Baby Shower Surprise

Tonight, Toyia and I threw a surprise baby shower for our sweet friend April. She is due in late August with a baby boy, their 2nd boy. April had no clue about the shower, she thought she was coming to a Pampered Chef party at my house. She was so surprised when she walked threw the door and we all yelled surprise, she just sort of stood there like "what??" It was funny...she was funny. Then came the water works...and yes I cried too... If anyone knows April she will give the shirt off her back to a complete stranger and rarely meets a stranger. She could talk to a wall for hours if she couldn't find someone else to talk to her. Tad and April fight like brother and sister and aggravate the mess out of each other, but Tad and I are lucky to have such sweet friends like April and Shane in our life. Anyway, I will share some pictures from tonight!

We had a wonderful time tonight and I'm blessed to have all the people that came as my friends. I love all of you and thank you so much for coming tonight for April! She enjoyed it so much and so did Toyia and I. Goodnight ya'll.. tomorrow is our mid-week pick me up! :)

Yeah I know, I'm bad at this!

Trust me! I know I'm horrible at blogging! My husband and friend Toyia let me know quite often that I'm bad at blogging and that I need to do it. It's like a chore for me sometimes. I hate sitting down at the computer, I'd rather just use the ipad and I've typed a school paper on the ipad before, it was TERRIBLE! So anyway, I never got around to blogging about our big news... for anyone that doesn't know which I think everyone knows by now...We are expecting! Praise the Lord! After 16 long months of praying, crying, screaming, being angry and crying and praying. We found out we were expecting in late January! Can you believe I kept it a secret from Tad for almost 2 weeks??? It was definitely very difficult.  I told him the day he got home from work and had a series of gifts for him...and I love him but he really never figured it out until the end when I had a sign that said "We are Pregnant!" He was so surprised, I think we both cried. Brayden did know the whole time and did a fabulous job at keeping it a secret I might add. On May 6th we found out we were having a baby girl! I cried and cried laying on the table during the ultrasound. We wanted a baby girl so badly...I've longed for a baby girl for 2 1/2 years now...and I was finally going to have one! Her name will be Mollie Mae Tisdale, she is named after my great grandmother Dolly Mae and Tads grandmother Ollie Mae! I wanted Mollie because of me- MeKayla and my momma-Melissa...we will all have M names :)  She is already a spoiled little girl not only by her family but buy some wonderful friends! I can't thank our friends and family enough for praying for us to have a baby girl. Since we found out the baby is a girl, Tad has been on me about selling Brayden's old clothes, for one its taking up lots of space in the attic and he say's we are done. Well I think like most mother's, I'm just not quite ready to part with his baby things! I did give in somewhat and started selling some of his things. BUT I am NOT selling his smocked outfits yet and yes that's a 2 tote thing :) I can't see Brayden being my last baby boy at the moment wearing those sweet little boy outfits. I am 27 weeks 2days and will be in the 3rd trimester soon...like where has the time gone?? It is so crazy how fast its going by. Mollie Mae is a busy little thing, she moves all the time, makes me run to the bathroom more than I ever have in my entire life, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world. Brayden is ecstatic about his little sister, he gets very upset when we go to the doctor every month and we don't come home with her. He told Tad and I the other week that he was tired of getting pictures of her that he wanted her out! :)) Our family beach trip is in 2 weeks and I am so ready!! Although, I think I might be a little miserable on the beach everyday...Maybe I can find a extension cord long enough from the beach house to the beach for me a fan?? *haha* Fat chance huh??? I'm already hot sitting in the house in the air conditioner so I can only imagine sitting on the beach while Brayden plays in the sand and water. Anyway, we are going to enjoy a day with our Nina, Landon, and Baylie Kate today! We have missed them lots... I'm not even sure when we saw them last! :/ We are fixing that today and will be heading to Enterprise soon to visit them! I'm REALLY going to try my HARDEST not to go this long without blogging again :)

Catch Up: Picture Style #1

Well I have finally download Firefox for my computer so that I can upload photos. So, this post will mostly be pictures for you to catch up on how our family is looking :)

 

 

Santa was very good to Brayden this year! He loved all his surprises from Santa!

Of course I couldn't forget about our elf Bernie! He is such a mess!! Brayden LOVED him!!!

 This picture was right before Tad left to go back to work before Christmas!

 Tiffany and I threw a Christmas party with our friends! We had a blast!! We did tacky sweater and played dirty Santa. We had so much fun and plan to make it an annual thing ;) I made my sweater, haha, I thought it turned out cute instead of tacky! :)

Brayden and I on Christmas Eve before heading to my Nanny's house! We sure missed out Tadpole!!

I turned 24 on January 5th..WOW! Tad and I went out to eat at Myori's for my birthday and then enjoyed some shopping in Dothan at Sams and Target :)

Brayden went on his very first hunting trip with his Papa T and Daddy! He LOVED it..as you can see in the last picture of him in the shooting house playing his ipad! :) They didn't see any deer but did see a few turkeys. Brayden is now excited about turkey season when his daddy gets home!!!

We pick up Sam's kids on Tuesday's Wednesday's and Thursday's from school and B loves to play with them! Big cousin Eli was being such a good sport!! Payback Eli for all those times I had to do this!!! *haha*

Last time Tadpole was at work, Brayden and I were just bored out of our minds. So one Monday we had had enough! *L* We loaded up and headed to Dothan for a Mommy/Brayden day!! There was a few things I had to pick up for Tadpole. We went to Sam's and of course spent to much then we went to Target to pick up the things for Tad. We finished our day with a late lunch at O'Charley's. It was wonderful, Brayden loved it!!! On our way back home we swung by and picked up our last load of deer meat for the season. Then enjoyed a nice night on the couch watching tv!! Love my time with this little guy!! He's my favorite!! :)))


There will be another Catch up Session soon! Hope you enjoyed this one!! Make sure to catch the next one for some exciting photos ;)
