Not only am I getting bigger, but my little man is a BIG boy now! With less then 4 months to go before the next little man gets here, it was time to whip this monster into shape!!! Tripp is in his BIG boy bed now (since about the middle of September), and is officially in BIG boy underwear only! The BIG boy bed transition was honestly a breeze. He's been going to the potty for a while, but we took the plunge and are VERY consistent with only BIG boy underwear. We picked out all new undies (Diego, Elmo, and Handy Manny at the moment), read Elmo's potty book, and have our treat cup right above the potty. He's doing great! I figured better now then when the baby is here. We are so proud of our BIG boy! Here's a couple pictures of our BIG boy bed and our BIG boy underwear! The rest are random pictures from this summer. Is is too late to blog about summer????
Prayers with Daddy in his BIG boy bed!
I went on a BIG girl trip this summer with my best friend Georgi. A 30th birthday treat from her hubs! Thanks to her sweet husband, the trip was free for me. Are you ready for this??? He gave us a trip to Puerto Rico to the Ritz Carlton! Talk about about a blessing!!!!! I didn't get a decent picture of the two us(well, one that Georgi would approve of considering she was 8 months preggo)!
In other summer news, we visited Guntersville Lake several times and took a trip to Louisville to see Dave's family!
These three were having the best time! Ellie, Saddler, and Tripp. Who knows what they were talking about??!
In Louisville, we stayed with Valerie (dave's sister). Tripp, Harrison and Garrett probably rode the Gator 3 hours of each day. They LOVED it! Tripp would have ridden all day if we would have let him. Garrett and Harrison have been driving the gator since they were Tripp's age, so I didn't worry a bit.
When Tripp wasn't riding the Gator, he was swimming with his cousins. Don't ask me why I have about three pictures total of this trip. We saw 13 of Tripp's cousins, not to mention three aunts and three uncles, and I managed to get these two pics. Oh well, good thing we're going back for Thanksgiving...I hope!
almost three weeks ago!!!! If we are facebook friends then you already know this, but I realize not everyone is on facebook!!! William "Cullen" Corrie was born on January 25th at 7:06AM. He weighed 8lb 4oz. He's precious in every way and we are very smitten with him. I think we'll keep him! Tripp is in love and has been amazing with him! Meet our new little man:
May your days be merry and bright!!!! We hope you experience the love of Christ this season! Merry Christmas blog world (if you even still read this blog)!!!!!
Tripp had a blast this Halloween! He dressed up as a Fireman and before heading over to our friend's Halloween Party, we stopped off at the Fire station. The Brookhaven Fire Dept. was so awesome and gave Tripp star treatment. He tried on all the fireman equipment and got inside the fire truck to "honk" the horn! Such fun! He had so much fun trick or treating despite the cold, rainy weather.
Looking at his yummy candy corn!
Had a hard time uploading this picture because I look gigantic!!! Just call me "big mama"! It was the only decent family picture. It was cold and rainy outside!
Tripp's best buddy, Porter!
Judson, Tripp, Saddler, Ellie, and Jeremiah (Fourth of July) Two more on the way, Heather is due with number 5 in early December and I will be shortly behind in early February!!
I know most of you have lost faith in my blogging abilities, and I don't blame you. We currently don't have Internet at my house and that poses a problem for blogging. I have a blackberry and so I still use my google reader to keep up with you guys. The downside is its too hard to blog from my blackberry and it won't let me leave comments on other blogs (through reader)! So, just to update you all...we're pregnant with number two! A little boy will be joining our family around February 6th! I'm 19 weeks tomorrow! We are thrilled to bring another precious, BUSY boy into our family! I hope to get Internet before he's born so there will be some sort of documentation of his little life...if you know me, you know I don't scrapbook!!!! Until next time!
