Presenting:........Talon Luke Ashley

Our third beautiful baby boy!!!!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever have another baby! We didn't think we would have another, but God gave us an unexpected blessing. Now, life wouldn't be complete without him. Talon is such a good baby. He is not a whiny baby. He cries when he's dirty (sometimes), sometimes when he has tummy trouble, and when he's hungry (I mean, wake from a dead sleep to screaming, he wants his food now!) Otherwise he's very good.
We went from two sweet beautiful boys to three and I wouldn't change it. Actually we had a newborn and a teenager in the same week. Jordan turned 13 on May 14th. We are blessed that Jordan is a very good kid and not your typical teen. He is being great with Talon. He has always been a great big brother to Carter, but it's different with him being older this time. He has really been helping me out and it's so cute to walk in the room and him be sitting and gazing at the baby.
Carter is having the privilege of being a big brother for the first time. Even though he has had a couple of moments when I have had to reassure him that I love all of my boys the same, he is really being great with the baby. He loves to sit and hold him and is forever sneaking in and kissing the baby wherever he is (even if he's peacefully sleeping for the night. (well at least a few hours til it's time to eat again) I have to keep telling him to get a quick soft kiss, because I guess in his eyes a lingering noisy harder kiss is better!)
Kevin and I are both in awe once again of God's love and we are so thankful for 3 healthy boys. A month ago I couldn't imagine life with another baby and now I couldn't imagine a life without all three of the boys.

Well I will add some pictures so you all can enjoy him too!

Will I evet get everything done?

That's the question. I have so much to do and I want to get it done, but I can't seem to get it done. I am so super tired all the time and I've been sick for like a month. I try to do a lot but after a little while I'm not feeling well! I guess it will get done...:....................eventually.

My ever entertaining Carter!!!!!

The pictures are not of the day I'm gonna tell you about, but it shows how crazy Carter can be. Some of them were with my phone so they might not be the greatest, but they show his personality. If its a Mohawk, goggles with winter gear or playing a cowboy by sticking a napkin (from the restaurant you are eating at)in your ears and using it as a bandanna..........It's Carter and he's mine.....Oh yeah and I'm loving it.

Now to the story. Kevin took the boys fishing Saturday. Carter wanted to keep all the fish, even the small little guys. Kevin had thrown a few up on the bank, but decided he needed to get them in the water; so his tackle box was a little away from where they were standing, so he went to get the stringer, leaving Carter to "Watch" the fish. On his way back he said he looked and Carter was down on his knees by the fish. So Kevin asked him what he was doing......and in a way that is only Carter's, he said, "I was spitting on them so they would stay alive." Ha Ha...So Cute. Kevin said he picked them up and they were covered. Evidently Carter had spit on them the whole time Kevin was away. I had to laugh.

The little things in life........

Home with 2 sick boys.

Wow, its been a long 4 days! Thursday Carter woke up feeling bad, so he stayed home from school. No throwing up, just fever and feeling bad. We were out of school Friday which ended up being a good thing since Jordan got sick too. They have had high fevers and congestion and sore throats. They have felt terrible! Laying around and sleeping a lot and not eating much. I ended up having to give Jordan a breathing treatment because he was having a hard time breathing. Carter has taken this sickness as a way to snuggle with mommy. I have held him so much in the last 4 days. Kevin is worried about me getting sick, but moms do what moms have to do and really, I was living it up! I mean Carters getting bigger and one day he won't let me hold him when he's sick.
Take Jordan for example, I offered to hold Jordan (or at least let him lean against me) but he didn't want to. He still let's me hug him and give him a goodbye kiss but its not very often I get to "hold" him.
Anyway they DO NOT feel good. On a funny note, Carter has decided since he's sick he gets his way and we have to do everything he says. lol. Jordan wanted something to eat and Carter was in my lap. So I told him to get up so I could get Jordan something. He said, " Bubba is 12 and I'm 8". Another words......take care of me not him. lol. I had to tell him that Jordan was my baby too and I had to take care of him too!. This is only one of the many things he's said/demanded in the last few days.
I am so tired. I told Kevin last night that he had to take over because I was mentally exhausted. Which didn't work the way I wanted it to since Kevin HATES germs! Nobody takes care of them like mommy does! lol.
Well not very exciting, but my life anyway.

Blessings!!!!!!

So I am sitting here feeling my precious baby boy kick, and I'm loving it!!!!! I always loved carrying a baby but figured I wouldn't have those feelings again. God had different plans and I'm so glad he did. I'm sure in time, I'll feel crazy with all the boys in the house, but right now I am loving this feeling. (Don't get me wrong when I say I'll be crazy, I'll love the crazyness too! I already do!) We are pretty sure of a name, but I won't be telling until we are 100%. Carter wants to pick a name because Jordan picked Carter out for him. So we will see. Well just loving my life......Baby kicking, Carter running in and out of the room, and Kevin teaching Jordan to play the bass guitar.......Blessings!!!!!

After two boys.................it's.......................

Another boy! We are so excited!!!!!

We have had 2 ultrasounds in the last couple of weeks. The first one we had the technician said she was sure, but we did not have our proof. So we elected to do another one, and this time it was obvious! We wanted to make sure since we will have to get all new baby stuff since we didn't plan on having more kids.

The second ultrasound was super cool! They switched to 3d/4d while they were doing it and we actually got to see the cute little sweetie! I was only 20 1/2 weeks so it was earlier than you normally get to do them, so he didn't have the fat to see exactly what he looked like but it was still so sweet! He was holding his hands in little fist close to his face! Aww...

Most importantly, everything looked great! You can actually see his little fingers! We will have another ultrasound that has 3d/4d shots somewhere around 30 weeks so I am really excited to see who he looks like. Jordan and Carter looked so different as babies so I'm anxious to see if he will look like one of them or have his own look.

We have yet to definatly pick out a name. We have a few we are throwing around, and as soon as we think its definate, we second guess ourselves. So anyone with name suggestions, please comment. Hopefully before long I can call my little guy by his name. I have thought a couple of times, that he may be here before we decide. :)

I also know that I am way outnumbered! ha ha Not a day goes by that I am not doing boy things, washing boy cloths, watching boy things on tv, or cleaning boy toliets (by far one of my worst things to do!) But oh well, at least I can get my nieces or sisters to do girly things with me. I wouldn't trade my boys for anything..!!!!

It has been forever since I blogged last.....but maybe I'll do better now. Who knows!! I'm sure my life is not the most interesting, but it's mine and I LOVE IT!!!

Am I crazy or what?

I'm just.....a ball of emotions and people that don't think do NOT help! I don't remember being this way with the boys but then again people were different or maybe they actually thought more then. Who knows!
