VBS

We had a pretty busy couple of weeks…we had my birthday, trip to tyler zoo, Campbell’s birthday, swimming lessons, Campbell’s party, VBS week, and a trip to the beach all within 2.5 weeks. My house is a disaster zone still…and I have NOT recovered at all. I am so exhausted from the go-go-go and thankful for a week with a little less planned.

For VBS, I was in charge of the prek crafts again. We had 3s, 4s, and two classes of 5s. I love crafts but for some reason…I have no idea why (HA)…I just couldn’t get it together this year. The other adults in crafts will probably NEVER help with crafts again. I will really try harder to be more prepared next year. It was just REALLY hard to get it all together with all that we have had going on here lately. Not an excuse but just the truth. AND, I had to end up leaving almost every day at some point to go down the hall to feed Larkin so that wasn’t good. Next year will be better.

Trigger had such a good time…he was so excited to go to church every day. He said his favorite part was coming to crafts with me! ;) LOVE HIM!

Here are a few pictures of our week!

We took each child’s picture with their aviator goggles on (in case you were wondering what the next picture was all about)

Breakfast one morning before VBS…Campbell was rolling laughing at something Trigger was doing. I LOVE when they play together and laugh together!My sweet boys! It was a good week…I won’t lie and say it was easy getting up and being somewhere, dressed and with makeup on and with kids dressed, every day. IT WAS HARD! Isn’t that sad?!? BUT, it’s the truth. Getting three dressed and fed (one that is nursing) PLUS getting myself ready…whew. IT was just a taste of what it will be like this school year!

I’m so thankful for our church and for VBS and all the other wonderful things they provide for our children to learn and grow in their walk with Christ!

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!
