Team Woodard: July 2011

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

I'm not opposed to the great outdoors

I don't necessarily love being outside when it's 100 degrees but it's inevitable with two boys. Trigger is very very active and NEEDS outside time. I'm making an effort to take him outside first thing after breakfast in the morning so that he can expel some energy...in hopes that he will be a little more calm and I hopefully don't harm him. ;) I'm only kidding, of course!!!
The problem with this new scheduled outside time is that I desperately need Campbell's morning nap time to clean up after breakfast...and today, start the first of about 10 (yep, 10!) loads of laundry!!!! Not to mention that I've already had a shower for the day and now I'm sitting out here melting!!!! I told Trigger that he had 30 minutes. Well, the problem is that if you come out for even 2 minutes, you might as well stay all day...after 7 minutes, this is what trigger looked like.

And this...bc of course we can't keep any shoes on..I just hope he knows where he left them!!!

And then he smiled for me and said "tank tuu, momma...tank tuu taking my picture". Sweet boy!!!

Soooo...we have approximately 1 minute left until the timer goes off and it'll be time to go inside. We will head into the cool, get a bath :(, and change clothes AGAIN!!! But, that's after I drag him in kicking and screaming. Whew..wish me luck. Alarm just went off!

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!
