The Dreaded Dressing Room.

Trying on clothes has never been a favorite thing of mine.  Not at any size.  Okay, it is nice to walk into a dressing room with an item of clothing in the size you think are only to find it is too big, but that has only happened a hand full of times.  You know what is worse than your everyday trying on clothes?  Trying on clothes after you have had a baby. I mean even my two year old looked at me as I was putting my elastic waist sweats on the other day and said "Ewwww." What a confidence booster!

My mom had a brilliant idea for me to buy a new dress or outfit for me to wear while I sing in church this coming Sunday.  So on my very sacred Mother's Day Out day, my mom, Cooper and I took a trip to the store.  I picked out two tops and a dress to try on, and my mom, Cooper, and I made our way into the dreaded dressing room.  As I switched out the clothes I am wearing for the clothes I am about to squeeze in to, I catch a glimpse of the mirror out of the corner of my eye.  You know how you don't want to look in the mirror until the new outfit is on and then even then you aren't sure you should look.  Well, I looked before the new outfit was on and I flashed back to the pageant body I once had and took for granted and then I looked over at Cooper and thought of my other two boys who were at Mother's Day Out and realized it was all worth it, but it still stinks that the dress didn't fit!  You know where I ended up after those three things didn't fit?  I ended up in the baby section buying things for the boys.  That's how it goes!  I do know that I have every intention to get the baby weight from both pregnancies off one day.  News flash to self... being a member of Weight Watchers, having a gym membership, and saving all the clothes I once fit in does not make me the size I want to be.  Did you know you actually have to follow the Weight Watcher's plan and go to the gym to fit in those clothes?  Another day, another one of life's lessons learned.

Something they will never live down!

A new hobby of his!

Fun outside!

Let's get started.

For over a year now my mom has told me I need to start a blog.  I think it is because she receives more than a dozen phone calls a day from me.  These phone calls consist of countless stories of our three boys.  The stories are funny things the boys have done and milestones they have achieved.  Some phone calls are made for advise or even just for a listening ear on a hard day.  Now, in a addition to those phone calls, we are starting a blog.  So sit down and relax, our family will take you on some crazy rides!

You probably will need some background of our family to be able to fully understand some of the stories coming your way. 

Clint is my husband.  He is one of the best husbands and dads in the world.  He has a great job as a Children's Minister which allows him to be around us a lot and interact with our boys not only at home but at his job as well.

I am Jaclyn, the mom.  I am a girlie girl who has been extremely blessed with a wonderful husband and three sweet little boys.  I am a stay at home mom.

Carter is our first born.  Well, first born only by a minute.  He is our Twin A.  Don't let his growling and grunting fool you, he is a sweet boy who can melt your heart with just one smile.  He loves to play outside but doesn't particularly like to get dirty.  He is a thinker.  He loves puzzles, legos, pushing cars around, popcorn, crackers, ketchup and french fries.

Hutch is our second son, Twin B.  He is our ornery one.  He loves to pick on Carter.  He is a self proclaimed monkey.  He will climb, jump, and run all over the place.  His crystal blue eyes are going to make him a heart throb one day.  He loves dinosaurs, monkeys, picking on his brother, movies, ketchup and cheese.

Cooper is our newest addition.  He is only a couple months, but we see glimpses of who he will be.  He is an easy going baby.  He is really sweet and we know he is going to be tough.  He has to be tough with two older brothers.  Right now he loves his baths, bottle, pacifier and to be loved on.

This is our family and we are excited to tell you our stories!

Carter and Hutch are 2!
