It's a boy- and his name shall be called Connor.

 There's a baby in my belly and I am barefoot! :) Only way to be!

 Connor Steven- Due June 13th. But will be here around the 6th to the 8th of June! Can't wait to meet him!

Baby's first outfit that is gender specific :) Thanks so much to my greatest friend, Heather who found 3 brand new baby outfits in her house!



My OB appointment today was a good one! I am staying in El Paso for the remainder of my pregnancy! I was going to stay with my in laws if I failed some of my testing... The boys and I are here to stay! So excited to start shopping for baby- I have so many things to get, it's like this is my 1st born all over again! We weren't wanting any more babies, but here we are, 20 weeks- healthy- happy and looking forward to June!! I am cloth diapering this time around. I am very excited about it too!!! My neighbors are giving me their portable wooden crib for me to keep beside my bed! What a blessing! My mom ordered the baby's crib set today too! I am so blessed. And if God chooses to let this little guy come into the world, I will be ever so grateful. I am so thankful for my family!

The Hubbykins!

Yeah, this is Jon. My hubby :)

Talking to me in the hallway.. One of the places we have reception..

Jon and a doo rag. He said he is trying to get his hair to lay a certain way. I really struggled with not laughing the entire time we talked :)

Yeah, it's one of those days. He makes me laugh, he has caused me to cry, he is the love of my life, and without him, I doubt I could get by. I love this guy. He is a wonderful husband to me and a great daddy to his boys. He even talks to the baby :) He is definitely a keeper! I look forward to our baby coming and us getting to meet baby! I look forward to hugging him and telling him to his face how much I love him. 

Baby number 3 :)

Well, I am 2 days from19 weeks, smaller in the belly than I was with my previous pregnancies, and so excited to find out the gender! NEXT WEEK!!!! NEXT WEEK I find out! I got the baby's room cleaned up (it was the toy room) and sold some toys :) yay! Bought this crib, wipe warmer, and changing table from a fellow Army wife :) We have this, the baby carrier, the car seat, my pump, boppy, wipe warmer and an outfit.. So much more to get! We are going to put Blake in a twin size bed so that baby can have the mattress. It's one of the things all 3 kiddos will get a lot of use out of! I am so glad to be in my 2nd trimester and feeling so much better! Morning sickness is gone! Now I am having some weird leg pain and constipation. This baby is already showing off some.. Baby enjoys kicking and moving around in the afternoon the most, kicks when I cuddle Blake :), and likes to kick when baby hears Daddy's voice on Skype! Looking forward to June oh so much! I can't wait to meet baby and have Daddy see baby too! 

Finally found the perfect way to tell Daddy the gender, and how to post it online for everyone else! On a serious note, the doctors wonder if I will have pre clampsia issues like I did with Jonny. And with the danger of another seizure, I had to do extra tests. My appointment is on the 24th and I look forward to finding out what the doctor says!! Praying that mommy and baby stay healthy the whole time!! And as soon as I find out the gender, I will begin decorating the room!!! So fun!

Me and the business :)

I have lived at Fort Bliss since April. Two months later, at the end of June, I decided that I wanted to become a Creative Memories consultant. I was very nervous and scared. I didn't know too many people, and I was worried that I would not find too many people that liked to scrap book or they were taken by another consultant. Well, Sunday night, I received a call from a lady that wanted to get connected with me. She found me on the Creative Memories website. I am the only one here!! I have obtained a few customers in the short time we have been here, and I am doing my best to make my name known. Facebook, Twitter, and Home Bussiness shows are my friends. And now my blog :) The link is to my Facebook page. Like it!! I am trying to increase the traffic through my page... I also want to support my Croptoberfest!! OCTOBER 8th!! I am so excited and praying for a good turn out!!!! Thanks to all that keep up with my blog.. And I also host online parties :) Just saying :)

Long time no see...

Okay so BUSY is a word that is officially FOREVER in my vocab... BUT I am trying to get caught up on everything in this world... Working on making my Creative Memories business successful... SO I added my site here and to Twitter :) Oh and Facebook.. I am SO not computer savvy but I am determine to learn for the sake of avoiding public ridicule and shame... Glad to be back... planning on staying on here too :) Look for more to come... As for now, I have a playdate to get ready for and a diaper to change.... Motherhood is never boring :)

(the card is just an example of one of the many beautiful cards they have!)

This is my site... The link above. I saw some Christmas Cards from Shutterfly in the mail. I checked them out online and was amazed. I love the selection, the vivid colors and the ability to put more than just one perfect picture :) I would show you my card I have chosen and have already edited... But, I want it to be a surprise. I just bought over a hundred 4x6's through them and made my first photo book!!! It's for the boys for Christmas! I am so excited!! I love using Shutterfly and how simple it is to find your way around the site. I want to order plenty of cards for all my friends and family.. To all my fellow bloggers, check my Facebook.. I have a link to share for Shutterfly!! My only regret with Shutterfly's Christmas cards is that I didn't discover them last year! I can't wait to show off the final product, all the personalizing I was able to do to them and all the great card ideas they had for me to choose from.. Now that I have found my perfect card, what about you!!!

Jonny's Daddy

Daddy, We love and miss you so much. I am trying to call you on my Buzz Lightyear phone but you won't answer. I guess you are busy at work. Mommy showed me pictures of you on the computer. Your clothes matched everyone's! I keep asking Mommy if you are coming home now. She says we get to come see you! I can't wait. I miss playing with you. Blake is okay to play with but you are lots of fun. Mommy won't let me ride on her back, she says it hurts. Can I ride on yours when you get home. I need you to fix some things too when you get back. Mommy needs to give me more milk. Blakey needs to stop playing with my toys. And I should be able to eat candy all the time. Just fix those things and life will be good. Oh, and make Blakey stop drooling. Thank you, Daddy. Oh, and Mommy lets me eat a kiss a day. Until we see you. But I got to them and ate 5 days worth. In 2 days I will get another "Kiss from Daddy." If these kisses are from you as Mommy says, can you tell her to let me eat them all?? I love you, Daddy. Oh, Blakey and Mommy do too. Have fun!

Love, Jonny

My new life

I have not been able to pick up my military ID, so I do not consider myself an Army wife yet :) But Jonathan is gone, and has been for going on 3 weeks now. I am doing well with this :) The kids are helping, my constant desire to shake some sense into Jonny and spank Blake until he doesn't touch another breakable item- well it keeps me busy :) Jonathan has sent 4 letters so far, it's better than when we were dating. He also gave a card to Steph to give to me, so I can count that too. I wrote him and told him to stay there forever if it means I can keep getting letters and cards. I need to frame them :) As proof that miracles do happen. He is doing all kinds of neat things, jumping off of high places, enduring obstacle courses, smelling in the scents of the gas chamber. Oh and sleeping outdoors. I have faced some basic training myself- 3 stage bedtime obstacle- 1. get Jonny to bed 2. get him to stay there 3. kick him out of my bed. Then there's the diaper chamber- It's the smell from a child you can smell across the room and you begin to gag as you close in on the little guy. There's also the BATHROOM. Where one child poops in the tub, the other somehow FLIPS out of the tub, and I, Mommy, am attempting to gain some sense of order. I can't imagine being a single mom. Kudos to you women who do it everyday- for years on end. My heart goes out to you. So in the midst of organizing life, unpacking, and waiting for the blessed phone call.. I say to myself- Thank you God.. For my Bathroom moments- great stories and healthy active children. For my diaper moments- hey, they're regular :) For my bed time moments- I have a child who loves his mommy so much. And for my husband's basic training moments- I thank God for a man who is willing to do all he can to support his family and honor his country as well. I love my "new" life and all the hidden blessings it brings!

I LOVE UGLY BETTY!!

Okay, so I LOVE hulu.com.. It is the shiznit. I got on today and noticed my queue had 23 videos in it. I am all like, WOW, it hasn't been that long since I have been on here. Come to find out SEASON ONE OF UGLY BETTY is in MY queue!!! I took a picture of my sheer excitement and surprise and decided to let the world know.. Ugly Betty is it and I can't wait to see all the episodes :) I love America Ferrera :) I want to look like her when I grow up lol..

"Baby Bake"

That's not a typo in the title, to Jonny, that is Baby Bake, or Bakey. Our baby of the family came to meet all of us November 4, 2009. He is almost 1 and I am still wondering where the time went. Blakey loves to smile and makes others follow into the grin look. He loves to crawl and cruise around furniture. He will take a few steps and will stand all alone. He loves to hear his Blakey Song and enjoys being held. He can be a risk taker (he climbs the stairs alone) and loves to eat- EVERYTHING. He is Mama's baby, Blakey poo, and the Blakeanator :)

"Hi, I Jonny"

Jonathan Keith Robbins Jr. born December 19, 2007. Our first born and the one who taught us all about babies and being new parents. Our baby is almost 3 now. He is so full of life and enjoys playtime. He loves to tease his daddy and love on his mommy. He uses his manners and prays. He loves to think everything is "his" and "mine." He gives kisses and yet can be rough. He loves to keep his hands clean while eating and yet play in dirt. He can ask so many questions and yet have nothing to say. I love my big boy, my baby, bubba- My Jonny.

Robbins Reunion and all

My husband's wonderful camera skills..

Our gorilla Jonny and monkey Blake

My father in law :)

Jonny and Dadu making delicious biscuits :)

We traveled to Ohio on Friday to spend some time with my in laws. They got a new camper and we just had to see it :) Actually, we were very excited to see them. Especially Jonny. He whined for Bunchen the last few minutes. Her name is Nana, but she tells the grandkids- I love you BIG BUNCHES. So Jonny named her Bunchen. lol Paul became "Dadu Paul" over the weekend and it is a hit and miss of when he addresses him that way :) Today was our Robbins family reunion. We were there for most of it and enjoyed ourselves. We left there and went to see Grandpa and Grandma Covert.. My batteries on the camera died or I would have taken pictures of our special people in Mt. Orab :) The reunion has a theme every year, and this year it was safari. The boys dressed up and got gift cards for their participation :) Yay, diapers :) Jonny got a lot of candy ( a mini Halloween if you ask me) and Jon and I stunk so bad at corn hole it was embarrassing. Even for family to see. :( Made it to the final 3 in a water balloon toss and Jonny enjoyed wayy too many m&m's :) Soooo much fun :)

Bowling in Louisville :)

us :)

Me and lil Daniel :)

I totally beat Jon and Jonny :) Oh yeah... DOMINATION!!

Jonny... LOVING IT!!

We met up with Jonathan's cousin, Daniel, and went to the mall and bowling... Here's some pictures :) We had so much fun and Jonny was hilarious :) He loved bowling and wanted to go when it wasn't even his turn. And if Blake was put down, he wanted to crawl towards the pins... We had a blast.. And I have come to the conclusion that all cheese fries are only the bomb diggity at the bowling alleys :))

FOREVER LATER....

Jonathan Keith - 2 years

Blake Alexander- 9 months

Granny C and Jonny

Well, I think it has been way too long since I have even blogged... Sad to say.. I have been looking at others blogs and decided I should get back into it. So here I am... I haven't posted since I was pregnant with Blake and now he is almost 10 months old... WOW... Our life is semi-normal right now. We live in Elizabethtown, KY now and we love it down here. Love our friends and our church and so on and so on.. Our boys are growing well :) Jonny will be 3 in December and Blake will be 1 in November. Jonathan leaves in October for basic and it has just hit me 2 days ago... We have had some wonderful visitors this past month.. I just realized that it is Sept. 1st!!! Jon and Nella and Katelynn Thompson came down one weekend, we met lil Daniel in Louisville the next, my bio mom came down the next, and my mom and dad came last weekend :) Needless to say it has been a busy month.. Now it is September... Time to make invites for Blake's party, take family pictures, go to our family reunion, enjoy church services, do MOPS, walk in the Walk for Life, and play dates :) Time flies so fast... God help me to cherish every moment and let the petty stuff pass :) God bless and happy September!!

Baby Blake

Blake Alexander at 20 weeks
Blake Alexander at 33 weeks

I went to the doctor today and we decided to go for a scheduled c-section. Due to my baby's ever growing size and the fact that I want little complications as possible with this baby, we decided this was the best way to go. I have another ultrasound next week due to me measuring 4 weeks ahead. It's so weird to think that if this was Jonny, I would be having him next week! This time last pregnancy I had elephantitis in my ankles. Or shall I say cankles (cow ankles). I feel better and my blood pressure is down. Now if only my lower back would stop hurting and I could sleep more. But no pregnancy is comfortable so I am doing good. The baby is healthy and so am I. So far I have gained 6 pounds. And four of them was today's visit (grr). Praising Jesus that all is well and praying Blake comes safely into the world!

These Boots

"These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do. One of these days these boots are going to walk all over you."

I want to scrap some pictures of Jonny in his daddy's shoes, and he was so willing gto jummp into these (with daddy's help) and take pictures. Now that he says "cheese" (he makes his scrap bookin' mama so proud) he makes picture taking so much easier.. He did a great job and thought the boots were fun, until he tried to walk!!

My Adventurer

I absolutely love this pic! I came out to see what the boys were doing, and Seth had grabbed his pirate gear and dressed them both up like pirates!! I laughed so hard as I went to grab my camera!! This is so cute!
We are still trying to help him dress.. His daddy put his pants on his head... Poor baby.

This is not him climbing into the dryer but climbing out before he is caught. He was a little too late though. I got a picture as fast as I could.

My new job

I am officially a bonifide Creative memories consultant! If you are in the Indianapolis area or the surrounding area and need a consultant, I am available! I am so excited about all of this, having parties, being a consultant at parties hosted, and doing all other fun stuff! I love (adore) scrap booking and this is a great way to do something I love. If anyone wants to host a party, become a consultant, or buy cool stuff, come see my website: www.mycmsite.com/carolinerobbins Planning another party soon!
