Message me your email so I can add you to the list!:)

Because a Little Bug Went Achoo!

Remember the book Because a Little Bug Went Achoo?

Trav licked Austin (yes licked), who lunged forward and hit the baby, who cried and threw up his hands ALL BEFORE THE COMPUTER COUNTED DOWN 3,2,1 AND TOOK THE PICTURE!:)

And the look on my face....call it pure joy or insanity. At this point they are one in the same!

Either way right now Pure Chaos with my boys=TOTAL HAPPINESS:)

A name and a blessing.......

Sunday April 10th was Jack (Travis Jack's) blessing day! It was a day started with a sweet and inspired blessing from dad and filled with family and good food! I LOVE hosting dinners and luncheons. I LIKE to cook, but I LOVE to arrange and put it all together in a display. We kept it simple with a soup and salad bar followed by yummy desserts!

It was such a wonderful day! We are so lucky to have family that came from all directions (and even different states) to share this special day with us!

Jack has been such a blessing to our little family! He loves to make cute little noises and make us melt with his killer smile!

WE LOVE YOU JACK!

Happy 4th Birthday Austin Ryan!

For those of you who don't know, Austin plans his birthday parties a year in advance! Right after his Spiderman Birthday Party last year he let us know that the next birthday just had to be BATMAN! We thought that he would forget, but to his credit, Austin reminded us that we promised him a Batman Birthday everyday for the next 12 months! So............what else could we do!?!:) Happy Birthday Austin Ryan! We love you so much and our family definitely wouldn't be the same without you!

(P.S. Notice the "distressed" look on my face???? it's because in about 10 seconds I'm about to have 14 (4 year old) party guests jump on my poor 2 week post c-section body!:)

Introducing........

Travis JACK Perry!

January 17, 2011 8:28 a.m. 8 lbs 10 oz 20 1/2 in long!

We are so blessed to have little Jack in our family! We have been having so much fun with our newest addition to our home! I know we are a little late in posting this, but we have been too busy loving this new little guy! He looks so much like Travis (which he loves!) Austin is such a cute PROUD big brother!

Super Heroes, Trucks, and Football!

For those of you who would have guessed we would have something small and wrapped in PINK coming our way in January you were wrong! I remain outnumbered! Baby #2 is a boy!:) I am nervous and relieved! Austin has my mind set in "boy mode" so this is a relief! I'm nervous because..........My #1 boy (for those of you don't know him) is WILD!:) He is so handsome, brilliant, witty, charming, fun and WILD! I can hardley keep up with him! How am I going to do it with TWO little boys?!?
We are all super excited for this little guy! Travis had the BIGGEST smile spread across his face when the technician announced it was DEFINITELY:) a little boy! Austin and Travis are so close and have such a great relationship. They have so much fun together! I know that BIG smile was knowing that they were adding another BOY to their little pack! Even though I pride myself in being able to keep up with all the "outdoor boy stuff", there are just somethings that are meant for a dad and his sons to share. I've watched it with Travis and Austin and I'm sure it will be the same with this little guy!
Travis left for Qatar a little over a month ago and will return in November. WE MISS HIM TERRIBLY! I wish he could be hear for all the new and fun developments (like the baby kicking!) I also wish he would be here to watch me progressively get bigger instead of showing up when I'm in the 3rd trimester!!!:) Oh well, he'll have to watch the changes through SKYPE (my new favorite invention!)
We are just a couple days short of the 24 week mark! We will have to deliver AT LEAST a week early because I am scheduled to have a c-section. NO WE HAVE NOT SETTLED ON A NAME! :) We probably wont for a while. Travis has come up with some nicknames to irritate me.........so I thought it was only fair to teach AUSTIN one of my own!:) If you ask Austin what the name of his new baby brother is, without hesitation he will say EDWARD (Vampire from Trav's least and my most favorite series!) I had him say it for Trav on SKYPE........I know this is mean, but I got so much joy from the absolute look of SHOCK on his face!:) I really do love that Travis and I both have the same twisted sense of humor and can appreicate this quality in one another!
WE LOVE YOU TRAV/DAD!

NYC and BIG NEWS

So apparently we are only posting 2 maybe 3 times a year:) I thought that I would get better at this during the summer.......but I was wrong! Just a couple of updates........

At the end of May we went to New York to see Trav's sister SheriKay get married! She and Darren looked so happy and we all had a great time at the wedding! It was my first time in NYC and Austin's first time on a plane! It was a big trip for everyone! We did the bus tour for two days (which I would highly recomend!) We were able to get an overview of the city and see things that I had heard about, but had no idea that they were in New York City! Best of all... We went to see Wicked! I loved it! We had such a great time. Austin's favorite part was definitely hanging out with cousins!

Well, on to the big news! While we were in New York we found out that we are having a baby! We are all so excited! We are due January 24th and can't wait! Pregnancy definitely isn't my favorite thing, but will definitely be worth it in the end!
