Welcome Carter Jackson Mullanix!!!

Welcome Carter Jackson Mullanix!!!

I was induced two weeks early in order to keep him

around 8lbs. and it worked. On Friday August 15th

at 3:35pm Carter was born at 7lbs. 14oz. and 21in.

Becca was actually in the room for the delivery and

even cut her baby brother's cord. I'm so happy that

they will always have that special bond.

We are all pretty thrilled around here with our new

little cutie. I hope you all enjoy the first few of many

pictures of this little guy.

Moxxie Projects!

Here are two projects that I created for Moxxie this month

that may possibly be used for their online classes. I had so

much fun making these for my girls. I made the altered

composition book for my oldest daughter Becca because

she has started middle school this year and needs lots of

notebooks for her classes. The art box was made for Emmy

who can't go a day without making a craft of some kind so

she will get lots of use out of this box. Check out the Moxxie

blog by going to www.gotmoxxie.blogspot.com to see the

new upcoming Moxxie online classes.

Becca's 12th Birthday Pool Party!

Ok everyone, I'm finally getting these pictures

posted from the end of July when we had Becca's

party. We held the birthday party early this year

because of the little one on the way here in a few

days. Becca has always wanted a pool party for

her birthday anyhow and this was the perfect

excuse. I think all the kids had a great time

swimming and going down that big old slide!

Perfect timing too because Becca's cousin,

Austin, just happened to be in town visiting

from California. They had a ball!!!

Baby News!!!

Ok all, the doctor has chosen a date to induce me!
Unless he decides to come even earlier, Carter will
be making his appearance next Friday, Aug. 15th!!
This is 12 days earlier than my due date, but the
doctor says that my body is ready and the baby is
ready so all should be fine. Hopefully this will keep
him from hitting that 9lbs. before I actually have
him. I will be posting pictures as soon as I have
them to post!

TaTa for now!!!

My Surprise Baby Shower!!!

How sweet of my oldest daughter, Becca, and my niece, Olivia, to arrange

with the help of my sister-in-laws to throw me a surprise baby shower.

I thought that I was just going to be hanging out at my sister-in-law house

for a cook out while the kids got to swim, but oh no...I walked in the door

and everyone yelled surprise. I wasn't quite sure what they were all saying

surprise about until Becca showed me the cake and gifts and said hello, it's

a baby shower! I was shocked and thrilled and just happy to see my family.

A few minutes later I found out that it was actually Becca who had come

up with the entire idea...with all my hormones I was about in tears. Thank

you so much to everyone who had a part in helping to arrange this party,

and also to everyone for coming and for the great gifts...it was wonderful!!!
