Our newest family member

Jake Kenneth Hood was born on April 18, 2012. This is Seth and Vanna’s second child (second boy). It was a planned csection so I put Matt in charge of our boys. I woke Larkin up really early and we headed to Monroe. I took some pictures but didn’t get any great shots…mainly because I was having to take care of Larkin. Here are the family members waiting for Jake to arrive.Seth came out with Jake and we all got to see him. He looked so much like Reid when we first saw him but I think he’s not going to look as much like Reid as I had thought. Reid had no idea what was going…just like Campbell when Larkin was born Larkin did pretty good considering that I ripped her out of bed earlier than she wanted.Jake’s baby feet!!And I love this picture…Reid was bursting with energy so both of his grandfathers (Pops- Vannas dad; Poppy-my dad) walked up and down the hall with him.I had to leave in time to pick up Trigger at school at 12 so Larkin and I ran through chickfila. While I was waiting, Larkin got fussy and then she stopped…I looked back and saw this…LOVE the thumb!!

I have so much more to write about on this post but I cant! Its 3:15 AM…Ive got a horrible ear ache and I’m trying not to go to the ER so im trying to distract myself…NOT WORKING!!!!

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!
