Mud In Heaven: InstaFriday

InstaFriday

It's InstaFriday...whoop whoop!

Linking up with Life. Rearranged. for a brief rundown of our week through the lens of grainy Instragram pics. If you'd like to follow me, I'm @susan7610.

Pancakes for lunch? Yes, please. (and let me clarify that I'm Southern, which means I eat peanut butter on my cakes...it's the Southern thing to do)

We spent Saturday grillin' and muddin' with friends. Pretty sure the kids had just as much fun as the adults.

"Somethin' bout a truck..."

Dirt daubber #1

Muddin' hot Mamas!

Dirt daubber #2

Nice job, McDonald's with the new menu, featuring calorie counts in plain view! It made me think twice about iced coffee and a sausage burrito...opted for an egg mcmuffin and diet coke instead.

I've been waiting for this beauty to arrive in the mail for weeks...and it finally came! My very own bubble necklace.

Housework Day + Misbehaving Briggy = Exhausted Mama

He finally chilled out with 21 minutes of Yo Gabba Gabba on Netflix before naptime

Put together a few girly things as part of a baby shower gift, and I'll be darned if it adds fuel to my baby girl fever!

This boy loves the chalkboard (thanks, B!) -- When I asked what he was drawing, he said..."a helicopter." Right.

Yes. That's 2 lines. Which means our life's about to change. Welcome baby #3 -- we're so happy to have you!!

I can't think of another phrase used to describe my husband Justin than "My Better Half." He is truly just that. Aside from the values we are exactly alike in, there are an enormous amount of things that we are counter opposites. All in all, we complement each other well. If there's one thing I've learned over my years in marriage (and am still learning...work in progress), it's that it is hard and takes effort on both parts. However, the good times definitely outweigh the bad. I'm blessed beyond measure for this man who works so hard to provide for our family and be the hero that our boys deserve. He is the down-to-earth, simple life loving person that I'm striving to be more like. I'm grateful that he loves me for me, at my best and at my worst. He makes me laugh and fills our home with joy. I, quite possibly, could go on and on like a lovesick 14-year-old. Thank you Justin for being you and loving me and adoring our children. I know they see Jesus in you and am proud to call you mine.

Tears come to my eyes when I think of my growing family. It took about 3.4 seconds after delivering my first child to realize that this is what God put me on the planet for. With that joy, also came the overwhelming realization of the responsibility that entails...which is still at times overwhelming! To my boys, I am beyond blessed to be called your mother. Hearing the pitter-patter of your little feet first thing in the morning makes my day. My life has been enhanced beyond measure just because of you. You are my Heart. Harrison Reid is my first-born and there is no truer boyish boy! He is rowdy, rambunctious, and all things dirt and trucks and tractors. He keeps us rolling in laughter with his anecdotes and jokes and silly sayings. My sweet-souled boy. He is now a big preschooler and no doubt this little blog will fill up quickly with stories and photos about his days. I love you, Harrison, and thank you for making me a Mama. Brigdon David is (at this point) my baby and the sweetest, happiest baby - though I am a tad partial! Even at 9-months-old, he has a good little heart and that gummy smile can bring tears to my eyes. I think back to my pregnancy and how we longed for this baby to be a girl, and were surprised when we were told he was a boy. God created this child, this boy, for our family. I could not imagine our life without him. I love to watch Brigdon interact with Harrison and had no idea how blessed I would be by their love for each other - even at their young ages. Brigdon, thank you for being my baby. I can't wait to fill the pages of this blog with your little life story. God has big things in store for you.
