Getting ready for Mississippi

Tomorrow night we are heading to Mississippi!! So we are packing and getting everything ready to leave!! We decided it would be easier to drive at night because Brady is not a big fan of his car seat these days!! He hates being cooped up in it!! He would rather be sitting up or on the floor playing!! So hopefully he will sleep the whole way!!

Here are some pics of Brady today!!

Trying to flip over!!

This is his new thing!! He loves to look at his feet, so I thought I would make things interesting for him with his cute trumpette stripped socks.

Show us where you live Friday-Guest Bedrooms

This week is Show us where you live- Guest Bedroom edition over at Kelly's Korner. So head on over there and look at all of the other Guest Bedrooms.

This guest bedroom is still kinda a work in progress.  Besides a bed and a chair we have moved the treadmill and the computer desk in there.  We did have an office with those in there but when I got pregnant last year we decided that the office was going to become the nursery. So here is a pic with just the bed and nightstand. 

I think I am going to put this above the bed but I haven't made my mind up yet! Got it at Canton!!

This is the second guest bedroom.  This one gets used the most!

I still need to put a mirror above this dresser but just haven't found one that I like yet!!

I love these!! I got them in college when I worked at a gift shop

Thanks for visiting!!

Activity Center

My sister-in-law Kasey always has such great ideas.  Her latest one was to put a blanket around Brady in his new activity center.  On the box it says 4+ months but she said she would always put her boys in the activity center earlier with a blanket around them.  So that was just what I did today and as you can see in the pics that Brady loved it!! He stayed in it for about 8 minutes before he started getting tired!! We will have to keep working on holding that head up!!

3 months old today!!!

I can't believe Brady is already 3 months old!!! He is such a blessing!! Some of you know but many of you don't know that it took us 1 1/2 years to become pregnant.  I have PCOS and have fertility issues.  Last year about this time we didn't know how or when we would become parents.  I had been on clomid for 5 months and this was the highest dosage that they were going to allow me to take and then we were going to have to be referred to a fertility specialist!! My heart broke a little every time I would go to the Dr. and she would say well, you didn't ovulate this time!! Needless to say we ended up going on a very relaxing vacation to the Dominican Republic and low and behold if we didn't come back and find out that I ovulated!!! We had to wait a couple of weeks to take a pregnancy test and it just so happened we were going to be in MS when I was suppose to take one!! So we took it in MS and it was positive!! We were so excited that we could tell the whole family face to face!!! It was such a hard time in my life not knowing if I was going to be able to conceive, but I put my faith in the Lord!! God is great and I know that there are many women out there are that are having problems conceiving and I would love it if you would say a little prayer for them!! Tiffany is one of these women having trouble conceiving and she will be going to a fertility specialist in July. So please keep her in your prayers!!  I thank the Lord everyday for my sweet little boy!! 

This music video says it all!! I ball every time I watch it!!!

Here are a few pics of my little Dominican baby!!! LOL!!

Tummy Time!!

He is 26 inches long!!!!

He pulls his hair a lot and I tell him no and pull his hand away when I see him do it. I know he doesn't know what no is but he will eventually. I will look at his hands when I pull them away and there will be hairs in them!! I know it has to hurt but he never cries!

Show us where you live Friday- Living Rooms

This week is Show us where you live- Living Room edition over at Kelly's Korner. So head on over there and look at all of the other beautiful living rooms. I love my living room!! This is where we hang out the most!!

This is the entryway. The white box on the wall is the door bell.  You think they would try to conceal this so that it is not so out in the open. 

View from the front of the hallway. I don't know why that white spot is on the picture.

View from the back of the living room.

View from the kitchen.

We desperately need to get some gas logs!! 

My hutch that was FREE!!! A renter at my In-laws commercial property just left this at the store so that is how we came to own this beautiful piece of furniture!!

The lamp shade is totally crooked!! Please overlook this!! Ha!!

On top of the mantle. 

Yes, we love playing Guitar Hero!!!

I had to put a couple of pics of the living room at Christmas time!!  

I absolutely love Christmas time!! I usually decorate in early November and take it down mid-January.  I know that is a really long time to have Christmas decorations out but I just love them!!

This is a painting of my miniature schnauzer McKenzie that passed away this past October. I have had it for 3 years and still haven't gotten it framed!! I really need to do it soon!!!

This picture on top of the entertainment center is my favorite!!! Growing up both of my grandparents had this in their living rooms!! So it is very special to me!! My parents gave it to me when we bought the house!!

This scrapbook is on the coffee table.  It is of our wedding and honeymoon.  It was a gift from my brother's family. My sister-in-law Kasey and myself worked a lot on this!!  

This is the first page in the scrapbook!! I love this picture!! We got married on the beach in Seaside, FL.  It is the cutest town ever!!

Last but not least I had to put a picture of where I do all of my blogging.  I usually have a sleeping baby on one arm and typing with my other.  Also the MacBook was a early Mother's Day present!!! I love it!!

Thanks for visiting!!
