<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I remember this day. I HAD to get pictures of baby Jake in his blessing outfit before he grew out of them! It was a rainy day but I just HAD to go take pictures! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh my baby Jake... these pictures make my heart burst.</span><br />
<a href="http://s1334.photobucket.com/user/aggiepains1/media/Jakeblessing_zpsl5myktao.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt=" photo Jakeblessing_zpsl5myktao.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w657/aggiepains1/Jakeblessing_zpsl5myktao.jpg" height="427" width="640" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey there Jake!!!</span><br />
<a href="http://s1334.photobucket.com/user/aggiepains1/media/Jakeblessing3_zpsh0eh6n7b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt=" photo Jakeblessing3_zpsh0eh6n7b.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w657/aggiepains1/Jakeblessing3_zpsh0eh6n7b.jpg" height="427" width="640" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That little baby gaze... </span><br />
<a href="http://s1334.photobucket.com/user/aggiepains1/media/Jakeblessing11_zpsemn2h6tl.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt=" photo Jakeblessing11_zpsemn2h6tl.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w657/aggiepains1/Jakeblessing11_zpsemn2h6tl.jpg" height="427" width="640" /></span></a><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With the older kids I remember rejoicing in new things they'd do and yearn for new things they'd learn. Now, I just cry. STOP GROWING. It's ridiculous. Just pathetic. I've turned into my Mom and my Nana... a bawling mess.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I understand now Mom.</span><br />
<a href="http://s1334.photobucket.com/user/aggiepains1/media/Jakeblessing5_zps81vi1kda.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt=" photo Jakeblessing5_zps81vi1kda.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w657/aggiepains1/Jakeblessing5_zps81vi1kda.jpg" height="427" width="640" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The greatest accomplishment, the thing I love being most of all is a Momma. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">His Momma... </span><br />
<a href="http://s1334.photobucket.com/user/aggiepains1/media/Jakeblessing12_zps85rlxd0g.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt=" photo Jakeblessing12_zps85rlxd0g.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w657/aggiepains1/Jakeblessing12_zps85rlxd0g.jpg" height="427" width="640" /></span></a><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So cute pictures of the kiddos doing crazy things didn't happen this week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But I couldn't break my Sunday night blogging streak! I just couldn't!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I'm going to talk about what we've been up to.... for the past 15 months!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lularoe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yep, I'm a Lularoe consultant. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I still giggle when I say it out loud sometimes... cuz it's just funny! Me??? A fashion consultant?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">hahahaha! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Seriously though, I love it and it has blessed our family financially so much! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tyler was the one who decided I should do it! That man is so freaking amazing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He see's my dreams even before I do. He's my everything. And we do this together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This weekend we got our Lularoe room closer to being all set up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I just love the barn doors Tyler built! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He is such an amazing carpenter. It's my favorite thing in the house!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s802.photobucket.com/user/aggiepains/media/IMG_8489_zpsjwoxqg3x.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt=" photo IMG_8489_zpsjwoxqg3x.jpg" border="0" src="http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy302/aggiepains/IMG_8489_zpsjwoxqg3x.jpg" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He also built this leggings/orders dresser! It's beautiful!</span><br />
<a href="http://s802.photobucket.com/user/aggiepains/media/IMG_8490_zpsazy7ivrr.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt=" photo IMG_8490_zpsazy7ivrr.jpg" border="0" src="http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy302/aggiepains/IMG_8490_zpsazy7ivrr.jpg" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've got so much on my plate. I mean FOUR KIDS and running a business? Crazy woman! Sometimes I think to myself... is this what I'm supposed to be doing? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And the answer in my heart is always a YES. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Because I know it will pay off. Because my husband has my back. Because we're in this as a family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Because we believe in dreaming big and working hard. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Super excited to see what the next 15 months has in store! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is Maggie's smile right now and its so funny and cute! Those teeth! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She sticks them out and crinkles her nose! And all those whispy hairs make me so so happy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Stages.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You know... stages. The throwing a fit stage, the only Mom can buckle me in stage, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">the have to take a bath after every meal stage...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, this is the stage we're in with Luke...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When transiting Luke from a crib to a bed we'd put him to bed and lock the door so </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">he could wander around everywhere and then open it after he fell asleep.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since becoming potty trained, we've stopped that and he has learned that he can </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">just walk out the door. So we find him in random places around the house when we go to bed. This time it was on the stairs...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So we told the kids we'd do something special Saturday morning... so we went to the Krispy Kreme store to get some Valentines donuts! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Jake approved!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We got home and I caught this picture of Dixie and I surprisingly love it. Sometimes its the most imperfect shot thats the best. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And a few thoughts from Jess---</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Life isn't perfect. In fact its far from perfect. I constantly have to remind myself to count my blessings and stop being so hard on everyone including myself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I came home from selling Lularoe... it was a long drive and not super fruitful. While I was gone Rachel accidentally left the water running in the upstairs bathroom and flooded it, causing the ceiling in the kitchen under to leak...... yep. A leaky ceiling. It was easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed when I got home. And I'll admit it... I was. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But after a good nights sleep I woke up feeling grateful. Grateful to have a home and a leaky ceiling. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Grateful to have four crazy, mess making kiddos. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Grateful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm grateful!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Life is so good. It really is! It's easy to get caught up in the stress and overwhelming moments. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But golly... I LOVE MY LIFE. I love my children so so much. And I'm so blessed to be a Mama. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The End.</span><br />

I had a wonderful Mommy opportunity to take a little road trip this weekend.<br />
Driving by myself is therapy. I get lost in thoughts. Thoughts of my childhood. Thoughts of good times... happy times. Thoughts about my little family.<br />
During this trip my mind kept going back to one thing... JUMP IN.<br />
JUMP IN JESS. Just jump in.<br />
When you walk through that door, don't let anxiety overwhelm you. Don't let the chores and dirty floors blur your vison and dampen your attitude.<br />
You're babies are all here. THEY ARE HERE. They are all yours.<br />
SO JUMP IN. Jump in at bedtime and do it with all your heart.<br />
Jump in and make those cookies with the kids hovering and fingers sneaking into the bowl of dough.<br />
Jump in tomorrow when they ask... "Mom, what are we going to do today?"<br />
Just. Jump. In.<br />
And love every second of it.<br />
<br />
My Jake boy! Even though the days are long and leave me exhausted. I can't believe how fast the months go by...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1334.photobucket.com/user/aggiepains1/media/DSC_6484%20copy_zpsy3llpr1k.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo DSC_6484 copy_zpsy3llpr1k.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w657/aggiepains1/DSC_6484%20copy_zpsy3llpr1k.jpg" /></a><br />
I'm not a perfect Mommy.<br />
I yell and scream. I lose my patience. I skip prayers. I sit on the couch exhausted instead of doing fun things.<br />
But gosh dang it, I'm going to try harder.<br />
Because gosh dang it they are growing so fast!<br />
I love my tribe.<br />
And this baby... oh this baby...<br />
I missed him the most this weekend.<br />
I was told he missed me too.<br />
He'd walk into our bedroom looking for me and yell "ma-ma, ma-ma! at bathtime and bedtime".<br />
I can't tell you how happy it made me to be missed. I missed you too little buddy.<br />

Jake loves his Daddy. Especially when he eats his face.<br />
JUMP IN.<br />
This is our time.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Three... three years old... that still counts as a baby right? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm saying yes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Okay, life can continue now. hehe</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Luke turned 3 back in October. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We keep birthdays simple around here... I mean we celebrate for sure, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">but we don't normally do big parties. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We took the kids to the Big Top candy store down in Austin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Super cool joint! Tons of old fashioned candies and lots of charm.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The kids had a blast choosing there poison. </span><br />
<a href="http://s802.photobucket.com/user/aggiepains/media/blog12_zpsu63dycrv.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt=" photo blog12_zpsu63dycrv.jpg" border="0" src="http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy302/aggiepains/blog12_zpsu63dycrv.jpg" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then I thought to myself... Luke is 3, Jake is 6 months... PICTURE TIME.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Let's get them dressed all cute and go to the park! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So we did.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And NO ONE could get Jake to look at the camera.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Seriously Mom, dirt is so cool!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dirt, grass, rocks... so much to do!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">{as Mom continues to tell everyone to get out of the shot and try and get Jakes attention... no go}</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh well, he's still fun to take pictures of even if he won't look... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">so bald! so chubby! so YUMMY! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I just love him to pieces.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Favorite food... also cars</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey Luke, what did you do today?... you guessed it- cars. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He cuddles me in the morning and won't let me leave his side after nap time. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Something about Luke that astounds me is his kindness. He has a kind heart like I've never seen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He notices when people are sad and will try to help them. He is the best big brother EVER.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">His love for Jake is seriously amazing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He hugs the girls when get home from school. (And is also super relieved when they leave for the day and he gets me all to himself... and jake of course) haha!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Luke is also ALLLLL BOY. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cars. Balls. Guns. Dogs. Bugs.... and all his favorite things. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He loves sprite, vanilla ice cream, chicken nuggets, pancakes... and all candy. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I turn 30 this year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don't know why but it's been on my mind lately. 30 years old. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I feel like I'm turning a page on an era of my life that I will never get back. A time of creating and growing a family. As I look back on the past 8 years I can't help but think- I DID IT! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I did it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had four beautiful babies. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And they are my whole entire world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love being a Mom. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love everything about it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Even wiping butts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yep, I said it. Believe it or don't believe it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But those BUTTS are mine! My babies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And I love those butts. Especially after bath time. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I spend many hours a day cuddling and holding babies. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If I could get credit for it on my activity app I'd be in outstanding shape! haha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love how much my children love me and need me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They make we what to be more... more grateful, more loving, more kind, more strong... just MORE.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I hear Jake start to cry from waking up from his nap my heart jumps! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He's UP! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Time to kiss that fuzzy baby head.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Over and over and over again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's a wonder he still has hair.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My babies make me feel complete.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Like the world keeps spinning and time marches on...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">but these babies... these babies right here... they are all that matter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Rachel's determined strength and will to be better every day inspires me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Maggie's fierce ability to take a hit and get up and keep going with a big ole' smile makes me strong.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Luke's playful and kind spirit makes my heart keep pumping.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And Jake... oh Jake... his smile makes my day. Every day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Guys, I had four babies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To some thats no big deal. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But for me... it's my greatest accomplishment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No marathon, competition, PR, skill, talent, or money will EVER surpass this. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had four babies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And they are mine. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They are mine.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Every night when I'm finished nursing Jake I rest his head on my breast and cuddle him tight.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is my time to pray to my Heavenly Father for the day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This prayer always includes... "Thank you so much for giving me these sweet babies! Help me be the Mom they deserve."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"I want to share my life with them for all eternity."</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have many insecurities that I won't go into. I'd say we all do.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But for some reason when I'm holding my babies they all fade away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am strong. I am Mama Bear. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hear me roar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With a c-section scar, stretch marks, tired eyes, and gained weight... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've never felt more beautiful than I do when I look at this picture.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Believe it or don't believe it...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I went to the Disney store back in September. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wait, let me back up a bit. Halloween used to always be a stressful time for me.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My baby boy is here! I don't even know where to begin. My feelings are so raw right now I can hardly type without tearing up. Deep breath... here we go...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I guess the perfect place to start is the day before Luke was born. We were at the park with the kids having a great time. I was waddling around rejoicing in the fact that I would soon not be pregnant anymore! We went on a walk as a family and somewhere during that walk Tyler turned to me and said, "This isn't our last one. We've got another boy coming." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I about slugged him. I told him that was no thing to say to a pregnant lady and the subject was dropped.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But deep down, I knew and felt that it was true. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And then Luke turned about 18 months and my heart began to swell for another baby. I tried ignoring it for several months, thinking to myself, "Three is just right" and "I never want to go through that depression again". But my heart continued to swell. It said, no Jess. Just NO. You know there's another baby boy waiting for you. Get er done. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Before we knew it we were pregnant. I remember worrying over the gender over and over again once we found out we were pregnant. One night I was tossing and turning and decided to say a prayer... "Heavenly Father, just let it be a boy. I know it's supposed to be a boy. I know Luke is supposed to have a brother. I don't know if I can do this over again." And BAM!!! BOOM!!! WHACK!!! The spirit told my heart... It's a boy. Now go to bed. And I did. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sure enough it was a boy! It took us a long time to decide on a name... first we wanted to name him Ammon. It's a special name to me! And I wanted it so bad! But then it just kept feeling wrong... around month 6 we decided it wasn't right. The name Jake settled on our hearts. Luke and Jake. Big Jake. I thought, it's perfect!!! And it was!!! Middle name you ask? That would be Micheal, after my first best friend, my Daddy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tyler urged me to write down my thoughts in the hospital and handed me the laptop... this is it... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><i>The night
before going to the hospital to have baby Jake was an emotional one. My mind
was going in a million different directions. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><i>Four
kids???<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><i>How am I
going to do this?<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><i>Will I
ever be able to stay on top of life again?<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><i>How will
the kids, especially Luke, deal with the new baby?<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><i>How will
I ever love a little boy as much as I love my Lukeman?<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

was jumping, bouncing, leaping!!! Everywhere!!! <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><i>The house
was filled with joy, excitement, and anticipation! Everyone knew something big
was about to happen. Even my belly. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><i>I asked
Tyler to help calm my nerves and give Luke and I both a blessing. Both of which
were the sweetest blessings of my life. I knew I didn’t need to worry about Luke
anymore, that it would be an adjustment, but that this little brother of his
was going to be his best bud for life. I knew that things would go smoothly
with my csection. Not just smoothly- but that it would be one of the sweetest
and best experience of my life. That knowledge and peace filled me up and
hushed my anxiety and worry away. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><i>And it
was one of the sweetest, if not THE sweetest of experiences of my entire life.
Everything from the IV, to the spinal block, to the recovery, the the amazing
people I was blessed to have help me in the hospital has been amazing. I was
able to SEE everything that was happening! I saw my baby boy leave my body and
come into the world. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! My
prayers of nine months were answered when all my requests were answered and
they gave my baby to me immediately! <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><i>I fell in
love.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><i>In one
tiny moment, it felt as if my heart filled up my entire body. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, for the longest time I'd refer to my family as, "our little family".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After saying this recently I've realized that our family isn't so little anymore! Yep, we're adding another baby Payne to mix! Soon, we'll be a family of 6! Plus one enormous dog. ;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I look back on all we've accomplished as a family I can't help but feel overwhelmingly grateful.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Grateful for these 3 crazy, rambunctious kiddos.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Grateful for a home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Grateful for a job.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Grateful for so many blessings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Although the thought of having 4 kids makes me feel nervous, I know it's meant to be! And that it'll be great! Crazy, but great! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here we go!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dixie tries to be ferocious with her deep, rumbling dog bark, and her proud, defensive stance...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But we know she's nothing but a big softie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's been a year since we've had Dixie and if I could go back I wouldn't change a thing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We love her SOOO much!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While I got started on Maggie's hair this morning, Rachel decided to give Dixie a hair-do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I heard endless and quite hysterical laughing coming from downstairs and decided to check it out.... </span><br />
<a href="http://s802.photobucket.com/user/aggiepains/media/aggiepains004/DSC_1591%20copy_zpsrlvouzbx.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img alt=" photo DSC_1591 copy_zpsrlvouzbx.jpg" border="0" src="http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy302/aggiepains/aggiepains004/DSC_1591%20copy_zpsrlvouzbx.jpg" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Luke wants in on the action and is pretty territorial about Dixie! haha!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Get off her! She's mine!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We love you Dixie dog!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now come here Miss Rachel and let me do YOUR hair! :)</span><br />
