Jack 8 weeks old

Where has the last 8 weeks gone? Right now it seems like my life is a blur....Jack is such a joy....he's sleeping better and he's definitely a 'go with the flow" type of baby. He's smiling and laughing at us now.....he thinks we are all pretty funny! He's getting bigger and losing more hair each day. Sweet baby Jack!!

Parkers 1 year Photos

Here's our sweet Parker....let me tell you, she's all about having her picture taken. These were taken last week...yes, she's almost 14 months old and these are officially her 1 year pics....better late than never, right? Thanks Uncle Don for all your hard work with the pics!

War Eagle Anyway!

Here's the kids out at the Botanical Garden. My Uncle Don has a new fancy camera and met me out there to get some pics of the kids...This is the best group picture....but we did a bunch of Parker for her "One Year" pictures....I'll upload those next! Aren't they cute? Jack is looking more and more like Trey everyday. I had a small glimmer of hope that Jack may look like me, but that is fading with each week. Ha!

Private Reading Time

Parker enjoys to sit in her rocking chair in her bedroom and read (or shall I say look at) her books. She was a little perturbed that I interrupted her quiet time for a quick photo.

Jack's New Girl....

Well, Jack is one lucky boy...he has a laundry list of girls his age to choose from (Ha!)....This is his newest friend....Camryn Tate! Camryn was born 4 weeks after Jack....here they are getting to know each other. We sure can't wait for Anna Claire Carpri to be born!

War Eagle!

Here we are all geared up to watch an Auburn game! As you can tell, Parker was not extemely happy to be having her picture taken....War Eagle!

Happy 4th Birthday Trey

Well, I cannot believe that my Trey is already 4 years old! I'm sure I'll say that every birthday he has, but seriously.....4 years sure do go by fast! As you can see Trey wanted a Spongebob birthday party! We had everything Spongebob and I mean everything! But Trey loved it....even the pinata....which was kind of a dud! He had fun playing at the park with friends and family!

Jack---4 Weeks Old

Here's some random pics of Jack at 4 weeks old! He went back to the Dr. last week and has gained 17 ounces! and has grown 1.5 inches! Wow, do they really grow that fast in 2 weeks? He's staying awake more during the day....yet still not sleeping great at night...He's such a joy to be around and other than the sleeping thing, is such a good baby! He's only 4 weeks old, but it seems like he's been in our lives forever! Now, I can't imagine life without Jack.....it's funny to think that he was our "surprise" baby, I guess God knows what he's doing ! Our little family now feels "complete"!

Fuqua and Nicholson Crew

As you can tell, Julie & Troy and TJ & I are doing our part in "populating" the world...Ha! Julie and her kids were in town for the weekend and we managed to get a quick picture of all the kids. Between the two of us we have a child a year since 2003......from left to right...Kole (2006), Parker (2007). Jack (2008), Trey (2004), Kolby (2003), and Maci (2005)..... Let's just say its somebody else's turn to "contribute" in 2009!

Happy Birthday to Parker!

It's hard to believe that Parker turned 1!!! Her birthday was on August 29th....and we celebrated (twice actually) with a party that weekend at the lake! As you can tell by pictures she had a beachy theme...when she walked in and saw all the decorations she clapped her hands and said "OOOOOHHH"! Which made any work put towards the party absolutely worth it! She only cried once when she took a big bite out of her cake and everyone said "Awww"...which she thought everyone was telling her "noooo"...and she immediately started crying (that picture is in the 2nd collage)....I'm telling you, you blink and they are already having their first birthday...it goes by so fast!

This last collage is the Pre-Party! Her birthday was actually on Friday and the party wasn't til Sunday. We celebrated with a mini-party on her actual birthday. I got some cupcakes and she enjoyed making a mess out of them!

Trey, Parker and Jack

This is the first official picture that I have been able to get all three actually looking at the camera! I feel like I've accomplished something today, Ha!

My Three Chickens

Trey and Parker loving on Baby Jack!

First Day Home from Hospital...

I like to title this first picture...."Brothers Bonding"..It was the cutest thing, Trey wanted to be the first to show Jack his new bed. He climbed in there with him, held his hand, patted his head....it was sooo sweet!

Well, our first day home was a little crazy at first. Of course, as soon as we rolled into the driveway, we see Trey and Parker standing at the window waving, and I immediately start tearing up and then the waterworks started! I was just so glad to be home and to see the kids....I am not used to being away from them that long! Both kids seems wowed by baby Jack...Parker tries her best to peek over the bassinet at him and Trey likes to hold him and show him all of his new stuff!

At the Hospital....

Here's some collages of pictures from the hospital! We are all sooo happy that baby Jack is here! Let the chaos begin!!!

Sweet Boy!

Jack Harrison Fuqua

Wow, we are now a family of 5! Jack Harrison was born on Friday, August 15th at St. Vincents! He weighed in at 9 lb 1 oz and was 21 inches long....more pics to come!

Boo Swimmers Ear...Yeah Krispy Kreme!

I took Trey to the Dr. this morning because he was complaining of an earache. Found out he has swimmers ear....OUCH! He was soo good at the Dr.'s office that he got treated to Krispy Kreme....and of course he insists on wearing the hat for the rest of the day! I'm really trying hard to keep everyone HEALTHY before I go to the hospital on Friday.....wish me LUCK! Just 2 more days!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Today we celebrated my 31st birthday. Mom and Dad came by and took me and the kids and Jake to lunch and then back to the house for birthday pie. Trey can't have meringue so Mom made him a special chocolate pie...and of course he had to help me blow out the candles......The last 2 birthdays I've been VERY pregnant...(2 weeks from today Jack will be here)....hopefully on my 32nd birthday I will not be "with child"! Ha,Ha!

Parker had enough of the birthday celebration and was ready for a nap!

My Little Mess Maker

Parker's new thing is pulling everything out of all cabinets, drawers, whatever she can reach. She pulled ALL of my tupperware out of the kitchen cabinet....and notice the dirty look she gave me when I asked her what she was doing....and in the bottom picture she had pulled nearly EVERYTHING out of the changing table....notice again, the dirty look she gave me, like I was wrong for telling her to stop! Lord have mercy on us during the "teenage years".

Dazed and Confused

Duhhhh.....I'm not really sure why both kids have this dumbfounded look on their faces....but it makes me laugh. They both look guilty of something.....I'm sure I'll find out what later!
