My Sweet, Sweet Doctor!!

I Love my OB/GYN, Dr. Meredith Travelstead!! She is the sweetest, most precious little person! I am so blessed to have had her deliver all 3 of my precious babies! Although, she almost missed little Brantley-haha!

Sweetness!





Our little Brantley is growing so fast! He is such a sweetheart, and the kids absolutely adore him! He brings so much joy to our lives! Each day is a new adventure!

So Tiny!

Just thought this picture was funny! It really shows just how tiny this littlle guy is! Brantley at 3 weeks.

Unwanted Guest

So I was up for a 5am feeding one morning and went into the kitchen for something and found this horrifying creature staring at me through the window! It scared me to death!! It looked so evil! I did not like it at all! I took a picture through the window because I was scared to go outside near it-haha! It really looks freaky up close!

Brantley's 1st Stroll

I'm sure you all know by reading my blog that I'm not one to sit still or lay around the house all day! I seriously cleaned house & did laundry the day I got home from the hospital, and have been going non-stop ever since! I think that my body is so relieved not to be sick & pregnant anymore! I got the ok from my sweet Dr to take a casual stroll around the block each day with Brantley, and of course, I did just that! He soaked up a little sun rays and I enjoyed the fresh air. The kids were super excited that we all strolled together! We barely made it around the block & back to the house, and it started raining! I guess that was God's way of keeping me from over doing it & going around the block twice-haha!

Sweet Sleeping Angel

Brantley at 2 weeks

It's so amazing to have a baby around the house again! I just catch myself sitting and staring at Brantley while the kids are at school! I am so overwhelmed with God's amazing love every time I look at this sweet little angel! What an awesome and mighty God we serve!!!

Proud Big Sister!


These pictures are so precious to me! Riley Kate absolutely adores Baby Brantley! We are so happy & blessed to have him in our family! Due to the fact that Riley Kate is um, well, a bit of a drama queen at times, we were a little worried about how she would react, but she has done nothing but help & love on her little baby brother!

OUR ADDICTION!!

OUR ADDICTION!!
After the birth of Grayton, Jason and I began running and became highly addicted!! I soon made my first jogging stroller purchase, The Tike Tech all terrain single jogger. It was wonderful until I needed another seat for Riley Kate. I got this Dreamer Design off of ebay, and I love it! I call it my freedom and my sanity because I can load up the kids and go running whenever I feel like it! The kids love to stroll. They usually ask to go. We have run several races just for fun--Delta Jubilee 5K, Juke Joint Festival 5K, St. Jude 1/2 Marathon, Double Decker 10K, 300 Oaks 10K, etc. We love to run and if there is a race we can make it to, we'll run it!! We are running about 4 to 5 miles a day now with long runs of 7 to 12 miles on the weekends!

A LITTLE HOBBY OF MINE

A LITTLE HOBBY OF MINE
Since Grayton's 1st birthday, I have ventured out a bit and started baking and creating my kid's birthday cakes each year. Also, I am the homeroom mother for Grayton's class, so I am trying to get creative with my baking. I am not very good at it, but it is so much fun!! If anyone has any new cute ideas, share them with me.
