Sorry!!

Let me begin by apologizing for being so late on any new posts. I have had tons and tons that I would like to post but unfortunately my time is somewhat limited. Between the end of school, doctor appointments, fixing up our house, and Aydan...there is very little time in the evening. This evening I figured I was just going to sit down and get it all done.

Before I was a Mom

I stole this from my friend Leanne's blog...I thought that it was too precious to not pass it on. I hope that you enjoy it. I believe that it sums up life pretty well.

Before I was a Mom...

Before I was a Mom -I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.

Before I was a Mom -I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom -I had never been puked on - Pooped on - Spit on - Chewed on, or Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and My thoughts. I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom -I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests...or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom -I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my lifeso much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom -I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.

Before I was a Mom -I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known The warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

Graduation is right around the corner

YEAH!!! We finally are done with grad school! It only took us 2 years to complete. I am very proud to say that we both earned a 4.0 while attending grad school. A big accomplishment because many days we were not able to give 100%. I can also say that both of my children in some way or fashion attended Alabama A&M University...GO BULLDOGS!!

Aydan's Birthday Party

Clint and I realize that we are a little bit behind on the blogging. Unfortunately my loving husband decided to leave the camera bag at The Little Gym. Of course the camera bag did not have the camera because I was responsible for it, but it does have our battery charger. The camera battery is completely dead and we will post pictures as soon as we get the camera bag from The Little Gym. I would say definately by the weekend :)

Clint Fishing with Peter :)

Peter took a video of Clint instead of a picture. But we decided to post the video too. That way Clint could show off the big crappie that he caught too. Way to go boys we are all so proud of you! :)

Fun Day Fishing

Clint and Peter decided to try crappie fishing at Elk River today. Here is their catch.

Birthday Bath

After the cupcake Aydan had to have a bath! He enjoys his bath time more than ever especially today because Granny, Aunt Lauren and Aunt Jessica were here. After the bath Granny rubbed him down with bedtime lotion, but not before Aydan ran off without a diaper and got excited and peed on the floor! It took an entire year for that to happen! Man what a day it has been now it is time for bed.
