Holdyn is 5!

At 6:26p.m. 5 years ago today I gave birth to a happy, healthy, loud screaming bouncing 7lb 14oz baby boy. (3 weeks early!!) Our lives changed at that moment forever and we couldn't have asked for anything else!



Today he told me he could pack his own lunch from now on because he is 5. He also told me now since he is 5, if I let him have coke, he won't be allergic to our dog, Hyres anymore (he is NOT allergic to anything!)

 He got to take cupcakes in to school today to share with all of his friends. He has had a great day! Thank you for all of the calls, cards, and gifts. He is our special little boy and holds a special place in our hearts!
Happy 5th Birthday HoHo!! Mommy and Daddy love you!

5 years ago.............

I am a basket case today for several reasons. It has just been a flat out bad rotten no good day. Maybe I should go back to bed and just start over. I have cried so much today I might as well cry some more and be sappy remember what I was doing today 5 years ago...................
At least my house was all decorated for Christmas then. I have to get to finishing that today! I know birthdays are a happy time but for some reason (damn hormones!) it is very depressing to be the day before and the day of my kids birthdays. So you know what that means.... Someone special turns 5 tomorrow!!! Let me go have my pitty party and tomorrow I will be back with a big 5 year old to show you! You wouldn't believe all the new things he tells me he will now be able to do since he will be turning 5!

Cookie Cutters

Did you know cookie cutters can occupy a 1 year old for a good amount of time, just like the tupperware cabinet! As I was cooking dinner the other night, Hadley was keepig herself busy playing with the cookie cutters. She started yelling "Mommy!! Mommy!!" I turned around and looked at her and saw this.....


then she said " BOO!!!!!"  HAHA!!

6 years

Has it really been 6 years?! I can't believe it. Sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday. Other days it seems like it has been 50 years!! We have had good days and bad days, good weeks and bad weeks, good months and bad months, etc. but nothing out of the ordinary! We have hit many bumps in the road but have always managed to scrape ourselves back up and continue on united as one. I am very thankful for what my husband does for our family even though I do not tell him very often (I am sure others feel the same way!).

 We had the most beautiful wedding day (besides those darn gnats!) and we couldn't have asked for anything more!
 Whitefield Square will always hold a special place in our hearts.

 I will never feel as beautiful as I did on my wedding day ever again in my entire life. It was the day I married my best friend. Ok I better stop because he will tell me later this is all sappy... HA!
 I am just speechless when it comes to these kids. I don't even know how to put in to words how lucky we are. These children would not have been possible if it were not for 11-05-05!
They are growing like weeds and are about to be 5 and 2! Where does the time go?!

This was taken the morning after he proposed on a lake in Denver, North Carolina.

Our engagement pictures. Everyone says we looked so young!! I guess 6 years and 2 kids later you start the aging process!

We NEVER splurge and do anything for ourselves. It's always getting something that the house or the kids need. Well this yearI have put my foot down and I have made some arrangements and we are going to splurge and have some much needed couple time and do something for just US. It is a BEAUTIFUL day outside and I am so excited to take in some fresh air this afternoon and spend time with my husband. No cell phones, no computer, no nothing. It's gonna kind of being like dropped off on a deserted island!

I love you honey and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. Can you have a less hectic and calmer next 6 years though?! ;)
