Brothers......this is love <3

This morning I asked Parker to hold Harrison while I went potty and he quickly agreed and sat on the couch with the boppy....



I put Harrison in the boppy and quickly went and did my thing. As I was coming down the hallway into the living room I heard Parker singing to his brother.....this is the song :)



Makes my heart smile ;)




Here is Harrison at one month old :)

Harrison Ray Feagans

We are proud to announce the birth of Mr. Harrison Ray Feagans!

Mommy and Harrison are doing great!

Big Sister, Madison is very excited and Big Brothers, Parker and Lincoln are not sure what to think about all of this!!

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers!! Hope you all can meet him soon!

Nearing the End.....

Crabby..........check
Emotional...........check
Exhausted...........check
Short Tempered..........check
Uncomfortable...........check

Everything else that comes along with pregnancy in the last couple of weeks I am probably feeling too(yes, even excited, happy and possibly glowing)......but overall I am mentally, physically and emotionally DONE.

God if you are reading..........I am ready.........

35 weeks and 1 day.....

I went to see the doc yesterday :) Dr. Lindsey checked me and I am dilated to 1, but she says that I still have at least 3 weeks to go. I would really like to celebrate the 4th of July without a baby in tow! So anytime after the 4th, bring it on!!! There is still no plan in place, but my doctor is very aware that I want her to be the one to deliver me.

We will just have to wait, a little longer!

Pregnancy Update

So here is the deal, I was at the doctor on May 27th and I saw the midwife/nurse practitioner. She hounded me about the fact that I have not gained any weight in the past 6 weeks. I quickly reassured her that I eat plenty. I have a husband and a whole home team to back that up!! Not to mention I think that I eat ice cream every evening after 8:30pm.

Anyway so while at the doctors office I learned that my doctor is on call the weekend of the 4th of July. Then she is leaving to go out of town. I have never made it to my due date so I am really hoping that she will decide to take the baby on July 5th. We will see. I see the doctor on Monday so I hope to be back with an update :)


It is 10:25 and I am headed to the freezer for some ice cream and strawberries!!

Am I back, not so sure.....

but I did want to post this photo of Parker....his face is still crackin' me up!!!

NOW that just ROCKS :)

What just ROCKS you might ask?

I want to tell you but what you NEED to do is check it out on your own!!!

HERE IT IS :)

Advice, Guidance and Thoughts....

So with our WONDERFUL (insert sarcasm) president that we have in office, I have been kicking around the idea of starting to home school Madison and the boys. I have done some research about homeschooling and I have some close friends that work hard at educating their children everyday. I have also read a lot of blog post of mom's who home school....real moms, who talk about real day to day struggles and the joys that come with this job.

I want your Advice, Guidance and Thoughts.... not really the ones that are against this but I will take what I can get :)

Here it goes :) Thanks in advance for all of your thoughts!!

Priceline did it AGAIN....

yep they provided a great room for us at a great rate!!

We stayed at the Country Inn & Suites.

We should have paid o$89.99 for our room but going through priceline and doing the "name your price" deal was much more affordable! We paid $55.00 for the evening...and a huge breakfast the next morning. If we would have gone out for breakfast our family of 5 could have easily have spent ave $30.00 for breakfast.

Thanks Priceline, you did it yet again!

Freakin' OUT....Mommies with Cents to the Resuce!

So I am going to have 4 children....I think it is just setting in. Well, it really sat in today at the grocery store as I saw a mother and her 4 children (all under that age of umm... 4 (I think)) try to accomplish shopping. I felt bad for the lady. I could hear her children on 3-4 isles over and her yelling over them.

Now, I know that my children would NEVER do that (HA), but I am trying to figure out what to do with the new baby when shopping. Parker walks, and I must praise him for what a fine job he did today at the store. He walked and helped and I only told him a few times that he was getting a little too far ahead. Lincoln rides in the top buggy part and holds the list and draws on it. Do you really think I can let both boys walk....I would come home with unheard of things....and lots of them.

So I have been doing some research and during my research I found a giveaway for a sling. Now I have thought about the sling many time and I think that it could work. So I am posting about her give away so I can get my name in the "hat" twice and to get some feedback. Have you used a sling? Did you like it? What are the pros and cons? PLEASE HELP....I want to return to public again one day...soon :)

The giveaway info:

BTW, I read her all the time, she is on my google reader and she posts some seriously fun things and great deals!!

Please help any feedback will be appreciated :)

Stuff :)

So now that you are back here, what do you think about the make over? Are you lovin' my little family up top?



Well, I contacted Jennisa and she hooked me up!! Go check her out and if you have her design your blog tell her that I sent you!



I recently learned about being a Follower....yeah, I know I am a bit slow on that one...but I welcome you to become one of Raising Feagans' Followers. That sounds stalkerish..... You can get instant emails when I update about our little family! So sign up just to the right :)



I will be posting some photos soon, some of the belly and some of the boys....being boys!



We had a great time at my parents house on Saturday evening so I will have those photos too! I am teaching again and have been exhausted. So no promises on those photos.

HAPPY 31st!!!

He is 31, oh my...

Happy Birthday DJF :)

First time for everything....

Oh the pressure, for what you might be thinking....BELLY SHOTS....

I have NEVER (until now) taken any photos of my belly from the side. And well, starting to do that with #4 is quite funny :)

I am 16 weeks and 5 days and well, below is the shot....

Rachel, I hope you are happy :)

Lincoln, You Are 2!

Lincoln Jay, Today you are TWO. I cannot believe it. You love to throw the football with your dad (and wear a baseball glove when you do this), your most used saying is "I wanch (want) you", you love to help cook and clean and make messes and watch Jonah. You are saying 6-7 word sentences. WOW!! You are busy and love to do everything that your brother does. You ALWAYS want to know about Papa's Trailer. When you run you punch your arm out in front of you, it is really funny!! We love you and cannot believe that you are two!!

I love you,

Mommy and Daddy

Update from Colorado and Merry Christmas

Yes, we are in Colorado for Christmas this year!! Madison and Parker got letters from Santa...He knows that we are in Colorado. Yeppee!!

Our Christmas Cards have been sent out announcing some very important information the Feagans Family is holding. Check out the card below for our announcement!!!

Yes, our card announces the upcoming birth of baby #4. I am due July 13th. I have an August baby so this should not be too bad :) As of right now I am feeling extremely exhausted, and I have been much more sick with this pregnancy. I am looking forward to the 2nd trimester so I am feeling better. As with 2 out of the 3 other children we will not be finding out what the gender of this baby will be but I am already feeling like this one is a girl.

We must be sensitive to the little ears in our family when talking about what we "think" we are having. I was nearly 99.9% sure that Lincoln was a girl, and we expressed this to everyone. Needless to say I think Madison was brokenhearted when she found out he was a BOY.

I will be posting photos of our vacation in the days to come!! Check back......

Where Have I Been?

Well, I have been to the doctor, a bunch.....for the kids and me. It seems that we had a virus going through our home. It did not start just after Halloween, no that was just me being lazy and not posting.

A little family update:

Daniel: We are thanking God daily that he still has a job since there were some lay off's that recently happened at his company. He is still running 3 out of town jobs. Luckily he has not been out of town for them too much. Just day trips here and there.

Me: I have been making bows and binkie cords. I plan to see the bows and the binkie cords and give the profit to our church building fund. I have taken the winter off from lessons. My mom is still watching the boys on Mondays and I get a break to do Mommy stuff and help out in Madison's 1st grade class.

Madison: She is loving 1st grade. She has been having spelling test now for some time and I don't think she has missed one word...GO MADISON!! She is very excited for Santa to come. She is getting taller and more beautiful by the day :)

Parker: Parker is finishing up his last week of school and I am sure that he will be upset when he doesn't get to go. He wants to be just like Sissy. He has taken the roll of "Big Brother" to a whole new level. He is a protector of his little brother and helps him through out the day, making sure that he gets pushed in at the table, helping Lincoln find his shoes, playing with him and calling him his "Buddy." It is priceless to see them together.

Lincoln: He is growing up sooo fast! He is saying 3-4 word sentences. He is a lover. He wants to be with his brother ALL the time. Lincoln is very busy and he is starting to talk and explain things like Parker does. It is so funny to hear them talking to each other. They have their own little "talk" it is like listening to 2 old men tell stories!!

With Thanksgiving just passed and Christmas around the corner we are such a blessed family. We have the greatest families and friends a family could ask for :)

Since I have been sooo lazy, Merry Christmas if I don't get back on here to blog :)

Trick or Treat?

Ok, so I know I am a few days late but I wanted to show off my cuties!!

Madison, the dancing Zebra, We made this costume. I made the tutu, the tail and I sewed the heart on the shirt...GO ME!!

The Tail






Parker, the Monster but often called himself a dragon.



Lincoln, will always be Mommies Monkey. He was the first one to climb on top of my kitchen table!




Hope you enjoy!




One more thing....

The weather here in Missouri is CRAZY, our Halloween night is usually rainy and cold, they year Parker didn't wear the hood of his costume most of the night because he was so hot. True fall weather will not be back until Thursday or Friday of this week.

4 years down, more to come ;)

Happy Anniversary DJF!

I love you more and more with each days passing. I once didn't belive that that was possible but you have showed me a love that no other could possibly show! I love you and I look forward to many more minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years with you!

"I have to go to my soccer practice."

Do you know how often we hear this in one week at our house?

Parker LOVES soccer....No really, he LOVES it.

That is all the talk around our house these days!!

Below are some photos of Parker, his team and his silly brother!

What is it with kids when they do this streach or move, as Parker calls it...

their little foot goes in the air?

I know this one is a little blurry but I think it truly captures how happy he is out there playing (or running the cones)!

This is one way to put it....

Not sure if this is the best way to put it but it sure is one way....

Guility as charged....

He got into the markers and when I asked him if he did it...he said NO.... He looks a little guility to me!
