Guest Blog- Breastfeeding 101

We all know breast is the best, but it's not always possible. I'm so thankful Amy Norris shared her breastfeeding experience to remind everyone that we don't know what obstacles a mother might be going through, but we do know that support always goes a long way!!

Baby Girl's Name is......

Man Oh Man, it's been a trip trying to decide baby girl's name! I don't remember it being this difficult with the boys, but Baby girl took us for a ride and I'm glad it's come to an end! Chris was extremely picky, which was starting to wear me down, but I also think it's sweet that he took so much time and deliberation on choosing a name for our Baby girl!

The special name we chose for our little girl is.....

Josie Kathryn Jones


We just fell in love with Josie as soon as it rolled off my lips. The other 100 names I suggested to Chris only received a curled nose, so I knew this was the winner.

Josie is also special to us for many reasons!


My grandmother- Betty Jo
Chris's mom- Jo'el
Chris's grandfather- Joseph
Jo'el's deceased brother- Joey
Chris's grandmother- Joycelyn



It's a perfect fit for our family.....a special way to make our loved ones a part of our Baby girl!

Kathryn gave it that final touch, it's such a classical, beautiful name and it's after my mother- Kathy!

I also love the meaning!!! Josie means God will add and Kathryn means pure.....

GOD WILL ADD PURE!  

Finally, we have a name we love that's meaningful to our family! Baby girl now has a name.....

My little Picasso

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
Pablo Picasso


We come from a long line of athletes and sports fanatics, but to be honest, I would be delighted if my children fell head over heels for the arts! I would be just as thrilled to admire their masterpieces at an art show or be consumed with the sound at a concert as I would to cheer on the sidelines. No matter what their little hearts desire, I will be front and center....proud and loud, well not too loud, not obnoxious loud!!!!!


Colby shows signs of being artistic, so I encourage his artsy side as much as I possibly can!!


Give that boy paint and a brush, and he is on cloud nine!!! 


I put his masterpieces on display to express their importance.....he takes pride in his special art exhibit!




Colby's favorite canvas is......

his little brother!!

Chasey Poo is always quick to volunteer!


What a sport! Who am I kidding, he's only compliant because he enjoys the taste test!

Until Next Time.......
