful to celebrate Stephanie and her new husband’s big day!
The ceremony was beautiful and touched everyone in attendance, married, engaged or still looking for Mr. or Miss Right. It was truly a blessing to attend and be a part of it.
Here are a few pictures of the big day, if you are my friend on facebook you can see tons more of them! James was so kind as to act as photographer for me since in all honesty, my new camara like my new phone are smarter than I am!
Roxie’s puppies

Last Thursday Roxie gave birth to eight puppies, we lost two of them by friday morning so we are left with six. She started delivering puppies around lunch that day, I thank God James was here with me ( I was working from home that day), because I was of no help what so ever to him or Roxie while she was delivering! Every time he would tell me another one was here I would go in look and then run from the room screaming like a little girl!
Here are some pictures of a preganant Roxie and a pic of one of her pups!
