It's Been Awhile!

I can't even begin to explain how busy things have been since Christmas. I am taking 18 hours at ECU ( which I love), baseball is in full swing, not to mention my little man is about to turn one!! Yup- In about 3 weeks he will be 1! These pics are ones I took for his birthday invitation. I have missed you all! hope things are going great!

Busy Busy Busy

So I had the best day on Tuesday! I found out that my Music final will be open book and I just have to turn it in by next Tuesday byt 6 P.M. Next I got my Argument Paper back in my English class where my Professor doesn't believe in anything and is super tough! And guess what I got an A! I was so excited I almost cried-Seriously! Next class is my speech class and I gave my last speech and I have gotten nothing less than full credit on all of them, including the last one! Then I go to my math class where I thought I wasn't doing all the great ( I can read for days, and write you any paper but I do not do math, adding x and y just doesn't make any sense to me) Anyways my professor tells me that all I have to do it get an 75 on my final and I will have an 88 for my final grade! Are you kidding me a B! Then she tells us that we have a choice on what we want the our final to be on, either probability or loan and mortage formulas! Hello people I have a mortage so I know all about this! So what I am saying is that Tuesday was about the best day I could have had! All I have to do is get my final essay done and study for my math test and as of next Thursday at 12 I will be done with my first semester back! It is such a good feeling knowing that I am almost done and one step closer to having a degree and being able to provide more for my family!

Now I just have to study......

Do the massive amount of laundry that has accumulated......

And Spend Time with My Amazing Boys!

The last is my most favorite!

Miss Grace

Miss Grace Isabelle Riley is finally here! 7 lbs. 13 oz. 21.5 in.
She made her appearence on Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 9:13 P.M.
Everyone in the Donaldson household is over the moon!

Welcome to To Our Lives Sweet Girl!

She has a head full of dark black curly hair and is absolutley beautiful!

Suprise-Suprise

Something must have caught his attention!

I can't hardly believe that he is already 7 months old and he is sooo big! He is 20.4 lbs and 29 inches long. He is all over the place crawling and pulling up on everything. But sadly I have to say that we had our first Boo-boo today. He was standing by the window and fell and hit his lip on the window sill. He freaked out, and so did I because it was bleeding!!! I kinda panicked but I remembered that its a good idea to use a cold wet washrag so I ran to the bathroom and got it and he started to calm down which I was very thankful for. It is a little swollen and you can see where it split but he doesn't seem like it is bothering him at all, I think its bothering me more than him, but I guess thats how it goes being a Mama. I just hope that I don't have to have very many of these experiences, I do not like it. But I think having a boy, I am going to have many more brusies, swollen lips, and proabaly stiches throughout the rest of his life, I just hope next time Daddy is here to handle it. He's alot tougher than me! Have a great day!

Happy Fall

I took this last week and thought it was a very Fallish type of picture, so Happy Fall Everyone!

Boo!

Its almost Halloween! This will be Lil Man's first one and I am so excited. I love Halloween, its one of my favorite holidays! We are having a costume party this year, so I will be sure to post pics! Anyways Graham is going to be a tiger, and I have to say he's going to be pretty stinkin' cute! We are taking him on a walk downtown, all the businesses give out candy to the kids so I thought it'd be a good idea, that way I don't have to take me out Saturday night! I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween!

My Two Handsome Boys!

Guess what....

...Graham started crawling! I am so excited! On Sunday he was laying on the floor and went after some toy and he actaully crawled! He has been getting really close lately, rocking back and forth on his hands and knees and scooting, so I knew it wouldn't be to far away. But now that it actually happened it is so exciting! He was 6 months 11 days old when he first did it! Is this early for crawling or about right? I don't have any expereince with all this so I am just curious about other people. When did yours start?! And how long after did they walk? I'm not ready for that yet! I have to much baby proofing to do! Let me know and I will try and get a video up of him getting after it! Happy Tuesday!

I'm here!

So its been awhile... But things are going great. We are so busy with football beign a 7-day a week job ( I do not like this) and me being full time at school and Lil Man is growing soooo fast. He is 6 months old now. We went for his 6 mo. checkup on Monday and he is19 lbs and 7 oz and 28 1/2 inches long, Dr. Rose said he is in the 97 percentile for lenght, adn let me tell you that made Daddy so happy! (Remeber he is wanting a 6'5 NFL sized son!) But over all he is doing great. A couple of weeks ago we had to go to the ER because he was running a 102.7 temp and for Mama that was not cutting it. ER doc said it was a virus but two days later he was still running a fever so I took him to Dr. Rose ( our pedi, whom I love) and she said it was double ear infections! Ya I know the ER doc didn't see it, but oh well the antibiotics worked like a charm and 4 or 5 days later he was as good as new. Lately things have been so incredibly busy. We were in a wedding . Check out his white tux with tails! He was the ring bearer!

I had a baby shower for Cassie last weekend and one this Sunday. She and Jake are getting ready for Miss Grace Isabelle, I cannot wait either! All of us that have kids have boys! There is Drake, Tanner, Trevor and Graham. We keep saying that Grace won't have a chance she will be a tomboy from the start, but from what I know Cassie was a bit of a tomboy herself! I am so excited for her to have this baby, and she is due the day before Rustin's birthday, what is neat about that is that Cassie and Rustin are 7 months apart and Graham and Grace will be 7 months apart. I think its cool! LOL

Next weekend is Fall Break, but I don't think we are even going to go anywhere. We will proabably stay at the house and catch up on sleep, we need it I promise you that! I feel like we always have something to do, but I guess I can say that it is never boring around our house.

Life really is going great, I really never knew that a person could be this blessed.

Graham loves taking a bath!!!
