Halle's Blessing Pics

by Joy Gough

I have more to post but they were taking to long to load... so later gator!

Long time no see...

Been a while eh? Thats what happens when you don't have the internet at your home! O'well what can you do? (oh wait...I could get the internet....hummm..... thats a grand idea) Anyways just a brief pic update...

Halle was blessed on July 4th....this is her photo op by yours truly (don't make fun...I tried) I do have some extremely cute professional ones to post soon! ps. her dress is the same one I was blessed in...thank goodness I went through one of my Moms closets and found it. I had forgotten she saved it.

pic taken yesterday....we pulled out this toy and she was all sorts of lovin it! Don't you just want to eat her...her floppy ears and bald head and those rolly polly legs....love that girl! ps. she's going to be 4 months in 2 days...time flies!

we can't forget this little guy! He's still the biggest character ever and keeps us laughing (in fact just the other day I got a "Mom... I love you more than pooping!" ahhhh ain't that sweet!)

Well until next time.....

6 years ago today....

Mom you are missed! Love you!

Some randoms

Ok I had to post my last pregnancy pic...(ok so its the only one I've posted) super not cute pic but can a belly possible stick out any more than this?... honestly it looks photo shopped.

anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little one

and here she is... doesn't she look pleased :)

Our romantic dinner for 2 at the hospital... I don't know if I was just starving or what but I actually enjoyed my hospital food. It wasn't too shabby. ps. the rolls they served with this meal were delicious...I've got to find out where they came from

Michael of course jumped in for the dessert

Michael was so excited to take Baby sister and I home... she's dressed and ready to go

Her cute little outfit we brought her home in.

if you are wondering if she always has her tongue out...the answer is yes... she honestly always has it sticking out even in her ultrasound pics you could see her little tongue sticking out! (at least we know we have the right baby;))

Her first official bath with her big brother... love this pic she's cross eyed and all! Michael loves taking a bath with her and requests one daily
Michael loves his baby sister! He honestly is so good with her, always wants to hold her and I'll often hear him saying to her "baby sister you look beautiful"

This is the only good thing that came out of going to Wheeler Farm for the easter egg hunt...honestly it was the biggest joke! Never again will I go...never never never! But I did score this pic of Michael with the (creepy) Easter bunny. Shockingly Michael just went over and let the bunny pic him up and he sat by him so I could take a pic. If you know Michael that is quite impressive. I love how they are looking at each other lovingly.

Love moments like these! My cute 3 all snoozing!

Our adorable bundle has arrived!

Good News!

1- Carpet was installed yesterday! Woot Woot! If you don't recall we have been living in our family room for 4 months with getting everything remodeled and our carpet was our last big thing that needed to be done so we could move into our rooms. Now its complete and absolutely beautiful and I slept in my room last night (is it odd it was weird to have a room) and Michael slept in his own room all by himself. It was soooooo unbelieveably nice! Michael and I set up his play room last night and its pretty awesome... he has a family room in it, a kitchen, grocery store, craft room, and ball room. He's a pretty funny dude.

2- Its official.... baby will be born next wed. A Saint Pattys baby!! That is unless she decides to make an appearance sooner. But for now I'm scheduled to be induced next wed. which I wasn't sure I wanted to do...but now think its best. I'm game for her coming whenever now... all I wanted was to have carpet before she came and that is in so now she is welcome any day! :) We are super excited and a little on the nervous side! (is it weird that we are both more nervous for the second one?)

ps. Michael has a baby sister in his tummy too.... he tells us to feel his baby sister (and when you do he pushes his tummy in and out...its hilarious)

Bye Bailey...We love you!

Our beloved Bailey passed away today. :( She was in really sad shape these days could hardly walk and struggled getting around on my fams tile floor. She was such a young pup at heart but her aged body couldn't handle it anymore. She will be missed!

1st
Ok here's a sneak peek of one of our many projects going on at our humble abode...
The master shower before.......

I apologize if you these pics make you want to barf... actually these pics don't do the nastiness justice... the shower was all sorts of nasty mildewagey poopiness....we pretty much stood on our tippy toes for the times we used it before it was destroyed

Ta da.... the aftermath....

Don't you just want to strip down and jump in it? Come on I know you do?

if you notice the shower is now bigger we tore down the wall and extended the shower to make it a little more roomier. Behind the wall is the kids bathroom and it had a long counter with double sinks so we just extended our shower which got rid of one of the sinks and part of the counter. There is still plenty of counter space in the other bathroom and really I didn't think two sinks was necessary so its a win win! The other bathroom looks fab as well my hub hung up the mirror and accessories last night. So we are getting there slowly but surely...

.... there will be lots more to come.

2nd (long potty post...skip if you could care less about a 3 yr olds #1 and #2)

My child is awesome as always.... and decided that is was time to be potty trained (I haven't been pushing it because I tried back in the day and it backfired on me so I was letting him decide when was time) A couple weeks ago he was holding himself saying he had to go pee pee which I thought was odd since he was in a diaper and usually didn't make the announcement. So I threw out...well you can go pee pee on the potty if you want to try. To my astonishment he was all gung ho about it....and sure enough he went. He was all excited about it and so that was that....from then on out he was a peeing on the potty machine. The number 2age was a issue... for a couple weeks because the week he started peeing he had a little plugged up issue (which by the way was awful...poor little guy was in pain.... and giving him suppositories...I won't even go there) So anyways we were just happy the little man could go....so going in the pull up was fine and dandy with us. The issue now has corrected itself (keeping fingers crossed) So two days ago Michael was wearing some buzz undies and I told him that they were not like his pull ups and he couldn't poop on buzz or he wouldn't be happy (theres a big buzz on the butt) So anyways I think the poor guy was holding it in all day so he wouldn't make buzz mad (my bad... I almost caused the child to be constipated again) He complained later that his bum hurt so I told him we could go get a pull up on or he could try the toilet. He chose the toilet and sure enough low and behold he went... and the next day went twice....and today went once. He's pretty much obsessed with going.... YAY! How easy was that? Lets hope he keeps it up :)

So this is what diapers have become at our household.... a lovely accessory.... they're wonderful for the winter months they keep your head, ears, and chin warm.... just ask Michael

ps. some cute Michael quotes:

me "why is baby sister kicking me?" michael "baby sister is kicking you because she loves you"

name for his baby sister "coke" (don't ask me where he got that we don't drink coke I don't even know if he knows there is a drink coke....but that is what he's naming her)

michael "your bellys big because your a mommy"

me, "your cute" michael ,"ya" me, "am I cute?" michael, "no your a mommy" me, "mommies can't be cute?" michael, "no mommies and daddies aren't cute just little boys are cute" me, "ok am I pretty?" michael, "ya" (good to hear from my 3 yr old)

yesterday grocery shopping he was in the carts with the car on the front and apparently we had just gone to the store so he could drive around because every time I stopped to get something he'd get mad so at one point I stopped and was talking to Kev on the phone and all a sudden I see him getting out and he doesn't look happy with me... he walks toward me and says " What is going on here"

he's obsessed with playing games lately and afterwards when he wins "I win you lose" and then he stands with his hands up in the air all victorious....and then he comes over and says "its ok you can win next time" (but yet if you do win he is all sorts of drama)

I can't remember what I was doing or what was said but I wasn't happy about something and michael said " relax mama"

"is baby sister coming yet?"

"when baby sister comes I'm going to tickle her...and then I'm going to beat her up" (oh joy)

He cracks me up daily...what a fun little guy!

Tile Happy :)

The tile in our bathroom is officially done... I feel like crying tears of joy from the beauty it beholds! The countdown begins now for me to finally have a bedroom and not be living in the family room.... I can't wait!

pictures to come.... and be prepared for some awesomeness!
