Catching Up!

Where has the time gone? We've been so busy, I haven't had time to blog lately so I'm trying to catch up! We went to my grandparents house a few weeks ago to celebrate my granddad's birthday. We had a lot of fun visiting with family and as always we had good eats too!! :-)

The next weekend my brother and sister-in-law came to visit to celebrate my brother's birthday. Friday night everyone came over to our house for dessert and then on Saturday night we had a wonderful dinner at a Greek restaurant downtown. Afterward, we all came back to our house to open presents. The boys had the first real baby-sitter, meaning we were actually paying someone to keep them. :-) They did really well, but we didn't leave until after they were in the bed.

Breaking News!

Guess what? I am going to be an AUNT!!!! I am sooooooo excited! My brother and sister-in law are going to have a baby in June and we are so happy for them! Congratulations Jim and Ashley! Fisher and Davis can't wait to meet their first, 1st cousins! We love you!

New Adventure

I got a new job! Well, not really a job, but I'm starting a new adventure. I recently became a Southern Living at Home consultant. Since I have so much free time, I decided to find something to fill up the time. Ha, ha! Actually, I went to my first Southern Living at Home party a couple of months and absolutely loved the products so I decided to host a party. I had so much fun hanging out with the girls and sharing the products with them I thought I would enjoy being a consultant. If you would be willing to host a party or if you're interested in becoming a consultant let me know. It's a lot of fun and you earn lots of free products. Each month there are customer and hostess specials where products are 50-70% off. You can get some really good deals! There are 2 types of parties you can host-- an in-home party or a catalog party. Either way, you can earn your free products, but you typically have better sales at an in-home party if your guests aren't familiar with the products. I posted a link to the November specials below. Also, if you host a party this month, you get extra hostess dollars to spend on products. I hope to be your Southern Living at Home consultant!

Wordless Wednesday

When you gotta go, you gotta go!

I had the day off since it's election day, but that didn't really mean I had the day off. I just didn't have to go to school today. :-) I was up and out of the house by 7:30 to go to the polls. Evan said he could keep the boys until 9:00 so I could go and vote. I waited in line for about 30 minutes and was about halfway to the door when I had to go to the bathroom. I held it for about 15 minutes, but then I couldn't hold it anymore. I asked the sweet lady behind me if she would mind holding my spot in line. She said sure, so I bolted for the bathroom and was back within a couple of minutes and I saw the sweet lady was flagging me down. The line had moved all the way inside and had split into lines by last name, A-K and L-Z. I was getting ready to get back in line in front of her when I realized she was in the L-Z line. Ughh!! I couldn't go in that line. So I had to go to the back of the line and start all over!! I finally got through the line again, booked it home and pulled up in the driveway at 9:00. I walked in the house as Evan walked out. In passing he told me the boys had not had their cereal. So it was now 9:05 and Davis had an appointment downtown at 10:00 so I now had 35 minutes for me to shower and get ready, feed the boys their cereal, get them dressed, and load them up in the car. And to top it off I walked in the den and smelled that smell. They BOTH had poopy diapers!!! We made it the appointment almost on time. We came home they took a short nap, I fed them lunch, then I ate lunch and then headed to get my haircut. My hair stylist was running late so I was paying at 2:25. The boys had their 6 month checkup at 2:30. So I had 5 minutes to get from the salon, to my house to get the boys and get them to the pediatrician. Needless to say I was late. I called on my way to let them know and they said as long as I wasn't more than 15 minutes late then it would be fine. I raced home picked them up and wheeled in the parking lot of the doctor's office at 2:44. Whew! I had made it! I didn't have time to get the stroller out and put them in it so I had to carry both carriers in at the same time. The appointment went very well. They had more shots, but surprisingly they only cried for a couple of minutes afterwards. I posted their stats below. Well, that was my day off. I hope yours was a little less hectic than mine!


Davis
Weight: 14 lbs. 8 oz.

Fisher

To cool for school!

Check out my mohawk!

You have to look close, but I officially now have hair and I can even sport a mohawk. My brother didn't make this post because he's still bald. Hee, hee! :-) Let me know what you think about my new look.

Love, Davis

Pumpkin Farm

We took the boys to the pumpkin farm a few weeks ago. Although there wasn't much for them to do since they're so young, they really enjoyed being outside. We picked out 3 pumpkins- 2 orange and 1 green. :-)

Happy Halloween!

Fisher and Davis wanted to be Thing 1 and Thing 2 this year for Halloween and since Davis was born first we decided that he would be Thing 1. They didn't seem to mind their outfits too much but it was hard to get good pictures because we were nearing bottle and bedtime. They were a little fussy! Fisher doesn't really like anyone to interrupt his eating schedule. :-)

We took them trick-or-treating at my parents house and my aunts house. Katherine and Tommy came to my parents house at the same time so we could get some pictures of all the kids. Her little boy McCain and my boys are only a few weeks apart and Allie is almost 2 1/2. Aren't they cute?

Happy 6 months Fisher and Davis!

Happy 6 months boys! You sure have grown a lot in the past 6 months. When you were born I could hold each of you in one hand. You were both like baby dolls. I could also carry both of your carriers at the same time, but now I struggle with carrying one at a time. Both of you slept through the night for the first time last night. I was so excited and somewhat rested! :-) I can't believe you're already 6 months old. I am so lucky to be your mom and I look forward to the many years ahead. I love you as much as the whole wide world!

Love, Mom

The boys turned 6 months old today. I can't believe it- time sure does fly by. They can do so many things now. They talk all the time and when they both start talking Tucker starts howling. It is absolutely hilarious. I am going to try and catch it on video so I can post it. They are very close to sitting up and I think Fisher is going to be crawling before long. Their personalities are starting to really develop and they are so different from each other. We go to the doctor for their 6 month checkup on Tuesday. More shots! :-( The good news though is they're growing like weeds so I'm sure they will be on the regular growth charts now rather than the preemie charts.

On a side note, I haven't had time to post lately because work has been CRAZY and we've been busy on the weekends. We've taken the boys to do lots of things and I'll post pictures of that soon. I have the cutest costumes for them for Halloween so I'll post those this weekend sometime. More to come...

Food Festival

We met some of our friends downtown today for a huge food festival. Restaurants from around town were selling samples of foods from their menus. Evan and I only spent $25 and we got a ton of delicious food. Both of us were stuffed!!! The boys had a great time strolling around town and seeing some of their friends. They had lots of rides and shows for kids, but Davis and Fisher weren't quite old enough to enjoy those, but in a few years they will be. :-) It was such a beautiful day today. We really enjoyed being outside!

Wofford Homecoming

It was Wofford Homecoming this weekend so we took the boys to their first football game. I swear every time we go back the campus has changed. We parked at the auditorium and walked through the row to go to the game. It brought back so many GREAT memories. The girls had dresses and uncomfortable heels on and the guys all had on ties. That was me 7 years ago-living the college life. Wow how time flies- those 4 years were so much fun!

As we pushed the strollers through the row I thought about how much things have changed for us since last Homecoming and I just smiled and thought I wouldn't change it for the world! We went to the game for a little while and then we went to see Claire and her family at their tailgating spot. We had such a good time and it was so good to see everyone. Thanks Claire!

$2.69

$2.69... that's how much we got gas for this weekend. Yahoo!!! We were able to fill my bus up for $65.00. I couldn't believe it! It's kind of sad that we're celebrating it only being $2.69. I remember when it used to cost $0.89 a gallon. Thank goodness I'm not still in high school. I certainly wouldn't have been able to "drive around" on the weekends which is what all the cool kids did. My Celica would have been parked in the driveway.
