Do you ever sit down to blog and have no idea what you should really blog about? Well that's how I feel this morning..so...therefore there is no title to this blog! Let's just see where this post takes us... hmmmm what is on my mind???
I had a wonderful date last night with my hubby. It consisted of good pizza, a movie, and me in my pj's. I must say that is probably one of my favorite kind of dates. It makes me realize how thankful I am to be married to my favorite person and that I don't have to try to impress him because he loves me exactly the way I am and thinks I'm pretty even if I'm 26 weeks pregnant and all I want to wear is fat pants. Thanks for the wonderful date dear....love you.
hmmm...what else is on my mind this morning...
I am missing my baby this morning. Although from the sound of it when I called my mom he is NOT miss his mommy. He did not even want to talk to me this morning. He is too busy being spoiled rotten by his Nana, Poppy, and Great grandparents. I'm sure we will have to have grandparent detox when he gets home. That's okay he loves going and even though I miss him like crazy it is nice to have some time to myself to get things done.
hmmm....well...I guess the last thing I'll blog about is the upcoming Holidays. As we all know I am very excited about them. I could actually careless about the food and present part. I really love the family time. And since you might not know all of our awesome family I'll introduce you to a few more of them...
Meet Jacob's Siblings
Dani and David


I am so thankful for these two. I feel like I truly have 2 more siblings myself. I love that I can talk to Dani about anything and be as blunt as I want to be about it! I miss her like crazy now that she is so far away and so busy with pharmacy school. I am also thankful for David. He is always so willing to help us out. I am glad he lives close. He was a life saver the day the man fell through our ceiling. He is always so kind and easy going. Austin loves them both and gets really excited when he sees them or even just sees a picture of them.
Sorry this post is kind of long...One more Aunt and Uncle of Ace's you need to meet for today and I'll be done...
Meet my Sister and her hubby.
Shanda and JG and cousin Jesse

I love having a sister and I love that we have boys that aren't far apart in age. Just wait sis...one day your going to have to let Jesse spend the night! He's going to beg to come to Aunt Amy's and play with his cousin!
Well....I've rambled enough for this morning....hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Insurance!!! grrr

So let me just say that insurance is one of the most frustrating things! Especially when it changes during the middle of being pregnant! Needless to say with all of the mess we have been dealing with one really awesome thing happened since our insurance changed....let me tell you about it...
So back in July and August Ace started having trouble with his right thumb locking down (aka trigger finger). I took him to his doctor and she referred us to a hand specialist. Well, he said that Ace definitely needed surgery to fix the problem. But since it was the middle of August that we would need to wait till our insurance changed over on September 1st. Well insurance kept dragging their feet on getting all the nessecary paper work to us and the doctor. Well in the mean time Austin's left thumb starting having some problems but his right one seem to be almost completely better. So after some rude phone calls and a little bit of fit throwing on my part we got another appointment scheduled for the same doctor to look at his thumbs again. And yesterday we found out that he does NOT need surgery!!! His right thumb seems to be working fine and his left thumb is "triggering" but not locking! So the doctor said to keep an eye on them and if it got worse to come back but if not he may outgrow the problem! I don't care if insurance dragged its feet or not I think lots of prayer was answered in this situation!!! So to give credit where credit is way over due...THANK YOU LORD FOR ANSWERING OUR PRAYERS!!!

Hello California and Georgia!

So I've been thinking about my silly blog! I often do not blog because I feel like sometimes the things on my mind nobody else would care to read or the people I am thinking about that most people who read this blog might not know soooo..... I've decided to gradually start introducing you to the people in our life! So watch out if your family you will probably at some point be the main point of a post on here! The thing is I love our family. Jacob, Ace, and I are so lucky to have such wonderful family that I wish my friends were able to know some of them too! So I'm starting with our family that lives far away. Why you ask?....Because they have been on my mind! I guess it is because the holidays are quickly approaching and I get really excited about seeing them since we really only get to see them around this time of year! So let me introduce you to.....
Our California Family:
Regina, Chris, Caleb, and Aidan


I always enjoying getting to visit and hang out with Regina and Chris. Plus, I love to see our kiddo's play together. Aidan is only a month older than Austin so the two of them can be double trouble. And it is neat to watch Caleb treat Austin like a second little brother!

Next I would like you to meet Lori and Matt! They are also in California!

I feel like I get to see these two the least! I love getting to hang out with them too but if they would quit moving all over the country they would make getting to see them a bit easier! I think Kathy would agree with me that Alabama, Chicago, Alabama, California just don't cut it guys....one day consider returning to OK. We miss you!!!

And last but certainly not least and probably the one that makes us laugh the most is Uncle Bubba from Georgia also know as Kerry!

It has been almost a year now since we have seen him! We miss him lots and talk about him often at our house! But the good news is only a few short weeks and we get to see him!!! YAY!!!

So this is some of our family. They are pretty awesome people and we look forward to seeing them over the next couple of months! Maybe someday you will have the opportunity to meet them!!!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Last weekend....

Last weekend my mom and dad came and stayed with us before they went on their trip to Branson. My sister, brother-in-law, and favorite nephew also came to visit. We enjoyed spending time with everyone and the boys enjoyed playing together. It's so neat to see them interacting more and more. Here are some pictures and video's of the boys last weekend....



On a different note we still have not decided on a name for this little girl that is growing so fast. I can't believe that next month starts the third trimester. It really does go by so much faster when you already have one little one in the house to take care of. Austin is so busy and fun and keeps me on my toes! I am anxious to see how he handles having a little sister.

"He fall down mommy, he fall."

These are the words that keep coming from Austin's mouth as he points to our living room ceiling. Yes! you read that right...we had a man fall through our ceiling. Let me first tell you that the man is fine and he did not actually fall all the way down. He was able to catch himself. We were switching from Cox to AT&T and the AT&T man was running new lines in our attic when he slipped and fell. AT&T is paying for the damage but in the mean time we have a nice hole in our ceiling! Never a dull moment at the Eck house! I'll leave you with some pictures....



If you are not sure how large that hole is it is approximately 4ft long by 3ft wide. And NO it is not a good location for a skylight!

Vacation!!!!

So for the first time ever Jacob and I went on a vacation all by our big selves!!! And I must say it was wonderful. We spent 5 days on this....

Enjoying things like this....

Having fun doing things like this....

Relaxing like this....


Needless to say we had a wonderful time. I am so thankful that we have wonderful parents who were willing to keep Ace so that we could enjoy a vacation. Now if I can convince Jacob that we really didn't go by ourselves and that we still had one baby with us the whole time......maybe I can talk him into another vacation in a year or two! :)
So glad I married this man....

A little of this and a little of that....

I have several things that I need to blog about! So I'll start with today. We had a wonderful first day back at Sonshine School! I have a wonderful group of kiddos. This was probably the most smooth first day of school, sonshine or public school, that I have every had! Austin has two wonderful teachers this year. They are both very good with kids. So yay for a successful first day! After Sonshine School we went for another ultrasound. We have had one that showed a girl and they were checking again today but today little girl did NOT want to move around at all. We still got some good pictures of her and enjoyed seeing her. After we go home this evening Austin and I made cookies together and he ate two! It has been a wonderful day but.....I'm pooped!

On a different note....This is just plain funny and I should have blogged about it the other night when it happened but I didn't get the chance. Jacob and Austin were playing in the living room. And when I say playing, I mean like boys playing and wrestling. Well Jacob tooted really loud which is not unusual around here but normally I give him a dirty look and Austin just ignores him. Not this time. Austin says "uh oh, I pooped". Jacob then says "no Austin that was Daddy". Which Austin replies "daddy pooped"? Then Jacob has to explain that nobody pooped that he just tooted and that everybody still has clean pants. I'm still laughing.

I should write about how hormonal/irritated I've been and tell a few things on myself since I've posted all about Jacob's problem. But I'm in a good mood and I don't think I want to go there tonight!
