The Big Brother and Sister meets Baby Brother!

So we made everyone wait till we got in the room and our family came in to reveal Boy/Girl. Since I had a C-section, Jason and I were in recovery with Chase for about an hour. For that hour we got so many texts and calls but Jason would not budge and did not reveal boy/girl. We wanted to tell our family in person when they walked in, so when they came in the room Jason videoed him telling them all "It's a Boy!" He did not wait till he was all the way in the room so I just heard their reaction which were squeals of delight. It was so fun and then they came to see him. Parker was a bit nervous at first and Laney well she was down right scared and would not come near me the entire time I was in the hospital. It made me so sad! She was afraid of the bed though and all the things on me. She loved the baby and so did Parker. She wanted to hold baby all the time. Enjoy the pics below of the brother/sister at the hospital! Stay tuned...lots more to post! My boys and me!

Laney meeting Chase for first time. She just doesn't know about all of this!

Look at that face. It is like can I please just get out of here and go to bed! It was about 8 pm!

And below her warming up a bit

Parker and his first meeting of his baby brother. See he was a bit timid!

Our attempt of a family of 5 picture. Laney was not feeling it!
I still can't believe we are party of 5!

And of course I had to get them matching big brother/sister shirts. Had to be creative though since Parker is way to old for appliques but I think they turned out cute!

The Big Sister!

My precious little men!

All 3 of my munchkins!

Hold baby hold baby. That is all she will say!

How precious is that!!! I am so blessed with these precious 3!

Me with all 3 of my babies! Last day the kids were there and she finally warmed up to me but this is as close as she got to me!

Chase's Birthday!!

All I can say is Wow! This last month has been amazing and amazingly crazy! Our family of 5 is now complete with our " little man" although not so little for a newborn! He was born on July 6 at 5:35 by c-section. The night before I was up ALL night long with some sort of contraction, cramps and backpain. I called my OB and the nurse said you need to come get checked. I was scheduled for a c-section on the 8th. So we went to Memphis all packed just to stay the night in a hotel but the Dr. said, I had progressed more and there was no sense in sending me home because it would probably happen in the middle of the night. So he said lets do this today! I was so nervous about my first c-section but he was just measuring much bigger than any baby I had ever had so drs did not want to chance it. I am so glad they are much smarter than me! As all of you know, we did not know if Chase was a boy or girl. I have to say it was so amazing to find out at birth how I did. The dr. said "whatever it is, it has a lot of hair!" Jason raised up, looked over the curtain as they were pulling the baby out and all I heard is him saying "It's a boy, Its a boy!!" That was so awesome hearing it from Jason I just can't tell you! The nurses all said what a big boy and kept talking about his big hands and Jason did too! Seemed like 10 minutes of them cleaning him up and when they took him to the scales is when I saw him for the first time! All I saw was all this black hair! He was precious! He was a big ole 9 pounds, 37 cm (15 inch) head and 14 1/2 inch chest! Yes, thank goodness for c-sections! Now that I am in a decent routine, I will post more soon I promise so check back for the big brother/sister reactions and our first month home!!! Getting cleaned up and my bracelets on!
Look at that hair!

Yep, I was 9 pounds!

Our first picture!

Sweet precious baby!

It's a BOY!!!!!

Joseph "Chase" Harris born July 6, 2010 9 pounds 20.5 inches long

Will post more later...3 is a handfull but we are so in love with these 3! God is so Good!

A little Father/Son Time

The past few months Parker and Jason have really been spending lots of time together. Jason has always taken Parker to do things guys love to do but since Parker is older now and out for summer they really have been doing lots. Parker loves to golf and Jason takes him to play often and every July 4th our Country Club has a family golf scramble where any age can play. Parker and Jason along with a few others on their team won it this year! Parker was so proud! He said he sunk a long putt for them! Jason also this past week took Parker fishing. Parker all on his own caught his first bass! He was pumped about that too! They also have been spending lots of time together playing the Wii at lunch and at night. They (well mostly Jason and Parker watching) have finished Super Mario Wii and Mario Galaxy 2 this summer. They are working on Zelda. I am not sure who is having more fun. It is kinda funny...Jason hasn't been much into video games since I have known him. They have lots of fun together! We are so thankful to have a Daddy like Jason! I just love that he is into all these things and is sharing them with Parker! If it were hunting season, I am sure they would have been in a deer stand too lately!

Oh and baby update is there is no baby yet! But I am scheduled for July 8th so stay tuned! We will have a sweet baby girl or boy really soon!

Great T-Ball Season!

Parker and his little team had a great year. Rough start with a few coaching issues but a few of the Dads and Jason took over as coaches after ours just disappeared and the boys really improved throughout the season and learned a lot. This was a great group of little boys. I loved watching them play! To see their little faces when they won and tied the top 3 teams was priceless! The last game we had a team party afterwards at Lost Dog Pizza. They each got a trophy and you would have thought this little boys won the world series! It was so special! Good job boys and I can't believe Parker is moving up to Coach Pitch! Great group of little boys!
Parker and his trophy!

Parker, AJ and Jacob...Parker and Jacob are playing on a traveling team..have I mentioned that yet? They won't really start playing till fall and not really even till the spring but they are practicing already!

Laney's First Pony Tail!

I bought some tiny ponytail holders a few weeks ago to try and start using them because Laney's hair is fine and it helps keep the bow in at school. I got the idea when she came home a few times from school with them in her hair. I have tried several times to put a real pony tail in her hair with no success. Well Laney is very much a "monkey see monkey do" kind of girl. Her teacher even told me that Laney has for "platts" in her hair one day after Ms. Shanta was putting them in Zoria's hair! LOL! Well one day last week ms. Shanta was putting a real pony tail in Anna Patton's hair and Laney wanted one too! It was so cute and now she will let me do it! She just now has gotten enough hair for a real one!

The Beach 2010!

When Parker got out of school, we headed to Sandestin. It was perfect and perfect timing since a few more weeks and I could not travel and there was no danger or oil in site! All the days were nothing but beautiful and going in May it was not as hot or crowded! Usually we have a big crowd going but this year it was just us and my Mom which honestly made it so low key and not stressful. It was truly relaxing. Jason and Mom pretty much let me sit in the beach chair all week. We just had a great great time! While we were there, Jason and I on the 20th celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. It was great! Enjoy the pictures! My big picture above on the blog too is from our trip. It was our last night there and notice how blonde their hair got from the first picture below (our first night there) to the above picture! I pay good money for that kind of highlight job and they get for free! LOL! Not to mention their tan. They have good complexions and I am jealous but that is ok. My sweet babies!

This picture just makes me SMILE everytime I look at it! They were being such hams and seriously have you ever seen a cuter brother/sister pair. Ok...maybe I am little bias!

10 years of the lots of laughter and some tears. So glad I have shared every moment with you Jason! Love you!!!

I was exactly 33 weeks and I thought we looked cute in orange but kids were so not in the mood!

Love this little face!

I think I can catch something too!

Laney thought she would try boogie boarding until the tiniest water would come up to her feet..she would run!

Hey Momma!Parker's other fav thing to do..boogie board! He was so good at it this time!

Football with Daddy and Laney just checking things out

Playin in the water puddles

This beach stuff is hard work

Parker and Jas played lots of football on the beach and this was one of those times..think he just threw the ball!

Checking out their catch

One of Parker's fav things to do at the beach...catch fish and crabs!
