I know! I know! You can't believe it! I am blogging!!! I figured that I might need to put something on here beside the recently departed president.

Well I will start with a couple of holiday pics to only add more later....hopefully sooner than later!

Halloween of course..or at least the pumpkin patch before Halloween. Can't find halloween pics.
Quick shot of the birthday girl turning 2. We had all the fam! Her friends party will be this summer!

AN EXCITING BUT DISAPPOINTING DAY

I will try to make a long story short... Yesterday the President was in town for a round table discussion and a fund raiser for th Arkansas Republican Committee. Knowing this information I invited my niece and nephew over to watch the motorcade to pass by. While we were waiting, a parent came up to us about us being down there and all the cops on every corner (her niece was having a birthday party on the street). Apparently all the parents that were arriving at the party had concerns of what was going on. I told her that the President's motorcade was about to drive by. She left to only return with the party! We all waved at the President's limo and left. Donnie called wanted me to take the camera to him out at the airport so he could take picture of Air Force One. While I was handing him the camera someone called him to tell him that the President was wanting to know who the kids were and wanted to meet them. So as I am speeding home I was making phone calls to get them back out there since the President was going to make an unscheduled stop to see the kids. Again the party was there and my family with the exception of Megan and myself who go stuck it traffic at the bottom of the hill. So here are pics of something I coordinated but wasn't able to get there for. But I am glad that all the kids were there and Mabry Meadors would have a birthday party she will never forget- Priceless! The birthday party had gotten more local and national news than the fund raiser!

Just a goofy moment!
My sister is in the orange shirt about to shake the hands with the President.
All the kids and my nephew Will is in the red shirt next to the President and my niece Annie is being held by her Nana in the far left corner!
Smiling and shaking hands!

A big hug for a little birthday girl!All the kids for a pic with the President!

TRIP TO THE ZOO
We has a wonderful day at the zoo. The weather was perfect! Kerri, Will, Carter, AC, Mason, Erin, Mary Elizabeth, Megan and myself were present. Here are a few pics of everyone. I realized that the only one I didn't have a picture of was Baby Carter...sorry little man! I'll get you next time!!! (or maybe mommy got a picture of you that I can add!) There is also a few pics of the animals we saw. We had a lot of fun. We missed the absent mommies and babes!

Yogurt Spa Bath
Megan LOVES peach yogurt as you can see. I went outside to check the meat on the grill to only return to see Megan covered in yogurt. Enjoy the pics...

Spring Break-Arizona
This is Cathedral Rock in Sedona where we stayed. It was one of amny facinating red rock formations that we viewed everyday.
Her is Megan and i at the Grand Canyon.
Another pic of another side of the Grand Canyon. We were able to get a close view with Donnie's new camera lense...this river is very far from where we were.
Her is Megan with Donnie at Meteor Crator. Talk about a big hole!
Her is another wonderful red rock formation. It might also be Cathedral Rock.

A lot of love from the cousins Will and Clara.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER...CHRISTMAS PICS
Megan had a wonderful second Christmas. She didn't know what to do, but quickly remembered what to do from her birthday. She didn't know what to play with first. After we opened presents we went over to Mamoo's house for a feast! Later that day we graced our presents at Grammy's! Then back over to Mamoo's for leftovers!

Megan's first look at HO HO's visit...
"Is this really mine?"
"No? Really? This is too cool!"
Look at me cruise around this place!
Dude...it's been fun. Give me my bottle and put me to bed!

MEGAN'S BIRTHDAY PARTY WITH FRIENDS

Megan invited some friends to paint ornaments at Firefly. Anna Carol, Kerri, Will, Ashley, Sydney, and Mamoo were there. We missed Davis, Molly and Carson (he was sick), Sarah and Lyla (having family Christmas) and Erin, who had just given birth to Miss Mary Elizabeth! Megan said that it was a good excuse!!! We all enjoyed diving into painting and fellowship.

2008-01-07T21:36:00.000-06:00

MEGAN'S 1ST BIRTHDAY
Megan had a blast on her first birthday. She didn't know what to think. Her Mamoo, Grammy, Aunt Ashley, Uncle Jim, Aunt Melanie, Aunt Marylou, Uncle Tasker, Cousins Will, Clara and Annie were there. We ate some dinner after opening all her wonderful gifts! After our bellies were full Megan dove into her cake (after a little help and encouragement).

Party table in all it's decor....
Cupcakes and banner for the occasion.
Family there to celebrate.

Will had a wonderful birthday party with all that love him around him. We had fun at the Wonder Place playing, painting pictures and eating cake and ice cream. Here were a few pics that I thought were cute!

Sydney was such a good help with Megan and ran around playing with the birthday boy!!

Well I guess Carson and Megan had a moment!

HALLOWEEN 2007
Megan started her Halloween off by only having a 30 min nap at daycare. She still did well. She is my little Pumpkin and loved seeing all the people. We walked around the neighborhood passing out "pumpkin poop" from the Pumpkin. We decided to show Megan off to the grandmothers, therefore missing all the trick or treaters. Can't wait until next year!!!

2007-10-06T20:28:00.000-05:00

MEGAN AT 9 MONTHS

I KEPT SAYING TO MY SELF THAT AI WAS GOING TO "SPELL OUT" EVERYTHING FROM THE CHECK UPS..SO HERE WE GO:

WEIGHT: 21 lbs and 8 ozs (90%) (even though we just went a few days ago b/c you were sick and your weight was 22 lbs 5 ozs) I love my chunky monkey!

LENGTH: 28 inches (75%)

CLOTHES/DIAPERS: She is wearing 12 month clothes (very few 18 months) but mainly 18 month sleepwear. She is wearing size 3 diapers (from Sams which go to 28 pounds-I don't think they will :)) I figure they are the equivalent to size 4.

EATING:We are eating stage 2 foods and solids. You don't like stage 3. You like toast, cheese, cottage cheese, carrots, spiral mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, cheerios, goldfish, and fruits.

SLEEPING:You are in the process of moving your two naps into one. you are now taking a nap in the middle of the day for about 2 hours. Most of the time you crash for about 30 mins-1 hour before or after dinner. Other than that you go down for the night about 8 pm and I have to wake you at around 6:15am. On weekends, you let me sleep as long as I like...you like to play in your crib! Thank You!

DEVELOPMENT: You are on the move crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything. You don't care if it moves or not!!! You are also beginning to stand on your own without holding on to anything. So, I see walking in your very near future! You already have 6 teeth but your seventh has just poked through and the eighth is about to pop through. You have your two top molars that have buds but no sign of them yet! You had your first hair cut over a month ago and need another one. You are always laughing, smiling and interacting with everyone around you!

2007-09-22T20:33:00.001-05:00

WHOOOO PIG SOOOIE
Megan was dressed out to cheer on the HOGS. This was a gift from her Granny Mam. Daddy loved it even though he loves to watch the other teams beat the HOGS. We might be looking at a future Razorback Cheerleader!!!

2007-09-21T17:39:00.001-05:00

WELCOME DAVIS RYAN ATKINS
My close friend Ashley and Ryan (husband) had their bouncing baby boy, Davis. He was 7 pounds 1 ounce and 20 1/2 inches in length. I heard that Ashley was a trooper through a few kinks in her birthing plan. When I say her today she looked wonderful and had that "mom thing" down pat. Congratulations to mommy and daddy! May your road ahead be the most joy est moments of your life!
Now, Davis....I hope you realize how special your mother is...she is an angel in disguise. Love her with all your heart even though she will love you a little more. Love your father too...he is a neat man (and I mean that in more than one sense!) You are his pride and joy...there is nothing you could do wrong. You have many who love you...God Bless.....

2007-09-12T20:24:00.001-05:00

FINALLY SOME PICS WITH GRANNY MAM

I have to sneak the camera out because my mother-in-law hates to have her picture taken! I love watching her with her only granddaughter! She is so wonderful with Megan and Megan loves her SOOOO MUCH!

"Don't take my picture...PLEASE!" (Megan is saying: I'm always up for a pic!)
True understanding of each other...or is it just a stare down?

2007-08-29T22:07:00.001-05:00

MORE FUN WITH DADDY!

2007-08-29T22:05:00.001-05:00

HAIRSPRAY AUDITIONS NEEDED

I was able to get her hair in pigtails! This was the first time and I didn't have the appropriate "tools" for the job...but it works until I could get bows and smaller bands.

I'm so pretty, Oh so pretty!
I know I look cute and having fun!

The aftermath....do I need to say more?

2007-08-29T21:30:00.001-05:00

CAN WE SAY "POOR THING"

Apparently Megan was so tired that she fell asleep jumping. She was asleep by the time the bouncer stopped moving.

Megan is always cute and happy first thing in the morning! I finally caught a few pics!

2007-06-10T19:51:00.001-05:00

IT MUST BE A BABY THING

I know that Lyla has had a habit of sleeping this way and now I have caught Megan doing this more often! Maybe they are thinking that there is too much light to their precious beauty sleep!! We all know that Megan and Lyla are TOO CUTE!!!!

2007-06-10T19:28:00.000-05:00

WE HAVE TEETH!!!!!

Well all that drooling has paid off! The only problem is the drooling has not stopped. She has two more that are getting ready to appear!!! She now has her two bottom and the two top are working themselves down.

2007-05-22T20:38:00.001-05:00

SHOUT OUT FOR LYLA AND SARAH, WILL AND KERRI

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A LITTLE "SPIKE" IN ME!!!
We miss you!!!!!!!
I want to make a special shout to Kerri and Shane who kept Megan during our visitation. To make a long story short the daycare kept the "extras" for Kerri. Shane went to get a bottle from Kroger. Well, leaks, milk on the floor and everyone wet...they got things working with a ziplock bag!!! I owe you everything!!!!! Thanks to all for your support, thoughts and prayers during this difficult time!!!

2007-05-15T05:12:00.000-05:00

2007-05-15T05:02:00.000-05:00

MEGAN'S FIRST TOOTH

Yesterday I noticed that Megan's first tooth had broken the skin!!!!! She has another one that you can see and it is a matter of time that it will break through. We couldn't keep her mouth open long enough to get pictures of the emerging, but I am sure we will be seeing them prominent and proud!!!

2007-04-30T21:19:00.000-05:00

CAN WE SAY RAGA MUFFIN?

These next few pictures are what happens when you leave your child at daycare too long.

Mom, Can I go live in the Falcon Trailer Park?
OH I am a true backwoods ARKANSAN!
Please help me...pray for my recovery....
AHHHHH! Mom took my rubber band out of my hair! Look what happened to it!!!
Do you like the profiles??? I see leather and bikers in her future.

2007-04-30T21:05:00.000-05:00

OUR FIRST TASTE OF FOOD

Well the bib seemed to go well...for the rest of it....keep looking.
What is this again?
You've got to be kidding!! You really think I am going to eat this?!?
GAG!!! GAG!! GAG!!!
NO MORE!!! Please save me!!! I have risen the white flag!

Needless to say we have gotten a lot better about eating our solids since the pictures were taken. We have advanced to green beans and will start peas before the week is out!

2007-04-30T20:47:00.000-05:00

FINALLY AN EASTER PICTURE

My neighbor ET left this CUTE jacket on my door the weekend of Easter. I think it was the cutest thing possible!!! She loved wearing it because it was so soft. We had a nice brunch that I cooked for the family. It was mom, dad, my sister, Megan and me.

2007-04-21T20:56:00.000-05:00

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Ok....can you tell I have been a little busy? Easter picks and others will be up soon since I need to get them from my mother's camera. Update- Megan has been loving daycare. Leave it to daycare to giver her, her first cold. I tried exposing her to everyone (Kroger, Target, Walmart, Sams as well as many other stores and people) and she gets nothing. Send to daycare and she is sick with a nasty upper respiratory infection. Donnie ended up taking her to the doctor and they gave her some meds. They did weigh her and she was over 15 pounds!!!! (leave it to men to not remember the ounces) We go for our 4 month check up on Monday. Pray for me since Donnie can't be there I will have to endure the pain of watching Megan get 4 shots by myself. I will let you know how it all goes and hopefully I will have the pictures or some pictures!

2007-03-31T15:37:00.000-05:00

WELCOME TO THE WORLD CARSON

Congratulations to Molly, Sydney and Cameron for the birth of their baby boy!!! Carson was born at 1:58pm on March 30th at Baptist Hospital. He weighed 7 pounds and 15 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. Carson was so cute and small!!! Megan got to meet one of her new buddies in crime! We would like to welcome Carson to the world as well as him and Molly to the 'Mommy Group'!!!

Thanks Kerri for the picture that I copied from your blog!!!!! Smart thinking with the camera phone!

2007-03-21T22:10:00.000-05:00

Garvan Gardens- A Day with my Peeps!

The only picture where Will, Lyla and Megan are looking at the camera.
CUTE PIC!!! (But doesn't that look like trouble...)
Will posing in already trampled tulips! Handsome boy!!!
Lyla is ready for her close-up!
Megan is wanting to know where her BUMBO is...

Garvan Gardens were beautiful. There were tons of flowers blooming and I am sure they all will be even prettier in a couple of weeks. The pathways were not the most stroller friendly but the kids didn't mind considering they all went to sleep. They have several little gardens, a train garden, and a fabulous new chapel that resembles Thorn Crown Chapel. Mommies decided since we did so much walking that we would end out trip with some El Chico!

2 MONTH DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT

Megan went to the doctor's yesterday. The doctor took one look at her and said BIG BABY!!! She was 12.5 pounds putting her in the 90th percentile in weight. She grew from 21 5/8 to 22 3/4 in length (from 50th to 75th percentile in length). Megan had to get 4 vaccinations. She was brave through the first two, only crying normally. But when they switched legs to do the other two shots you would have thought she was about to sit up and slap the nurse. A BLOOD CURDLING CRY came from her mouth as she looked straight at me. I couldn't take it!!! I had to turn around and brush away the tears. Overall I think Megan did better with it than I did. I have two months to prepare my self for this again...

Megan has decided that laying around is boring and that it is time to hit the gym. Floor time is the way to feel the burn and turn those fat rolls into muscle!!!

HAPPY VALENTINES!!

Donnie, Megan, and I went to D'Carlo's to celebrate our first Valentine's together. She was the belle at the ball. Everyone around us had to see her and know all about her. Of course after taking her out of her car seat she did not want to go back in. I was very close in asking the lady that wanted to see her to hold her while I ate dinner. :) But I didn't. I used my crafty new skill of eating and balancing a baby!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful and loving Valentine's Day!!

Updating Pregnancy to Birth

Well, I have decided to keep this going and up date about 8 months worth of "stuff" over the next few days. The pregnancy went wonderfully and I counldn't have asked for anything better. The only problem that occured was some high blood pressure the last month of pregnancy. This caused me to stay in bed for a month. Each week that I visited the doctor didn't seem to give me hope that she was going to come any day soon. The doctor finally scheduled a date to induce.

Donnie and I went to the hospital at 9 pm on Monday, December 18th to begin the process. the next morning they started the pitocin and broke my water. the day went by and nothing was happening. After a non-eventful day the doctor decides to do a C-section since time was running out.

Megan faith was born at 12:40am on Wednesday, December 20, 2006. Her weight at birth was 8 pounds 1 ounce and 19 3/4 in length. We were able to bring her home on that Friday...Just in time for Christmas!!!!!

Well I am pregnant! On April 13th I became curious about whether I was pregnant or not. On April 14th I woke early with Donnie wondering even more. Pregnant thoughts consumed me until Donnie went to work. I took the home pregnancy test and the pregnant word immediately popped up. I went back to bed and waited about 3 minutes. I went back to look and there was still not a "Not" in front of the pregnant. I went back to bed and waited about 8 minutes more. Finally I went back and realized that the "Not" was not going to show up. Now I didn't know what to do or how to tell Donnie. After trying to go to sleep, looking on the internet and pacing I called Donnie at work. Due to this early nature he automatically thought that there was something wrong. After chit-chat I finally told him that the "Not" never showed up. There was not much response. :)
