Greyson James

God has blessed us with a health baby boy! Mom and baby are doing great recovering at home. Thanks to family, friends, church, mommy group, CBS, neighbors, and anyone else that have prayed, made meals, had babyshowers, and everything else to help us welcome our son to the world! We are so blessed!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

Fun in the great outdoors

Weekend

We went to Bethlehem morning at our Church where the kids did crafts, saw live animals, and learned the story of Baby Jesus. The girls have been busy with art and craft projects at home too. In the pictures they made a hand wreath and decorations for their Christmas tree in their room. With the nice cold weather, but no snow =(, we had some friends over for dinner, football, play time, and roasting marshmallows over a cozy bonfire.

Adventure to the North Pole

Okay I know I just posted yesterday but I am behind and trying to stay caught up. So who knew that the Bass Pro Shop would be a winter wonderland for the girls and the picture with Santa and activities are free. Can not beat a good family evening for free....

Here are some pictures of the girls painting on canvas to hang in their room and each one did a special painting for Greyson's nursery. They enjoyed getting their hands all messy.

Here is the final product on the nursery....except curtains. We are really pleased with the way it turned out and we are only 25 days away from the little one making his grand appearance.

Thanksgiving this year was a little different for us because inspite of all the "bad things" that have happened to us and our family we have sooooo much to be thankful for and the good Lord has been there every step of the way with His loving hands on us. We have never felt more close as a family and to our heavenly Father. I think I am most thankful that God is working on me and in me to make me the person I am suppose to be for His Glory and His Kingdon. I hope and feel that I have taken away from each experience everything that I am suppose too. I am so Thankful that I feel as though I might burst at times and anticipate what the good Lord has in store for us. I hope your Thanksgiving was a blessing for you all! We are looking forward to celebrating Jesus this Christmas season!

Friends for the weekend & Greyson's babyshower

A big thanks to the Harpers' & Beards' for coming down for a weekend of fun! The girls spent a lot of time shopping while the boys watched some football and played some tennis. We all had a fun time without the kids! Also a big thanks to Julie, Emily, & Ghazaleh for having a baby shower for us this past Saturday. Here are a some pics of the couples baby shower. The boys watched football while the girls talked and opened shower gifts. Thanks again to everyone for celebrating the new addition with us. Please excuse the ugly GA football on the cake but thanks to Julie for making it! =)

Playground Fun

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Thanks Nana and Grandpa for the Princess Costumes.....

Lula was really into the whole trick-or-treating this year which made it so much fun.



Phoebe's pumpkin was so full of candy she could hardly walk with it but she wasn't about to give it up.....

We had to watch where we stepped with the rainy weather it made it slippery. Sleeping Beauty took a fall and dropped her candy....we could hardly get her to leave because she kept checking to make sure she got every single piece and nothing was left behind. She is Anthony's child. =)

The princesses were carried back home in their chariot in style with a warm blanket and 2 pieces of candy of their choice.

This picture was taken at the last playgroup at my house. The kids had fun doing a craft but us moms were wore out. =)

Phoebe loves to brush and play with my hair...I think she is jealous because she does not have any hair but it is starting to grow a little.

This is Phoebe stuck in the cart and luckily I did not have to call the fire department.

This was taken before Anthony left for a business trip out in the front yard.

Here is a prego pic of me...it is not the best since I was fighting a sinus infection but this is all we have taken.

Had to tell....

So a couple of things that I thought were cute to share.......
I told the girls that once I put them to bed that they are not allowed to get out of bed for any reason, and since the living room is right under their room I can tell as soon as they get out of bed. SO I heard them and went up to their room to get on to them and they were in the floor praying together. I thought it was so sweet until Lula said "Mom we are praying for you to not be so angry and mad at us". Boy did that make me feel bad! So now I can hear them running around up there like crazy and they sound like two cats fighting but there is noway I am going up there.

My sweet husband said I was sexy because I can still use excel with formulas and all! Guess my prego brain hasn't completely been depleted of brain cells after all.

Lula is very curious about Greyson in my belly and is always asking questions. She thinks it is crazy that Greyson is in the dark. It really bothers her and she wants to give him a light. Good luck with that one. =)

I made the mistake of letting the girls watch Thundercats, thanks to DVR, I remembed that being one of my favs growing up and thought what harm could come of it. Well Lula insists we call her Lion-o. I am now know as Wily-Cat and her dad is Prince Cat. She sings the song and she has only watched like 25 minutes total.

Lula was trying to describe that her "energies" were bothering her and that is why her throat hurt and she was sneezing. I told her that I did not have a clue what she was talking about and she said " you know mom how you energies are bothering you right now and that is why you are sick". I finally figured out she was trying to say allergies not energies. They can get so touchy when you don't understand what they are trying to say.

Happenings.....

So I have been very behind on my posting so I have tried catching up and posted 5 different posts so be sure to check them out. We have been a whirlwind in the Masters' household but in a good way most of the time. The girls are in MMO 1 day a week and Anthony is traveling without us. This is because we have only eight weeks until Greyson makes his appreance. The nursery I am sad to say has not been touched but with the house on the market we are in limbo. We have someone very interested and wanting to put an offer on the house but we will see. We are looking forward to celebrating the holidays with the family and then I have a C-section scheduled for December 26..... yes that is correct the day after Christmas. So hopefully I will be a little better at keeping the blog up.
