Introducing Gus and Wyatt!!!

Thursday morning Jasmine and John welcomed their new babies, Gus Dean and Wyatt Daniel to the world! Ladies and Gentlemen… Jasmine is a real-life super hero… Listen to this, ready? Gus weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 11 oz and Wyatt was 7 lbs. 1 ounce…..!!!!!!!!!!!! What????? I mean, almost 16 pounds of pure baby! Like so many have said, I have NEVER heard of TWINS being that big and healthy! Needless to say, she is my new hero, she deserves a gold medal and I should probably contact Guiness Book of World Records because she is a one of a kind! The boys are just as precious as can be and sweet Darby is just going to be the best big sis ever! We love you Pitchers!

Here they are!!!!!

Happy Birthday baby boys!

You know what I'm gonna do Mom? Yup! Eat my hands again. 

Good Morning Sunshine

Ollie LOVES his Step N' Play Piano….

So funny.. When he wakes up, he looks right into the monitor
camera… "Mom, Dad? I know you see me..!"

Thanks Clement's for my adorable shirt!

So sweet. So innocent. So pure….
Until he blows out his diaper in Mommy's favorite outfit from Aunt Coco...

Happy Boy

beautiful trails of Arizona


TGIF Everyone! Happy weekend and GO NINERS!!!!!! 

Home Sweet Home

Where did the time fly? It seems like just yesterday that it was December and Jesse and I found out that we were moving to Arizona for his new job! It's JUNE and we ARE HERE!!!!! I can hardly even believe it! Well, Jes has technically been here since January but we are reunited as a married couple and living under the same roof... for more than a week!!!!! My heart sings a happy tune when I remember that I don't have to say goodbye to him in a few weeks! In fact, we've been getting to "re-know" each other as silly as that seems because if you've known our life we have been a long distance couple for almost 8 years now!!!! Crazy, right? I'm pretty sure that if we can survive the distance for that long, we'll be good to weather any type of situation, right? And I am a firm believer that distance DOES make the heart grow fonder! We are big time proof that long-distance relationships do and can survive and be amazing!

Since I'm taking time off, I have become a housewifey and let me tell you..... I LOVE IT! Sorry, but I always knew I would! Who wouldn't like getting up when their happy heart desires (even though my preggy heart gets me up at 3:00 am to pee and 5:00 for good..)???? Who wouldn't like making breakfast, packing a lunch, and cooking dinner for their hubby? Well, I guess some wouldn't but I love cooking/baking so it makes me a happy girl! I swear I have never done as many dishes in my life! I think because I have the time to actually cook and bake how I want, I blow through pots, pans, and dishes like a 10 person family would! Jesse even threw in the line "Man, you're bustin' out all your goods now!" Hahah, I love that man! Call me crazy, but I like cleaning! I know some people might be laughing in their chair and saying, "Well good for you, Lindsey," but I do... I have a problem... I know! I have already gotten past the first stage of admitting that! So, I've been dusting every nook and cranny, cleaning the blinds, windexing windows, scrubbing floorboards, sweeping, and well I guess you can say that I am a complete NESTER! I knew I would do this when I was pregnant, but because it's getting closer to the time that we bring our babe home, I want it to be ours... Our dirt, our filth, our germs, ya know? Yes, I am weird and a clean/sparkly house makes my heart so happy! Jesse and I even passed up hiring a maid to come clean this place because I knew I could do it better and my way.... Sick right? The sad part is I don't even feel close to being done! I still have a running mental list of what needs more scrubbing/cleaning.... So, basically, I spend my days looking like a bum, inside doing house chores, decorating and running errands! Bottom line, I love it, feel so blessed to be able to, and feel so much less like a crazy person that has a brain running a million miles a minute with lists and lists of things to do! Speaking of decorating.... I am still in denial that we actually filled a 4 bedroom home with stuff from our 1 bedroom condo....???? How is that possible? I mean, seriously!

Anyways, I know I am famous for writing posts that seem to go on and on and on.... so I am going to leave this one (the rest of it)  to mostly pictures of our new house with just a few side notes! I can't help but fall in love with this place because I know that here in September, this is where we will be bringing our sweet baby boy back to and start our family of 3!!!!

Someone knew I would spend a lot of time in here...

Welcome to Caribbean Ln in Scottsdale, AZ!!!! Stop by for a visit when you're in town! We'd love to have you and I'll have margaritas and desserts waiting!

Yep.... I Gave In!

Well... Welcome to our new blog! :) Do you think I am crazy for doing this right in the middle of about 50 big life changes? Well, I do, but this is something that has been on my "To-Do" list along with about a million bazillion other things so I am so happy that it's up and running! I had about zero clues on how to create my own blog, so yes... I found a super cute gal that does this for a living! What a blessing and what a job! :) I wanted to start blogging because Jesse and I are going through a lot of BIG and new life changes that we wanted you to be a part of! So, let me catch you up a bit....(grab a yummy cup of coffee and dessert)

If you didn't already know by now, we are moving to Scottsdale on June 1st.... And by we, I mean me and the dogs... He's been living there with some friends since January and working his tail off with Depuy Mitek Sports Med.  He's a sales rep for the Mountain West Division in the Scottsdale territory and spends his days traveling from hospital to hospital and kissing up to Docs to make them happy!!!! Ya gotta do, what ya gotta do! There is of course the business side to things and paperwork, yada, yada.... Being in Scottsdale has allowed him to hit up some of the nice courses there with some of the Docs, so that of course is a plus in his book! Not to mention, he's been scoping out new restaurants and where it's happenin'! So, come June we will be starting our new and busy life in beautiful Scottsdale.... OK... HOT SUMMER SCOTTSDALE..... (I'll be sending out new address cards soon) And this brings me to the BIGGEST change that is coming up...

About 20 weeks preggers!

I'm pregnant! Welcome to the world if you didn't know that! I seemed to have popped out like the second I found out I was pregnant, so no I am not just getting chubby.... Well, yes I am- but there is a good reason for it! :) I'm due in September with a little baby boy who we will be naming Oliver! And almost positive that his full name will be Oliver Reid Barnsley. Yes, that's right people- that is my maiden name and we are thrilled that it could be brought back into the line somehow! Jesse is already talking about how he wants to call him Oli! We went to our gender revealing ultrasound on April 26th and right away Mr. Oliver revealed his family jewels... (Daddy was proud to say the least) Jesse and I were so thrilled because secretly we both wanted a boy... I really was so fine either way, but I've known all along this was going to be a baby boy and Jesse was happy to secure a son! :) When I'm not busy packing up our condo and my classroom, I am either at the baby stores or browsing online- which is a problem/addiction.... I mean seriously- that's where the money is people! BABY STUFF! There is something out there for everything and like 200 different versions/brands/colors etc... I am so type A so I don't feel complete until I look at every option- Lord help me, I know!

Sweet Oliver at 13 weeks! Can you just not get over how cute that little leg is? He might be like his Daddy with long legs and big feet!

I am finishing up the school year (my 5th year already) and that in itself is exhausting... THE. KIDS. ARE. DONE!!! And I mean cooked- like overdue crispy bacon and have been ready for summer the first day it got warm... So, it's just tying up loose ends and starting to take down and pack for good.... TEAR! I love that place! I love everything about my school and wish I could pack it up in a box or two and move it and my Principal with me... I'm going to be a crying, hormonal mess when I turn in my key- I just know it!

So, from Jesse getting a new job and moving, to finding out we are pregnant I am about in over my head already and am looking forward to finally being able to reunite with my sweetie for good, decorate our new home and prepare for our sweet blessing.  It's going to be a busy few months, but in the end it will so be worth it!  I will be updating as much as I can and putting up picture after picture I'm sure! So, bear with me as I get used to blogging and I'll see you soon! xoxo
