Rebellious or Lazy...You decide!!!

Well, what can I say!! Been kinda busy...and lazy when I'm not busy. (hence the non existent blog updates!!) My mom says I'm rebellious for not updating...I prefer lazy!

Anyway, not too much going on. I work all the time, and when I'm not working, I'm usually hanging out with my little man. Occasionally I will go out, but most of the time I would rather relax at home, read a book, maybe catch a flick, or just hit the sack!

Colton will be 2 1/2 at the end of this month! Man, time sure does fly by! He's talking like a pro, I don't know where he comes up with some of the things he says. I'm not saying that they are off the wall, or don't fit the conversation. I'm saying that sometimes he says such grown up sentences, I don't know where he even heard them!!! Like, once he was telling me about something, and at the end of the conversation, he said "How bout that, Mom?!" It was hilarious!!! He's such a sweet boy. He plays so well, and is so good at cleaning up and organizing...we all know he didn't get that from me...definitely from my mom! But, it doesn't matter where he got it from, I just think it's great that he has it! He has two new little friends to play with every day, in the mornings at Dianne's house (she's the babysitter). Luke is 2 and Sam is 1. They are brothers, sons of a guy from my highschool that was a few years older than me. Anyway, Colt has fun with them. Not much else new with him. He loves to read, and he's started singing more...it's so cute! He's pretty good at matching our pitch (sp). He'll definitely be musical when he's older.

As for me, I've decided, for real this time, to go back to school this summer. I plan on getting my nursing degree and being a Labor and Delivery Nurse. I'm pretty excited! I feel like I will actually be moving forward in my life, and not just working all the time to pay the bills. I'm sure some of you have felt that way before. I still have some basics to take, so that will keep me busy for a while. So, if you all will keep me in your prayers...I'm sure I will need it!!!

Caleb, Colton's daddy, is over in Iraq right now. He's been there for 6 months now, so 6 months left. Well, a little less than that. He says he should be back by the end of September. I know we will all be glad when that time gets here. Colton has done pretty well with him gone. Don't get me wrong, he asks for him every day, and when he gets upset or in trouble, he cries for Daddy. But, for the most part, he has done fine. I just keep telling him that Daddy will be home in a "puckle" (his version of couple) of months. That usually seems to work! So, keep Colton and Caleb in your prayers.

I think that's it for now. I will post some pics. Sorry it's taken me like 4 months to re-post!! This time I will shoot for 3, and then after that 2!!! jk Hope you guys are all doing well. Glad to see that all of the babies are doing wonderful, and the mammas seem happy as can be. We should definitely all work on having us a little mama/baby get-together!!!

Love,

Me and my Little Man!

Here is the latest picture of me and my little man! We took it after church today! I am going to try and take plenty more over the holidays! I love pictures!!! And I love posting them on my blog, now!!!!

The Cousins!!

Look how cute my sweet boys are! These are the first official pictures of the cousins, Colton & Hudson! Are they precious or what! Colton kept trying to give Hudson his pacifier, and Hudson didn't mind it one bit! They look like best friends sitting next to eachother, with Colton's arm around Hundson!!! I will post them as I get them!!

Well, I finally learned how to upload pictures...it turned out to be quite simple!!! All this time I have wasted, not knowing how! Anyway, this is my little man at the park! He had on a new pair of overalls, which the button popped off right away, so he had to wear one strap off!!! He looked pretty cool! Anyway, he had tons of fun. He is such a big boy. He just jumped right out there, and took over the park like he owned the place. He wasn't scared, or nervous! He knew how to do everything. I was amazed! Here I am, being the mother, nervous for him...keeping my hand close to catch him if he fell, but he didn't even need me there! It was kinda sad! But, I got over it quite quickly! Hope you guys enjoy the pics! Now that I know how to do it, I will put tons more up! Yall have a great day!

RACHEL HAD HER BABY!!!

As I'm sure everybody already knows, Rachel gave birth to a beautiful boy...Hudson Michael Phillips! He is precious!

Is everyone happy now? I keep getting comments about how long Rachel has been in labor. Well, I am in the process of getting a new home computer so that I can update on a regular basis, and download pictures. So guys, bare with me. I am trying to update my life for all of you.

I hope everyone is doing wonderful. We are enjoying the cold weather! I just hope it lasts longer than a couple days!!!

17 days till CHRISTmas!!!! Hooray!!!

Alright, enough from me, back to work!!

Rachel's in LABOR!!!!!!

Well...today it's all happening!! Rachel started having contractions last night about 8:00. They have been progressing through this morning! She has not been admitted into the hospital because her contractions need to be 5 minutes apart and at least 1 minute long for at least an hour. Well, she's got the 1 minute part down, but the 5 minutes has not been consitant. But, we are thinking by later this afternoon she should be ready to go to the hospital and get this show on the road! I will try and update before we leave for the hospital, but I won't promise anything. But, I will definitely update once everything is over and we have a sweet baby boy to hold!!!

Lindsay had her baby!!!!!

Lindsay had her baby girl early this morning, around 3:45. Both are doing very well. I won't give any details, because I know that Lindsay will want to do that on her blog!! So, just to put all of your minds at ease, mommy & baby, and daddy, are all doing very well!!! YEA!!!!!
