WELCOME to our blog! Our family began in August of 2000 when Jody and I were married and has grown into a family of 6! We have 3 beautiful daughters and 1 handsome son! This blog was created in January of 2006 for our family and friends and to serve as a scrapbook for our kiddos in the years to come!

Before and Afters

I promised a few weeks ago before and after shots of my hair...I have recently found our camera so here are the pictures! Beware I do not have any makeup on in the before pictures...

I do not know exactly how much she cut off, but you can see from the pictures it was quite a bit!!!

Old Friends, New Friends

The girls and I were able to get together with some old friends & new friends today at Baileywick park! Heather is a former co-worker of mine from the YMCA, they (husband and 3 kids) just moved back to Raleigh from Ohio! Last time I saw her she had 2 kids and we had just 1, both families have grown to include 3 each and our 4ths are due within 5 days of each other! Emma was about 2 when they moved, but it didn't take long for her and Kalia to remember being best buds! I forgot to take pictures until we were getting ready to leave, I got a shot of everyone except Kai, Heather's 2nd who is 4 :-( The picture to the left is the 2 year olds: Peyton (2), Anna (almost 3) & Lizzy (2). Kalia (6) and Emma (5 1/2) are to the right on the swings. The girls have already asked me when we can get together with the Spruill kids again...hopefully soon, maybe we'll get the husbands involved too!!!

Pregnancy Update

So I went to the doctor today for a routine check-up, today was my 1 hour glucose test which is my favorite :-( I tried the new lemon lime glucose drink and it wasn't that bad! Anyway I actually gained weight this time...6.6 lbs in 6 weeks!!! The doctor was very happy with my weight gain (total 7lbs) and wants me to keep it up! I am continuing to have a lot of "pelvic floor" pain and pressure due to the number of babies I've had...I am to continue to rest on my left side when possible throughout the day and wear the maternity belt every day all day long! The only sure cure for the pain is delivery and since I'm about 26 weeks it's not an option! Only a little while longer and it will all be worth it! The baby is doing well, I'm measuing a tad ahead at 27 cm for being almost 26 weeks! So far so good, I go back the end of this month! I'll get Jody to take some more pictures of my belly, I've had quite a few people tell me the past few days I've "popped"...

10 years later...

1998 Friends

2008 Friends

Anna colored all over the top picture with a pen...sorry for the bad quality, but I thought everyone would get a kick out of the old us and new improved us! We unfortunately weren't able to get together with our old buddy Becky who is also pictured!

What am I talking about you ask?! This past weekend was my 10 year highschool reunion, BTW...I graduated from Garner Senior High School (Garner, NC)! There is some discrepency of how many we actually graduated with but I believe it was somewhere around 350! We decided not to go to the actual gathering on Saturday for a number of reasons, but we got together with a few old friends, ate dinner then went to the football game Friday night! We had a good time catching up with my good friends from highschool Melissa Autry (Chadwell), Amanda Willis (Satterfield) and our husbands! We also were able to see a few people from highschool that we recognized. Funny how you spend years with the same people and 10 years later can't remember their names! Here are a few pictures Melissa took at the game...
