ive joined the madness!

I am officially on facebook now. DEFINITELY not a good thing for me. I don't need anymore distractions in my life. Oh well! It has really been nice to have a way to catch up with old friends. I have gotten to "talk" with so many people that I went to school with so that's neat! Anyway, life has been busy of course. BUT, lots of fun. We have had an excellent weekend. Matt has a cold and hasn't felt great so we've just hung out at the house all weekend. We even had a fire going all day Saturday! I absolutely love a WOOD fire...something about the smell and the crackling noise makes me feel all warm and cozy inside.
Yesterday, I ran across this blog (www.kellyskornerblog.com) through Katherine Asher. Kelly has just had a baby girl and she was full term. Harper (the baby) is not doing well. They had to transport her to Tulsa to a children's hospital. At this point they are not sure exactly what is wrong but they believe she has some heart issues. Kelly (the mom) is a strong believer in Jesus! and she has asked for everyone to pray for their precious baby. From what the doctors and nurses were saying in the beginning, it is already a miracle that she's still alive. Her story really got to me and Matt. We were worried about Trigger when he was in the NICU but it was NOTHING that was life threatening. I just know that it's an emotional roller coaster to not have your baby home with you and to leave him/her in some else's care. Please pray for this family. The mom's name is Kelly, dad is Scott, and baby is Harper! I know that God can heal Harper. Even though we dont know her, please join us in praying for her!
Trigger hast learned a new trick. I posted pictures for you to see!

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!
