Power of a Flutter

November 13 at approximately 10:45pm, I was sitting in my brother, Scott, and sister in-law, Kellie's kitchen having a good 'ol sisterly talk with Kellie. This is a night I will never forget. What was so special about it? It was just an ordinary night of girl talk until approximately 10:45pm when. . .

I felt The Bean move for the first time.

I felt the baby two times, one right after the other. It was amazing. I cannot explain the feeling. It was very unique and only one that I can call a flutter. I never knew how much I would love a flutter. I have felt The Bean move several times today and every time I do, it brings a smile to my face.

So if we are in the middle of conversation, weather it be happy, sad or indifferent, if you see me start smiling at a random moment. . . just know, that it is The Bean giving the mommy a love flutter.

Friday Fun Night at the Fire Station

Gannon, Scottie Jo, Nae Nae, Josie, Lakyn and I went up and spent the evening with Uncle Cam at the fire station.

The girls take a second out from their hide and seeking to pose for a quick picture.
Could quite possibly be the most handsome firefighter on the planet. . .hummm, Yep he is!
Lakyn
Josie
You can't catch me. . .
Uncle Cam Cam loves his Josie
Whew. . .we were tired and needed a water break
Nae Nae trying to scare her Aunt Traci . ..so scary but still so beautiful.

Uncle Cam sure does love his kiddos.

Snuck in a quick picture of them in their hiding spot
The firefighters got a call to a car fire so we had to put our fun on hold for a bit

All the kids met in our "safe spot" while the fire fighters got ready to leave for their call
After the call the girls had lots of questions
One of those questions were. . ."Can we go get candy out of Brad's office?"

Thank you Brad for the candy!
