100 Days...

I can't believe I have made it this far!! It hasn't been without issues, of course, but God is good and I'm trying not to worry myself to death!! I don't want the enemy to steal my joy and keep me living in fear! I want to enjoy this time~ I am extremely thankful and grateful to have another baby Cvacho in our family!!

I just want to keep a record of all of these milestones!! I probably won't do this every week, but every one will be better than I did with Will or Francie! I think there is only one picture of me pregnant with Will! It will be fun to look back in a few or more years and see what exactly was going on in our lives!! :) Here goes....

*Size of Baby: 3 1/2 inches and 1 1/2 ounces~ the size of a lemon

*Gender: ????

*Maternity Clothes: Yes! A couple of pair of pants and I just got a couple of tops! Much more comfy than squeezing into my normal pants!

*Weight Gain: None

*Movement: I think I have felt a couple of flutters, but can't be sure yet!

*Sleep: Can't get enough sleep!! I am having the craziest, most vivid dreams though!

*Symptoms: Exhaustion, heartburn (a little), nausea (a little)

*What I miss: Energy!!

*Cravings: Anything Salty, Cheeses, Meat (sausage) and olives

*Best Moment: Hearing the heartbeat!! My friend let me borrow a fetal doppler so I can hear the heartbeat whenever I want at home!! There is nothing better than hearing the baby's heartbeat!

*What I'm Looking Forward to: Finding out if we are having a boy or girl!! :)

Where in The World Have I Been?

Well, I definitely am VERY behind in blogging!! We have been quite busy this fall/ holiday season and I have been extremely exhausted!! Why? You may ask! BECAUSE I AM PREGNANT!! :) We are so excited!! The kids are just beside themselves!! :)

**I need to catch up on what we've been up to and then some pregnancy detailed posts will soon follow! :)

What We've Been Busy Doing:1. My mom had a Women's Retreat!! It was so fun to get away, laugh, relax and soak up encouragement from the Lord!! :)





2. We went to Georgia to visit family!! :)




3. We have been practicing Basketball~ not all of us~ just Will!! :)






















4. We have been sleeping ALOT!! Not all of us~ just me!! I have been so tired lately~ I have been going to bed around 8 or 8:30! I just really feel 34 and pregnant!! I can definitely tell I am much older this time around!! :)

5. We have been at school!! School during this time of year is super hectic!!

6. We had a Happy Thanksgiving in Huntsville this year!!

Trunk or Treat!!

Our church did their very first Trunk or Treat this year!! We also still had the normal games, bouncy houses, pony rides, cookout and friends!! We had a blast!! There were some really cool decorated cars!! The kids had the best time!! :) I hope the church does this again next year!!

*Will on the Motorcycle!!






*The Mystery Machine!!






*The Waffle House!!















*Our Small Group had the "Emergency Room" Booth this year! It was hilarious!! All the kids were getting bandages for a multitude of wounds complete with blood! Ha! This is Will, he had a shark bite!! :)







*One of our friends came as Rapunzel and her husband was Flynn Rider!! They looked great!! Francie just had to get her picture made with Rapunzel!!




















*Rapunzel's Tower!! :)





















*Francie and Flynn Rider!! :)

Halloween 2011

Halloween this year was awesome as usual!! It is always so much fun~ I promise it's one of my very favorite holidays!! :) Macie, Patrick and JR joined the festivities this year!! It was great to have them with us!! It is nearly impossible to get everyone to take a good picture~ this is the best I could do! We had a Jedi, a couple of Lalaloopsy dolls, Thomas the Train, a dinosaur, a lion, an angel, and Noah wore a morph suit!


*I creeped out this picture of me and Tiff!!!


Page and Macie... creepy!!




*Francie and Morgan!! :)





















*The girls decorated these cookies~ they just looked disgusting~ they really weren't that bad!! :)

At School...

The Fall colors have really begun to pop this week! I love it! This tree at school is always the most beautiful color red! (This picture doesn't do it justice)! It's like it has been painted! Gorgeous!





My sweet Jill in my class brought me back candy sticks and Apple Butter from Gatlinburg!! So thoughtful!! This class is one of the most loving classes ever! I am blessed to have them in my life!! :)























Apple gourd!! My sweet Caroline brought me and apple gourd from her family's pumpkin patch! I had never even heard of an apple gourd before, it is so cool though! She is such a sweetie!! Again, I am blessed beyond measure!! She also, brought her classmates tiny little white pumpkins- they were so cute! The kids loved them!!























It's amazing how God has been encouraging me at school! I am surrounded by the most amazing people- My co-workers, children in my class, their parents!! Mr. B, our principal, brought by a little goodie for us yesterday!! It really blessed my heart!! I am so thankful to be a part of the SMCS family!!

Fall Break!!

Yay for Fall Break!! This past weekend we enjoyed some quality time at home!! No School Friday or Monday!! Mainly the only thing we did on our Fall Break is sleep!! We were all in need of REST!! On Thursday evening Francie fell asleep at 6:00 pm and did not wake up until close to 8 am Friday morning!! She didn't even eat dinner- she slept right through it!! Then, on Friday I went to bed at 8pm and slept until 8am!! There was even a 2 hour bonus nap on Sunday!! :) So much for the long list of chores I was going to catch up on- laundry, organizing the closets, deep cleaning the entire house!


Saturday we did manage to get out of bed to go pick out some pumpkins and enjoy some fresh air!! We went to a local church to pick our pumpkins!! We spent way more than I would have liked for 2 pumpkins but at least the money is used for a good cause- they use the money from the pumpkin sales for missions trips!!






















Then we went for a walk at Star Lake!! Star Lake is always one of our very favorite places and it holds such special memories- Clint and I used to go on LOTS of dates there when we were younger!! It was such a beautiful day! I loved just being with my family and soaking in God's beautiful creation!! There just aren't enough days in my life like these!! I really want to savor EVERYTHING about them- my kids' smiles and laughter, my Sweetie holding my hand, the breeze, the way the sun comes through the goldish trees, acorns in the trees, how the sky is so blue, baby turtles, loud quacking ducks, skipping rocks across the water!! EVERYTHING!!









It was great- a real blessing- to have this time to relax and enjoy the company of the most important people in the world to me!! Laundry and house-cleaning will always be there but my babies won't, so I am seizing the day!! :)

Pumpkin Patch 2011

Yesterday we went to the Pumpkin Patch!! It is always one of my very favorite field trips!! :) It was supposed to rain, but praise God- He heard our prayers and the rain held off until we got back to the school!! It was such a beautiful morning!!
























I have a sweet, sweet, class and wonderful, wonderful parents!! It has been a great year so far and each day I am falling more in love with my class!! They really had their best behavior on the field trip!! Everything ran smooth!! :) It was one of the best days we've ever had at the Pumpkin Patch in all my years~ I think I finally have it down!




**Francie loved the Pumpkin Patch too!! Her favorite part was petting the animals!! :) There were goats, chickens, rabbits, and even llamas!! I wish I had gotten a substitute to go on the field trip for me, so I could have spent a little more time with Francie -just being a mommy! Sometimes it's hard to balance everything- at least I was there though!! :)

Us With Our Pumpkins!! :)
