Easter Weekend

The weekend turned out better than I had expected. Campbell was feeling good and Larkin was doing much better…Matt worked all day Friday which was a complete bummer because everyone was out having fun and hunting eggs. I don’t really remember what we did but I tried to make the best of it. Friday also happened to be the day that Larkin turned THREE MONTHS! Wow…time is already flying! I’ll post more on that later. I did get a few pictures of our big three month old. I had to put her in an easter smocked outfit even though we didn’t go anywhere.

On Saturday, Matt worked so I loaded the kids up and took them to get donuts. We had to wait forever…apparently everyone thought they needed to celebrate the Saturday before Easter with some donuts. We drove to Matt’s office to say hi to him but couldn’t stay long because Larkin isn’t a huge fan of being in the car. We came home, got dressed for the day, and played. When I was back in Larkin’s room feeding her, I heard some noisy little feet coming down the hall. When Campbell rounded the corner, I just had to laugh! He LOVES to go back into our closet and put on my (and matt’s) shoes. This is the first time I had seem him in heels. I immediately sent matt a picture of Campbell and said “you really need to spend more time at home.” haha!My parents and Deanna brought lunch over for us. Matt actually came home at lunch because he went to work really early that morning (like 3am). It was fun to have my family here for a little while. We went outside because the weather was BEAUTIFUL! I love this picture because you KNOW our family loves some baseball. It’s so sweet to see my dad playing with my children because my papaw always played baseball with us!!!! That was our absolute favorite thing to do at papaws. In fact, the last picture I have of Papaw and Trigger before my papaw passed away, Trigger is wearing this jon jon that Campbell has on. I won’t be able to sell or give away this outfit! Matt got a new mower because we now have so much more grass to mow. Campbell loves to ride! Poor baby was tired…it was passed time for naps!And this little girl had an okay Saturday too…she was pretty fussy and I had to hold her and pace the floors with her most of the day….do you see who is holding her? Yep, her daddy…guess that’s why she’s smiling!

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!
