3 Kids is Never Less Than Hectic!

I haven't updated in forever :(

Hamp is walking, walking, walking!

He'll be 1 next week!!

He's still breastfeeding. God bless my boobs!

I'm working on weaning him.

Carson starts preschool next week.

Jackson is still a HUGE mamas boy.

Brandon is still into the converter and recycling business.

Selling Scentsy sucks.

Hubbs is raking all the cash in himself.

We finally (after about 6 years) have finished the majority of the remodeling to our house.

We're in Georgia right now while Brandon works. But when I get back to my computer I will upload some pics and try to keep at this blogging thing :) I sure have missed it!!

Did You Miss Me?

I finallllllllly have internet again! I mean I haven't completely went without, I've had my phone but not my computer. I'm so happy to get back to blogging. Yet without I've been much more productive I might add ;)

Hampton is nearly 4 months :)

He is rolling over, smiling, laughing, and eating baby food (a little anyway).

Jackson will soon lose a few of his teeth :( Poor boy had somewhat of a bad dentist appointment and will be having surgery in a month or so! But he is still all smiles, and acts as if nothing is wrong :)

Oh and we're in the middle of potty-training him. I just stopped buying diapers for him purposely so I would have no choice. Today is day number 1 :) One full dry week, and we're Chuck-E-Cheese bound. The boys are excited :)

Carson has not changed one bit. Except maybe he's now 4 going on 14. Man that child is bossy, snappy, dramatic, sensitive, tenderhearted, and literally just tough. I don't know if it's the age or what? We'll see. He's a mess, but I love him.. of course :)

Hubbs is taking a bigger step in his business and working his little booty off. He wouldn't have it any other way though. He loves to work. It occupies him. More on his business once he gets further .. (and it totally has nothing to do with the Tiki Hut, we're tired of that shit hole)

Me and hubby have been taking at least one day out of every week to drop all the boys off and have us time. I love it!! I love him more than ever, and it's soooo fun to sit at a bar with him, feel grown-up without the responsibility of little ones around for a couple of hours.

Pictures soon! I've got to get them on the computer! :)

The Past Few Days

Hampton's new favorite things: Talking to Mama and staring at the ceiling fan!

I seriously wasted my time and money on the bassinet, swing and playmat. I'll be consigning them all!

I just bought him size 2 diapers and he'll soon be wearing them when he runs out of the rest of the 1's.

I'm tired of the blowouts!

We're still breastfeeding! Go me! :) He hates bottles when we try to give him one. And he HATES pacifiers!

Brandon is in Georgia this week, possibly selling one of his converter businesses! If he does, we'll be able to pay off our bills and sell our house! Fingers crossed!!! I want so badly to move and of course get our bills paid!

I babysat a kid this week for one day. He was 4, and honestly it wasn't that much harder than having 3 kids. I wiped 4 butts that day not counting my own. I found that hilarious and clearly a first!

Me and Hubby took the boys (all three!) to the movies Saturday afternoon. Hampton slept the entire time, Jackson sat in Brandon's lap and watched half the movie and sleep the rest, Brandon even napped too! And Carson watched the entire movie. He loved it! We watched Tangled and had to buy it today since it came out! Carson loves it!!! Jackson would rather play with play-doh or push a tractor around!

Speaking of tractors, Brandon surprised the boys with new tractors a few days ago. One each, and they love them! I'll be glad when it warms up so they can get out there and ride more!

Jackson's Tractor

Carson's Tractor

Big brother being sweet :)

Sweet boy passed out eating cereal :)

He found the ceiling fan!!

He loves the car seat!!

Small Talk :)

So Jackson and Carson have these few phrases or words I think are funny at the moment.

When Jackson is thirsty he says, "eat drink" or in the mornings it's "eat juice!"

You know how we all have a few words we overuse sometimes? Well I use to say, "That is not necessary" all the time. I probably haven't said it in a while though. But, because of it Carson uses the word necessary sometimes, even though he has no idea what he is saying and completely wrongly uses it, it's cute. So Carson was randomly talking and said something about Grady (our awful new dog) being necessary. Right after that Brandon asked Jackson something like, "What do you think Jackson?" And Jackson CLEARLY said, "necessary" Oh my God, we laughed. So stinking cute. I mean, what ONE year old can say the word necessary? Mine can! :)

Carson for some reason has started saying "mom" and "dad" instead of the usual "mama" and "daddy" and the occasional "mommy". Yet he is still saying "mama" and "daddy" more. Just thought that was random since I never say "mom" or "dad", not even to my parents or referring to anyone.

And a little bit of randomness...

I think I might start full time at the Tiki Hut! We're gonna talk soon about getting my own office and the kids will be able to come with me. Hubby owns it, so everything including hours, will be so flexible. I'm keeping my fingers crossed everything will work out! We need some extra income, badly.

I'll get to some Tiki Hut and pumpkin pics in another post. We're heading up there tomorrow to finish working on the roof, so I'll take more pics then and then I'll be able to do a few before and after. Basically, why I'm holding out on showing what I have now.


Here's a pic of Carson last night though. He fell asleep beside me, sitting up. I swear I think this child would sleep anywhere anyhow. He definitely gets that from his daddy, not me!



I look tired! But I thought this was so precious, since I was just sitting watching the movie and I thought he was watching with me! I looked over and he was asleep :)

First Day of Fall!!!

I love Fall, really, who doesn't? It's perfect.

The weather is just awesome.

You can start to get ready for all the holidays.

Around here it starts with Mule Days.

Then the State Fair.

Halloweeeeeeen!!!!!

And then mmmmmmmmm .. Thanksgiving!

My Birthday! (which falls on Thanksgiving this year!)

And then time to get ready for Christmas!!

I love the colors.

The leaves falling.

This list could go on, but my brain is on vacation today .. Pregnancy Brain.

Hubby bought a bunch of pumpkins to sell at the Tiki Hut and left a few here in the front yard, which have been sitting there for weeks it seems. So anyway, I went and pulled a few in the house and painted them, just to see if I was any good because I'll probably do some more when he buys more and take to sell them at the Tiki Hut. They are SUPER cute and hate I can't take pictures (my card is FULL on my camera and my program on my computer is acting wacky) so I have to go and print some pics tomorrow so I can get back to taking pictures.

So as soon as I get my camera back in action .. I'll be posting pumpkins tomorrow AND belly pics since I'll be 22 weeks! Then you can look forward to Mule Day pics soon since Mule Days is this weekend. Even though we'll probably only go to the parade and of course hit up those concession stands. Yum.

It's Up and Running!

We have officially opened the Tiki Hut. It's our new little business in Princeton on 70 Hwy. Brandon sells his produce there. We are also the proud new owners of two jumping houses! Here is what we got going on so far ..
