Fabulous!

Wishful thinking...

I wish....

I could relax and just enjoy things

My little girl would not drink so much juice during the night that it goes thru her pull ups and in the bed, and that leads to washing sheets, and putting them back on.

My dishwasher wasn't broke

I didn't get migraines

At 4 months preggo my legs did not swell at the end of the day :(

I could say I've won alot of people to God

I did not have hunger pains at 2, 4 and 6am.. I need to sleep not think about food.

I lived on a 3 acre wooded lot, with a garden and underground pool

For a healthy baby who looks like me, grant it folks E looks just like her Daddy

For front row tickets at the circus for my princess (oh wait, that comes true in September) :+)

I didn't sweat the small stuff

My little Angel would eat

To go camping one day

I was really good at taking pictures

I could make biscuits from scratch

More skirts fit me right now

Max & Ruby would come out with a show for the South and i could take E

More baby cousins for E

To go back to the place my husband asked me to marry him

Insurance wasn't a rip

For Chili's chips and salsa

To be seven again with no responsibilities and worries

For 3 kids and hopefully 1 a boy

Princess didn't grow up so fast

For all my breakfast dishes to be cleaned up right now!!!!!!

Catching up...

Well after months of letting my blog go due to "Life is so busy", I figured no more of using that excuse..it was time to do a little updating. Where do i begin? So much has happened in the past several months...

My little Angel turned 2 in April.

My hubby and me celebrated 5 years in June, took several vacations - including a cruise with another couple-undeniably the best trip i have ever been on with anyone! My long, lost cousins from MiSSiSSiPPi, whom we never get to see :(

She is a spaz

We really would like to try at modeling - i mean she's got it down,

I'm still working on my facial expressions.. ;)

and this pic sums up our trip. Just had to be there..

E got a new kitty "boots" or "booters" and then we find

out 3 months later its a girl, poor boots..

my brother after 30 years is FINALLY getting married,

it took him this long to find the perfect one.

Elizabeth got to experience the laser show at Stone Mountain

the music, a train ride & fireworks. Fireworks of which she hated :), but talked about them for the next 2 weeks saying, "day scare me!" Kids are funny and very whinny, ew did i say that? :)

Oh, and yes we are expecting # 2!!! whoo hooo!!! This one wasn't planned, but of course alot of things in life aren't, right? Like when you wake up in the morning and your husbands like, "well let's go to Florida today"...and you do, and those are the most memorable trips. Things that happen at the spur of the moment, no planning, just go. So, baby #2 we are looking forward to seeing you, and E bossing you around:)

Whether your another Princess or a Prince you will fit right into E's plan. :) If you are a girl, you will be her little baby, she will dress you, change your diaper and feed you bottles oh, and most definitely will put you in the corner. On the other hand if your a little man, she's just not going to know what to do with you, all your trucks and dinosaurs. E is going to be a great big sister, i can honestly not wait.. well, i don't look forward to being so fat in the last trimester that i wont be able to touch my toes :) On the other hand, January you can take your time :)

Whatever you are little peanut inside, please have some similarities to this...
