Introducing...

Yesterday I told you the sad news of the summer... and I told you to come back today to hear the happiest news of it all.  If you follow me on Instagram, you already know, but if not...
Savannah is here!!!

Through out the summer, we had many issues to deal with, but at the same time,  I was enjoying being pregnant.   Marc and I had presumed we were done having children.  We had let "nature take its course" and nothing had happened...
I was a bit sad, as I did not realize with Broxton that he was not only the first for everything, he appeared to be the only and last too.  I will admit that I was a bit sad.  I had totally thought that we would have more than one, so to look back and realize that while I was enjoying the firsts of everything going through being pregnant,  I would not get to experience it again.  Then, it all changed.  I was pregnant and would get to experience it all again.  We knew that this time around would be the last, as I just wanted 2 babies of my own.  I was lucky to never really be sick, so I have no horror stories of morning sickness or anything like that.   I was able to enjoy it all.
Feeling her kick from the inside.  Knowing that I was growing a precious little one inside me.  I tell you, God never ceases to amaze me.  I am blessed and I know it!

Seeing Broxton with his little sister is the best feeling.  I love this photo as it captures his excitement.  I just hope his love for her carries on throughout their whole life, because as of right now... he is one protective big brother!   He loves holding her, feeding her, helping to bathe her.  He gets upset if she isn't there to pick him up after school.  He had to take pictures of her in to show his class when she was born.  He had to "show her off" at the school Open House.  He is in love and it makes me so happy!!!
This picture is so special to me for several reasons.  One, it is my baby girl  Two, the pink blanket she is laying on was made for her by her Great- Great Aunt.  Three, the blanket she is wrapped in was made by her Great Grandmother.

She is such a sweet baby.  Having her here is a blessing and we are enjoying each day with her.
Stay tuned for more posts, I just wanted to explain where we had been lately!

    Welcome to the world! She is so cute! I love A) That you had a girl. I know any healthy baby would be wonderful, but you have all those boys in the family already. :) B) Her name! I'm so glad someone got to use the name Savannah. It's so pretty. C) That Broxton warmed up to her right away. I think his age helps. D) Those two blankets came from relatives. How cool is that!

    Aw your sweet babies. My grandmother made blankets me, my mom and three of my four (she didn't get to meet my last one). They were very cherished items. I love that you're loving yours too! She's a beauty, Noelle. You and your hubby make gorgeous children! I know you already know. :)

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
