Stawberries and Water in a BIG boy cup

Trigger amazes me with how he can pick up on things so quickly...maybe he will take after his daddy. Trigger loves drinking out of a straw instead of a sippy cup. So when we went outside on Tuesday afternoon, I took some strawberries and a cup with a straw. I thought he could practice holding the cup outside. When we are inside, I always hold the cup for him and he takes sips. Well, he loved the control (of course...haha) and did a great job of holding the cup while drinking until he discovered the ice...and he ate a little of it too. We also enjoyed some HUGE strawberries that were VERY sweet. I so enjoyed just the simple life of sitting in the sunshine, eating strawberries, drinking water out of BIG cup AND tee-teeing outside in the grass (Trigger did that...not me!)
Oh and i ONLY took 125 pictures but don't worry I won't post them all!

I thought this was so sweet. Trigger would walk off with a strawberry and then run back saying, "bite, bite, bite" to see if I wanted a bite! Maybe he will always take good care of his momma!

Here is Trigger drinking from his cup.

NOTE: I realize that our house needs to be washed...I did see that in the pictures...but my poor hubby does NOT have the time to things like that and I'm pretty sure that washing the side of the house while on a ladder would be on the list of things that i do NOT need to be doing! Thankfully, things like that don't really bother me...it will get washed when we have time! I'm a little overwhelmed and stressed right now...which is hilarious considering the amount of pressure Matt must feeling right now. However, since he is so busy and SOOOOO, SOOOO tired, I TRY not to ask any more of him than I have to. Our office that I was trying to turn into a playroom, is a WRECK...like I can't even walk in there right now! The baby's room is NOT EVEN STARTED!!! LIKE...we don't have a crib...we have ordered a crib and paid for it BUT the guy keeps giving me the run around about going to pick it up...and blah, blah, blah. So, I may have to end up cancelling our order with him and ordering through someone else. We've got to have a crib for the poor baby! The dresser that I bought from rolling hills for 30 dollars (my BEST purchase EVER) was going to be refinished by me (ha!) and matt (ha! ha!). However, I am not able anymore and Matt just doesn't have the time or energy. I've got to get it to someone to have it refinished so that the baby can have somewhere to store his clothes. I was just so prepared with Trigger...I had EVERYTHING..and i mean EVERYTHING finished at 26 weeks...bottles ready, furniture delivered, everything arranged perfectly, things hung on the wall, my suitcase packed, etc. As of right now, the baby's room has "TRIGGER" letters and pcitures of Trigger hanging all over the walls. This is how bad it is, Matt even asked me yesterday evening if we had some clothes for the baby after he is born. hmmm...yes, I believe we do. That is one thing I have done. I had Liz get the first tub of Trigger's clothes down from the attic. I washed the preemie and newborn sleepers and they are folded and in a basket...just need a dresser to put them in.
I guess it will all come together...I'm just a little worried about it and feeling sorry for this second baby.
Please just pray for Matt that he can keep going and that his little amount of sleep will feel multiplied!

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!
