What's new at our house!

I could write a novel tonight but choosing to only give you a glimpse at all the blessings over the last several days :)

Lydia Kaye Satterfield blessed this world on Tuesday, November 16 at 5:35 pm

What's in a name? Well, so glad you asked

Lydia was my precious great grandmothers name who I was very close with and Kaye is "K's" middle name. We had originally decided on Brianna Lydia, but we all decided we LOVED Lydia Kaye just a little more :)

One of the sweetest things I witnessed today! Turner is in LOVE~~
Like father like son!
Sorry this one is out of order, but I have to brag on my not so little boy :) He is going on the big boy potty. We have a "pee pee in the potty " song and dance we do before and after the "event" Of course Turner and I made them both up ~

Just minutes after Lydia was born. ~ I had the honor of being in the room to witness the shear awesomeness of Lydia's birth! The Dr. even let me cut the cord! John stood right outside the door and heard it all :)

~~~Weigh in time~~~

I was so over whelmed with emotions after Lydia was born that our wonderful nurse had to keep saying to me "This is a perfect picture, get out your camera" Little did she know, I took her advise and took over 200 pictures in less than 24 hours :)

One blessed and thankful mommy!

And one blessed Daddy

My little love bugs :) Haven't gotten a picture of the 4 of us just yet :)

Relaxing in daddy's chair

His shirt today said "The coolest brother" and boy has that been the truth! Turner loves feeding his "idia" aka Lydia. He's been such a good helper today and can't get enough of his little sissy

Headed to our 1st doctor's appointment this morning~Dr.Fields said she was a perfect little angel!

K gave Lydia this very special outfit for pictures and to come home in. I absolutely love it...it's so delicate and what a precious gift she will cherish forever :)

K getting our little princess all pretty for pictures

These last few days have been amazing...oh all the wonderful memories that have been made and all the precious visits K and I had Tuesday all through the night...I wouldn't change them for the world...I have so much respect for this women..she is such an amazing mother with a compassionate heart and sweet and gentle spirit. I am so honored her family is now our family!

I have so many more sweet stories and pictures of all of Lydia's brothers and sisters and K that when the time is right I'll share those too....they are breath taking...you can see and feel all the love surrounding this little angel.

Thank you all our amazing friends who have faithfully praying for not only us but "K"...we all felt God's presence and love the entire time. We are blessed beyond words

Halloween take 2!

Here is Halloween outfit #2 since we lost all of the Chef "accessories" at the zoo! Thanks to Aunt CC for coming up with this clever, quick, and cheap idea!

Introducing Turner the HOBO

Nothing like a little candy corn "See Food"

Yesterday we had our last Dr appoint with "K" and a week from today our little angel will be here. We induce bright an early next Tuesday morning in Tulsa. Please say prayers for K, baby, and all of the family that we all have peace and feel God's presence.

I am having all kinds of emotions right now. Yes I am thrilled and so anxious to meet our little girl, but my heart is breaking for "K"....more so than ever before.....I keep going back to the day we returned Braxton to "M" and oh how my heart ached more than words could describe even though I knew it was part of God's master plan...and I know those feelings are what "K" will be experiencing soon...I wish I could take the hurt away from her...so please say special prayers on her behalf that God fills her heart with peace.

My sweet friend Candy, who knows my decorating taste too good, sent me a link to a blog and I fell in love with the above idea and decided to copy it! The frame is from my mom's childhood barn window, the yellow dress was mine, the bibs John's mother gave us, the doll blanket was made by my great grandmother as well as the pillow case. The handkerchief was made by John's great grandmother, and the doily was given to me by my Aunt Lora and my great aunt made it.

OCtoBeR FuN!!

Wow- I can't believe today is the last day of October~ my how the month has flown by. I'm apologizing now, my pictures are all out of order which usually drives me nuts but today I'm going to let it fly~! Yesterday we celebrated part 1 of Halloween....we met Jordan, Charlene, Trinity, and Terrill at the zoo for Haunt the Zoo....The kids had a lot of fun..now John & I on the other hand...think if we ever go back, Turner will be dressed as a dog so he can wear a leash!

Mr. Top Chef himself :) Thank you Aunt Cc for the adorable outfit :)
While mommy was gone to Hartford for a week, papa and Turner made some yummy yummy cookies

The mustache didn't last too long :)

Star Trek at the zoo!

Old Lady Hubbard must not have had any children....she thought by holding Turner's head still he'd smile and look at me :) WRONG

Hurry~ Get out of the boat...JAWS is coming

Of course, within the 1st 5 minutes we managed to loose Turner's chef hat :(

Halloween 2010 was a Blast

Turner's very 1st pumpkin

Turner had so much fun painting his pumpkin....he especially liked the glitter paint

So serious...he must be creating an original master piece

Lolly & pops came down for OSU's homecoming and taught Turner a new trick :)

At the OSU game Turner, Grey and Rawley got to play basketball with the OSU basketball players

Tonight we'll celebrate part 2 of our Halloween weekend by going to Ms. Kathy's for her famous chicken taco soup and trick or treating! Turner's going to be Hobo tonight!

Pumpkin Patch Pictures Galore!

After church and nap time, we took Turner to his 1st pumpkin patch! It was so much fun....a petting zoo, corn and hay maze, tricycle races, play ground set and so much more~

Every kids dream!

~Enjoy the pictures~

God is so good~

What a perfect day to visit the pumpkin patch

Seriously mom, enough pictures already

I got a little pumpkin like me!

This sums up how much fun we had! Wish you could have heard his little squeals!

Catch me if you can!

Yummy!

Not only does it taste good, it smells good too!

Playing in the corn maze

Holding papa's hand tight so we don't get lost~

This one is a little out of order...playing the guitar before church~practicing his praise and worship songs

I LOVE this boy!

Having fun playing on the hay and being silly

Turner refused to give John a smile :)

Pumpkin Patch trip 2010

T is for Two~ Turner is Two!

It's hard to believe that 2 years ago today we held our little angel for the 1st time-oh how it seems like it was just yesterday we fell in love with both him and "C"~ Happy Birthday Turner Bears! We are so blessed, you are such a little love bug!

Turner: Pizza, Pizza-jumping up and down and turning circles

Mommy: What book do you like

Turner: Brown Bur (aka Brown Bear)

Mommy: Can I get a kiss

Turner: roar....then kisses me all over like a "kissy monster"

Turner had a Bug Backyard Birthday Bash on Saturday to celebrate turning 2. Here are some highlights from the party

No party is complete without lots and lots of friends!! Vivi and Addie looked at me crazy when I gave them their bug houses and said "Lets go hunt bugs" Thank goodness we had pretty pink plastic bugs hidden in the back yard!


All of Turner's friends from Ms. Kathys came except for sweet Ms. Kathy~She had a class she had to take...so we took lots of pictures for her to enjoy:)

Are those not the sweetest little girls! Turner is no longer the baby at Ms. Kathys

No Bug Party is complete without Bug food...we had Ants on a log, spiders, and sandwiches

We were extra blessed Jordan got to spend the entire weekend and celebrate with us!

What's a party with out some adorable and yummy cupcakes!

Not only did Turner have friends at his party but mommy did too!! Some of my dearest friends~

I'm such a happy birthday boy!!!

Lolly even got a dainty lady bug painted on her face!!

Proud Lolly & Pops

Both of Turner's Great Grandmothers were able to celebrate another birthday with us!!

Aunt CC made these adorable bug head bands for all the kids to wear on their bug hunt!!

I heart my family!!!

Oh how I love the boys in my life~they make my life so wonderful and complete!

Turner you bring such joy into our lives. You are more than we could have ever imagined, guessed, or requested...you are PERFECT in every single way. You're all BOY who loves to be hugged, kissed, and tickled. You've got such a sweet spirit about you~I love your Eskimo kisses, your big hugs and pats on my back. You are so sweet to your sissy's- giving them your left overs and always putting blankets on them when it's cold. You've got a sparkle in your eye and a contagious laugh that makes our world go around. We love you to the moon and back and are so blessed God choose us for YOU.
