Go Big Orange & Updates

Thank you to Aunt Judy and Allyson for giving JP this Tennessee chair. I actually had to take it out of the house because he absolutely WOULD NOT get out of it! We went to watch Tyler play baseball Saturday and he sat with us like a big boy--it was so cute! Definitely a good buy! (Daddy would rather it be a Gamecock chair...hehehehehe!)

UPDATES:

• Shannon & Peyton- both are doing very well! Peyton is eating well and sleeping a lot during the day. His first little doctor's check up went great. He's a cutie!! Mary E. and Taylor are adjusting wonderfully.


• Megan & Brian- For those of you who know, Brian was able to get out this past week and pick Megan out another engagement ring-praise God for that! He also was able to attend two of the four soccer games Saturday-another praise! Continue to keep Brian, Megan and the kids in your prayers. They are hangin' in there and taking things one day at a time. Ask God to give them His strength and a peace that's overwhelming.

Belated pictures of Peyton

I hope Shannon will not mind me posting this picture of her and Peyton....I think it is the MOST beautiful thing! They are meeting for the very first time! Taylor and Mary E. seeing little P for the first time.
......still looking!
What a baby!! How beautiful! Way to go, God!
Scott and Peyton.
JP is not sure what to think. He's no longer the baby in the group!
Proud new mommy!
Baby blue angel.
So excited to finally hold him.

Belated pictures of the lake

I am sorry that it's taken so long to post these long overdue pictures. You know how it is with a toddler "toddling" around!! These are the pictures of our weekend at the lake cabin. I know, there are no actual pictures of the lake itself. We mostly hung out around the cabin. We did visit our close friends, Dale, Christi and Jodi over at Crooked Creek campground. It was awesome to see them again. JP is a camper at heart!! (hint, hint, papa Jack!) Yea, VeggieTales!!

JP's new thing is to get down on his hands and hold his leg in the air....everyone has to clap when he does this.

Yummy spaghetti!
Are you taking a picture of me naked!?
JP, me and Jodi. (can you tell she is a Clemson graduate?)
Just chillin'!

Too late for catch up....

A couple of things:

1. Most importantly....PEYTON JOE WOOD is here!!!!! Born today, April 21, 2008. 9lbs 8oz! Mom and baby are doing great!
2. Mom, JP and I had an awesome time at the lake this past weekend!

It's really late, and I am pooped. Pictures from #1 and #2 will follow in the next few days! Stay tuned!

Water gun fun!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED...right in mommy's eye!!

Whoa....wrong way.
Look at my cool, wet hair!
Who are you lookin' at mommy!!



I spent the whole day with my baby today! We had a lot of fun. Thanks to aunt Rose and Target's dollar isle, we have not one, but THREE new water guns!! WOO-HOO! Teaching JP to shoot the water gun was hilarious! He didn't quite understand how to hold it.....he pointed it towards his face to shoot me!!


We had a blast! I thought I would share the pics!

Television for Women???

I am writing this while Scott is at softball practice with his sister. I must tell you that before he left he watched a Lifetime movie with me. Why is this important? Glad you asked....

Women everywhere LOVE this channel. At least I do! For YEARS Scott has given me a hard time for watching these "silly" movies. At times his comments have been justified. For example, if I happen to watch one that had to do with a husband cheating on his wife or living a double life, I ALWAYS called him and needed to know where he was. If he worked late during the week, I convinced myself that he was with his "other" family across town! Bless his heart....he puts up with so much!

When Scott came in from work today, he made the mistake of sitting down on the couch. I had just started a movie. LET ME TELL YOU, it took him all of 30 SECONDS to be hooked! I had to pause it each time he had to use the bathroom/make his sandwiches/get dressed etc....Oh wait....actually I didn't pause it when he changed into his sweat clothes---HE BROUGHT THEM INTO THE LIVING ROOM AND CHANGED WHILE HE FINISHED THE MOVIE!!!!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Scott reads my blog each day along with a lot of our co-workers. I am getting a real kick out of embarrassing him in this way! Hey, sweetheart...I don't know what's worse, your obsession with Hannah Montana or your new found love of girlie movies! You're so sweet! (And I do mean sweet!) hehehehe

I'm really not a mean wife. I just remember once upon a time when my sweet soul-mate took over my blog and told the whole blog world how horrible I was with the laundry. This is just payback! I love you!
