Baby Books and Our Baby Pictures

I am adding some pictures from when Matt and I were babies. They are not the best quality because they are OLD and because I had to take a picture of them since they are taped into our scrapbook. I hope you enjoy!!!! The first set is of me (Garson).

Matt is in the pictures below.

I love this picture of Matthew. Look at the face. How could you NOT love him?!?!

This is a picture of me with my missing teeth. AND, look at that attitude with my hands on my hips.

I'm not sure what this is a picture of...I mean I know it's Matt. I just like his little smile in this picture.

My mom took this picture of me. It was taken in my parents bathroom in front of their bathtub. It seems as though I have a million pictures in front of that bathtub.

LOOK OUT!!!!! Matthew is ready to shoot! A little scary, isn't it. Haha!!!

AND...the last picture is of me in my Cedar Creek cheerleading uniform. We wore our cheerleading outfits EVERY Friday to school and to the football games that night. We, as you can tell, did not have the fancy cheerleading outfits from the children's shop. Instead, we had to have our uniforms made. Holly Haddox (my best friend) and I had matching cheerleading uniforms. We sure were stylish!! And, check out my yellow socks and GREEN shoe laces. Wow...I was bleeding green and gold!!!

Weren't we cute kids?!?!? Yesterday we went to the Woodards house (Matt's parents) to celebrate 4th of July (a few days late). Matt asked his mom if he had a baby book. I had seen pictures of Matt when he was little, but I had never seen a newborn picture. We got the baby book out and Matt and I had the best time looking at it. Do you know who was President in 1981? Well...it was recorded in Matt's baby book along with many other interesting facts. One thing that stuck out in my mind was that Matt slept through the night at one week. Matt's mom said that both he and Jennifer were always very good sleepers. When we got home last night, I went on a search for my baby book. My mom wrote that I slept through the night (8:00pm-7:30am) at five weeks. Okay...so I was thinking...maybe...just maybe our child will inherit the good sleeping genes. I know...go ahead and chuckle out loud. That probably means that we will have a child that NEVER sleeps. Anyway, we had a good weekend. I hope that you did too!

The Woodards

My name is Garson Woodard. I'm a wife to Matt. He is the most incredible husband a girl could ask for. We met in Kindergarten at Cedar Creek (the school we attended for 13 years). Matt and I started dating our Jr. year in high school and dated for 6 years. We got married on June 26, 2004. I am so thankful that God brought us together! I am a mother to Trigger, Campbell, and Larkin. We worked hard to have all of them. After 2 miscarriages, two years after trying to get pregnant, a 2 week hospital stay, and a short (didn't seem short at the time) NICU stay, we brought home our first precious miracle: Trigger! He was born on July 29, 2008. Trigger's completely spoiled rotten! He is full of personality and definitely shows some of the same tenacity that his namesake had!

With our second child, Campbell, we made it to 38 weeks. He was born on June 3, 2010. He still had to stay in the NICU for 5 days for breathing issues. Campbell is absolutely precious..shy but such a little clown. I can't wait to watch our two boys which are 22 months apart) grow up together. I know they are going to fight constantly but be BEST of friends at the same time!

I just thought my boys were our miracles...and they are...but, at the end of May 2011, Matt and I found out that we were expecting the biggest surprise of our life. We were having baby #3 after being told we could never get pregnant on our own. AND, to add to the excitement, we were having a GIRL. After dealing with my medical issues, a two vessel cord, and IUGR, Larkin was born on January 6, 2012. She came here ruling the roost and I am sure that is not going to change anytime soon.

After what seemed like forever thinking that I would not have any children, God has blessed me with three beautiful babies all within 3.5 years.

After having Campbell, Matt and I decided I would become a stay-at-home mom. In alot of ways it is more difficult than teaching because I am with OUR children all day...and OUR children don't seem to listen like my students would. HOW DOES THAT WORK? Haha! Seriously though, it is the BEST job in the world and I feel very blessed to be able to be home to witness each and every minute of our boys' lives!

I started this blog when we found out we were pregnant with Trigger and have continued to document our crazy lives with a toddler and a baby since I don't have time to scrapbook anymore. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you visit again!
