I slept like a rock last night...only to wake up feeling like I hadn't slept at all. I hate that feeling. Jackson woke me about 7:40, he was knocking on his door. I love it! He gets up and out of bed and lightly knocks on his door until someone comes and lets him out. Then he walks down the hall yelling for Ella, goes potty, and then goes to the fridge for his milk. He wakes up in the best mood...no matter how I feel he makes me smile. So this morning when I wish I could have climbed back in bed, instead I got to snuggle in "the chair" and watch Imagination Movers with my buddy. It really doesn't get much better than that...well maybe Peter joining us BUT we would have to buy a bigger chair!
We have had a pretty lazy day. I needed to clean the bathrooms and mop the floors but I never made it to that. I did get the cookie bouquets delivered and the lasagna made to go in the oven for dinner. Let me just tell you that Peter is very excited to have Italian again! Well, actually he isn't. But I can't help it...that is all I want when I'm pregnant! I could eat Italian everyday, but for some reason Peter is sick of it! The other thing that I eat everyday- cereal! I'm consuming more milk right now than I think I ever have. I have 2-3 cups at breakfast and then a bowl of cereal and then sometimes before I go to bed I will have some more milk! Nuts!!!! That is what it is because normally I don't care for milk out of a glass...unless I'm having a big breakfast then I will drink some. Obviously, Karis needs calcium!
Anyway, I'm now sitting in the chair with my feet up watching this new show I have found called, Rachel Zoe. Yes, I'm being lazy and a part of me is feeling so guilty but the other part of me can't make myself get up and do something. So I continue to sit!
I was going to report that Peter said the boys are doing well with what was introduced yesterday. There is more to learn today so hopefully they will catch on quickly! Friday will be here before we know it!
Tomorrow Jackson and I will be in Abilene. I have PT for the first time in several weeks. I'm a little concerned with what she is going to say, but over all I have been feeling good. As long as I'm exercising and doing my stretches! So until another post...

Go Bucks!
Football started this past week! We began on Thursday night. Jackson and I didn't make it to the JV white game, but when we got there for the JV green game the stands were full of people! The boys were already out on the field and kick off started at 7:00! They did awesome...they played like athletes and it was a great victory. After the game it was so fun to watch the parents come and congratulate the players but also the coaches! I was also informed at the end of the game that there were more people there that night than there every was for a Varsity game...WOW! Sad and exciting all at the same time!
I was so anxious on Friday...the day seemed to creep by. Finally, we got in the car to head to the game. We had to stop for some food in Abilene and then of course I would take the road the wrong way to get to the game. So after turning around and retracing my path we were on the way...I was so mad at myself for normally I am not one to get turned around! We pulled up right at 7:30, there was a HUGE line to get into the stands and all I keep thinking was that I could not hold Jackson and stand in this line. Thank goodness since we had passes we got to go on in! We get around to our side of the stands and there are no seats...well I say no seats...we did find seats but we were packed in like sardines! It was so fun! The game was close, tied at half, and then in the 3rd quarter Jim Ned was up 13-7. Man it was intense. 4th quarter hit and we had to score! Let me just tell you that this is when I became of the most proud...it seemed like the other team just hit a wall. They were turning the ball over, not moving quickly, and then there are our bucks playing just as hard if not harder and driving this team into the ground! Whoever wants to argue that conditioning does not go hand in hand with football...well they would lose that argument after watching this! WE WON!!!! 35- 13...I think that was the final score!
It was amazing and such a blessing to watch the fans and the players as they had just won there first game of the season! Those boys have worked so hard and have come so far...and they wanted it so bad! I know that this is just the beginning and we have so much more to go, but it just blesses my heart that God is faithful in the little things. As the boys and coaches came off the field they seemed to be in shock. Peter just kept saying that I can't believe we beat them by that much...haha it was great!
So another week has begun and this game should be just as interesting as last week. The coaches have spent many hours already getting ready for this game and now it is the boys turn to practice hard! Praying against any pride that would make them fall, but for confidence and great attitudes!
I have been baking most of the day. I made banana bread this morning, had 6 bananas going bad and had to do something with them! Breakfast for Friday morning is made. I also worked on cookies for a couple of cookie bouquets, planning on taking those to the admin office and high school office tomorrow. Gotta gets those out there for people to see and hoping for orders soon! I hate starting from the beginning with the cookie business, I had just gotten things rolling in Belton before we left, but hopefully it won't take to long!
Jackson's potty training is going better than expected. He is wearing underwear when at home and diapers when we go out. As soon as we are out of these diapers we will move on to pull-ups. He is still having a few accidents during the day, but I never thought we would be doing this well by Sept. I think by December he will be a pro, just in time to start buying diapers for Karis! He is a busy boy! Always going and doing! He has started wanting to help me when I'm in the kitchen, he stands on the step stool and is my spoon licker...he can sure get those spoons clean when they come out of the batter! He is my joy! I'm so blessed to get to stay home with him!

Football Season!
Well, we have begun! Football 2010 has started...well it started on Monday. It has been an exciting week for all the coaches and players. The weather has stepped up to the plate as well, we really have had a mild summer so far BUT as soon as Monday got here we hit triple digits! It has been in the 100's everyday this week! But that hasn't stopped anyone, players and coaches have still been working hard. They are drained though when everything is over at the end of the day!
The coaches have been quite spoiled...they have had breakfast everyone morning this week. And I should add that it is a homemade breakfast. All the coaches wives have stepped it up and have been making breakfast. I do have to say we have great wives!!!! So far this week the coaches have had eggs and sausage twice, cinnamon rolls, kolaches, and something yummy this morning that I haven't heard about yet! And this will continue on through next week too...like I said SPOILED!
This morning is the first morning that the boys will put on pads. So of course Jackson and I have to go check it out! After there hard workout this morning they get to go to the city pool to do their conditioning and to cool down after their hard practice! Will have more to report on this matter later!
On a different note, if you have not heard The Medlock Family is having a girl! Karis Ann Medlock will be here sometime mid December. We are very excited and it will be here before we know it because of football season. I haven't really started planning to much for the nursery...I know the colors that I want to use but just have to find what I'm wanting. I'm not doing a theme like I did for Jackson, just pretty girly colors! Jackson is going to be a great big brother, although he has no idea what it going on. I ask him where the baby is and sometimes he pats my tummy and sometimes its a little higher up...if you know what I mean!
Well, it is a short blog but wanted to touch base. Have to go get us both dressed to head to the field.
Have a wonderful day!

4 months later!
Well, it has been exactly 4 months since my last post! So much has gone on in those 4 months it's hard to know where to start. I will try to start where we left off. We moved to Breckenridge the weekend of Feb 28th. Like I mentioned before we moved into an rv that peters grandparents allowed us to borrow. Peter and I thought we would be there about a month, enough time to close on a home. We felt sure we would find something right away...well we didn't! A few weeks went by and we finally found a home and started a contract. That was a headache all in itself, you find out real quick who to use and trust and who not too! Finally, at the beginning of May we closed on the home!
April came with new surprises! A baby....yes we are having our second child in December! It was a huge surprise that caused tears of shock and then tears of joy. We are anxious to see what our new blessing will be and will find out July 26th! Being pregnant and having a one year old is an adventure all in itself!
The stay in the rv started to get interesting! Jackson started walking very well in April and was on the move all the time! So keeping him in the rv was beginning to get tricky! Then the fridge started to go out on the rv, which we found out was not cheap to fix! So by the beginning of May I was starting to go a little crazy. I didn't feel well because of the pregnancy, I had a confined one yr old, and it felt like the rv was falling apart....I know this sounds a bit dramatic but I being honest! With that being said the last 2 weeks I ended up at my parents because I just couldn't do it anymore (oh and to add to the list the air conditioner couldn't keep the rv cool because it was so hot outside!) after the 2 weeks it was finally time to move into the house!
Oh man,buying a house is a whole new adventure, or should I say a costly adventure! Before we moved furniture Peter, my dad, and I painted, ripped up carpet, put down flooring, and other odds and ends! Then came the furniture and boxes, which brought with it unpacking and finding a new home for all this stuff! With the help of my parents we got a great start, although I'm still working on getting everything in it's own spot! I love having a home! I love my garage, my backyard, my flower bed, my kitchen, my dishwasher, I just love my house and living in an rv for a long amount of time make you appreciate everything you have!
The rv is parked beside our home and is a daily reminder of how much of a blessing it was in our lives! Without that rv our family would have been apart for 3 months, we probably would not be expecting another blessing, and Peter would have missed so much of jacksons changes. We are truly greatful for the rv, even though it was luxury for 3 months. It really put things in perspective for me. I really can live without alot of things that I have and also just how God takes care of you and provides even if it's not exactly what or how you would have chosen. I'm so thankful for the time in the rv and what it has taught me and how it has made me more of who I am! Well, I know there's more to tell but I have to jump up and go fix dinner. We are having chicken tetrazzini with veggies and fruit. I'm starving!

Our New Home
Well, it is late so this will be short, but I wanted to let everyone know that we are safe and sound in Breckenridge.
After moving and unloading for a total of 15 hrs yesterday we are now settled in the RV. It is quite cozy!
Tomorrow starts the next to-do list...switching banks, car insurance, etc. Oh, and trying to find a house. I'm hoping to get to mark that one off the list sooner than later....but we are making the best of the RV because we don't just want to settle on just any house!
Please continue to pray for us as we are settling in!
Love you all!

A New Adventure
Hello!
I'm so sorry that I have not posted in such a long time! It has been a bit crazy and I have some exciting news to share...We are MOVING! When, where, and why....at the end of February, to Breckenridge, TX, and because Peter got a job promotion. Peter will be the new O-line coach, district wide strength and conditioning coach, and assistant track coach. He will be working under Coach Freeman...who was his head coach at Brownwood when he played ball. He has always wanted to work for Steve and we are excited that he finally has the chance to do so! We know that this is all part of God's plan for our family and we are excited to see what He has in store for us!
Ok...now for some details on where we will be living once we get to Breckenridge. I know that you will all be jealous...we are going to be living in an RV! I know what most of you are thinking...you have to be crazy...BUT actually it is a huge blessing. Peter's grandparents allowed us to use the RV as long as we need. If we didn't have the RV to live in that would mean that Peter would have to be in Breckenridge and Jackson and I would have to be here in Belton. We could live apart and make it work, but it is very hard. This week Peter has been gone since Tuesday afternoon and I'm so ready for him to be home. It is hard to be at home all day with Jackson and then all night, and then waking up and doing it all over again...and then there is no one to talk to because Jackson doesn't communicate quit as well as Peter. So, the RV is a HUGE blessing because it will allow us to be together as a family!
We are in the process of looking for a home. At this time in Breckenridge there are 2 homes that are in our price range. So, we are going to look at both homes again this weekend with our parents to get there opinions and then hopefully things will start moving in a direction where we can purchase a home! I will have more details as we get them!
Packing, packing, packing! That is all I'm doing...well that is how it feels. I have made pretty good progress. I have just about every room done except for our bedroom/bathroom. It is a little bit hard, because some things have to come to the RV with us and then everything else will go to a storage building until we find a permanent home. Our apartment right now is filled with tubes and boxes...a little messy but I keep telling myself that it is only for a short time! Hopefully the next two days I have everything pretty much done, so that next week I can do anything else that I suddenly think of and start the cleaning processes.
Please pray for Peter and I to continue to be wise in the decisions that we make. And most of all the God continues to guide us on this new adventure!

Trusting
Jackson and Adia getting ready for a walk!I hope this message finds everyone enjoying the start of their weekend! Well, this morning when Jackson woke up his toe looked bad, it started to look bad last night, buy I thought after 10hrs of him not moving around it would be better. But it wasn't. We went in as soon as I could get both babies ready and out of the house! The Dr. looked at it and he left the room to make arrangements for Jackson to have his toe all better.
This is the plan for the am: We go in at 7:00 am and Jackson will be taken back and everything will start at 8. They will put him under and the Dr. will pull back the skin and see if there is something around his toe. If there is, he will cut whatever is there and that will be that. If there is nothing there, that means that he has the genetic disorder where the skin makes a band around his toe. If that is the case then the Dr. will do a small surgery to release the band and stretch the skin back out. I really don't understand how it all works, but I'm not the one who went to school for years to learn about all this! I have complete trust in the Dr., I know that God is going to work through him tomorrow. God is in control!
Please pray that everything goes smoothly. I will update as soon as possible! Thank you for all your prayers!
