Soccer Mom

For the past 9 weeks we have had soccer practice and soccer games. Sadly, this past Monday was the next to last game and I've got news for anyone who wasn't there to witness it. William scored a Goal!! Yes, my little William scored a goal and I wish I had video of that moment. Thanks to me, my memory card reached it's max, right before he scored! If you ask him, he would be glad to tell you how it happened every time. Of course, we are so very proud of him, but we have been proud long before he even new what Soccer was. He makes me smile every time I watch him play. He seems so grown in pictures, yet in my eyes still so small. Oh, how do I make him stay this little and innocent? I wish I could sometimes... )-:

Will's last game is this coming Saturday. Afterwards, they will have a big pizza party and Trophy Awards. Will is really looking forward to it. I have to admit, that every soccer practice was torturing HOT on me, but I would do it all over again tomorrow, just to see him smiling waiting for Monday to come around. I guess I have proudly become a Soccer mom after all! I have been blessed with two beautiful, intelligent boys and one more on the way just makes me feel overjoyed and excited. Adam and I look forward to taking on this army of boys and having tons of fun along the way!

Very proud grandparents have not missed a game! We Love You!

By the way, I'm now 36 weeks pregnant and happy that baby is already positioned for delivery. I received my last ultrasound and he seems to be doing great. Weighing at about 6 1/2 lbs, this picture truly shows off his adorable cheeks, lips and nose!

33 Weeks

Hello everyone (-:

Yes, I have reached the beginning of my eighth month. Yay! How exciting! I still can't believe how quickly I got here. At this point, I can't sleep at night, I move much slower than I want to, and I run out of breath constantly. I had a recent ultrasound or may I say, an unexpected ultrasound. Apparently, my belly is measuring 2 inches bigger than it should. I know right, what a "Shocker" (I always appear bigger than normal). But at this point, any excuse to get an ultrasound is perfectly fine with me. I love watching baby Luke on the screen and according to my nurse, everything seems to look great. I guess I just have a huge tummy after all.

*how precious*

Luke Ryan

Sweet Baby weights 4 1/2 lbs (Come on... Big Baby!). He also seems to want to be a Soccer player, just like his Big brother Will.

Hello Again...

I think is safe to say that we are having one of the busiest summers, but should I say that before baby Luke gets here?/?. Probably not. I guess I can't really blame it on a hectic schedule because we all have busy life's. Making up excuses at this point doesn't really work anymore. So, although late, I think you are still happy for me to share with you all the fun that we are having along with the craziness.

We visited my parents in Charleston for a couple of days and took the boys to the beach, where the tides were strong, but so much fun!

Will made a road for his plastic car.

Where the boys are standing Adam took me on our second date.

Looking for big boats.

I love them so.

We are relaxing, while Will takes our picture.(he seems to be getting good at it too!)

Yes, I made Will pose for this picture...(ha ha)

29 weeks and SO ready!

All they needed were their pirate hats. they got into sword fighting!

This was on August 16Th. Will's 1st day of School.

Ready for K-4 showing off his new backpack...

Mario and Luigi


Here he is after his first Soccer Game. He was very proud to recieve a white star, which stands for Most Christianlike player! Yay!

Will is #9.

Fun Times

Where do I begin?

So far, we are having an awesome summer!!!

Matthew, Cacey, Elijah and baby Sophia came down to visit from Connecticut and now officially Will has started Soccer practice.

I took pictures of our summer vacation with our family, we are all so happy:)

One of my favorite pictures.

Aunt Amy and cousin Will happy to hold baby Sophia.

Adam and baby Sophia...*so sweet*

Outdoor blast!

Jack LOVES baseball. Jack says" see mommy, I catch the ball"

Will and Jack enjoyed holding Sophia. I think they"ll do great with Luke!

Will had so much with Elijah in Nana's pool.


My little Surfer.

Cousin Elijah stayed over at out house one night and it was great having him.

The boys wearing backpacks full of toys.

They did everything together. Played music, built an awesome train track & built an airplane.

The next day we took Elijah to the fire station.

They got to see a firetruck going on a call. Wish we had more pictures. The boys were adorable!



Sweet Elijah & baby Sophia. We already miss them!

Eating Ice Cream together...Ah, Sweet Memories

So this is how I look holding a baby girl. My beautiful niece is an Angel.

Here's Will at his first Soccer practice. He has been anticipating this day and he seemed to have loved it. Although it was torture heat out there, it was all worth it watching him play. I think he is already a wonderful soccer player!






Who said he looks tired?/?

24 Weeks

Six months and feeling ready to have this baby?/?. Well, of course not literally, but very close. I have to admit, I had been feeling great until these past 2 weeks, where I have been dragging and feeling moody! With both kids full of energy from sunrise to sunset, wonderful house chores, and Adam working 48 hours at a time, my legs and hips have been affected!

All in all, I'm excited about meeting baby Luke. I shop for him every chance I get and will begin preparing his room this coming week. I guess I should start by kicking Jack out of his room. Talk about bold and nerve wrecking, yes, that is Will and Jack sharing a room together. We have been thinking about it for a while now and I believe that the time has come:-).

As to decorating Luke's room, we will stay simple and classic. Although, I have been really into monogramming everything! I can't wait to post pictures of all our rearrangements. Meanwhile, I have a Doctors appointment in 2 weeks and a glucose screening. I pray and hope that everything is great and well with baby Luke!

Red White and Blueberries

This year we took the boys out for a picnic and the fireworks show. We were there for at least 3 hours waiting for it to get dark and for the concert to be over. We took cheeseburgers, grapes, and pudding and we surely enjoyed it!

waiting...

& waiting...

Although the boys ended up getting to bed at 11, they had a fabulous time relaxing under the stars and watching the show.

I have to say, making this cake with boys was a lot of fun!!

Will decorated, while Jack would eat it.

What a great way to end our Celebration...

Eating CAKE!

God Bless America!
