And 1 makes 4!!

Three months down, six more to go; we are having baby number two! Brye and I are very excited and sadly, Bexley isn't sure what a "big brother" really is yet. He will find out soon enough and I'm not sure if it's going to be easy. He is so jealous of the dog being in my lap, I don't know what he'll do with a baby. However, he loves his cousin, Baby Joie, so I'm hoping for the best.

Anyway, Baby 2 is due May 8, 2009, on my neice Jorja's third birthday. Brye and I are still struggling on whether I'm to go back to work or stay home. I never imagined myself being a stay at home mom, but a non-profit organization doesn't really pay the daycare bill. I have to admit being a mother of two is a lot scarier than just a mother of one. Will I really loves this one as much as I love Bexley? Can I juggle two year old tantrums and newborn cries at the same time?

The other side to all this is that I no longer have my mom to lean on and ask questions. She'd be the one to reassure me of course you will love the second as much as the first. She'd be the one who was there to catch me when I felt like I was falling. I know she'll be there, just not the way I want her there. I actually had a dream the other night that I went to a prenatal appointment and the baby's heartbeat was irregular and I was hospitalized. My mom was there. I guess that is God's way of reminding me she really hasn't left me; she's here.

Thankfully I have a fabulous husband and three wonderful sisters that I know will be here for me and a mother in law that I'm sure will be here too. It is wonderful to have such a great family.

Birthday's at the Pumpkin Patch

Jordan is starting off right. The entire weekend focused around her birthday; just like her Aunt Jaime likes to do. We started off with a Friday night dinner at Chuck E Cheese, then spent the day Saturday at the Pumpkin Patch. Sunday morning we had breakfast at Julie's and watched football all day. The cousins, with the exception of Kyler and Baby Joie, got to hang out with each other as did three of the four sisters. We missed you Jennifer. Oh, and the brother's in law too. It was a good weekend.

Enjoying the hayride

Aren't we lucky no one was allergic to hay?!

If he ends up at UT, I'm bribing him with this picture someday.

Feeding goats!

My beautiful little boy!

Jordan and Jorja talked to each other the entire time.

The bouncehouse was the hit of the day.

Did anyone see any pumpkins? Well if the kids would be still long enough to get a good picture. . .

"Come on Bex, look at momma."

"Bexley, I'm over here."

"Seriously, will no one pose for a pumpkin picture?"

Big Tex 2008

If you can believe this, I had never been the State Fair until now! We decided a spare the moment trip on a beautiful Sunday afternoon would be great family time after my business weekend in Austin. Bex had his first funnel cake, roller coaster, and of course that huge and I have to say, very scary ferris wheel. Bexley loved it while I got a little more quesy every inch up. It was a great day!

Bexley loved this more than we did. It was so high!!

He wasn't quite sure at first, but really loved it!

6th Photo in 6th File

I've decided my first photo posting could only be the latest trend. However, I have a lot of explaining to do. First of all for those of you who don't know Brye, he can be very anal. Our files are sorted alphabetically, not chronologically. Now for the photo explanation. When we lived in England a comedian by the name of Peter Kay redid a old song titled "Is This The Way to Amarillo". Somehow it got very popular in London and when all our friends realized we used to live in Amarillo, they became fascinated. Not to mention they also thought Brye ironically looked like Peter Kay. So on one of our trips home, we took this picture to share with our British mates. So here it is.

If I Have To

Okay, so I can barely keep up with my myspace page and somehow I was talked into starting this blog. Thanks to Jammi and all my sisters having one, I now have no choice. So here it is and we'll see how it goes.

My beautiful and precious little boy got his first "no-no" report at daycare today. He hit another child in the face with a puzzle. Where does he learn these things? So for punishment he did not get to watch Backyardigans when he got home from school. It was absolute torture; more so for me I think. I don't know if I'll ever get used to being mean.
