So. If you are reading this, you pry know me. I wonder, though, how much of me you know. All my life I have really struggled with which parts of me to share with whom. For many of my formative years I believed very much that I lived the double-life many people spoke of. Maybe not the double life of a serial killer who lives in a suburban neighborhood whose acquaintances would have never expected

I have NO idea what is going on with me. I'm acting like a Sarah from ten years ago, but I keep looking around and I am definitely the Sarah from twenty-eleven. Ten years ago I would have a day with nothing but housework planned and I would feel free. There was no one else in the house to distract me so I would distract myself. I would play classic country music loudly and reminisce about

If I were to blog again I wonder what I would blog about. I have friends who have great topical blogs that I am really impressed with, but I am not much of a stick-to-it-type girl. I have good ideas and little follow through. Do people really read the ramblings of tired moms? Cuz really.... that's about all I got folks! ;o)

I have created an online baby poll for family and friends to guess when our baby will come. Look to the left of my blog for the link to the poll. Let's see who can get the closest. Just to update you... I have been having contractions for weeks, and am already dialated to 2 and 50% effaced. I am scheduled to be induced at 39 weeks which will be Feb 18th. And... we still don't know what we are

Many people have been expecting belly pictures from this pregnancy again since I was so good at getting pictures when I was pregnant with Trey. Well... here is your photo! My friend Melissa took this during our shoot a few weeks ago. You can find information on her photography business here.

We are 98 days from my due date for baby #3!!! I can't believe that we are getting close enough for L.C. to be thinking about getting the infant seat out of the attic and mentioning other "getting ready" stuff. I feel like we are still so far away and at times it seems like this is a never-ending, no-progress pregnancy. At other times I am shocked and amazed that I could be this close to having

What kind of kid decides to start sucking his thumb at 10 months old? That is insane!!! ;o)Yup. So we definately confirmed today that Trey likes sucking his thumb. We have been noticeing it over the past several days. At the beginning it seemed like perhaps it was just something to do or that he was teething and chewing on it. But, nope! He is definately sucking.Now... to be fair, the boy does

My good friend Melissa Little came for a visit last weekend. We became friends when we both lived in Michigan. Her husband was the Youth Pastor at Croswell Wesleyan. She just moved to Wichita, KS and has officially started up her own business, Moments Photography. She offered us a great deal on a multi-location shoot while she was here. I don't have the CD with all the pics on it yet, but she

I got my first kiss tonight! WOO HOO!!!!When I was putting Trey to bed just a few minutes ago I encouraged him to give kisses to L.C. and Pheoby. He didn't. But when I took him into his crib and was telling him "Nigh-night" he leaned in and kissed me. WOW! I am the happiest Mom in the world! ;o)

I truely do have a desire to blog every now and again, but I just don't get around to it now-a-days. Blogging seems to be one of the things that I put to the side when things get too busy. Until I get more energy, this will have to keep my dedicated blog readers entertained! ;o)4 things I love about my husband:1.

Thanks, Jill... Ya know, (said sarcasticly) I haven't had enough reason to focus on my silly quirks so this will really help me out! ;o) Thanks for tagging me. I will be sure to offer the same opportunity to some of my quirky friends. I am sure they will enjoy the self-exploration! Thanks, too, for giving me a reason to come back to this blog and write.

Last Friday I had the opportunity to hang out with some of my scrapbooking friends from Foothills. They had a great time making progress in their books and I simply enjoyed the company. It has been a long time since I have had the energy to scrapbook or go out with my far-away friends. I have been trying to get into digital scrapbooking for years and haven't fully jumped in yet.

So, it's been almost a month since I posted. A lot has happened since I posted last. First and foremost we discovered that Hayes Baby #3 is on its' way!!! We were shocked to say the least, but it is really sinking in now and we are thrilled to meet this next baby! Pheoby is most excited, it seems. Whenever I talk about having 2 children she corrects me and counts herself, Trey and then points to

Can I Wear Jeans is a great place you can go to list your church for free! Jon Acuff (from the ever-popular blog Stuff Christian's Like) is putting it together so that when you are looking for a church you can get a good description of the places you are considering visiting. Not quite the same as looking at search engines or in the yellow pages. And the great thing is that this is world-wide!

The kids and I had a pretty relaxing day today. Of course, they were both up before me. (Mental note... be sure to prep that bag of Teddy Grahams you promised Pheoby as a morning snack so you can get a few more minutes of shut-eye before Trey wakes up!)We ran a couple errands first thing, then had a pretty lazy morning. We filled up the kiddie pool and played in that for a while before nap time.

I had blogged previously about Pheoby's ear problems and that she needed surgery. (If you don't remember reading that you can find out more about the problem and the procedure here and here.) Her surgery was yesterday. She did GREAT! And we are so thankful to the staff at St. Francis Eastside and Dr. Cooter of Greenville ENT. Everyone was fabulous and helped Pheoby to have a good experience. She

I want the world to know (or at least my 3 to 5 readers) that my husband is a fabulous protector! Of course, I always knew it, but today he had an opportunity to demonstrate just how great of a protector he is. I had a run-in with an office manager in a place of business our family frequents that sent me into a tail-spin. I felt a horrible amount of stress over the situation to the point of

I had to bring my Broccoli Soup into work today for a shower. I am becoming famous at work for in (not to toot my own horn or anything) and have been asked multiple times for the recipe. I had to type it up to share with my co-workers so I decided to share it here, too. I like to add cheese and bacon. It really is delicious! I challenge you to try it out and post what you think about it here!

It seems like forever since I have taken the time to sit down and blog. And unfortunately, my return to this comfortable venue is not on a good note. We lost our Sally-Dog last week with no warning of illness or injury. I was shocked to find her dead when I got home from work last Tuesday. I took the loss much harder than I thought I would.

In honor of Mildred Loving we will begin celebrating Loving Day on June 12th. (I hope I remember the day right!) Here we are with our World of Coca-Cola 4-D glasses on.

Babies are all around us and it makes me so happy!!! I took the kids to our little friend's birthday party today. There were 5 moms and 4 babies! It was wonderful (although, probably not so much for Jill because she didn't have too much extra help with all of us toting the little ones around). Then on our way home we got the text we had been waiting for! Baby Alex had arrived! My older brother,

Well... we went to the ENT. The doctor basically left it up to us on whether or not to do the surgery now. We decided to go ahead with it because we don't want to risk having to do emergency surgery in the future and have to do surgery while there is infection. We believe that she will continue to have problems with this in the future if we don't get it taken care of. We have good insurance, so

I got up and got ready while L.C. helped prep Pheoby for her day.

She is becoming a little woman. She is so dramatic (I don't know where she gets it, lol) and funny. She loves to tell jokes and is a great story teller.

What a sweet boy this is!!! Once again, I am approaching my bedtime. I need to head to bed, but it was important to share my boy's day with you! Oh... and we were able to meet Jill at Upstate Gymnastics, where we will be enrolling Pheoby soon! Can't wait to see her out there running and bouncing around in that gym! ;o) Thanks again, Jill!

Hey all.... I am home from Michigan after a FUN Stamp Camp! I didn't get much sleep so I set myself a bedtime goal for the week. I am pretty tired and am up later than I am supposed to be, but I did want to post a couple pics. The first two are of some wall art that I created while at stamp camp. And then an updated picture of my sweet boy! He is 3 1/2 months old. I determined over the weekend

L.C. called this morning to tell me that Trey is rolling over! He has done it 3 times so far. No one has witnessed the action, just the results. Hopefully we will have some pictures or video soon!

This is one of the only times in my life that I have been happy to have an opportunity to sit and wait. You see... I struggle with a touch of ADHD so I struggle to entertain myself when in a waiting situation. Often times I fidget so much that it is bothersome to even me (not just the people around me)! This time, however, I am enjoying the time at the Charlotte International Airport since I have

It was a beautiful Spring day today. I spent most of the day cleaning the house. I hate to admit the last time we did a deep cleaning on this house! I will though... by our best estimation it was just before my parents came for Pheoby's birthday, February 22nd. I don't remember the last time I had that many dust bunnies hiding out... well... they weren't really hiding that much by this point. You

It has been a while since I have taken the time to post, huh? I have felt pretty busy lately, not sure why. It has definately been a couple weeks where I have eliminated a few things due to being overwhelmed. Maybe, too, it is because I haven't had any great news to report. Well... I have news tonight! We just got our new computer tonight!!! It is a laptop. Our desktop is one that we purchased

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls... I am pleased to present you with my very first ever digital scrapbook layout! It was so fun to work on. I loved putting all the elements together and manipulating them to suit my whims. I have known for a long time that digi was the way for me and today's experience confirmed it!

Trey moved out! We moved him to his bedroom a week or two ago. I meant to post pics then, but I figure you will forgive me! Because of Trey's continuous coughing we have elevated his mattress. He scoots a little now and with the scooting and the incline he seems to have taken a little detour!

I logged onto msn messenger this weekend, which is something I rarely do, and lo and behold my dear old friend Amanda K. popped on! Amanda was a member of the (I'm sure) famous Jetsabillies small group from SLM @ CWC. Amanda is a very special girl. I was really looking forward to watching her (and all the other Jetsabillies) grow, mature and graduate from high school.I started out with these

I am spending much of my weekend participating in a Virtual Weekend Crop with my secret sister group. We are all working hard to get lots of paper craft projects done while checking in on one another throughout the weekend. There are also challenges. We will post pics of our projects and prizes will be given for jobs well done. It is a nice concept, the virtual crop thing, because it isn't

This Tuesday was not-so-Super for the Hayes family. In honor of Super Tuesday II a poll was taken in our home and the results are in...75% of the human residents in this home are sick!!!It pretty much stunk when Pheoby came down with the flu symptoms (sore throat, cough, high fever, lathargic) over the weekend, but it has gotten worse!

Trey has been smiling for a week or so, but in the last couple days it is really obvious that it isn't just an involuntary movement. He has loved his bear mobile from week 1 so it is no surprise he is all smiles while he hangs out on the changing table. These smiles seemed to be lasting so I took the time to grab the camera. Enjoy!

This morning Pheoby and I found special Valentine's Day gifts on our seats of the car! What a blessing it is to have a loving man in our lives who knows just how to make two girls feel like the only ones alive!!! Tulips were our wedding flower. There is just something about them that I love. And this morning was no different. L.C. has given me roses on several occasions and I love the sentiment,

Gosh! What is it about Oprah? She really does promote some great things. I learned about my new favorite movie, Juno, from her. I also was watching recently and learned about the PBS special African American Lives 2. It looked so interesting. I love the idea of researching my ancestory, but I don't feel smart enough or diligent enough to really do much with it. This documentary looks into the

Yeah, I said it! It is the truth!! And I have proof right here in the special story for tonight's blog entry.As many of you know and the rest probably assume, I have some extra poundage I am trying to let go of since birthing my boy. Well... I have been kinda picky on what I "waste" my calories on. Now, mind you, I don't avoid all junk food. I still get my fair share. But I am really thoughtful

Nope... he was laying down! Today during naptime I got these shots. I took the first one because I realized how big Trey is getting. He fills up the bassinet part of the pack n play!Then I went to check on him cuz he was fussy and he had rotated.Once again I checked in and once again he spun some more!What a cute little guy in big boy pants! They are a tad big still, but worth wearing, I say. And

I have a FUNNY story to share with the world about my husband. Not many people get to know the funniest parts of him, so I take it upon myself to share what I find out! If you haven't noticed, or haven't met my husband, L.C. is pretty proper and attempts to put his best foot forward in most interaction with others. I am much more silly and often sarcastic which is why I enjoy sharing funny

If there is one thing that we buy over and over it seems to be shoes. We go through more shoes than one would imagine a little girl needs. A couple weeks ago we went shoe shopping and left the store with a stack of shoe boxes. I got a pair of well-needed sneeks (my last pair of tennis shoes were purchased when I was pregnant with Pheoby!), Trey got his 3rd pair of kicks that he can't even fit

Today was a good day!My son slept well last night. I believe I got a good 4+ hours solid so that was nice. I spent the day with Trey at a Southern Wesleyan University Alumni Board of Directors meeting that was quite inspirational. This afternoon we met with our friend who we are hoping will take the charge of caring for our boy. After Pheoby woke up from her nap, she and I went out for a little

Trey is one month old!!! I can't believe how fast this month has gone. We have some exciting things on the horizon for our family so the fact that the past month has gone by this quickly makes our future look so close. We took Trey to the doctor on Friday due to several minor things we wanted checked. He has grown so much. He is now 11 1/2 pounds. Zero-Three month clothes are typically for babies

Yesterday we had a snow day. Snow days in the South are so much fun because they are pretty much a guarantee for the littlest bit. And there is a serious buzz all around the region. I had to get a couple items from the grocery store on Thursday and people were out in droves loading up on supplies! ;o) Anyway... here is a glimpse into the fun time we had with our snow day.

Just in case you are wondering... we are all well. We have pretty much been vegging out at home the last several days. We are getting a little bit of order in this home, but not working too hard! ;o) While my parents were here we worked on clearing out some clutter in Pheoby's room, but didn't get to her closet. So tonight we went in and worked in her room. Let me tell you... it was so rewarding

Well... it has been about a week and a half since we met our Baby Trey. It has been a great adjustment period of becoming a family of four. We have had lots of fun, but one of the greatest things has been watching Phoeby become a great big sister. She is so proud to be the big sister and loves her baby brother so much. You can tell in the pictures that she is proud of her new role. The other day

What a wonderful way to celebrate a New Year... spending it getting to know my new son. He is a sweet boy and pretty much only cries when he is hungry. He is a great eater and is pretty much adjusted to our 3 hour feeding schedule. Through the night he just eats enough to not be hungry anymore and then dozes right back off to sleep. I want to give all the details, but my mind is a little fuzzy

Look at this belly grow! I can't believe I am going to be meeting my son next week!!! I am so excited about it! What I am not excited about is that I am growing out of all my clothes. I wore a button up shirt today and the shirt was popping open between the buttons. However, I refuse to buy new clothes at this point!

I have been itching to go ahead and have this baby, but now I have come up with a few reasons that I am now convinced that I would rather wait till next Friday.~My family will be able to make it here in time to share in the experience.~We will have one more weekend to finish up our Christmas shopping. (L.C. and I have put off shopping for each other due to unexpected car repairs.)~I will get paid

I am kinda gonna get the feeling of being a Stay-At-Home-Mom again!I am so excited about some changes that will be made to my employment status after Trey comes! After much prayer and consideration of our family's needs and priorities I submitted a maternity leave request to BHS. What I requested was 8 weeks off and once I returned that they would allow me to squeeze my work into 3 days a week.

Ok... so I am 36 weeks tomorrow, but I will go ahead and post these pics just for the fun of it! I know I have been horrible about keeping up with the pics... I have a good (well, horrible) excuse. My camera has been loaded up with pics and I ran out of CDs to unload them to. So many times in the last couple months I would have to delete a few pics just to take the new ones. I know, it is pitiful

My belly certainly has grown since I last put a picture up here. Can you believe that I am only 52 days from my due date?!?!?! Won't be long! ;o) I went for my 3 hour glucose screen on Monday. My fasting glucose level was 117 so I am pretty sure that I am going to be diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. I will find out the results on Wednesday when I go for my next appointment.

has it really been that long since I last posted? Now that I think of it I tried to post a couple weeks ago and it didn't post. Sorry I have been slacking! It is not for lack of interesting information, but lack of motivation to sit at the computer.Can you believe that I am 32 weeks already?!?!? I really can't wait to meet this little boy of ours. I feel like I am getting to know him better and

It has been way too long since I have added updates to this thing! If it helps... it has been one busy month for us. We had my parents in visiting for 10 days and then my best friend, Jen, flew in to celebrate our birthdays. Things are slowly returning to "normal" although I have not cleaned gotten my house back into order yet. Here are some pics from the past month...21 Weeks Belly Pictures

I didn't do much, but I figure the willingness to pull out all my junk and concentrate on a project is a big step! Yesterday I did just that. I have been wanting to use a CTMH weekly calendar as a pregnancy journal for years. I discovered it when Pheoby was just a few months old and I regretted that I didn't have it when I was pregnant with her. So I pulled it out yesterday and decided I would

I can't believe that I am already almost 1/2 way there. We go for our ultrasound next Friday and I can't wait! We will probably stop to get the paint for the room on the way home!!! ;o)

While changing out my bedding tonight Pheoby found this the perfect opportunity to snuggle! She looked so cute in there that I wanted to jump in there with her, but instead I grabbed the camera to share the moment with you! Enjoy!!! ;o)

It was sooooo exciting! L.C. got to feel the baby move last night. He was really moving around in there. We were shocked because I didn't think it was time to be feeling him from the outside yet. There were several strong kicks right in a row. It kinda seemed like a heartbeat. I have been feeling that for quite some time when I was trying to feel him moving. I would get frustrated cuz I couldn't

Tonight while cleaning up I almost threw away a piece of paper that she had been drawing on. Then I saw this.... You should see, in no particular order, a "p" and an "h." And if you wanna give her a little extra credit you can even see an "e" and an "o." I am so proud of my girl!!!

We had an OB appointment today and we got a little bonus! They gave us a quick peek at our baby!!! I was really happy about that! We will have the full blown ultrasound where they check out all the parts and pieces at our next appointment on August 17th. But for the time being it was really cool to realize how much this baby has grown since our last ultrasound. It was great to see the baby moving

Another proud moment from tonight. Pheoby typically likes to draw things and then decide what they look like instead of making a plan and trying to create something specific. Tonight she drew this and said.... "LOOK! Mom, some puppies really do look like this!!" She was so proud! She didn't erase it. She is saving it for tomorrow so that her daddy can see it. I reminded her before bed not to

Pheoby had a note sent home today. It was cute and makes me proud so I thought I would share it with my dear friends!!! ;o) Oh... and by the way, for about a year she has been calling the store "CVSS" so I am pretty sure she probably said that to the teacher!

Man, it has sure been crazy lately! Between my new 37 1/2 hour schedule at work, L.C.'s shift work, Pheoby adjusting to full-time preschool and growing this baby things sure have been a little out of the ordinary. But... I think I am easing into working and I think Pheoby is pretty well adjusted and I have made it into my 2nd trimester so I think we are developing a new sense of normal. That is

I thought I would share this little pic of the growing belly. I wish I would have taken one at 3 weeks when I first found out so that I had a good comparison, because when L.C. compared week 10 to week 11 he asked me if I had my belly pushed out! I don't think I did, but you be the judge!!! Oh... and I know, I know... I need to smile!

Tonight Pheoby was telling me about a conversation she had with her good friend Mia at school today. She mentioned very casually that she told Mia about her Rainbow and Pony parties. I, shocked, responded that I didn't know she was planning on having a pony party. She said, "Yup! When I am 5!" So there ya go... I guess we have a planner on our hands! I will be really impressed if we really do

Last February we painted Pheoby's bedroom purple for her birthday. She loved it and I guess she figured it would become a tradition to change things up a bit. The other day she decided she wanted to paint her room like a rainbow for her 4th birthday! I kindly explained to her that we won't be painting her room for each birthday, but that perhaps we could put some rainbow stuff in her room. She

Well... after about a year and a half of considering a return to the workforce the seemingly perfect opportunity has presented itself in this time of major transition in our lives. I am really excited about it though. I will be reporting to work at Behavioral Health Services in Pickens County in the morning. It is a full time counseling position that I don't know a whole lot about quite yet. I am

Whelp... it is official!!! Baby #2 is due early 2008! Please pray with all your might that this little one continues to grow healthy and strong. We are really early in making the announcement because I want this baby (and its mommy) to be covered in prayer through this pregnancy. We had some scary stuff happen 4 years ago; it is scary to think of how fragile pregnancy is. What is reassuring to

I got notice today that I have another new downline with Close To My Heart! I am so excited!!! I haven't checked to see when I get a promotion, but it has to be soon! There are now 9 ladies in my unit (including me) and it is sooooo fun! If I can ever get MSN groups to allow new member invitations I may just open up a unit web board. Hmm.... Come on MSN!!!!

Well... I made it! After a 9 day hiatus (which sounds so much better than 9 days of laziness) I made it back to the gym!! And boy oh boy did I love it! It was amazing to push myself.I did the weight loss course on the elliptical. I missed my goal of 5000 strides in 30 minutes, but only by a few strides. I am not sure how much extra time it took, but it couldn't have been 45 seconds that I had to

Church was AWESOME yesterday at Foothills! The topic was Risk. What a great lesson! It is always great to be challenged to drop everything and immediately follow Christ. We had a very New Testament Church kind of service yesterday. They brought a pool in and had spontanious baptisms for people who heard the message, believed and wanted to be baptized. It was so awesome. There were 28 people

I did it!!! I made my 10 pound goal! I didn't make it in the time that I wanted to. I pretty much fell off the "write it down" bandwagon. With Weight Watchers you really need to write down everything you eat during the day in order to make great progress. Well... I haven't written anything down in the last month almost. Reaching this goal motivates me to "write it down" this week. If I do really

It has been a fun time for candid shots around the house the last few days. I thought I would share them with you. Pheoby has been eating Uncle Justin's venison sausage like it is going out of style. She really loves it and asked for it for lunch yesterday. She had sausage, grapes and chocolate milk. What more could a girl ask for? And yes... she is still in her pony jammies! Today L.C. took

I am really excited about the new growth in my Close To My Heart business again! (www.hayesydays.myctmh.com) It is funny the ebb and flow I have had with this since I signed up as a consultant three years ago. My pampered chef lady actually convinced me to look into direct sales. Bet she regrets that! ;o) I compared the two companies and decided that I should go with something that I really love

Well... it is 12:18 and I have so much I want to do today! Pheoby is almost ready for her nap and I am hoping to GO, GO, GO while she is down. I need to do prep work for my Playgroup tonight (some girls are coming over to do some stamping and scrapbooking!) and I need to work on some cards for a swap that are due on Saturday. I am hoping to get them in the mail by tomorrow. I would also like to

If there is one thing my stay-at-home-mom self loves it is my home all to myself just to unwind. I have always been this way, too.

What a wonderful weekend! My brother Andy, his wife Anna and their kids, Abigail & Miles, came in on Friday morning and left today. It was GREAT to have them come to stay with us, to catch up, to share our lives with them, to play some Nintendo Wii, to learn about how cool GPS units are, and to watch these CRAZY kids play with one another. It was a busy, fun filled weekend. We had a blast and

I really need to get to sleep! I am exhausted, but I just read a friend's blog where he referred to 23 years ago (he is my age) and I remembered something that happened to me yesterday that was pretty crazy.I had to fill out a volunteer survey to work in the nursery at church. One of the questions on the form was when did you become a Christian. That was pretty easy. I was in ninth grade. I

I haven't wanted to brag too much because I am a little scared, but I think we are finally done potty training! That was the LONGEST process of my life and probably Pheoby's, too! I am documenting this in blog-fashion partly to share this wonderful news with you, but also because one day way into my future I hope to have another child of potty-training age and I would like to pass along some
