Here he is.....

This is a picture taken in the parking lot before birth @ 4:30am




Welcome our newest little bundle......Gram William Spurlock....
yes I stayed with my 4 letter theme....plus I liked the way Gram looked with the "whole" name for those of you wondering why the different spelling......
Here are some pictures...he weighed 8.8lbs and was 20" long...my doctor predicted a 7lb baby, glad I was induced a week early!! Labor went well....had my Epidural and sat there with no problem watching my soaps and chomping ice!! Funny story: My doctor came in and said how long has it been since you've been checked?? I replied...umm I don't know, we were watching Family Feud....she lifted my blankets and his head was crowning......lets just say things got busy at that point and I missed General Hospital :-)

Just in case your wondering......................

Yep still Pregnant! I am now 36 weeks and still feeling pretty good, even though my stomach grows on a daily basis. BUT trying to enjoy every last minute of it since I am "planning" on this one to be the last time I'm pregnant.
We fixed our golf cart tonight so while the kiddos are out enjoying a ride I thought I'd take a moment to do a little update.
The other picture is from a Cincinnati Reds Baseball game that we went to, I think it was the hottest day of the summer that day. Needless to say I did not sit in the stands, I found a security guard that felt sorry for me and he gave me a chair to sit on in the breezeway...so the kids and I enjoyed snow cones and sat there while daddy profusely sweat through the whole game in the stands.

VACATION

So this post is going to be a LOT of pictures...We went to St.Pete near Tampa,FL for a little vacation before baby arrives. It went to much to my SURPRISE very well....the flight down went well...the hotel was nice, due to hotwire bidding and not knowing what we were getting ourselves into....and then sleeping arrangements....??? was wondering how that was going to work out...BUT thanks to the hotel they upgraded us to a room with a "kids" room that had bunk beds and the kids SLEPT in them!! Liam learned how to swim without using floaties and Ella did great too!
The hotel also had a swingset on the beach where we spent most of Ella's time there....also had outdoor hammocks which was nice, but difficult for me to get out of them....I am now 33 weeks preggers and still thinking 6 weeks left??? Really??? For those doing math....I am planning to go a week early....hopefully....! We also went to Busch Gardens...again got there @11am and didn't leave until 6pm, with no breakdowns! Unbelievable!!
Hope all of you are doing well and starting to enjoy the summer!!

Happy 5th Birthday Liam!

Pappy Cook....about two months before he passed.

WOW! This month has flew by!! Liam turned 5 on April 7th....although we celebrated his birthday, we also had to say goodbye to my "pappy". He passed on April 2nd...
So with Liam's birthday, Easter and the funeral...lets just say the last two weeks were somewhat a blur....
We just ended up having a very small little party for Liam back home in Indiana with family.
Here is a picture of me.....I am now 27 1/2 weeks preggers...and with this third baby, I feel like I'm bigger than I ever was with the other two. My doc says because all of the muscles are stretched and its just "kaboom" out there. My mother doesn't help, she says it will be very interesting to see how I look in July!! She thinks my belly is much bigger with this one too....Oh, and my husband as well...
I will try to post a monthly picture of myself...even though it goes against my will. I am not a fan of pregnancy pictures of moi'

WE ARE HAVING A..........

BOY!

For some of you this is going to be a complete surprise that I'm pregnant!! So, SURPRISE!
I am now 22 weeks, my due date is set for July 22nd, but my doctor (god bless her) has no problem inducing me early!! So I imagine I will be going a little earlier than that.

You may have been wondering, why have I waited to tell the news?? Well, I miscarried before this one and then the first three months of the pregnancy was touch and go for a bit....ended up at the ER once and the doc told me that my body was attempting to miscarry again...so now that everything seems to be off and running...I feel a little more confident.

So....that is what has been happening here!
We signed Liam up for kindergarten this week...(sniffle,sniffle) I cannot believe he will be going to school!!
He had his first "sport" practice yesterday...it was a little intimidating at first, but he ended up loving it.....
It was funny, he was the largest kid out there and he was the most intimidated....but he made it!
I'll try to get some pictures up soon!

This is our Christmas photo that we took ourselves...we had our first Christmas in our new house. It was very nice!
Also I put up another video of snow sledding..this hill is RIGHT behind our house....so much fun...of course its part of the golf course, who is golfing when its covered in snow??? We do enjoy our new place.....this was a major plus having a HILL behind your house to go sleigh riding on! Add another point to the move!
don't forget to scroll down to the next post, I put two up since I've slacked off.....
At the end of the video Jeremy and Chris have a little race.....just in case your wondering who the large kids were.....:-)

Where, Oh where have you been???????

GREETINGS EVERYONE!
Yes I have been a slacker....but my goal was to get a new post up by January 31st and well I have about 3hrs to get it done, or better yet....2 1/2.
Thanksgiving came and it was tasty.....then Christmas....Liam received a TON of transformers....Ella liked opening presents, but hasn't really played with much of "her" toys..she wants to play with the transformers...even knows some of their names. Pretty much on a daily basis we have an Autobot vs Decepticon war. For those of you who don't know what the heck that means....count your blessings! But I must say....Liam is occupied pretty much all day with those things....
Preschool has been going better for him......he has found him a buddy. He was the "new kid" for the first part of the year and it stressed him out..he had a hard time with a new school and all of the 22 kids that were in his class....bit overwhelming!
Just finished his testing...teacher said that he was very bright, but struggled with his social skills.....and that his patience level is very low....DUH, I could of told her that a LONG time ago. For those of you who know Liam, we have came along way from age 2! And we are still making progress.......
Little Ella, she is a fireball!! She never sits down, only when she sleeps....and sometimes she tries to skip that. She potty trained her self in November.....AND I truly mean she did this on her own. She just one day started to come and tell me that she had to go pee....I on the other hand wasn't ready...sometimes being in a store with a two year old size bladder....was getting in the way of mama's shopping. But now I am very thankful.....
She is a typical girl, dresses herself, puts on her own slip on shoes....wants her hair in ponytails....she is a girly girl.....
Below I put a little video on of what she is like just about everyday!
