POOOOL!!!!!

Around April 22, we pulled out Cannon's pool. It was very warm outside but the water was not! Cannon was so excited. I filled the pool, he asked if he could get in and...

he immediately took off his swimsuit and jumped in!

He squealed and giggled with such delight! It was soooooo fun to watch.

39 Weeks

Maternity Pictures by Andrea

Andrea Hillis took my maternity pictures when I was pregnant with Cannon and His newborn pictures. I was fortunate enough to travel to Savannah a week ago to have her document this pregnancy as well. I just LOVE her style! Here is a little sneak peek.

Grumpy

Over the last few days, I have been pretty miserable. So cranky! I feel sorry for my husband and child. I have zero patience right now.

I posted on facebook that I wanted to evict Baby #2 and leave both babies with Daddy while I spent a week on a beach during frozen drinks, I meant it.

I am ready to NOT be pregnant! Brett says it is because it is SO close that I am SO miserable. Whatever the reason, I am no fun to be around!

This heartburn is KILLIN' me! It is constant. Thankfully, Sutton did decide to "drop" over the past week so I am more comfortable. But I am always out of breath, wake up sweating every night ( while Brett says he is freezing), TIRED, cannot sleep and I am using WAY to much toilet paper with my 1 million potty trips each night.

Toolbelt

Cannon just picked up my bra. He held it up in the air and said "Mommy's toolbelt". Ha!

welcome to our pea pod.

This blog is about our family, mostly our precious boys; Cannon and Sutton, but you will find it a window into our lives.

Brett and I met and fell in love over waiting tables at the Original Benjamin's Seafood Buffet in Myrtle Beach, SC. We dated for about 4 years and were married September 2003 at Litchfield Plantation. We lived in Savannah for five years and now reside in Summerville SC.

Our beautiful boys were born 2008 and 2010.

We are amazed everyday by the gifts that are our children. They are a reminder of God's unconditional love for us. Someone once told me that you cannot begin to understand God's love for you until you have a child and it is so true. God sent His Only Son to DIE for us. I am not sure we knew what kind of sacrifice that truly was until having children of our own.

We love the Lord and strive to live our lives in accordance with His will. We are not perfect. Yes, we fail daily but find ourselves back at the cross willing to try again.

Our firstborn son. He made me a Mommy, Brett a Daddy! He is beautiful...inside and out! He has a the most gorgeous blue eyes and dimple to match. This kid is going to break some hearts! He is our athlete. He loves anything with a ball. He already has a great baseball arm and can hit a golf ball over our fence! He is spirited and loving. He is a lover for sure! He loves to give hugs and kisses and to cuddle. He will just grab my face and give me a million kisses. He loves books and music and art! He knows more songs that I do. I joke he has music in his bones. I often hear him singing while playing alone. So cute. He has a great sense of humor already and he fills our days with laughter! Who knew having kids would provide endless entertainment. He is becoming an amazing big brother and already tells Sutton that he "loves him so much". He loves to drink chocolate milk. Loves eat pancakes, hummus, edamame, and peanut butter and jelly! He has a huge sweet tooth just like Daddy. He is already showing that he loves God and Jesus and even beginning to relate the things in God's word to our world. Amazing! He is fearless and cautious at the same time. He is often called a daredevil and is usually the first kid to jump, climb, and run.. with no regard to danger (He laughs in the face of danger!! Ha). But he is very cautious around new people. He is creative and imaginative and smart, loves to create and destroy, has more energy than you can imagine, loves to scream and laugh and RUN!!! Watch out, this kid will run away with your heart.
