Climbing Mountains

2010-08-06T22:26:00.003-05:00

Is what I feel like I have been doing for the last month. It's funny- I always seem to kinda go through life like a person walking down the sidewalk whistling a tune, enjoying the fresh air, and thinking how much at peace I am and am never aware of the sinkhole I am about to fall into. And in hind sight, I am thinking, "Why weren't you paying better attention, you idiot!" I feel like I am

Late Night Writes..

2010-07-09T22:44:00.002-05:00

I don't know what it is about late at night, but I somehow find the most inspiration for writing at this time. The kids are in bed and for once there is peace and quiet in an otherwise chaotic environment. I have never been particularly good at handling chaos and with two small boys, that's all life seems to be lately. I love my boys.I was looking back over some of my blog archives and laughing.

The "No-No" Years

2010-07-06T17:30:00.002-05:00

That is what I like to call the stage Jayce is in. It seems like these are the only words I will be saying over the next year or two. "No Jayce." "Don't touch that Jayce." "Leave that alone Jayce." "Jayce! No!!" What's bad is that he isn't even mobile yet. Most kids by this time are crawling around and cruising around the furniture, but Jayce doesn't even TRY to do any of that. And yet, he can

Scatterbrained

2010-07-01T20:29:00.003-05:00

I don't know what the deal is with me lately, but I am so scatterbrained. I would blame it on summer fever but I think it has been going on for far longer than that. In fact, I think it goes back to when I had Jayce. Seems like a lot of things changed for me since I have had him... I must have been really unhealthy during my pregnancy or something. That or I got rid of pregnancy but didn't

Picking Up Where We Left Off

2010-06-26T18:00:00.006-05:00

Is kinda what I am trying to do here. Not really sure where to start considering I have been out of the blogging loop for what?... 8 1/2 months now! WOW! So what's been happening for the past 8 months you ask? Well, let's see...1) Ashton went from 3 to 4 and will be starting school in August, which makes me want to throw up a little bit.2) Jayce went from a teeny little one to my big chunky 9

Pumpkin Carving

2009-10-11T22:53:00.004-05:00

A woman was asked by a co-worker, "What is it like to be a Christian?" The co-worker replied, "It is like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then he cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc., and then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to

Flyin' High (at the Tulsa State Fair)

2009-10-07T12:25:00.003-05:00

Yesterday it was 2 for 1 day at the fair so we decided to go for a few hours. We ate some fair food, played some games, and Ashton rode a few rides. It was a good time (if not a little expensive!). Here are some pics...

1 Week Old!

2009-09-24T13:02:00.003-05:00

WOW! What a week! My little Jayce is already a week old. He is such a precious little guy. You would think when you already have a kid that you wouldn't be surprised at how much you love them but honestly it is amazing. He is definitely different than Ashton- a little more of a challenge in some areas, easier in others but either way I love, love, love him! I hope everyone has seen pics on

It's Baby Day!!

We are leaving to go meet our new baby boy. Can't wait to see what he looks like!

FYI

I have a "reservation" at the hospital on September 17 at 6:00am to be induced if I haven't had the baby before then. Just thought you guys may wanna know! Hopefully he will come sooner.

Jayce's Room

2009-08-23T18:59:00.003-05:00

We finally got the baby's room done up enough to post some pictures. We are going to put some pictures up of him after he is born so there is still some work to do but here is the main idea.This shelf will have some other things on it as well. I hope you can tell something about it. I am really pleased with the way it turned out. If you can't tell enough by the pictures you are welcome to come

Okay- Aaron and I have agonized over coming up with a name for this little one. I'm sure you have noticed by my lack of posting the name... Anyways, we have been settled on Jayce for quite some time but are having a hard time fitting a middle name with it. We have narrowed it down to 2 and just simply cannot settle on one. I have posted a poll so if you are interested, feel free to cast your

My 6 (almost 7) Month Bump

2009-06-18T22:25:00.005-05:00

I just realized that my due date is exactly 3 months from today. In honor of that I decided to put a pic of my belly up. You'll have to overlook the roughness- I'm just getting ready to head off to bed and spontaneously decided to do this! Now before you ask... yes, I still have 3 more months and NO I am not having more than one! As you can see I have resorted to wearing Aaron's shirts to bed

Baby's Room So Far and Our Day of Fun

2009-05-25T17:54:00.005-05:00

I decided to go ahead and post some before and after's of the baby's room since we painted and put moulding up. Before. Well, I actually forgot to take a picture of it before Aaron put primer on it so it is kind of before!Aaron was excited to paint!!Finally the hard part is DONE! It was a very long process! I know the colors don't really scream BABY but hopefully it will when we get the nursery

Not A Post

2009-05-17T19:05:00.002-05:00

Okay, I had to post something just to get that cheeseburger off of my screen! I really don't have a whole lot to say. Aaron has worked all weekend so it's been kind of laid back and un-exciting. We did go buy paint for the baby's room. Will be working on that next weekend... I will be sure to post before and afters- it is going to be quite dramatic! Otherwise, hope everyone had a good weekend!

I'm STARVING

2009-05-12T09:51:00.003-05:00

I do not remember being THIS HUNGRY when I was pregnant with Ashton. I can't seem to keep my tummy satisfied! Maybe that's why I look about the same at 5 months as I looked at 8 months with my first pregnancy?! Why doesn't Burger Street deliver?

A Little Perspective

2009-05-07T20:42:00.004-05:00

I was talking to my mom a little bit this morning about perspective. You see, ever since I was a little girl playing with Barbie's and baby dolls I have dreamed of having a daughter of my own. I imagined the "perfect" family with a boy and a girl but really if I would've had a house full of girls I never would have thought two seconds about a boy. When I found out Ashton was a boy I was happy

Phone Calls from the Doc are never a good sign...

2009-05-06T22:18:00.002-05:00

The doctor (or rather his nurse) called this morning to give me the results of yesterday's ultrasound. If you have ever been pregnant before then you probably know that they don't call to give you results unless the results are bad news. Otherwise, they just tell you everything is fine at your next appointment. Anyways, I have a "low-lying" placenta and if it doesn't move before I start my

Even though we couldn't have Ashton's party outside like I wanted (due to the flooding), he had a blast and I couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out. I wanted this birthday to be special for him because he has been birthday party obsessed for the last couple of months! Thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed the day with us! Here are the pics for ya.Party Time!Madison, Emma,

Easter Fun and Potty Antics

2009-04-17T21:45:00.003-05:00

I tell ya, there is never a dull moment with a kid like Ashton around. The girls at work get such a kick out of my daily Ashton story and they wish they had a kid just like him. It's not always quite so funny on the mommy side of it. Although, I don't think its quite fair (to me or them) that some people go through life without ever having a kid like him! He keeps us laughing for sure. Having him

Mommy WOW! I'm a big kid now!

2009-04-03T20:28:00.003-05:00

That's right- just one month from his 3rd birthday and Ashton is FINALLY potty trained! We decided to spend all weekend last weekend devoted to potty training and it just clicked this time. We have tried many times before but it never really sank in like it did this time! YAY! I'm am one happy mommy. I was starting to get worried that I was going to have 2 kids in diapers. So glad that's over and

I give in

2009-03-13T09:33:00.002-05:00

Okay okay- I concede to the nausea medication I suppose. I thought it was getting better but these last 3 days have been brutal and I'm not able to eat very well. And what I do eat doesn't stay down anyways. I was really trying to be strong because I didn't want the medicine but I can't face the doctor if I lose more weight. I am past my first trimester and I don't want the baby to suffer.

What the doc said...

2009-03-08T21:30:00.004-05:00

I went for my check up on Wednesday. (I know, late blogging much??) I got an ultrasound and the baby looks good. The pics aren't very clear so I decided not to post them. I lost 4 lbs last month which makes a grand total of 7 for this pregnancy. Doc wasn't too happy. He asked me which nausea medicine I would prefer. I told him that I would like to hold out for a couple of weeks because I should

Welcome to the 21st Century!

Well, after living for 3 whole years with dial up internet, Aaron and I have finally been able to move into the world of high speed! They finally gave us access to satellite internet and we got it set up this morning. IT IS SOOOO NICE. Otherwise, this week has been miserable. I came down with a cold I guess when I woke up on Monday morning. I was running a pretty high fever and had to stay

Our Little Peanut (as Misty would say)

2009-02-20T19:54:00.002-06:00

These are the pics I got on Wednesday of the baby. As you can see the baby is still very very small and you can't tell much about it on these pictures. "It" was moving its little arm and leg buds around a lot. I am afraid I have another hyper one like Ashton in there. Misty was quite happy to see that it had a lot of room in there to play. I said it does for now but probably not for long!!

A few good days and then bam..

2009-02-12T20:49:00.002-06:00

The nausea hits again. I think I jinxed myself by thinking that I may actually be "over the hump." I went 4 WHOLE DAYS with no vomiting! It was fabulous. But alas, it did not last. The girls at work tell me that they miss the old Heather- and I whole-heartedly agree. She was a pretty fun gal. The new Heather... not so much. I feel like everything is slacking. My house is a constant wreck

Is the expected day that we will welcome this little one into our family. That makes me about 8 weeks pregnant and 32 more to go.... Yeah, that's a long time.Otherwise, the doc says everything looks good and I will have a formal ultrasound on February 18 so you guys will get some pics then!Thanks for all of the prayers going up for me. Keep 'em coming!

Pregnancy = Death

2009-01-30T09:51:00.002-06:00

Everybody has been asking me how I am feeling this time around. Well, I think that title just about sums it up. When I was pregnant with Ashton I distinctly remember thinking, 'Why would anyone do this more than once?' And here I am again and I honestly don't know the answer to that question. Yes, the result is wonderful but it is very difficult to see past the toilet bowl, which has become

2009-01-21T10:19:00.002-06:00

Well, I had a few minutes before work (which never happens) so I thought I would post a little. I tried to get my Arizona pics on here so I could have that out of the way but as usual blogger didn't cooperate with me so I finally gave up. Life has been about as mundane as one's life could be after recently finding out the news that I am going to have a baby. The girls at work are so excited

That's right- Aaron and I are gonna have a baby!! I just found out a few days ago. I am very excited and a little nervous. Ashton doesn't really understand of course but I know he is ready for a sibling. If I have calculated correctly I will be due in September. I have a doctor's appt in a few weeks so we will find out for sure then. Well, I have been super tired so I am gonna drift off to

I have this strange sense of impending doom...

2008-12-14T20:26:00.003-06:00

I figured I better go ahead and blog about my weekend since we are supposed to get "freezing drizzle" tonight which has proved in the past to equal a week without electricity... UGH! If we have another ice storm I am outta here! (I can hear the ice falling outside as we speak...) Anyways, I had a super fun weekend. Well, by weekend I mostly mean Saturday night. I had to work Saturday morning so

The Four Stages of My Weekend

2008-12-09T21:08:00.003-06:00

WHAT A WEEKEND!! It was non-stop from start to finish and I am trying my best to recoop from it all. Every year it seems we add a tradition to the holiday season and me and Aaron have such conflicting schedules it is hard to fit it all in! But we knocked a few off the list this weekend...We woke up at 6am Saturday morning and headed to OKC to go Christmas shopping with Derek and LeAnndra. We

Hey guys! Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving. Of course, I have already read about most of yours on your blogs but for those who don't have a blog- I hope it was great. I had a pretty good Thanksgiving. The food was delicious and I ate far, far too much of it. Everybody brought such great desserts it was impossible to choose between them! We played games with the fam all day, which

Oh Christmas Tree

2008-11-24T22:04:00.003-06:00

It seems like everyone is getting bitten by the holiday bug a little early this year. I, too, have become victim to the oncoming holiday season. Normally, I am a big supporter of not playing Christmas music or putting up decorations until after Thanksgiving but this year I made an exception! Aaron and I both have to work all weekend after Thanksgiving so we weren't going to be able to put up

The Lucky One

2008-11-19T20:32:00.006-06:00

Well, after being able to rest for the weekend, I woke up Monday morning feeling much much better and ready to start a new week. Yesterday morning, I had a hair appointment before work (which was long overdue by the way.) So, I am no longer a red-head! My roots were in bad so I went and put some streaks in my hair and I really, really love the way it turned out. We were running late so I didn't

So, what's been up with me you ask?

2008-11-14T23:15:00.003-06:00

Well, let's see... Ashton came down with scarlet fever and strep throat, so I took him to the doctor and got some antibiotics. Did everything I could without physically shoving them down his throat to try to get him to take it, which he wouldn't so even though it appeared to have cleared up for the most part just as I feared, it came screaming back after just a few days. So... I try to contact

We had a fun day at the bank for Halloween. Normally, I'm not real big on Halloween and rarely dress up. In fact, this is Ashton's third Halloween and the first one he has dressed up for. We had a costume contest at the bank so I decided it would be fun. We had a pirate theme going so all of the associates dressed up like pirates. Ashton was a monkey. Here he is with my friend/coworker

2008-10-01T22:13:00.003-05:00

...oh, and Ashton. Last night the girls and I decided we needed a night out. Aaron was at work so we had to take Ashton with us but otherwise it was just us. It has been so long since I have had a girls night out. Back in the day this was all I knew and I have been having serious withdraws! So me, Misty, Latisha, and Ashton headed off to the fair. We got off late so we didn't have a whole lot of

As most of you know my new niece was born on Tuesday night. She was a whopping 10lbs 9oz! Jamey is a trooper! I can't wait to see her. Aaron and I leave for Colorado a week from today.

So, last weekend we went to Searcy, AR. Aaron's grandparents live there and his mom was down visiting. Over all we had a good time. Hurricane Ike interrupted our plans, causing tornado warnings for us and landing us in the storm cellar a few times. Aaron's granddad wasn't a big fan of going to the storm cellar and going down into tight quarters with him, Ashton, and the dog was quite

Well guys, as you may or may not have guessed- I haven't been posting because blogger and I have not been getting along. I have been trying nearly every day for over a week to post this picture and blogger wouldn't let me so I refused to blog until it cooperated. As you can see, it finally did- even though most of you have already seen this pic on MySpace! I was going to have a nice long post

Ashton's Most Recent Disaster

2008-08-17T13:38:00.003-05:00

Ashton burned his hand with a hot iron on Wednesday. This is what it looks like after 4 days. And this picture doesn't do it justice at all. I took him to the doctor and he said it would probably take at least ten days to heal up and hopefully it won't scar or anything. Just thought I would let you guys know what is going on! Stay tuned for next week's disaster. My son is just an accident

Hello fellow bloggers! I know I am on the "bad list" of blogger. It seems that working full time is more of an adjustment than I anticipated and I am finding the computer to be a stranger to me lately. As access to the internet is not permitted at work (as if I have time at work anyway), and I seem to be home so little these days, my blogging and e-mailing has taken a hit. The good thing,

The doctor called me in a prescription of what better be miracle working eye drops for an outrageous price! I guess they are miracle working because I woke up today with no sign of redness or grossness! Thankfully,

Are you sure you wanna read more? Well, I had this cute pic of me and Ashton on Mother's Day that I wanted to post on here but alas, blogger wouldn't have it. Despite my trying to post it six times!! Sorry you guys won't get to see it! Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy mother's day. I had a good mother's day and hope that all of you mother's out there had a great one as well!Lately, I

A few pics from Ashton's party

2008-05-05T12:41:00.002-05:00

It is a lot more difficult to get Ashton nailed down to take a picture these days but I did manage to get a few... Ashton's party went perfect. He had a blast playing outside with the kids (he doesn't get to play with kids too often and it is his favorite thing) and being the center of attention! I definitely don't have a shy boy! He got lots of good presents and we all ate lots of good food

Happy Birthday Ashton!!

High Blood Pressure?!

2008-04-30T09:14:00.002-05:00

Aaron went for his physical for his new job yesterday and found out the he has high blood pressure! The nurse told him that it was extremely unusual for someone that young to have blood pressure that high. EEK! So, he has to go on a diet and exercise program. Which, Aaron has always been super healthy and super athletic and these last few years he has really let all of that go and now he has

Acute Sinusitis

2008-04-24T12:14:00.002-05:00

is what the doc diagnosed me with yesterday. Which in layman's terms is just a really bad sinus infection. I have been sick, sick, sick since Saturday and as of yesterday morning I still showed no signs of recovering so I broke down and paid a visit to the doctor. He gave me an antibiotic and an extremely disgusting prescription cough medicine. The cough was horrible and after 4 sleepless

Birthdays

2008-04-07T09:22:00.003-05:00

Happy Monday all! Hope everyone had a good weekend. We had a busy one. After I got off work on Saturday we drove to Siloam Springs to my Pa John's 70th birthday party. We haven't seen them in a long time and he was happy that we were able to come. They grilled hamburgers and hot dogs for everyone and we played volleyball out on the lawn for most of the afternoon. The weather was beautiful and

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was good but long. Kylie's shower was this weekend and it went pretty good. I would post some pics for you guys but I didn't get to take any because I forgot my memory chip to my camera! Nice huh? We spent all morning on Saturday trying to get everything looking perfect. It is very difficult with what we have to work with. I hope it was okay and everything.

2008-03-25T12:39:00.004-05:00

Well, I have tried for the past several days to upload Easter pics and blogger hates it. I even tried to upload a pic for Pam's bday today and it hated it too! So... it's not gonna happen. I was able to upload them to MySpace and Facebook so if you wanna see them, I guess you'll have to go there!Anyways, I just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAMELA!We had a good Easter weekend. Ashton really got

NOW He's the Real Deal

As soon as his Nana found out that he "needed" a cowboy hat, she went straight out and bought him one. So now he is a real cowboy. How cute is he? His daddy is gonna die if this kid turns out to be a country boy yet! We better move out of Pryor... and quick!How was everyone's weekend? Our's was fairly relaxing. We went to my dad's on Saturday night. He cooked us spinach manicotti and a

Shoulda Been A Cowboy!!!

2008-03-14T11:14:00.002-05:00

Ashton LOVES his cowboy boots. He wears them around the house all day pretending he is a cowboy. He needs a cowboy hat huh? Why is it that little boys always love to be cowboys? SOO Cute!!

Well, I had good intentions

of posting some pics of my new hairdo but unfortunately blogger isn't cooperating with me today so I don't think it's gonna happen. I did finally get my haircut. It's short but not too short. It feels a lot better and looks a lot better (I hope!).How is everyone's week going? Mine is going pretty good. Trying to get everything together for Kylie's shower which is in 2 weeks! AAHHH! It's hard to

My New 'Do-

...doesn't exist! I found a haircut I love (which you all will have to wait to see), found someone to watch Ashton, got up early, drove all the way in there and my new hairdresser had a family emergency that morning and they had no way to contact me b/c she didn't take down my phone number when I made the appointment. So I had to reschedule. My new appointment is on Tuesday. I was

Hair dilemma

2008-03-04T12:10:00.003-06:00

I am having an extremely lazy day today. I have been searching online for hairstyles all morning (to no avail, by the way) because I have a hair appt in the morning. I am trying out a new hairdresser which is pretty scary for me but I just don't have time to drive to see Beverly and I no longer have a stepmom to cut my hair so... I really don't have much other choice. (Not sure if everyone

Tuesday

2008-02-26T10:15:00.002-06:00

So today is Tuesday and it feels like the week should be over already. Last week went by so fast- I can't even remember the days. Ashton didn't leave the house at all the entire week. When I got him out on Friday he was so excited just to see the outdoors! I think we are all ready for spring and summer where he can play outside a little bit. I have to start thinking about what I am going to

I know it's been forever since I have posted! I have been so busy for the past couple of weeks. Now I can't seem to think of what I have been doing for all this time. I did have some pictures I wanted to share though... Sometime last week I was sitting on the computer balancing my checkbook. All was quiet in the house, I thought Ashton was in his room watching a movie. After a while I

My First Night Away From Ashton and an Unfortunate Toothpaste Incident

2008-02-04T11:58:00.000-06:00

This weekend was our regional Youth Convention in Russellville, AR. I had to work on Friday night so I was unable to go until Saturday. Aaron decided to go ahead and go with Derek and LeAnndra on Friday night. Of course, he had to take Ashton because I was at work. I have never been away from Ashton for a whole night so it was hard for me to let him go. I thought I was going to be really

To My Wonderful Groundhog's: Leslie, Pam, Brittany, Sara, Kristin

2008-02-01T20:30:00.000-06:00

I have been trying to think of what I could say that would explain how I feel about Groundhog's Day and the beautiful reason that it is so special to me. I could easily 'ditto' Pam and Leslie's comments and be satisfied. These 5 women are the reason why I am the person I am today. It's amazing how each friendship is seperate and yet it makes this group of women who all have this bond that you

that Jamey is the one pregnant. Most of you probably already know that by now but I just wanted to clear it up for those who may not. Everyone keeps telling me that I am behind now since we had our last babies together but, ya know, I don't feel left out at all! hehe! Otherwise, not much going on in the life of Heather. I didn't get to go to my meeting on Monday so I was going to go ahead

I'm Psychic

2008-01-16T09:55:00.000-06:00

As you all can probably recall, in my last post, for some odd reason, I went on and on about babies and how I wanted someone to have a baby. Well, last night I got a phone call that somebody I am VERY close to is pregnant! It is not one of the names I listed though, so my psychic ablities are clearly not fully developed yet...hehe! I would tell you all who it is but I don't know if she has

Blank

2008-01-14T09:13:00.000-06:00

I am drawing a blank on what I want to write about today. Nothing terribly exciting this weekend. I did manage to go to Tulsa and get me some more black heels to replace the broken ones. Along with 4 other pairs of shoes....Shoes are the death of me. It's all I want to buy. Ashton made out with a pair of shoes as well. I think Kylie and I finally managed to nail down what we were going to

A Weekend

2008-01-07T10:23:00.000-06:00

This weekend was busy. Aaron and I got a couple of Olive Garden gift cards for Christmas and I got a card to the mall so I was hoping to get to go shopping this weekend in Tulsa as I DESPERATELY need some new black heels- mine are completely wore out! Unfortunately, my dreams were dashed because of having to put a new floor in our bathroom. I knew we were supposed to do that but Aaron was

that you can look back at your life one year ago and see what was going on. I was just reading my New Year's Resolutions from last year trying to see if I had accomplished anything I wanted to. Not so much. I wanted to get somewhere in my wedding planning- well, that has pretty much come to a standstill, I wanted to lose some baby weight and tone up- I think we can all see that just the

A Blog About Blogs

2007-12-26T10:35:00.000-06:00

So, as I got on the computer this morning to see how everyone's Christmas' had went I got to thinking about the wonder of blogs. For instance, there is one particular person's blog that I have gotten into the habit of checking frequently. The author of this blog doesn't know me (she may know who I am) and I don't know her other than knowing who she is. One day I was blog surfing and I just

How has everyone's week been? I have had a slightly embarrasing week.... Well not the whole week, just certain moments. You know when someone is hitting on you and you don't get it? And then when you do

Ice Ice Baby Part 2: An Oklahoma Ice Storm Sequel

2007-12-14T20:20:00.000-06:00

If you will look back into the depths of my blog archives, you will remember a post I made in January labeled "Ice Ice Baby" in which I described a week of my life with no electricity. Well, as the title of this blog would imply- I have, unfortunately, relived that wondrous week again. On Sunday, ice blows into our lovely state, quickly destroying any and all electrical lines and poles in its
