As promised....

Here are a few pictures from Aiden's room. Please notice the precious 2 year old that tried her hardest to be in each and every picture:)

It's Official!

I am the world's worst blogger! I love to read other people's blogs, I love how it reflects their heart and what is going on in their life and family. I love to talk to the computer screen as I read their blogs and say how much I enjoy reading their blog or wish I could cook like them, or was creative like they were, or could decorate like they can and how much I am  usually in the same position that they are in when it comes to raising a 2 year old. But, when it comes time for me to sit in front of the computer and write something on MY blog, I can't think of anything interesting to type or anything worth sharing on the World Wide Web! All I can think about is other people's blogs and how I wish I would have thought about writing what they wrote.


I am really good at posting pictures though.......especially when I have this adorable little girl to take pictures of (and the HOT hubby too!!!)........ We  enjoyed a nice Saturday together as a family of 3(well, i guess you could say 4. Aiden tagged along as well) last weekend with breakfast at Cracker Barrel and a visit to the Zoo! ENJOY!!!!!!!!

I have two last things to hang on the wall in Aiden's room and then his room is complete. I promise to post pictures as soon as they get on the wall. :)

Aiden's Room

I have been busy making lists, shopping, and getting things organized around this house for weeks to be all prepared for my little boy's arrival in December. I pretty much nest during the entire 9 months of pregnancy and LOVE it! We decided to name our boy Aiden Jakob. Aiden is just a name that Eric and I both liked and agreed upon. It means "little fighter". Jakob is Eric's middle name and we knew that we wanted it to be our son's middle name because Brantley has my middle name, Renee.

My mom came and stayed with Brantley and me this weekend so we were able to get several projects completed for Aiden Jakob's room. My mom is probably one of the most talented people I know on the face of this earth! Thought I would share a couple of our completed projects with you! I will post more pictures once the room is complete.

These are simple frames and I just covered the plain, boring, white mattes with some leftover curtain and pillow fabric.

 Box valance for the window in the room.

 Personalized pillow for the rocker.

 A couple of pillows for the crib. Don't worry people I am not keeping them in the crib when the kid sleeps. They are only in there for decorations right now.

 These are embroidery hoops that we spray painted an almond color and then put several different coordinating fabrics in them to put on the wall above the crib. I got this idea from an adorable store in Colorado that my friend, Christy, and I visited.

Happy Birthday B!!

Happy Birthday to the little girl who brings joy and laughter to our hearts! We hope your birthday was great fun and that you enjoyed being around all of your family and friends! We love you so much Brantley Renee!

Please stop growing up so fast!

Love,

Daddy and Mommy

IT'S A........

BOY!!!!!

Eric, Brantley, and I are thrilled to announce that we will be welcoming a little baby BOY into our family around December 3rd. We had our ultrasound this morning and after about an hour of checking out each and every little part of his body and watching him move all around, the announcement came that it was a precious and healthy baby boy! Everything looks great and he weighs about 11oz. so far. Below are a few of the bajillion pictures that they gave us of our sweet boy! We do not have a name 

right now, but hope to share one in the next couple of weeks. 

Thank you for praying for all of us and rejoicing with us in this miracle:)

 Here he is saying "Hi" to his big sister!

  Two of the sweetest little feet I have ever seen!

Showing off his muscles for Mommy and Daddy!

MIA

I apologize that I have been away from the blogging scene for so long. Our summer has been great fun, but very busy. I thought I would share a couple of pictures to hold you over a little longer until things slow down just a bit.


My sweet almost 2 year old (sniff!sniff!) LOVES bubbles and being outside. She doesn't seem to care that it is a 100 degrees outside!

We find out on July 11th if sweet Baby Soong #2 is a boy or girl! Until then........

"Baby Belly"

That's what you will hear my little almost 2 year old (sniff sniff!) say if you are to ask her what is in her Mommy's belly. If you take it a step further and ask her if it is a baby brother or baby sister she will quickly respond with, "baby sister". Well, we will just have to see about that one in a couple of months.

Eric and I are thrilled to share the news that we will be expecting our second sweet little bundle around December 3rd. I am 11 and a half weeks pregnant as of today. Things are going wonderful. Thankfully I had a really smooth pregnancy with Brantley and so far this one seems to be taking the same path. I am not showing yet, but I certainly have those moments during the day that I just feel fat.

Eric and I (and my mommy) have known since the first week of April, but wanted to keep it on the hush hush until we were able to take a first glimpse of our precious baby and hear the wonderful sound of a heartbeat. We were able to take care of all of that last week and have been sharing the wonderful news ever since. Brantley even got to wear her" I'm going to be a BIG SISTER!" shirt to church on Sunday.

Here is the first of many pictures of our second little blessing!

( I am so sorry for the sideways picture. I have rotated it a bajillion times, but it insists on being this way!)
