Springtime in Memphis

We had such a nice, relaxing weekend!! It was very needed after a long week at work and I had been sick this week. The weather was beautiful and we played outside ALL day today!! The kids and Scott and I loved it. I am so glad winter is over and we can start spending more time outside in our backyard! The kids love their swings

One thing we have missed while living in Memphis is Sonic. The closest one is about 15minutes away and we used to have one right down the road in Texas. Kind of weird, but I have been wanting to try those new hot dogs they have been showing on their commercials, so that was dinner tongiht. Of course, the kids had to get ice cream while we were there :)

Sweet Leah

Jackson and Daddy! He helped Scott all day in the yard today, he helped plant our new grass seed in the backyard. Sweet boy

Scott's 20week and 5 day pregnancy post. He is such a nerd!! It is amazing how far guys can pooch their tummies!! But I have to love that guy!

I hope everyone else enjoyed the beautiful weather this weekend and has a good week!!

Our Family is Growing

It has been forever since I have posted, as usual! We are all very excited at the Ludlow Household starting to plan for baby #3!!! This a pic at 14 weeks of my growing baby bump
This is 18weeks and 4 days. Cravings this pregnancy have been lots of sandwiches and fruit!!! I also like my glass of milk almost every night...if you know me at all, you know this is VERY WEIRD :) Oh what pregnancy does to you...

We had our 19 week sono today and I found myself really emotional seeing our little baby. I just cannot believe how blessed Scott and I are. Seeing our little baby move around and suck it's thumb just created a wave of such strong love. I am already so in love with this child and it's not even here yet.



I love this picture of the baby's foot, you can see perfectly it's five little toes...
Profile of the baby. The baby looks different than Jackson and Leah in their sono's at this age, it's nose is so much more tiny and pointy. I wonder if this one will look different.

Playtime with Megan and Jared

The day before Jeff, Abby and the kids left, Megan and Jared came into town. They were out of school and came to watch the kids and play with us for the week since the kids didn't have school. We had so much fun with them. The morning we left for Texas, Santa came to see the kids so they could have their toys in Memphis. It was hard for them to leave their new toys right away, but seeing family made it all better :)
jackson and his BumbleBee Transformers...his new OBSESSION

We took the kids to Kids Station so Megan and Jared could experience Beale Street one night while they were here...and we had an automatic designated driver with my little bun in the oven :) It was a nice night of talking, laughing and live music!!


I took some engagement pics of Megan and Jared while they were here. Megan was super nervous how Jared would do before we took them because he is all manly man and is not all about the pics. But they had a blast taking them and were so much fun to see laugh together! They are going to make such a great married couple!! Thanks for being a good sport Jared!

This one is dark but I thought the trees looked so cool in the background


Jared is going to kill me for putting this pic on here, but that's what he gets for doing a nerdy face :)

We went to a delicious yogurt place called CeCe's with them one night and it reminded me of one of our fav places to go with Mark and Lisa in Texas called Yogilicious....I think I found a new fav preggo place :/ This is Leah's disturbing concoction...candy corn, strawberries, fruity pebbles and I don't know what else. She thought it was amazing, that's what counts!
Jackson loves his fruit!

We got the kids Twister for Christmas but the adults broke it out for a night of entertainment...man that was some good laughs

I LOVE THIS PIC!!! Could we be in a more awkward position?!?


This is the kids cheering when we told them we were going to open some gifts. I love them so much!! They are so funny!

Aunt Megan and silly Jackson. We had so much fun with them for the week, I just wish we were closer together!!! Love you guys!

Trip to see Megs and Fun with Our Cousins!!!

I have like 2 whole months of blogging to catch up on!!! This is bonkers!!! It has been a fun and tiring 2 months, to say the least. We went to Megan and Jared's house in the Texas panhandle with Nj for Thanksgiving and it was so fun to see Megan hosting her first Thanksgiving!! We only had one mini fire but other than that it was perfect :) The week we got back Scott's brother Jeff and his wife Abby with their 4 kids came to visit. We had so much fun!!! We went to the zoo after it had snowed, made Christmas cookies and, of course, Incredible Pizza. The kids all get along so great, they just played together so the parents could relax and watch movies of their own. All 6 kids slept in Jackson and Leah's room and it was the cutest thing to see them all tucked in at night!! We can't wait for them to come and visit again!

The Cousins

Jackson and Leah had a Christmas Program at School right before they got out for the break, they were so cute...I don't know if it's the hormones, but I got choked up seeing them on stage...I'm one of THOSE moms :)

We had a Tacky Christmas Party with some of the Residents Scott goes to school with. It was hilarious to see everyone's costumes and even better to open the White Elephant gifts. This is Karen, she got a Dr. Kit and look closely at the little bottle that came with it :)
