To have a 3rd or not to have a 3rd...

That is the burning question that I can't get off my mind. I am losing at least 2 hrs of sleep thinking of every pro and con to adding another baby into the family. I try to not be selfish with my reasons but everything I think of for not wanting another is selfish. Please pray that God will really show Jarrett and me the answer to this burning question. This is a topic that weighs heavily on our minds everyday.

Boys will be boys!




Davis is so much fun right now. He loves to sing and play "band." He is totally into making silly faces and babysitting Reese. He keeps me on my toes and keeps my mind thinking with all of his questions. I think he makes me smarter with some of the questions he asks me. I have to really think about the answer sometimes. Who would have thought a 3 year old could stump their mother? Well, Davis does that often!


Playing Dress up











Here is Reese all dressed up with half of the sports bras I own. Every morning when I get dressed to go to the gym...Reese does too. I think she thinks they are necklaces but it is quite hilarious. My girl loves to play dress up! Whether it's my sports bras or her purse and beads, she always has something on!

This should melt your heart...

So, we were driving to the gym this morning and I was telling Davis and Reese that today is an extra special day. It's Good Friday and we celebrate Good Friday because this is the day that Jesus died for us to forgive our sins. Then I went on to tell them it was 6 years ago today that Pookie (Jarrett's mom) went to Heaven to be with Jesus. Davis said he wanted to give Pookie a hug when he gets to heaven. He then asked me if I was going to heaven and if daddy was too. Then he says, "Mommy, I don't want to go to heaven without Reese. I would miss her if she wasn't with me all the time." Hello tears! That just makes me smile to hear how much he loves his little sister and wants to be with her eternally in Heaven. I hope that time is not anytime soon, but I will be thankful and proud to know that both of my kids have chosen a life with Jesus in their hearts and that one day soon they will get to be with our eternal Father in Heaven. It is then that we can reunite with Pookie and TA and a lot of other loved ones.

Then Davis asks, "After Easter, is it boat season yet? I am ready for it to be boat season." I just thought that was so cute that the memories we are building at the lake are working. We even have a season for boats and lake! He must be an Amerman...favorite place to be is on the lake with family and friend.

Happy Easter. He is Risen!

Silly kids!

Davis' funny questions of the week:
"Why does Whataburger put water in their burgers?"
"Why did God paint my friend Josh black and paint me white? Did he run out of paint?"

Reese's funny things she is doing:
Sitting in the car seat, lifts her leg high and lets out a big FART. Then puts it down and says, "excuse you."
Carrying around a purse EVERYWHERE we go. She sits at the table with the purse and sleeps with the thing. Hilarious!

So excited for the weekend! My childhood best friend, Lindsay Sikes, is coming to visit tonight. Can't wait to show her our house, neighborhood and of course the kiddos. Looking forward to visiting with her and catching up on old times. Saturday night is date night! Jarrett and I are going to the neighborhood shindig gala. Can't wait for a night out with my hubby...much needed!
