Team Woodard: BUGS

BUGS

Last Monday, I was walking from our den into our kitchen when I happened to look down and see this bug. I bent down and confirmed that yes it was a bug…not just any ordinary bug. This thing was weird…it was kindof like a cross between a centipede and a scorpion…YUCK…YUCK…YUCK. I really wasn’t sure if it was alive but was kind of thinking that it was not because I was moving all around it and it didn’t move. I walked to the kitchen and grabbed a tupperware to trap it with because I thought if it was dead, I would trap it and show our bug man. Well, as soon as I got the tupperware on top of it, it went CRAZY…running circles around the perimeter of the container. Soooo…what did I do? I called my sweet hubby. And because he’s so wonderful, he came home at lunch and rescued me from the 2 inch long bug…probably wasn’t really 2 inches but I’ve never been very good at eyeballing measurements. Matt had never seen such a bug before either. I did have Matt take pictures. You can’t really tell much from the pictures but here’s one for you.

YUCK!

Anyway, my strong, brave husband got rid of that nasty bug for me! Then, Matt spent a few minutes with Trigger. While they were playing, I realized that they looked so cute together because their clothes matched.

I’m so in love with my sweet husband. And the way he teaches and guides our children makes me love him more and more every day. I’m so thankful for his leadership in our family!

And aren’t these two boys looking cute together!

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!
