Living Room

I thought I would participate in Kelly's Show us where you live Friday: Living Room/Den. Last week, I posted pictures of our kitchen. You have to realize that these posts are GREAT motivation for me to clean up our house! :) However, today, Mrs. Arva came to clean so our house was spic-n-span when I got home from school. She is AMAZING! I always feel sorry for her because our house is such a wreck when she arrives. Anyway, here are some pictures of my den. I do have to say that I have a REAL problem hanging things on the walls...as you will see. I keep telling Matt that I am just not sure. We have lived in this house for almost three years so I am not having thinking it's going to happen any time soon.
This picture is taking from the foyer.

This is my chair (left) and Matt's recliner (right). I did NOT want a recliner in my house...just don't like them but Matt had to have one. Compromise?!?!! I love the arch in the fireplace.

And, our TV and couch. I would really like a new couch but it's not priority right now! Plus, I figure we should wait until after we are past baby mode!

These are our built-ins in our den. I love them!

I did have serving pieces and extra dinnerware stored in the cabinets but my parents gave me a china cabinet for Christmas so I got to move all of it. Now, I store tubs (some are missing) of Trigger's toys and games.

One of my favorite things on the built-ins is my photo albums. These are the "Trigger collection"....ummmmm...he's only 9 months old and he has how many albums of pictures? And, one is missing

I LOVE our fan/light in this room. The light shines up on the ceiling to provide indirect lighting. It gives the room a warm and cozy feeling.

One more thing...I said to Matt (before children) that we would not have toys kept in our den. Hahahahaha...I bet alot of you are laughing right now!!!! Well, Trigger got this great canvas tote from Pottery Barn and we store his toys in that. If we've got to have them in the den, it least they are stored in a cute container!

And, had to include one of Trigger!

Hope you enjoyed our tour.

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!
