11 Days Till My Little Boy's 2nd Birthday

Well I didn't think my first post would be about how much I just cried over the fact that my firstborn will be 2 in eleven days! I never dreamed that I would have so many emotions about Jackson turning two. I mean when he turned one I was so excited to be at that stage with him. Now a year later I am planning his second party and I feel like he is growing up so quickly and time is just flying by and I am trying to grasp each last moment I can while he is still little. I feel like I am going to wake up and he will be 18! Is that insane or what?

Last night he fell asleep in my arms while I was rocking him and I just rocked him for a good long while and tried to burn the memory in my head. Then tonight I was rocking him again and I just had big tears streaming down my face as I realized how blessed I am to have such an awesome little boy and how proud I already am of the sweet spirit in him. I don't know why but it seems like these past few days have been so sweet. I just want to burn the details in my memory for times in the future when he is older and "Momma" isn't the most awesome woman in the world to him.

Wow I am so overwhelmed with thankfulness right now for the reward and gift God has given me in my boys and how blessed I am by my Heavenly Father. I never would have dreamed that God would have chosen me to be Jackson and Coleman's mom. God I am so thankful and so in awe to be chosen by you to be their mother.

Well, my contacts are a blurry mess and it is getting very hard to type and read what I am writing for the tears so I guess this wraps up my thoughts for the night. In the words of Jackson...

C-ya!

Operator Error!!!!

Okay so I got the mobile app thinking that I might find time to post more stories and thoughts and some how I made two old post into drafts!  Since this blog is basically a family journal for me and I want to keep each post I am reposting them.  So when you see stories about babies don't think we have had a time warp!  It is just me reposting old post so I don't lose them!

What a morning!!!!

Original Post 8/30/2008 It is just now 8:11 AM and my morning has already been chaotic! I woke up to Coleman crying ready to eat at 5:30....This is 30 minutes after I should have been up getting ready. I was just too tired I guess because I never heard the alarm clock. So out of bed I jump and run downstairs and get a bottle for Coleman and realize that Jackson is now crying too. Where is Trey in all this?!?!?! Still asleep! How is it that a mom hears every cry and a dad has selective hearing? At this point I run back upstairs and get Trey awake and tell him he has to feed Coleman and then I go to check on Jackson and he is hungry so back downstairs we go with sheep, his stuffed animal that is his best friend to cozy up to at night. We get downstairs and he wants a banana and some milk. I get all this together and then we start back upstairs and I see a bunny outside the house through one of the sidelights next to the door and I stop everything because I know Jackson would love to se...

5:22

Sorry for the delay in posting this as a sequel to my last post on May 22 nd . I got home on that particular Friday night and I laid down with Jackson to try and get him to sleep and the verse Galatians 5:22 popped in my head. I thought that was weird since I had woke up at 5:22 that morning...and as I put it together today...it was the 5 th month and the 22 nd day! Coincidence? I think not. So being that I am the mom of two little ones. I ended up collapsing and waking up at 5:22 Saturday morning. My first reaction was OH NO how did I sleep in here all night? This is not good. Jackson will expect this! Where is Trey? Why didn't he wake me up? Then I realize it is 5:22 AM and God is saying Galatians 5:22 in my Student bible that moved with me to Nashville. So at this point I go to the bonus room open up the bible to Galatians and read a section on the fruits of the spirit and then I go to the verses and find "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindne...
