Happy Anniversary Baby!

Mr. & Mrs. Meyer...

Soooo.....It's our 4 year anniversary!!! AAAHHHH!
Harley and I have had a very interesting...romantic...volatile...fun 4 years. I put the pic of Mr. and Mrs. Smith because I think that their relationship best describes our relationship. Harley and I are both very passionate, bold people...we just show these traits in different ways. Harley's very intense and you can feel the energy buzzing off of him. I'm vocal but more passive/aggressive. Somehow together we make it work....
.
.
I love that Harley's energetic nature gives me more energy...
I love that He knows me soooO well...
I love that he knows how to balance me out...
I love that He supports my hair-brained projects and laughs at me...
I love that one minute we could be fighting and the next we are talking and making up...
I love that he wanted me to have His children...
I love to watch Him fixing things...it's sexy when your man shows you his smarts...
I love that He makes me and everyone around Him smile and laugh...
I love that He chose me...
I love you, BABY!
Happy Anniversary~

Such a proud papa!

Annie West from Sweet yesterdays photography did this photo shoot for us with mister Cash. It was an awesome session and I can't thank her enough for being such an awesome friend and neighbor. We had a lot of fun!

Cash pooped and peed all over me!
I didn't mind...he's too stinkin' sweet!!!

We couldn't get Avery to really sit still long enough to get more pictures of her and Cash together. She was WAY to busy playing with Annies little boy, Jackson...He kept Avery entertained!;}

I love that Annie got this picture of this little stud with his eyes WIDE open! He sleeps so dang much I need proof that he does open them occasionally!

SooooO content!

Cash was 7 days old in this photo shoot. He was really a champ about it. Look at that face! It doesn't get much sweeter than that!
;}

Cash is HeRe!

Cash arrived Thurs. May 14, 2009 @ 10:49 a.m.!
He is the most precious little thing! He LOVES to cuddle and lets out the cutest little cries when he needs something. I went in for my induction Wed. night, May 13, 2009 @ 8 p.m. hoping it would go by quickly. I labored all night with the help of Pitocin and ended up having a C-section. We are just so greatful that little Cash is finally here and was delivered safely! We love all our family and friends and thank each one of you for your love and support!!!

Pictures are coming soon!!!

The BIG Day!

I would be lying if I didn't say just how nervous I actually am for today. I've been up since about 3 a.m. because for one I can't sleep and second my allergies are out of control! I can't breath through my nose:( I laid back down on the couch around 5 a.m. and got a little more sleep but, certainly NOT enough!
~
Then I hear Harley and Avery getting up and Harley sets Avery down on the couch with me. A few minutes later I start to get up turn around and look at a wet couch and think my water's broke...unfortunately no, it was just a leaky diaper:) Jokes on me. I had already gone upstairs and told Harley my water might have broke...at least I said "might have";} Oh, and my pants were a little wet...
~
I've already had 2 meltdowns and it's only 11:40 a.m. Boy am I in trouble. I'm so excited and scared all at the same time. Harley's been a trooper and let me bawl, yell, and freak out...what a guy! He tells me He doesn't want the day to go too perfect because inevitably something will go wrong...He's usually right. I hope if something does go wrong it's minor compared to what's to come. He's mowing the lawn right now and had to fix the mower once already. Then he ran over a dog toy and the toy exploded and batting went everywhere! It made me laugh...I needed it;}
.

Well, off to finish last minute details before tonight!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was a great day for Harley and I!
We spent the morning at Grandma and Grandpa Meyers and took Judy to breakfast~then when we got back to the house Kylee wanted to drive Grandpas tractor so...of course Avery wanted a ride too. This made me and Grandma nervous but they did great!

Avery loves Grandma Judy! I think the feeling is mutual!

After becoming a mother myself I have come to REALLY appreciate all the love and sacrifice that my mother had with me and my siblings! Harley and I talk about how poor we were growing up and the things our mothers did for us for entertainment, food, etc...

I love my mother and appreciate all the values and lessons she taught me. I love Judy for helping raise such and awesome guy like Harley! I now know just how much energy it takes to start raising your own family and although it's extremely challenging at times...it is sooooO worth it!
Mothers are great!!!

1 week left!

So, I had my 38 weekly visit to the Dr. yesterday and decided to do an induction at 39 weeks! I'm still a little skeptical about inducing labor but, the more Harley and I talked about it it seems like the best for our situation. Harley is on call Mon. and Tues. for work and 9 times out of 10 he gets a call on Tues. to take a train out of town. It would be our luck that I would go into labor while he's out of town somewhere.
.
.
Onto other news, I'm 3cm dilated and 60% effaced! WOW! We're still wondering if I'll be able to hold off for another week!
.
.
Avery's latest phrases include:
"How you do that?"
"You in time out!"
"OH!"
"Stop whining!"
"Go lay down!"
"Go away!"
.
She has a lot to say lately.

Parents watch out!!

Meet Scruff. Our dear friend Corby got Avery some DVDs for her second birthday. I was especially excited for this one because it was about a puppy and Avery loves dogs. I figured this would be very entertaining for her...
turns out it's more than entertaining!
.
.
Yesterday I was down with a bit of a head cold. I put Scruff in the DVD player hoping that Avery and I both could have a nap. Luckily, Avery kept me awake long enough to hear Scruff say the "F" word!!! No, I am not kidding!lol Funny, yet so scary at the same time.
I had sent Harley to the grocery store so I call him up and say "You are NOT going to believe what I just heard on Averys Scruff DVD"! He didn't believe me and told me I'm pregnant and don't know what I'm hearing...Whatever!
When he got home I marched him straight to the movie and made him listen to it. You should have seen the look on his face! There was a little bit of horror and complete amusement.lol
So....
If any of you parents get a new DVD that you have never seen before I strongly recommend watching it with your child or before your child actually views it!! Harley and I plan on going to the web page of the manufacturers of this particular DVD and leaving a few comments;}
