pictures from a day at the park with Deda in March

The static in his hair is priceless!

HELP

So I have one month until I live in Cleburne to have Turner. The crib is not put together, the room is a disaster, the clothes are in big totes, etc. I need to get ready for this baby. Seriously.

Texas

I love my state! It is so beautiful. Driving home yesterday evening on back roads with all the bluebonnets and rolling hills of new green. I love Texas.

Fun

We have had a fun, and productive day! Got to see YaYa and get some errands done. Took a nap, went on a walk, and played in the water outside since it is in the 90's. WOW!

Tomorrow is Clayton Graham's 3rd birthday. I can't believe it. That means that in 7 months, we will be having a similar experience. Cannot believe these boys are growing up so fast! After that party we have a wedding shower in Dallas. Cliff and I are leaving Colden with Gram and GranJobe and going to Dallas without him. Then after the shower we will have a 'date night'. Anytime away, just the two of us is so wonderful right now. Maybe because we know that soon, it will not be possible!

Heading off again.....

Tomorrow Colden and I are headed to Cleburne again for appointments. The car ride is all I am not looking forward to. We are going to stop at the cloth diaper store in Waco called Pinwheels. It is so cute, has a great clean bathroom, nice workers, and an indoor playground. It being halfway between here and Cleburne, it is a great stop, even if it is a bit out of the way.

I love these boys. :) Can't wait to fall completely in love with my other little boy very soon!

Bath Time

These boys are CRAZY at bath time! I love them!

Updates.........

I apologize for my "very empty blog". :) I feel like I have been running around with my head cut off. I finally uploaded pictures yesterday from Jan-March, so I am feeling a bit more up to date. Man, if it is this bad already, who knows how out of touch with everyone I will feel when Turner is here and Cliff is deployed! Sheesh!

Colden is the most awesome toddler ever. He has his 'moments' but he is so much FUN! He cracks us up, is starting to joke around with us, and it is so much fun to make fun of him, because he is a good sport! I think he is going to be a great big brother! Leaving town every other week into the weekend for appts is wearing on me. May 1, as of now, I am moving to Cleburne, so I will close for when I go into labor. Some days I think it will be early, and some days I think it will be late. I don't really care as long as I get a little bit of time with Turner AND Cliff together. 6 weeks would be FANTASTIC! One day, we are going to be expecting a baby and NOT a deployment, and then I will feel a lot better!

Getting the house ready for a baby is a bit much right now. I want every thing perfect, and to have a home, but our home is so small. The closets are being redone, and Cliff's next big project is the back yard. I want it cozy, because I know this summer we will be living out there. I believe it will be a bit much to take a wild 2 yr old and a newborn to the pool and keep up. Hopefully I have a lot of help, but who knows at this point.

OK, time for some exercise!
