The start of it all....

James and I started dating ironically on his first deployment to Iraq. Although if you ask him he tried for a year to get together with me but I kept turning him down. Guess it all worked out in the end. :) A few months after he came home after being there for a year, we got engaged, April 8th, 2004. We were married on July 2nd, 2005. What a fun wedding, many great stories came out of that night at the after party at Woodys. A few months later...surprise...we were pregnant. I cried and James went to work and told everyone and called me and said we were all going out to dinner to celebrate. By then the shock had worn off and we were both excited!! Madison Alexis was born May 19th, 2006. She was stubborn and resulted in an emergency c-section after almost 12 hours of labor. She was healthy and gorgeous. 7lbs 9oz 19inches. She is Daddy's little girl. I think she has Daddy wrapped around her finger and will always have the key to his heart. She loves her little brother, likes to help clean, and is bossy and in charge. When Madison was about 5 months old....we decided we wanted to try for another. Logan James was born on August 13th, 2007. We weren't planning on another c-section, but he was way past his due date and after talking it over decided on a c-section. And thankfully we did. He was 9lbs 12oz 20inches. A big boy from the day he was born. He is a Mommy's boy for sure and always a sweetheart. He's rough and tough, and a good thing because Madison tends to beat up on him and he has to just take it. Even though he weighs more than her by a pound.
We have a lot of plans coming up in the next year or so....lots to do and exciting things coming up!!
