Weddings!

Thursday, wow has this week flown by.  Tomorrow we will be heading to Kansas beginning around 6am to make it there in time for Adam and Kate's 1pm rehearsal for their wedding on Saturday. Matthew is a groomsmen in their wedding but Noah and I just get to sit back and enjoy!  Then Saturday after the wedding we will be driving back, getting some sleep, church on Sunday then moving all our stuff to our new house!  Such an exciting weekend!  You can most likely count on the fact that I will be one very worn out pregnant woman next week! 

Last weekend, we had my sisters wedding, and everything went great and I think everyone had a good time. Randi was a beautiful bride and everything was cute and ran smoothly! It was a lot different for me than any other wedding, can I just say, that when kids are involved it makes them so much more stressful.  Saturday was a happy but stressful and rough day with Noah.  I felt like I couldn't really enjoy the day with my sister because Matthew and I were always taking turns with Noah leading up to the wedding.  He was one tired little boy since he missed naps all day.  He looked so cute in his tux but  I never had the chance or a happy boy to take a picture of.  I hate that I missed snapping a cute picture!  When it got time to walk down the aisle we had one cranky, and fit throwing boy since we had to take him off the stairs.  I had a mini panic attack of not knowing what to do with him.  Randi just said do whatever you have to, so instead of him riding down in the wagon, Matthew, Noah and I walked down the aisle together.  Once the doors opened and he saw all the people he got calm and let us walk him right up there without making a peep.  He even stood up there with us for a short time before we passed him off to Matthew's parents who helped out with him so much the rest of the day.  Afterwards we gave up on pictures with him, and let him go home to try and get a quick nap.  He never went to sleep so he went to the reception still sleepy but after awhile Papa Bob got him to sleep.  After that he stayed for awhile but was still just too sleepy so we had my sister Taylor come get him and bring him home until we left a little while later.  When we got home he was finally peacefully sleeping and we were beat as well and went straight to bed.  I could of slept so much later on Sunday than Noah had allowed us too! 

Baby Name

Well I think we have a name picked out, notice I said think!  We have been tossing around names for the last month and Carson is the one that has stuck so far.  I think we are set on it, but with us you never know. Since we used Matthew as Noah's middle name I kind of wanted a special middle name for this boy too so I was  thinking of using Robert, since it's my dad and grandpa's first name as well as Matthew's dad and grandpa's first name as well.  What a family name, right?  Well problem is I don't really like Carson Robert, it's okay just not my favorite combo.  Matthew likes Carson Riley, but I think he also likes the idea of using Robert too.  So middle name we are really unsure of, which seems to be  pattern.  We changed Noah's middle name many times and even last minute in the hospital so we  might just wait again and see what happens.  Carson doesn't have the coolest meaning or anything it means "christian"  which is good but not the ideal name meaning.  However, it is better than any other name I liked, I think that is why Matthew likes it since it is a name that actually means something besides "son of Hudd"  like Hudson does.  (that was the name I really liked, minus the meaning) So for now I'm saying we are going to name baby #2 Carson ??? Jones.

Crazy May

Well if you haven't heard, we have sold our house!  Wahoo!!  We really were trying not to talk about it too much until everything was more finalized and after we worked through the inspection and other fun processes that goes with buying/selling houses!  We pretty much are almost done and will be closing on the house we are selling and buying on Tuesday May 24th.  Not to far from now.  Since we have to give our buyers keys at closing we will be moving our stuff into our new house on Sunday and Monday so it will be ready for new owners.  Hard to believe that is less than 2 weeks away and boy do we have some work to do!  I started packing on Monday but only got 5 boxes done during Noah's nap.  That is nothing compared to what is left!  These next two weeks will fly by considering there we have 2 weddings in between as well.

My younger sister Randi is getting married this weekend!  So hard to believe it is almost here!  We are very excited for them, except for the I have to give a speech at the reception part!   I am terrible at stuff like that and get way too nervous!  The next couple days we will be busy with stuff for the wedding between decorating the church and hall and the rehearsal.  She has been planning for so long and everything is going to look so cute!  I can't wait to see it all put together!  She is going to make a beautiful bride and we are blessed to get the chance to share in their special day.  Noah is also a part and will be wearing a tux.  Hoping he cooperates because he is going to look so cute!!

Then next weekend, just one day before we move, Matthew's youngest brother is getting married to his sweet bride in Kansas City.  We will be heading that way for that wedding on Friday and coming home late on Saturday night.  You can just say those bags will be staying packed since we are moving the next day!  I am so excited for them as well and glad they will finally get the chance to live in the same town!  I remember those days!  

It seems so surreal that we are finally getting to move.  We found the house we wanted last November, and made an offer that was accepted and they have been waiting for us ever since to sell our house.  The timing was about perfect for them, but hit us during our busiest month.  It's okay though we will gladly take the sold house and finally get to move in, since we have waited so long!   I am very very very excited about our new house but will also probably get a little sad when we leave our current house.  We have done so much to it, and have made it our own.  There are so many memories here!  It was OUR first house, we brought Noah home from the hospital to this house , had some great times with friends and family and so many more.  I also know that our new house is waiting for us to create so many more memories though as well!
