I have been doing Crossfit for ONE year now and have never felt better in my life. I was the person that NEVER saw myself doing Crossfit, I thought Crossfit wasn't for me. Let me tell you a little bit about my Crossfit journey.<br />

In high school and college I never really had an issue with my weight. Once I had kids is when weight issues really started. I had countless gym memberships that were a BIG waste of money. I would go 2 or 3 weeks sometimes for a month and then quit going. I would try eating less thinking I would lose a little weight that way. I tried Weight Watchers for a while which I really liked but I didn't stick with it. Finally I got complacent. I had two babies, I was busy. I felt like I had no time for anything much less working out. So I just said to heck with it, I'm just going to be fat. And my version of fat and someone else's version might be different, but for me I was fat and unhealthy. Right before we had our second child my husband tried Crossfit and he loved it. He is very athletic so Crossfit was right up his ally. He lost so much weight, got healthy and looked great. Deep down I was jealous. He would talk about Crossfit and I would usually roll my eyes, I didn't want to hear about it. When I think back to it, it was because I was jealous he had time to workout and I didn't, or at least I felt like I didn't.<br />
<br />
In June of 2015 Crossfit Ilium had a free ladies night called WOD and Wine. I had a friend who asked me to come and just try it. So I went, by myself, I went and I had a good time. So they had door prizes and I ended up winning one of them which was a free month of Crossfit. I got home that night and told Rob and he just laughed. I told him well I guess I have to at least give it a try now. I decided to start their Foundations class at the beginning of July.<br />
<br />
On July 6, 2015 I decided to give Crossfit a try. I was SO nervous! I pulled up to the gym that evening for my first foundations class and I sat in the car and texted Rob and asked him if I had to go inside. I was stepping completely out of my comfort zone. I didn't have a friend starting with me, I was by myself. I took a deep breath and I walked though that door. Looking back on it now, that's the first step, walking through that door! I started my first Crossfit foundations class with two young college guys, talk about feeling out of shape...ha! The first class wasn't too bad, and when I say too bad, I mean it was basic information nothing too complicated. The foundations classes were 3 nights a week for two weeks. Each day got more intense with more movements that I never done before. I have never picked up a bar in my life that I can remember! There was one foundations class I remember crying. I cried because it was so much information and I am a perfectionist and I couldn't get the movement down and it was frustrating me. I made it through all of my foundations classes and I remember telling Rob there was no way I was going to remember all the movements I just learned. On that following Monday July 20, 2015 I went to my first Crossfit class. I went to the 5am class and I remember being so nervous, I was thinking what if I can't do this, what am I getting myself into, everyone is so much better than me, just breathe! I remember everyone was so friendly and helpful. That day I made it through my very first Crossfit WOD and I felt good.<br />
<br />
I started off by going 3 days a week and after a while it changed to 4 days a week. I go at 5am every morning and I love my 5am crew.<br />

Crossfit is absolutely one of the best things that happened in my life, other than getting married, and having my kids, being healthy and feeling good is amazing. I have never met a group of more supportive people that always push you to do your very best. It wasn't long after I started at Ilium we had a workout that required running and burpees, I hate burpees. Of course I was the last one finished and I'll never forget one of my 5am friends (Brooke) pushing me, actually getting down on the ground and doing the last set of burpees with me to help push me along. I can't tell you how much that meant! To have someone there pushing you, knowing that you can do it and supporting you all the way is pretty amazing. Never did I ever have anything like that when I just had a regular gym membership. To have that accountability is amazing. Since I've been in the 5am class for a year now, if one of us is not at the gym in the mornings, we are texting making sure that you are ok. I have made some of my best friends through Crossfit and I am thankful for each one of them!<br />

I went into Crossfit with the mind set of, I am going to my very best! I am not a competitor so I am not in there trying to compete with anyone nor did I go in with the mindset that I had to keep up with every one. I do the best I can do, not the best someone else can do. If I am doing my best and pushing to get better, I am happy! When I started the 5am class, all the people in my class had been doing Crossfit WAY longer than I had and they were in good shape. That did not intimidate me, that pushed me, it pushes me to do better because one day I want to be where they are, I want to be as fast and as strong. Watching them lift, seeing how strong and fast they are, motivates me! For the longest, I was always the last one to finish the workouts and most of the time I still am now, but that does not bother me because I know I am doing the best I can do.<br />

This year I competed in the Crossfit Open, our gym does this thing called Friday Night Lights. We get together as a gym and do the Open workouts together. We are put into teams and we compete as a gym. I was so nervous going into it but it ended up being a lot of fun and an awesome way to bring everyone in the gym together. We all work out at different times so a lot of the people that go to the gym I don't normally see. Doing the Open made me realize 1: how awesome our Crossfit family is 2: that I can push myself. I did a few of the Open workouts RX and even though it about killed me, after wards it was the best feeling ever. Our last Open workout 16.5 was 21-18-15-12-9-6-3 reps for time of Thrusters (which I hate) and over the bar burpees. The RX weight for women was 65lbs which was a lot for me, especially having to do that many thrusters. Well, I ended up RX'ing it, I was literally about to die when the gym rallied around me pushing me to finish and make it through. While doing the workout I just looked at them and thought your crazy, I'm about to die, but seriously when it was over and I finished that workout RX I was so proud of myself. Proving to myself that I could do it. That's what Crossfit is all about, supporting and pushing each other to do better!<br />

Never in a million years did I ever think Crossfit was something I thought I could do much less enjoy. I can't imagine my life without it. Being healthy and in shape has made me feel better than I ever have. I love that Rob and I are now leading a healthy lifestyle. I'm happy that we both enjoy doing the same thing. It's fun to come home and have someone to talk to about your workout. The amazing people, the amazing friends I have made by doing Crossfit is truly a blessing. Like I said the first step is walking through that door and once you do you will not regret it. It's truly been life changing for me!!<br />

We are pretty excited because this year Jack is old enough to play t-ball. Rob grew up playing ball so he has been waiting for this day for a really long time. Growing up, I enjoyed watching my youngest sister play baseball and then move on to softball. I couldn't wait to have a little boy that could play.<br />
Jack's team are the Cubs and he has a few friends that are on his team so that has been lots of fun. We had our first practice the beginning of last month and Jack was so excited. We had been practicing some at home. Rob had surprised him with his very own glove and bat and also gave him his own baseball bag which he loves!!<br />
<br />
Jack had his first game last night and he had a blast! He loved putting on his uniform. They introduced all the players and then the game began. Each team got to hit twice, and now in t-ball the coach throws 3 pitches and if you can't hit it they bring out the tee for the kids to hit the ball. It was all pretty funny watching all of our kids play. Some were playing in the dirt, some were staring into space, some were kicking the dirt and at times they would all run for the ball.<br />

Alice turned TWO on Tuesday March 8th! We had a small family party at our house on Saturday March 5th. Rob's dad, my dad, my sisters, my brother-in-law and niece and nephews came to celebrate. The kids had a great time and it was so easy, I really didn't do any party decorating except a few balloons and it was wonderful. The kids played outside in the jumpy house for a while and then came in to enjoy some chick-fil-a and cupcakes.<br />

As soon as I lit the candle on Alice's cupcake and we started singing Happy Birthday, Alice just stared, she wasn't sure what to think...haha.<br />
<br />
I had planned on having her birthday party with her friends at school on her actual birthday, but my kids got the stomach bug over the weekend. Jack had it Thursday night into Friday morning and Alice got it Sunday night. She still wasn't feeling her best on that Tuesday so we postponed her school party until Wednesday March 9th. I am so glad I did bc on that Wednesday my baby girl was feeling so much better. Alice's birthday theme this year was hot air balloons. I got some delicious cupcakes made and some super cute cookies, we also had chips and cheese and that was it. This was one of the easiest less stressful parties I have ever done. It was great and all the kids loved it. When I went to the school to set up for her party, I went to get them from their classroom and she was running down the hall screaming "my party, my party". She was so excited!!!<br />

I really can't believe my baby girl is two. Time has really flown by with her and I guess that is just because instead of just having one child to focus on, I have two. She is talking all the time now and putting together sentances pretty well. I feel like she has grown up faster than Jack because she is always trying to keep up with what he is doing. Anything he does, she wants to do. She loves her brother so much! She is sweet most of the time but definitely has an attitude! She loves all things girly, like make-up, jewelry, baby dolls but she also loves to get dirty. Baby girl, you have completed our little family. I love watching you and your brother grow and I am so excited about all the adventures with both of you in the years to come!!<br />

Back in June 2015 we put our house we had been living in for the past seven years up for sale.<br />

We had been wanting to move for a while and just finally made the decision to do it. We needed more space. It was such a pain trying to get the house decluttered and cleaned to be able to show at a moments notice. There were many days/nights we drove around Troy. I mean y'all, there are only so many places you can drive around Troy, it got old real quick. But hey, if it meant someone was going to buy our house then I would drive for hours. In the meantime we had been looking at a few houses that we liked. We finally put in an offer on another house contingent on the sale of our house. It took our house around three months and it finally sold. Those three months seemed like forever!<br />

It took Rob half a day just to get everything out of the attic. Not only did we have to get everything out of the house we had to clean the house too. I mean I couldn't leave the house a mess. We got everything packed up and moved out in 3 days. We worked non-stop for 3 days until it was done. Talk about tired, we were worn out!<br />
The kids loved the U-Haul. Jack wanted to drive it and Alice just had to check things out.<br />

We said goodbye to our old house that held so many precious memories. This is the first house we purchased as a married couple, the first house we brought both of our kids home to and the only house that my mom was here to see and enjoy. Lots of memories. It was a little sad and exciting all at the same time.<br />

We are absolutely loving our new house. We have so much more room and we love our new location. It's all been a little bittersweet. It has been so hard going through all of this without my mama here. There have been so many times I watned to pick up the phone to tell her what is going on or to ask her what I should do. She would absolutely love our new house! The new house is still a work in progress. It's hard to get things done with two little ones constantly needing and wanting your attention. We are definitely more settled but still have lots to do. I just have to say I never plan to move again, moving is for the birds.<br />
Here is a little comparison photo. The photo on the left is us in 2008 when we bought our first house, the picture on the left is when we bought our new house in 2015. Just a little bit has changed in those few years!! I am so excited to watch my family grow in our new home for many years to come!! I am blessed!!<br />

Jack is now 4 1/2 and Alice is 22 months. Y'all, they are so much fun! Jack is turning into a little boy and wanting to do lots of things by himself without any help. I do love that, but the mama in me is a little sad because my first born is growing up. He talks all the time and is constantly telling us about something or asking questions. He has a great imagination and is so funny. He is super smart and always loves learning. He is so sweet and thoughtful. He remembers everything so if you don't want him to know something don't tell him because he will remember it months from now. He is definitely a mama's boy when it comes to snuggling and bedtime, but is a daddy's boy when it comes to playing and rough housing. He is all boy and so much fun!!<br />

Our Alice girl is growing way too fast. She is talking all the time now. She says everything is "mine" and wants to try and do things herself. She absolutely adores her big brother and wants to do everything and I mean everything he does. She definitely has an attitude and it comes out when she doesn't get her way. Jack was and still is so laid back, i guess that's a boy thing, and Alice is a little feisty, definitely a girl thing. She has the sweetest little voice. She is a mama's and a daddy's girl. That girl loves her daddy. She is starting to try and count, she loves to color. She is definitely turning into a little girl and not so much a baby any more. She loves her baby dolls, she loves putting on pretend make-up, she loves jewelry and loves shoes!! She loves to be rocked at night and is a great sleeper! She is a lot of fun these days.<br />

After we had Alice, our lives got so much crazier. Having two kids definitely rocked our world at first, it took some adjusting...ha! As crazy as our life seems right now and will be in the years to come, I am trying to soak up and savor all of these crazy days. One day my kids will be grown up and not need us as much anymore. I have definitely realized lately how fast these years are passing by. As fun as it is to watch my kids grow, it makes me a little sad. I love the sweetness and innocence of these ages, I don't want my kids to know any bad or meaness in this world. I pray everyday that I can raise my kids to the best I know how and pray they will take that with them as they grow.<br />

<br />
So I haven't posted in a while. Life just got too busy. Let's see I haven't posted since Mother's day of 2014 and here we are about to head in to 2016.<br />
<br />
2014 was a good year for us, we had our baby girl Alice in March 2014 and Jack turned 3 in September of 2014.<br />

2015 was one of the most difficult years EVER and in ways I am glad to see it go. In January of 2015 we found out the cancer that my mother had been battling for eight years was getting no better and that she had decided against any more treatment. As hard as that was to hear, her body just couldn't take it any more and she wanted to enjoy what time she had left with those she loved. The weekend of Valentine's Day we had a girls weekend in Monroeville. We had such a great time talking, laughing, watching home videos from our childhood and most of all just being together.<br />

In March of 2015 our Alice girl turned 1. Although mom didn't feel up to coming, we got to talk to her over the phone and my dad was able to come help celebrate.<br />

After Alice's first birthday things were taking a turn for the worst with mom. They decided to call hospice in to make things easier. Me and my sisters went home as much as we could.We are forever grateful for my mom's best friend and our Aunt Ty for always being at mom's side. During this time as my mom's health was deteriorating, my dad's health rapidly went down and he was rushed to the ER in Monroeville and then transported to Birmingham. He is doing much better now. Me and my sisters were going through so much at this time.<br />
In the early morning of April 12, 2015 our mother peacefully passed away. We were all at home. We were able to tell mom multiple times how much we loved her and just be by her side.<br />
<br />
My mom is such a part of me. I'm so used to calling her several times a day just to talk and tell each other about our days. If I needed any advice she was my go to person. I feel absolutely LOST without her. Up until just a couple of days before she passed away, she could still talk to us and tell us she loved us. So much has been going on in our lives that I have just wanted to pick up the phone and tell her about, so many moments she is missing. Although she is not missing them, she is just viewing them from a different place. In lots of ways, you want to ask why, why did this happen to our mother?! Why did this happen to one of the best people I know?! There is no answer. God is the only one who knows why! As much as I miss her and want her here, I am thankful to have had 34 years with her. I think what makes me so incredibly sad is that my babies will not know what a truly AMAZING MaeMae they had. They will know from us talking about her and from pictures but they will not truly get to experience the MaeMae that my mother wanted to be. Life is different now and it always will be. But I rest in the fact we will see her again one day. She is free from her pain and suffering. I am thankful for my sisters, I am thankful for my precious daddy. I am thankful for my husband and children who keep me going every day.<br />

"When you die, that does not mean that you lose to cancer, You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live" ~Stuart Scott~<br />
Our mother was one of those extraordinary people. She had faith and lots of it, she knew where she was going.<br />

It is now on to a new year. As my sister Sara said over on her blog, it will be tough because this will the first full year without our mother. We just have to hold onto our faith and each other and we will make it through.<br />
<br />
This year Jack will turn 5 and Alice will turn 2. My where does the time go?! They keep us so busy and are so much fun.<br />
Hopefully I can do better blogging in 2016 to keep friends and family updated!<br />

Happy Mother's Day, a day late!<br />
<br />
Happy Mother's day to my mama! She is the most amazing and incredible mother ever!!! She is not only my mama but she is my very best friend. She has been through a lot in the past seven years and she is one of the strongest people I know. A few words to describe my mama would be kind, loving, strong, faithful, fun, selfless and I could go on and on. My mama always has the best advice and is there for her children whenever we need her. I strive every day to be the kind of mother to my children as she has been to me. Happy Mother's Day Mama!! I love you more that words can even begin to describe. Also, thank you for being an amazing MaeMae, Jack & Alice love you bunches.<br />

This Mother's Day I am so thankful that God has blessed me with two healthy babies. I realize that Mother's Day is a hard day for so many, people longing to be mothers and people who have lost their children.<br />
My entire life I knew I wanted to be a mother, I knew that it was what I was meant to be. After a few years of infertility I was blessed with two precious babies. I pray for those longing to be mothers because I do know what it is like to want something so bad.<br />
<br />
The first time I laid eyes on my precious miracle babies I immediately fell in love. I really fell in love with them while they were in my belly but the first time I saw them was indescribable. I was filled with such intense emotions the first time I laid eyes on both my babies. Being a mother is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I feel truly blessed to be Jack and Alice's mommy, to watch them grow together. To see the love they have for each other already absolutely melts my heart. Thank you God for allowing me to be a mother!!<br />

Let's see, where do I start?! I went for my 38 week check up on Friday March 7th. I had made a little more progress from my last appointment so we knew she could come at any time. On that Friday I was 38 weeks 2 days pregnant. I went back to work that day and worked all day. That afternoon I was having a pretty good bit of Braxton Hicks contractions but nothing painful. By that evening I knew I was having contractions, not painful yet but very noticeable. Rob and I already had our bags packed but he went ahead and packed our last minute things just in case we were going to be heading to the hospital that night. I really didn't want her to come that night bc I knew if she did, we were going to have to wake Jack up and take him with us to the hospital. I had contractions pretty much all night off and on but we made it until the next day. We woke up Saturday and did our usual. Rob was ready to go to the hospital the minute we woke up, but I told him I didn't think we needed to go yet. I was still having contractions but still nothing painful and they weren't that close together.<br />
<br />
We went about our morning. We got our showers and went to Walmart to do a little grocery shopping just in case we would be heading to the hospital. While in Walmart I had a few contractions that made me stop in the middle of the aisle. At that point Rob was getting antsy and ready to go on to the hospital. He asked me what was going to have to happen to make me want to go on to the hospital. I told him that I would just know. We got home and played outside with Jack for a little bit and then I told him we could go on to the hospital and get checked out because I was having more and more contractions. My wonderful friend Holly took Jack home with her to play with Maggie. We did not want him to have to go stay at the hospital all afternoon with us. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful friend. While we were at the hospital I got this picture from Holly. I knew he was having a good time :).<br />

<br />
On the way to the hospital my contractions were coming more frequent and getting a little more painful. We walked into the hospital and got signed in. I still wasn't sure if I would be admitted or not. We got to a room and settled around 1:30 that afternoon. The nurse came in to check me and she told us that I would definitely be having a baby that day. We then proceeded to call everyone and let them know what was going on. I was 38 weeks 3 days pregnant. I was the same when I went into labor with Jack, how crazy is that?!<br />
<br />
At this point my water had not broken. The nurse called my doctor to let her know what was going on and she said she would be up to the hospital shortly to break my water. If you remember when I was pregnant with Jack, my water broke on it's own. They told me we would probably have a baby by that evening.<br />

My sister Anna headed to Troy to pick up Jack and stay at the house with him. My mom then called and said she would head to Troy so that Anna could come to the hospital. Then in the middle of all of this my brother in law Cole headed to Troy with their kiddos so that mom and Anna could be at the hospital…haha. I am so lucky to have such wonderful family.<br />
<br />
The picture above was after I had my epidural. I was in some serious pain and I am so thankful for epidurals. The nurse had told me that if we hadn't come to the hospital when we did that I wouldn't have been able to get the epidural. Now that is scary, so thankful we made it in time!! Around 4 that afternoon my doctor came in and broke my water and told me that it wouldn't be long before baby girl made her appearance. I called everyone again to give them an update and to let them know she would be here sooner than expected.<br />

Once she broke my water it was only about 30 minutes and baby girl was on her way! I felt a lot of pressure this time around. With Jack I felt nothing. Once I started pushing I only pushed 3 times and baby girl was here!! Everyone was right, your second baby does come fast!<br />

The doc broke my water at 4 and by 4:45 she was here. None of our family made it to the hospital in time. We all figured she wouldn't be here until later that evening.<br />

Yes, I know I have been away for a while. I just haven't had the time to sit down and blog lately.<br />
<br />
Let's see, the last time I updated we found out that Baby Mosley #2 was going to be a girl. I want to blog a little about my pregnancy because I did the same with Jack and I love going back and reading and seeing what my pregnancy was like with him.<br />
<br />
This pregnancy started off just the same as Jack's, I had no sickness and felt good. As this pregnancy progressed, I noticed things were a little different. She was sitting lower than Jack, therefore I had to go to the bathroom more frequently also I had a lot more pressure which made me a little sore. Towards the end of my pregnancy I was very uncomfortable, tired and sore. I did a really bad job this time taking belly bump pictures. Here are the few that I did take.<br />
<br />

When we found out that I was pregnant we started talking about names before we knew the sex of the baby. We already had two girl names picked out but we had a harder time coming up with another boy name. Well as you know we didn't need another boy name. As soon as we found out this baby was a girl, we talked over the two names that we had picked out. After a few days our little girl had a name.<br />

I absolutely love classic names and I think Alice is such a classic. Alice of course after me, and I am named after my great aunt Alice who is still around at the age of 102. She has always been big and special part of our lives. Christine is after Rob's grandmother, my grandmother's sister was also named Christine. I just love family names. Both of my children are named after special people in both our families. I am just in love with baby girls name!<br />
<br />
We talked to Jack a lot about sister and he would point to my belly and say "sister in mommy's belly" "sister growing". He would also give my belly kisses and say "hey sister". As it got toward the end of my pregnancy there were a few things that I had a hard time doing with Jack. I was always the one to put him to bed every night but it got hard for me to get in and out of his bed, so Rob started putting him to bed. I tried to spend as much time and do as much as I could with him before sister came into our lives. I knew it was going to be a big change for him!<br />
<br />
When I was pregnant with Jack I had his nursery and everything ready by the time I was 28-30wks with him. I procrastinated a lot this time around. The second pregnancy you just don't have as much time. Around 34ish weeks I finally got her nursery pretty much all put together minus just a few little things, I also got all of her clothes washed and hung in the closet. I will post pictures of her nursery soon!<br />
<br />
Like I said before, I had a great pregnancy both times. This pregnancy I ate a lot of Rice Krispies, with Jack's pregnancy I ate Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I don't know what it is with me and cereals when I'm pregnant.<br />
I went for my 36 week check up with baby girl and had already made some progress. When I was 36wks with Jack I had already made progress too. Rob and I decided that weekend to get a babysitter and go to dinner, we figured it would be the last time we could get away just the two of us before we had two kiddos.<br />

I went back for my 37 week check up and had made even more progress, we just knew she could come any day. I had always heard that your second comes faster! By my 38 week check up I had made a little bit more progress and I had a feeling that she would be coming pretty soon. The rest of this story will be for another post, Alice's birth story.<br />
<br />
I am so very thankful to have good and healthy pregnancies. We have a hard time getting pregnant but once pregnant everything goes so smoothly. I am so so blessed with both of my miracle children and I'm so excited to watch them grow up together. I am so thrilled to have the best of both worlds, a boy and a girl.<br />

Only we didn't find out. We told the ultrasound tech not tell us, to write it down and put the pictures in an envelope that I brought with us and seal it. We did get to see the baby, just no parts were shown to us. The tech said that everything with the baby looked great!! We met with our doc and then we were headed back to Troy to drop the envelope off with a local bakery and they were to fill cupcakes with either pink or blue, whatever was in that envelope. <br />

We packed everything up, went to get Jack from daycare, got the cupcakes from the bakery and off to Birmingham we went for a little gender reveal with our family! We had our ultrasound at 10am and we didn't bite into a cupcake until around 5:30pm. <br />
<br />
We got to my sister Sara's house and got things ready. There were decorations on the door and balloons, we kept it very simple. <br />

We are so thrilled to be adding a little girl to our family! I was so sure that this was going to be a boy because my pregnancy has been pretty much the exact same as it was when I was pregnant with Jack. Even the heart rate of this baby was the same as Jack's so I just knew we were going to bite into that cupcake and see blue. Even when we left the doctors office that morning I was still convinced it was boy. We would have been thrilled no matter what color had been in that cupcake, we are just thankful she is healthy and looking good. <br />
<br />
Some of my friends couldn't believe we waited almost all day to find out. I was so glad we did it the way we did. It was special and so fun to find out with everyone!!!<br />

Everyone already knows, I just wanted to make it blog official! We found out July 10th, two days before my 32nd birthday that we were pregnant with another miracle baby. We are so so blessed and thankful for our new little blessing.<br />
<br />
We told our family first, but we didn't tell them when we first found out. We had to wait a whole 2 weeks before we told anyone. I was waiting on a shirt to be made and for everyone to be together :). We headed to Birmingham for my sisters kids birthday party weekend and that is when we broke the news. I changed Jack into his Big Brother shirt and had him walk out in front of everybody to see who noticed if anyone noticed first. Well Sara was the first one to notice and just looked and me with big eyes wondering if it was true. Then Anna saw that something was going on and Sara told her to look at Jack's shirt. Then everyone noticed and started screaming and mom started crying. It was so much fun seeing everyone's reactions, it was a total surprise!! <br />
<br />
After we told my family we made it facebook official to share the good news with our family and friends!<br />

We went in the late afternoon when Rob got off work. I just knew Jack was going to love it because we had been talking about the pumpkin patch for weeks. We got there and Jack immediately started pitching a fit bc he did not want to ride in his stroller, nor did he want to walk, he wanted to be carried :/. He was being a typical two year old, you just never know when they are going to decide to throw a fit!<br />
We headed in and immediately saw the jumpy houses and Jack wanted to go see them. He would not get in one and the ones he wanted to get in were too big for him. After we looked at the jumpy houses we found the "cow train" as Jack calls it and of course he wanted to ride so I rode with him. We had fun!<br />

After the "cow train" we walked to the pumpkins, which was a pretty long walk especially carrying a two year old! On our walk to the pumpkins we passed some bales of hay that had a big black tube between them that you could slide down. Jack saw this and wanted to slide, finally he started having a little fun. It was so cute seeing my baby happy to be sliding down a tube...haha.<br />

We did this for awhile then finally made it to the pumpkins. I wanted so bad to get a cute picture of Jack holding a pumpkin but with the mood he was in, he wasn't having it. He started picking up pumpkins and throwing them..ha. We finally picked out two pumpkins then headed home. <br />

I was going to try and recap everything that has happened since the last time I blogged but I decided that would take forever. I will just pick up at Jack's 2nd birthday.<br />
<br />
<br />
Jack turned two September 27, we had his party on Saturday September 28th and it was a beautiful day!! We had a Mickey Mouse themed party and it turned out great. <br />
<br />
We started Friday morning off with candles in his waffle and he absolutely loved it.<br />

<br />
Happy 2nd Birthday my sweet little Jack! I can't believe you are two. I look back and wonder where these two years have gone, they have flown by. You bring so much joy to our lives and keep us laughing all the time. You are our little miracle and we love you so much and are enjoying watching you grow. We love you little man!!<br />

Happy Father's Day to my amazing husband!! You are truly an incredible father! I thank God every day that he blessed me with you and blessed us with Jack. From the moment I saw you look at your son for the first time, I knew you were going to be a great daddy. I actually knew you would be a great daddy before that, but that moment when you looked at your son for the first time, you could just see the love. Jack absolutely adores you! It makes my heart so happy seeing y'all play and laugh together. You are so special to both of us. Thank you Rob for being the great husband you are and an even more amazing father. Jack and I love you to the moon and back!!<br />

Rob and I met and started dating in 2004. On this day nine years ago, we started dating. Of course at that time I had no idea that this would be the man that I was going to marry, but it didn't take me long to figure out that I loved this man a lot. I can sit here and honestly say that the nine years that we have been together have been pretty great!! We have had so much fun and created so many great memories in the past nine years. He is truly my best friend! I look forward to creating many more fun memories in the many years ahead. Thank you Rob for loving me like you do!! I love you so much and have no idea what I would do without you!<br />

I still remember it like it was yesterday, the day was absolutely perfect! I feel so lucky to have married my best friend. And still five years later I love him just as much if not so much more! Rob, you are not only an amazing husband but you are also an incredible father. It makes my heart so happy when I see you and Jack together. God definitely knew what He was doing when He placed Rob in my life. <br />

The other day we went to Wal-Mart and while we were there we got Jack an Elmo toothbrush and Jake & the Neverland Pirates toothpaste. He was excited. As soon as we got home he ran to the bathroom saying "teeth, teeth". We are going to make brushing teeth part of his nightly routine, so we put the toothbrush and toothpaste up and waited until bath time. The minute we mentioned it was bath time, he ran to bathroom saying "teeth, teeth". So we sat him on the counter and put a tiny drop of toothpaste on the brush. Jack sat there so excited and opened his mouth and let Rob brush his teeth. Rob then let go of the toothbrush and we let Jack do it on his own. He thought he was such a big boy, he loved it. Needless to say, when we were finished, he pitched a fit bc he wanted to brush his teeth all night...haha. <br />
I know that this is something new and fun to him right now, but I hope he always enjoys brushing his teeth. His Papa will be so proud ;)!!<br />

We met up with our friends the Adams and headed to Montgomery first thing Saturday morning. The whole drive we were worried about rain, just hoping it would hold off for us to walk through the zoo. It never rained, thank the Lord. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We were so excited about taking the babies to the zoo. We had talked to Jack about all the animals and he could make many of the animal sounds as well as say their name. We saw monkeys, birds, elephants, giraffes, zebras, bears, lions and more. <br />

Jack loved it and so did Maggie. It was fun seeing what he thought of each animal. I think it will be even more fun next year when he is a little older. His absolute favorite though was not an animal, it was the skylift that they have going over the zoo that you can ride. Every time we would pass it, he would point and say "ride, ride". <br />

So my friend Holly and I decided to get together and start taking the babies to the park. We have had SO MUCH FUN!! It's nice to get outside on beautiful days and let the babies run around. Maggie & Jack's favorite thing to do is swing! The last time we went, Jack got a little more interested in going down the slide but swinging is his favorite!<br />

I love having a park to take our kids too, where they can run around and have fun together. I don't mind swinging or going down the slide either, I feel like a kid again. I love experiencing these moments with Jack. <br />

Jack turned 18 months on March 27th. I think I have said this every monthly post I do of him, but where does the time go?! <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I am absolutely LOVING this age! He is so much fun and has so much personality. He definitely has his moments but overall he is such a good baby/toddler. <br />
<br />
Jack is talking up a storm these days. Just about anything you say, he will try to say. Let's see if I can think of just a few of the words he's saying these days. He says, Mama, Dada, Allie, Hey, Bye Bye, Love You, Thank You, Night night, All gone, More, Mickey, Choo Choo and No No(which is his favorite). Those are just a few words in his vocabulary!<br />
<br />
He loves daycare and is still the only boy in his class. I am hoping one day soon he will be around a few boys. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
He loves juice and milk and he's a very good eater. He loves fruit and we are working on the veggies. He is obssessed with Mickey and loves Elmo(melmo as Jack would say). <br />
<br />
He loves Bubbles. I finally got a bubble machine bc I got tired of blowing so many bubbles.<br />

<br />
He loves for me to rock him to sleep, which I absolutely love and will always cherish. He went through a time where he didn't want to be rocked, he just wanted to be layed down. I'm glad he wants to be rocked again, even if it only lasts a little while. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the past few months, we have had visits from Aunt Saysee. Jack loves Aunt Saysee and thinks she is so much fun! We can't wait for her to come back and visit.<br />

We have gone to Auburn to visit my grandparents, Jack's great grandparents, Mimi Sara & Papa. We had a lot of fun spending time with them. I wish I had gotten a picture of Jack with both of them but he wasn't having it.<br />

Jack loves Allie. I can't say the feeling is mutal, Allie does love Jack but sometimes he is a little too rough with her. But if he has a ball or food, she will be right up under him.<br />

Jack, you are the love of our life, you bring so much happiness and joy to us! We have no idea what we did before you. You are so much fun and are so funny these days. I cherish every moment with you. You are growing too fast, but I look forward to each stage and watching you grow and learn. We love you so much buddy!! Love, Mama & Dada<br />

Ok, I'm back! Sorry for the lack of posts. Let me fill you in on our Easter this year. I have to say that this year was so much fun. Last Easter Jack was only 6 months old, this year he is 18 months old and he loved finding easter eggs that the easter bunny had left. So much fun!! <br />

We went to Monroeville and spent Easter with my mom. My dad was gone on a hunting trip, his hunting trip is always at the end of March and it just so happened Easter fell on that weekend this year. My sisters, well, Sara had to work and Anna and her family had already planned to run the Rumpshaker 5K and that was on Saturday so they stayed in Birmingham. So for Easter it was just me, Rob, Jack and my mom. <br />
<br />
We got to my parents house Saturday morning. My mom had gotten a bubble machine and Jack was obsessed, he loves bubbles!! We spent most of our time outside it was such a beautiful weekend. We played with the bubble machine a while and then Jack went for a ride in the wagon, he also got to help MaeMae feed the birds, well fill up the feeders with bird seed. <br />

Saturday afternoon after Jack had his nap we went out to the nursing home to visit my great aunt Alice, who is 101. She enjoyed seeing Jack and we enjoyed spending some time with her. After that we made a trip to WalMart to get a few things and then we to David's Catfish House to eat that evening. <br />
<br />
We woke up Sunday morning and got ready for church and took a few pictures.<br />

I was a little nervous to leave Jack in the nursery because he is usually very hesitant if he is somewhere that he is not familiar with. We got to the nursery I put him down and the lady in the nursery got out a fire truck and he loved it. I walked out and they said he was great the whole time, thank goodness. <br />
<br />
After church we took a few pictures then came back to the house so Jack could see what the easter bunny had brought him and to hunt easter eggs. <br />

The Easter bunny brought him mickey mouse pj's with a cape, a mickey sippy cup, letters and numbers for the bathtub, a new mickey dvd (thank goodness), and a t-ball set. He could not wait to open the t-ball set, it was so cute. <br />

Once we saw what the bunny had brought we headed outside to hunt some eggs. I thought that probably after picking up one or two eggs that Jack would lose interest in finding them, that was not the case. He loved picking up each and every one and putting them in his basket. It was so much fun. <br />

It was such a great weekend and so much fun! I can't wait to see what the Easter's to come will be like. Kids bring so much fun and joy to your life. I could not imagine my life without my little buddy. Thank you MaeMae for having us, we had a blast!<br />

Sorry I missed a few days on here. I've been doing really good posting a picture everyday to Instagram. Follow me on there if you aren't already!!</div>

Jack is so much fun and so funny these days. Whenever he gets finished eating something I always wipe his mouth with a paper towel. Well now he likes to wipe his mouth (don't worry I wipe it first then hand him the napkin) and then he likes to go to the trash can and throw it away. He is always so proud of himself.</div>

We went to my parents this past weekend so that I could go to one of my really good friends baby shower. Jack had such a great time hanging out with MaeMae and Papa. He loves to put on sunglasses now, it's so funny!! While at my parents Jack and MaeMae spent lots of time outside and Jack got to help MaeMae fill up her bird feeders to feed the birds. Such a sweet moment. </div>

The other night after Jack got home from daycare, Rob and Jack had a good time playing around. Jack loves his daddy so much and his daddy loves him. I don't know what I would do without these two boys, they are my world and I am so lucky that they are mine!!<br />
