December 24th- part one

Christmas Eve is by far our most hectic day of celebrating. We start off early…like 9:00 early. I got up and cooked a cheese danish and breakfast casserole to take to my parents. We got there around 9 and ate breakfast. THEN, we opened presents. My parents go all out for Christmas. It is so generous of them to buy us so much but completely unnecessary. I know they enjoy watching the kids opened all of their presents.

Okay…check out all of those present…ALL of those at their feet were their presents…YEP, a TON of presents. AND do you know what my oldest child said after we finished passing them out, "I don’t have any presents”…said with the most pitiful tone and his head tilted, all pitiful. SERIOUSLY, I kid you NOT. Those were his words…I had nothing to respond with…I’m pretty sure my jaw dropped and I laughed a little. Campbell is OBSESSED with boots!Campbell LOVES his poppy and he does NOT like to share him!!!”Uncle Bana” and ReidUncle Will and Trigger

After we finished opening presents, we loaded everything up in my tahoe and matt’s truck…yep, it took EVERY nook and cranny to get it all to fit…and headed home for naps.

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!
