A little catch up...

2008-08-28T14:40:00.008-05:00

I am going to post a lot a pictures and try to catch ya'll up a little bit...

Starting with the goodie I found today...

My plans are to sand it a bit, secure down the shelves, paint it red and put it in Jaxson's new fireman bedroom. Now, first I should say I have EVERYTHING I need to complete this bedroom except the room painted!!! I just can't bring myself to do that. I don't exactly know why but I have been putting it off for a while now. Here is a preview of the other elements for his room...

Thanks to my very good and talented friend Kim Wheeler he will have this "J" hanging above his twin bed!!!

This is his Vintage firetruck bedding from Pottery Barn Kids. I have the comforter as well. He LOVES it!!! He will also have a train table that is currently being stored in the garage... it will have some fixing up as well and instead of putting trains on it I am going to have a fire station with firetrucks and ambulances!!! I can't wait to post pictures of the finished product!

On to my Lizzie girl!!! Lizzie started 1st grade this year!!! So far she loves her teacher and all is well. Here is a picture of her on her first day!!! Look closely and you can tell she lost her first tooth!!!

I remember posting about the kids birthday parties in a blog a while back... so here is a shot of Jaxson dressed up as Micky Mouse...

And last and I mean last hehe our Mad Man... I havent posted hardly any pictures of him.. and I feel so bad about it!!! Here are a few for your viewing pleasure....

This last one if a picture of Maddox and Mommy Jenny. Mommy Jenny is my sister and the kids just love her.

Hope you've enjoyed this little catch up. Hopefully I will post more often and not have to do this!!!

THE BUS!

2008-08-20T07:55:00.004-05:00

Okay, I feel like today was the first day I really " let go" of my baby girl. She started riding the school bus today for the first time. I have ALWAYS taken her to school and been right there in the pick up line at the end of the day, but today was different! To top it all off as we were walking to the bus with the other neighborhood kids... I said wait wait I need a hug... she didnt even turn around to say bye... she was just GONE! There I was on the curb just wanting to ball my eyes out partly because I no longer was in control of her transportation but mostly because she didnt even say bye. She has been SO excited about riding the bus. We literally live in the neighborhood across from the school so she gets picked up at 7:30 and she is home by 3:30. Also , my neighbors two kids ride the bus with her so she was super excited about that. The bus thing just really seems to easy especially with the boys schedules and not to mention the gas it burns sitting in the line for 30 mins or longer to pick her up!!! Oh yeah did I even mention that before! There are 9 first grades and no telling how many more upper grade levels since this year she gets out with allllllll the other kids! So, I decided that since the bus picks her up and drops her off right in front of my house... let me say that again... right in front of my house.... I couldnt resist her begging! So, today I let my only little girl ride that big ole yellow bus!

Back....again

2008-07-15T08:29:00.003-05:00

Yep, it's officially been for-e-v-e-r since I have even looked at this blog! I must say though after reading my last post I actually got some of the things mentioned done!!! I DID get rid of the nasty nasty carpet and put down laminate floors! Yay me! I also painted the entire down stairs. I will post pics as soon as I get it all decorated and the way I WANT IT ( ha ha Kim) !
Jaxson had his 2nd birthday party during my disappearance. He is absolutely obsessed with Mickey Mouse so we had a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse party and he guest of honor showed up dressed as Mickey himself!!!! His grandmother Whitt and his aunt Holly had everything to do with that! I even had no clue! He was precious and he had a great time! Also during my disappeareance Mitchell and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. We didn't do anything fancy. He did take me out to eat!
Lizzie had her birthday as well. We trucked to Franklin for her party! She wanted a sweet and sassy salon party! Can I say there isnt a more girly place on the freakin planet! It was too cute! She is now 6 and about to start 1st grade! I have a 1st grader??!!??!! Does that even seem possible? Where does the time go?
Speaking of where does the time go.... we are about to celebrate Maddox's 1st birthday.
How sad can I be???? My baby is turning 1 and then I won't have anymore babies!!!!!!! I will not know what to do without a baby! I have had one for so long!!!! One part of me is relieved but one part of me is sad because its the end of all that and on to raising them through childhood! SCARY!!!!!
Well that is all for now and hopefully I will have you some pics soon and I am going to try my best to keep up with the blogging world.

I'M BACK!!!

2008-04-02T13:11:00.004-05:00

I'M BACK!!!

Ok, so I was tired of being harrassed because I was not blogging so here I am. I'm back! Never thought people would look at this thing but guess they really do!!! Lot's has happened in the few short months I took a break from my blogging... Christmas, which was great as always. The kids got WAAAAAAAAAY to much (as always) and of course the new year began! So far this year things havent changed much but that won't be that way for long!!! In the next few weeks we will be painting the living room/dining room combo and putting in hard wood!!! Can I get a Whoop Whoop!!!! I am so freaking excited about the new floor!!! This carpet MUST and I say MUST go!!!
I'm trying to decide on a paint color.... any ideas??? Remember I have sea green couches... ideas are welcome!!! Something light..... right now they are brown and I'm ready to lighten the room up!
Next on the list is Jaxson's 2nd birthday at the end of this month. April 28 he will be 2 and we will be throwing a Mickey Mouse birthday party!!! Then, we have Miss Lizzie's 6th birthday in May and she will be having a party at a kids salon in Franklin! She's quite our little diva and last but not least of our birthday celebrations we have precious Maddox's 1st birthday the 21st of July... and somewhere in the middle of all that Mitchell and I will try to find the time to celebrate our 3rd anniversary.
Something exciting... Mitchell and I are taking a road trip to Tunica, Mississippi April 12 for a concert and while I am relaxing at the spa Mitchell is going to the shooting range for some one on one time with his other baby... his gun!!!
So, right now that is all that is going on with us. I will post some recent pictures of the kids soon.

A few more decorations

2007-11-28T15:27:00.000-06:00

Here are a few more pictures of my holiday decor... my dining table!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...

2007-11-28T15:18:00.001-06:00

It's that time of year again and I just love decorating for Christmas. These pictures don't do my decorating justice but I had to share my beginnings of my holiday decor. I am not finished yet and there will be more pictures soon.

How funny is this???

2007-11-25T19:13:00.000-06:00

Check this out! Jaxson was really jammin' to Lizzie's ipod tonight... It was too cute!

My big fall

2007-11-12T09:06:00.001-06:00

Ok, so I am officially retarded! Mitchell had just put on a pot of beans and then had gone upstairs with Jaxson and I was in the den with Maddox. So, all the sudden I hear the pot of beans boiling over so I jump up and most of you know I block the walkway between the couch and the wall with the playpen so Jax can't get out so of course my thought was to jump over the couch like I have done just fine a million times before... not this time!!! Yeah, so I am pretty sure that my foot didn't
make it over the couch and I slammed straight into the wall and then to the ground! These are my war wounds!

MOM, YOU GOT A JOB?!?!?!?

2007-11-11T20:15:00.000-06:00

Ok, so yes its true I have a job, but before I got into details I must tell you about what Lizzie said about it. I was talking to our babysitter and discussing her schedule and happened to mention something about the job in front of Lizzie before I had told her about it and she turned to me and said," Mom, you got a job?" in a very shocked voice like I had never worked before in my life! It was totally hilarious! Anyways, on to the details of my job... yes I can hardly believe it myself but I have started working with my dad on his Sirius Satellite radio program every day M-F. I am so excited about this opportunity! I have always wanted to work in the radio industry but always knew if I wanted a family it wouldn't be possible, but doing this it gives me a chance to do something I have ALWAYS wanted to do, get paid for it, and still have time for my family. Right now... Life's Grand!

New Projects

2007-11-04T20:25:00.000-06:00

Ok, so here are a few new things in the house. My newly fall decorated mantel, my new fountain which is my new favorite element in the kitchen, and the last few pictures are of mine and Mitchell's bedroom which just recently got a facelift with new curtains, comforter, and monogrammed shower curtain. The monogrammed bath towels and new mats are coming soon. Let me know what you think about it all . Also, please post any ideas you may have as to what I can put in the space about our bed. It needs something super special to make our room makeover complete.

Maddox Milestone

2007-11-03T07:55:00.000-05:00

This is going to be short and sweet because Jaxson and I are both sick, but I just had to share with everyone that Maddox rolled over for the first time this morning. I was so excited!

Halloween Part 2 My Spooks!

2007-11-02T10:21:00.000-05:00

Okay, so I am a bad mom. I didn't take any real good pictures of my kids nor did I even get one of Maddox, but my mother and sister-in-law got several pictures of the kids and when I get those I will share. As you can tell Lizzie was a fairy pixie, Jaxson was a lion but you can't tell just how cute he was without his hat on, and Maddox was a monkey. After I got them all ready I was way to exhausted to try to get pictures but believe me when I say they had a blast!

Halloween Part 1

2007-11-02T09:59:00.000-05:00

Okay, so as promised here is the start of many pictures to come. I have so many I have been hording! By the way I did some thinking and the first place I looked for my adaptor there it was! Atleast one thing is going my way today! Now on to the pics. You are viewing a select few of my favorite Halloween decorations and my super groovy shelf idea that will be changed out seasonally thanks to the help of my very talented friend Kim Wheeler! Enjoy!

Okay, I know these aren't the best pictures but you have to imagine me trying to take this picture. These shelves are hanging on the wall in my kitchen directly behind my table and chairs and there is a light fixture hanging down so I am holding the light fixture with one hand and trying to take a steady picture with the other. There was no possible perfect shot. Sorry!
Isn't this the cutest Boo you have ever seen?

Kim I just thought you would love this piece!

Can't Win For Loosing!

2007-11-02T08:09:00.000-05:00

OK, I have got to get on the ball! I either break something or lose something all the time! Now I am so aggravated because I have all these pictures I was to post and I can't find my freakin adaptor for my memory card! I just cant win for for loosing! Anywho I promise to have all the pictures up soon. Just know there probably will be an over abundance of them... Stay Tuned!

I finally got one!

2007-10-30T11:47:00.000-05:00

Ok Kim I finally broke down and broke the bank and went to Radio Shack and got a stinking powercord! I never knew that powercords could cost so much money. Personally, I think it is a big rip off but the powercord is a necessary object so I had to have one.I am so glad I do have one now so I can keep up with the world and all my friends who are confined to their homes just as I am. So, from here on out if there isnt a blog update then it is just laziness!

The reason for no blogs...

2007-10-23T18:33:00.001-05:00

Ok so the reason I have not been posting blogs is not because I am lazy or just cant find the time its because I dont have a powercord for my computer and thats where the lazy part comes in... I dont want to drive to Smyrna to get one at RadioShack because thats the only place that that seems to carry it around here. So, I promise very soon I will hopefully make it to RadioShack and then I will begin blogging like I originally planned to do. Right now I am at my parents house hogging their computer... so I better make the most of it.
Not too much going on in the Whittenburg household these days other that Maddox turning 3 months old the 21st. His first milestone!!! I just love his little smile and cute giggle. He is changing so much everyday. Its hard to believe hes my last but I am thankful he is and that I have 3 beautiful; healthy children. Pictures will come soon!!!
Lizzie is enjoying kindergarten so far and she has a fieldtrip planned for Halloween to the pumpkin patch. I cant wait! Lizzie is also in cheerleading with my neice Carleigh and shes is about to embark in Ti Chi ( dont have a clue if I spelled that right or not) in the upcoming next few weeks. Stay tuned for blogs about that. We got her a way too cute outfit. It's red with black dragons... a must see to believe!
Jaxson, my main man is just driving me crazy right now. He's cutting literally like 6 teeth right now and on top of that he doesnt want to keep his pants or diaper on these days! So, you can only imagine. I won't tell my stories of the past two days with this just know its been hillaroiusly nasty!!!
Again, check back in a few days and I should have some pictures posted and I promise I am going to venture out to Smyrna and get that powercord because if I dont im going to go crazy without contact from the outside world!

Jaxson

2007-08-27T20:21:00.000-05:00

So this is my Jax man! He is as sweet as candy and this picture just shows his bubbly personality.

Who's Who???

2007-08-27T20:06:00.001-05:00

Which baby is Jaxson and which is Maddox??? Let me know what ya think!!!

Maddox Update

2007-08-27T20:03:00.000-05:00

So I took Maddox to the doctor for his check up and he is already 10lbs 4 ozs and a month old. Where does the time go???

Lizzie's first day of kindergarten!!!

2007-08-27T19:51:00.000-05:00

Okay, I officially have a child in kindergarten!!! Here's the story about our first day of school...
Lizzie and I got to her school and took many pictures before ever entering the building. Then, we procede to enter the massive double doors in the front of the building and I ask Lizzie, " Are you ready for your first day of kindergarten?" She replies," Yes I'm ready" so in we go. We get half way down the hall and she grabs my pant leg and says very dramatically," I'm not ready, I'm not ready... This place is too big" I tried to console her the best way I knew how and then I told her as we turned the corner to her hallway this is it, this is the kindergarten hallway... she looked up saw her teacher and let go and ran to her and said hey mom I'm ready! You would just have to know Lizzie to know that this is just so something she would do! She is truly my lil drama queen!!!

2007-08-08T15:55:00.000-05:00

Maddox Rion is finally here!!! Coming in at a whopping 7lbs 13 ozs (thats the biggest baby I have ever had) and 19 1/2 inches long.... he is just absolutely perfect. Big sister and big brother couldn't be happier with their new brother. More pictures of Maddox and the kids are coming very soon!!!

I DID IT!!!

2007-08-08T15:53:00.000-05:00

Ok Kim Wheeler I created this blog thing! You will probably be the only one to ever look at it but oh well... I guess I will have fun with it!!!
