2 Years Ago...

2 years ago it was 2010. 2 years ago we got  phone call saying my older sister was in the hospital. I packed up my Sweet Girl and my Hubby and went to visit. While we waited, not so patiently, in the waiting room, Angie was in her room... in labor.

2 years ago we met Lila Ann!

We were all excited to meet her, and my Sweet Girl just wanted to play with her cousin! Every day since then it has been heartwarming to hear stories of how Lila is growing up. It is awesome to watch the 2 cousins playing together. It is wonderful to think that Adelle will grow up with Lila as her cousin and her friend.




Happy Birthday, Lila! You are getting to be such a big girl! We love you very much and are blessed to be able to celebrate this happy day with you!!

Our Big Girl!

Even though it happened earlier this month, our beautiful little girl turned two. I can't believe how fast the time has gone, how big she's gotten, or even how much she's learned! There is something new every day and I love being a part of it all.

She loves watching movies, reading books, listening to music, singing, playing with cars, playing kitchen, playing dolls, building things, going to the zoo, and being fabulous!

One moment she won't get out of her pj's and another she won't leave the house without her 'princess skirt' or her Ruby Slippers.

She loves fruits and veggies (thank goodness) as well as the occasional sweet. While blueberries disappear by the bowlful, she also really likes strawberries, oranges, cherries,  and bananas. If she sees bread on the counter, she will ask for a piece of that to snack on. She drinks everything from water to prune juice.

I love the little phrases she says, too. 'Wait. Stop it!!' 'I do it!' 'Mommy/Daddy, help!' There are others, but these are my favorite.

Anyway, my Sweet Girl is two (already) and I've loved every moment of my time with her!

Here are some pictures from her actual birthday. We blew up balloons and covered her floor with them. After she woke up, we put them in her crib to play with them. What a blast!









Here are the pictures from her birthday party. She didn't blow out the candle right away, but it was adorable!  By the end of the day she was all tuckered out!













I love you!

Birthdays Galore!

January is an exhausting month.

We end the year with Christmas and start the year with not one, not two, but 5 birthdays! 5 in our immediate family anyway! Can you even believe it?! It's emotionally, physically, and monetarily exhausting. I love this month and that we are able to celebrate so many milestones with our family - we are truly blessed!

Here is a list of SOME of the people who have a birthday in January: Adelle, Me, Aunt Linda, Liz and David, Kara, Halle, Bruce, Michelle, Dottie, Angie, Zoe, and Zack (the dog). There are more too! Well, we know what people were doing in April :)

Anyway, I wanted to wish everyone with a January birthday a very happy and joyous day!

Adelle Turns 1!

We can't believe our Sweet Girl is 1 already! She is getting SO big!! We went to the doctor today and she is 2ft 6 1/4in tall, she DEFINITELY doesn't get that from me, and is 18lbs 15oz. She is eating lots of veggies, some fruits and meats, but she LOVES spaghetti, something she DEFINITELY gets from me! :)

Here are some pictures from her first birthday. We celebrated on Sunday, her actual birthday, with our family! Bruce and Sharon, John and Dottie, Angie, Dale and Lila, Maria, Becky, Pat and Zoe, and Ben and Melissa. We were just missing Great Grandma Dolores, and Danielle, Mike, Isabelle and Gabe but we celebrated with them a few days earlier. It was so much fun!!

Here are some pictures:
