July 4th, 2012

Our 4th was pretty layed back this year. We were in Picayune with family, had a huge lunch,

played games with the kids, vegged a bit, then took the kids to watch

the firework show. It lasted 45 min. long!

By the time it was done, all the kiddlets were exhausted and

zonked out on the way home!

Such a easy way to get the kids to bed!

she refuses to wear shoes at grandma's house.

we have to make sure she gets a good bath at the end of the day!

I am soooo behind!

We have had family here since the weekend of June 15th and for the most part they've stayed

in Picayune with my in-laws, so that's we we've been for the last month.

(except for one of those weeks)

We have been on the go!

And this week, Thursday to be exact, we're leaving for Utah!

I'm so excited and can hardly wait,

BUT

we are driving.

I'm going to be making the trek with my sister-in-law Misty & her 4 kids.

So it will be Misty and I with 6 kids!

Pray for us!!

So here's just a bit of what we've been up too.

Lots of pictures ahead (:

 in the 5 yrs we've been married.}

where have I been?

Seriously, you really want to know?

Most days I'm cuddled up on either my couch or bed, watching the kiddlets play

while this is happening inside of me!

I know right. Ya'll think we're crazy.

Well, we are.

We found out a week before Marx turned one, so yeah, I cried a lot.

I know how blessed I am.

I know this is a sweet, precious little baby that my dear hubby and I made.

BUT

I had just made it through the 1st year of my CRY ALL THE TIME baby.

AND

It's due on December 24th, and after missing the past 2 years of Christmas at home,

we were planning on going home. Not anymore!

AND

I'm going to be chubby prego when I go home for the summer....

So I was a bit upset.

Now, we're 12 weeks into this and I can smile.

I'm hoping for another little boy since Marx and this one will only be 21 months apart.

They'd be the best of buds.

But, we're ready for either.

I just keep thinking, I'll be so young when we're done having kids...

(cause let's face it, right now, all I'm thinking is "this is the LAST one!")

We'll see in a couple years.

As for now, 3 sounds great! (:
