James' birthday

I decided the kids and I were going to make James his birthday cake again this year. I really wanted to do an Ohio State cake but had a hard time finding anything I liked. So this is what we came up with ......















It didn't turn out exactly like I pictured but the kids helped and they were so proud of themselves. Madison did a great job writing Happy Birthday Daddy (with some help). I was a little worried how the cake would end up tasting because of all the little hands helping and touching everything but it was very good.

Pumpkin Patch Fun

We headed out to the local pumpkin patch. It was super crowded and hot!! $57 dollars later and we were ready to start the day! We started out on a 4 mile corn maze. They even made a Clue like game along the way with clues and stuff to figure out a crime. It was pretty neat but it was too hot and too long for the kids to walk through the 3 or 4 different paths they had to get all the clues so after over an hour of walking around this thing we gave up. Then we went to the playground and the kids ran around like crazy while we hung out and Wyatt slept. Next was the Pumpkin Jump. The kids and I had a blast on this thing. It was huge and really fun. Logan was getting thrown everywhere when anyone big jumped near him it was great! Finally it was time for the hayride. We stood in line and finally got to when we were next in line to load and they were full so we had to wait 20-25 minutes for it to come back. Then we picked out our pumpkins and headed out. We were there for a total of 4 1/2 hours! It was a long hot day but really fun!

New post!

Needless to say we've been super busy since Wyatt's come. A lot has happened over the last 6 months. Wyatt was born Monday, April 19th at 9:15am. He was 8lbs 2oz. As we went into the hospital James and I did a bet on the weight I guessed 8 12 and James guessed 8 2. He was right on! Everything with my c-section went great. We went to the OR at 9 and I was in recovery by 9 45. My recovery took a little longer, I was super super sore for a long time after and had a hard time. Luckily James got a lot of time off.
We put our house up for sale in May (still trying to sell it) :( And started getting ready for our move to NC. Beginning of August we went to Ohio for a month of leave. We had so much fun there just hanging out. We were super busy though!
We made our move to NC in September. finding a house was a hassle. We looked at about 10 houses and only ended up liking a few due to the house itself or the area. We ended up renting a house that wasn't even on our original list. But we're all settled in and things are starting to get normal for us. I'm happy to have James home for the next few years!! I will try to keep my blog up to date from here on out!

Baby Wyatt

Yesterday I had an ultrasound to check the growth of the baby. I guess they are worried about me having another 9lb baby and if he is going to be big, they want to schedule my c-section early. I was really excited because they ended up doing a 3d ultrasound. We could see him yawning and opening his mouth. He kept opening his eyes and he even smiled at us!! :) As of now Wyatt is 5lbs and in the 82 percentile for his age. The ultrasound tech said it looked like he wasn't going to let Logan out do him.

Logan's Haircut

Logan really really needed a haircut....James took him and he didn't get the same lady that usually cuts his hair and instead of using scissors like I recomend they used the clippers. So everytime Logan turned or moved she would cut it a little short and kept having to go shorter and shorter. It was short...but I came around to really liking it shorter. It makes him look like such a big boy! And he even let me spike it up...even though Uncle Dusty seemed to think Logan looked like he belonged on the Jersey Shore with spiked hair!!

Love Day!

For Valentines Day the meetup group had a pot luck lunch and exchanged valentines for the kids. Madison had a blast putting stickers on her brown bag to collect her cards in. I think she was more excited about that then getting valentines from her friends.

decorating their bags at the party

The Valentines Day actually came....I got up early and put the kids presents together and decorated a little big. Logan was the first one up and was so excited to see all the stuff. Madison and James slept in, so I let Logan open his gifts up. We had heart shaped pancakes and strawberry milk to celebrate.

Night Out

For my friend Alicia's birthday we went to dinner at the Melting Pot and a comedy show at Zanies. The Melting Pot was disappointing I will say. Although the cheese dips and the chocolate dips were good, I wasn't fond of the main dishes. We decided next time we go we are just going for the cheese and desert. It was worth the experience though, we had a lot of fun with good friends.

the desert...I loved the Rice Krispie treats in
