I think B secretly wants to be famous. For some reason news stations come in the liquor store constantly wanting to interview us for different things. Road construction, changing liquor laws, underage drinking, fake id's.... If I'm there B will ask me if I want to do it and I of course say heck no. B, on the other hand, never says no. He will act like he doesn't want to do it but he always says yes. In fact, I think he loves being interviewed. He would never in a million years admit this, though. He never even tells me he does it. Usually, like tonight, one of our friends sees him on the news and sends me a text. I'm so glad I got a picture tonight! In his defense it is good advertising for the store so I try not to give him too much hell about it! I'm just glad he does it and I don't have to! I sound like a complete hick on camera. B, if you're reading this please don't stop letting them interview you! You might be discovered one day! You could be my ticket back to LA! Love you!

Fayetteville Shower
On January 8th our sweet friends hosted a couples shower for us at the Springdale Country Club. It was so much fun! I didn't want the night to end. In fact, we basically stayed until they kicked us out! The babies received such great gifts and everyone had a lot of fun! Maybe I should have one more baby so we can do it again! I'm just joking! I had 130 pictures from that night (thanks Sarah!). These are a few of my favorites! Thanks again to everyone that hosted! We love you all!

One is silver and the other gold.
I really hate to brag but Brandon and I really do have the best friends you could ask for. We are so lucky! More than anything, I hope our babies will be lucky enough to have friends like ours. I feel like I should give quick thank you's to a few people. They are always the last people I send thank you notes to because I know they won't judge me if they are a year late.
Sarah, thanks for steam cleaning all of my floors, taking pictures at my showers, poofing my hair, and talking me out of killing Brandon when he drives me crazy, because the babies need a father. I know B appreciates that too.
Olivia, thanks for being my personal shopper! The blankets were a hit. I wish you could have been there! Also, thanks for playing nurse that night you gave me my shot! I'm sure the babies appreciated that too! Now hurry and move home!
Beth Anne, thank you for being my unofficial obgyn. Feel free to start charging me for your services. Are you sure you don't want to fly down to give me my epidural? I would feel so much better if you did it! You need to hurry and move home too! Oh, and have a baby!
Emily, thanks for being my most creative friend. I love stealing all of your ideas and pretending they are my own. The babies would not have a nursery without you! Apologize to your boss for me. I know my midday calls must distract you from your work!
Ben, thanks for being our handyman. B is lucky to have a handy friend because handy he is not. Also, thank you for always cleaning my kitchen when B makes huge messes.
Leslie, thanks for organizing such a fun shower. You went above and beyond. We had such a good time! Also, thanks for having Madeline and giving Ava a bff!
Clint, thanks for helping B tear out cabinets and put together cribs and bookshelves. You should really charge him for that!
Bethany, thank you for all of the mommy advice and for introducing me to Zulily. My bank account thanks you too. I'm going to put you on speed dial when the babies are here.
Lauren, thank you for being my nanny and Chik-fil-A fairy. Your visits have kept me from going completely insane in this apartment.
Karrie, thank you for keeping me up to date on gossip and for all the fun date nights. You're way more fun than B! Also, thanks for selling fireworks with me and making me rich.
Carol-thanks for hunting with B so I don't have to, reading all of the baby books so I don't have to, taking charge of the babies education so they will be smart like you, clothing my kids for the first year of their life, and basically being my personal slave for the past 9 months.
Courtney, Bethany, Alicia, Sarah, Allison, Jessica, Leigh, Melissa, Hillary, Leslie, Stephanie, Kristin, and Lindsay, thank you for giving Ava, Brooks, and Knox friends before they are even born!

Fort Smith Shower
Cindy and Judi hosted such a cute shower for me on January 13th. They are so sweet and so creative! They really went all out on the cute decorations! The food was delicious too! The babies definitely got a little sugar rush that night! Ava, Brooks, and Knox are lucky babies!
Isn't Cali a cutie? I wish I looked that cute when I was in Jr High! I think my cutest outfit was stonewashed Gap jeans and loafers!



I really loved everything we received! Ava, got the cutest red tutu! I can't wait to take her to her first Razorback game! Maggie, Emily, and Laquita, thanks for the little Burberry socks! I can't wait for the babies to wear them!

I really hope I have at least one little tan Greek baby like Nini! Although, they might all come out slightly orange/tan from all of the self tanner I have been using! My mom had a dream they all had big blue eyes! I would love that too! I think in her dream they came out as toddlers...hmmm Maybe I will get my chubby babies after all!



This picture makes me laugh! I really thought I couldn't get much bigger... Boy was I wrong!


How cute is this? Why can't I be creative? Cindy and Judi, I'm going to need some help planning the babies first Birthday party!

Kathy and Heather drove all the way from Dumas for the shower! I'm so glad y'all were able to make it!

Dumas Shower
Brandon's aunts and cousins hosted a shower for the trips on January 30th. I wasn't allowed to leave Fayetteville so Brandon and Caroline took my place! From what I heard Brandon did a great job opening gifts! Everything looked so cute and fun! I would have loved to be there! These babies are lucky to have so many people that care about them!!! They are already so spoiled! Thanks to all the hostesses! Also, thanks Sarah for taking pictures for me! I love them all!
Caroline is my official note taker! She wrote down all the gifts I received at all the showers and then organized them into a spreadsheet! She's lucky she has terrible handwritting or I would have made her help me write a few thank you notes!

I wish I could have been there!


I think B is finally learning what all the baby gifts are and what they are used for! At our first shower he looked a little confused as he opened gifts. I can't wait until the babies are here to use all of their new things. The clothes are so tiny! It's hard to imagine having babies that small. It's crazy to think that I will be lucky if they weigh four pounds!

The cupcakes were so freaking cute! They were very tasty too! B was nice enough to bring me a few!

Beer Belly

B and I are big on nicknames. Our poor dogs have about a hundred different names each. I call him B. I'm not sure why or when I even started doing that. It's not like it takes that much time to write or say Brandon. Since I've been pregnant he has started calling me "momma" which basically makes my skin crawl. My name will be mom or mommy. Never momma. It might be the way he says it that drives me crazy too. He tells me he is going to make our kids call me that. I tell him if our kids call me that they will be grounded until they stop! I will win this fight! He also calls me beer belly. This is really embarrassing when he does it in public because until recently this huge stomach might have passed for a beer belly. He even throws in a "beer belly, you need to lay off the Busch" every once in a while! One day I picked up his phone and he had a text that said "Call me tomorrow, oh and tell Beer Belly hi for me' This was from someone that we work with. Not a liquor store college boy, a grown man that we see maybe 3 times a year. How many people refer to me as beer belly now??? I'm really afraid to ask. The scary thing is this "beer belly" isn't going anywhere for a while! I would love to think that once the kids are out my stomach will immediately shrink, but I'm not naive and I know that is not going to be the case! If this name sticks B is in serious trouble!
I didn't grow this beer belly without a little help from my family though! I need to give a shout out to my mom and dad for basically being my personal chefs! Our refrigerator has been stocked for weeks! Now that I am in Little Rock Caroline and Mrs Kathy have made sure the babies are being fed!! Mrs. Kathy, the casseroles are delicious. Caroline, thank you for the constant supply of Easter candy, Life Cereal, and for serving my food on a tray. I feel like a princess. Oh and I cannot forget the Chik-fil-a fairy Lauren. Caroline gave you that name btw! The Chicken Mini's and waffle fries hit the spot. When the babies are eighteen and I have time to cook again I will have you all over for dinner! I promise.
Just call me Kate Gosselin..
Dear TLC,
I'm huge. I would appreciate a free tummy tuck. I will make Brandon wear Ed Hardy and I will chop my hair off if that means you will give me free plastic surgery. I'm definitely going to need it!
