Birthday-fest 2013

My fav neighbor and I kicked off our 2nd Annual 30th Birthday's at Suwanee Beerfest. It was a beautiful day to be outside in Suwanee and enjoy the bands, food and of course a wide array of beers!

Our beer of choice and my new "Official Beer of Spring/Summer 2013"

Leinenkugels Berry Weiss

Waiting in line for our 3 OZ sample

Many beerfest attendees wore homemade pretzel necklaces, it is a genius idea and "cleanses your pallet" from the different tasting beers... wish we would have known as this would have really of come in handy... you know how good pretzels and beer go together!

As the day progressed we got a little "silly" and I was dared to eat a pretzel off of a strangers necklace.

This kind gentleman was willing to share a pretzel with me!

Can't wait until the fest continues with our 80's bowling party!
To end the day we arrived home to our husband's 3rd Annual Burning of the Yard Party-
They were finishing up as we arrived...
Picture Guys with lighters, beers and water hoses. It's a pretty ugly site (and mess) right now but in a few weeks our yards will be the greenest on the street.

Due Date

Welcome to 2013.....2013, the year we were so excited to become parents, have a family and welcome our daughter Madison into the world. When you first find out your "due date" the day is forever engraved in your mind, your body, and your soul. You tell everyone the date and circle every calendar that you own. You count down the weeks until your due date and say it countless times as it's usually the first thing someone asks you when they find out that you're pregnant. For us January 10, 2013 is that date. There is no guarantee that she would have actually been born on this exact date, but as this date gets closer I can't stop wondering when her actual date of arrival would have been. January 10th, it seemed like a lifetime away when I saw my first positive pregnancy test on May 4th 2012. I have to say that the 32 and 1/2 weeks that I was pregnant flew by very quickly.... and here we are now into January and I feel this empty feeling inside as I...

My Forever Child

I received my beautiful custom charm necklace in the mail today from My Forever Child . My necklace was made with Madison's actual footprints which were laser etched from the scan below. I am so thrilled with the way it turned out. This brought a smile to my day! Madison's Footprints I smile every time I look at the second toe on the right foot... it is exactly like Mikes! This beautiful poem was also included with the charm...

Mason's Birth Story

March 13, 2014: Even though we knew that I was going in at 5:00 am the next morning for a scheduled c-section, the day couldn't come fast enough. It had been a long nine months and we could not wait to meet our baby boy. The night before the big day, Mike and I ate an early dinner at Outback Steakhouse since we knew it was going to be the last good "going out to dinner" we would have in a few days, or possibly weeks. We went home, packed for the hospital, loaded the car and tried to relax. We got a few hours of sleep the night before, maybe 2-3 to be exact but we were running on adrenaline at that point. March 14, 2014, 3:30 am: The morning the alarms rang loud and clear! Time to go. We hopped in the car and drove straight to Northside Hospital, check in was a breeze and before we knew it I was in a hospital gown getting prepped for surgery. The time flew by, right up until 7:00am when it was time for the epidural. After a very long hour of testing for numbness it was ...
