Happy St. Patrick's day 2012

The kids are decked out in their St. Patti's day gear. Yet we are stuck in the house. Sick again :( Hopefully on the mend though. My sweet amazing and loving mom came and spend 3 full days here morning noon and night helping take care of two very sick kids. The fevers lasted 5 days and there were lots of sad little sickly faces in our home. Thank the lord its almost past.

On a lighter note, a week ago my sweet neice Natalie turned 4 years old. I'm posting pics from her party as well as some st. Patti's day pics.

Hope your all having a great weekend.

Blakely Ann 10 months already.

I can't believe our Blakely is 10 months old already.

Blake you are such a loving sweet girl.
Two weeks ago you took your first steps. You are growing so quickly before our eyes.
We could not feel more blessed to have you in our lives. You are saying mama and dada, you shake your head yes and no in response to us when we ask you questions. You are so smart and silly and truly you are the sweetest baby girl I've ever known. You are even tempered and happy and cuddly.

We are so in love with you!

Awe my adorable sweet and tiny's

Sometimes I just sit back and bask in the happiness of my beautiful children. I mean truly, they are the true meaning of happiness. They are always smiling and laughing and enjoying life. What beautiful blessings they are. Cooper is so sweet and loving, he makes us laugh daily. He is our little commedian, you never know what kind of hilarious sarcastic thing he might say next. Blakely is as sweet as they come, and so cuddly and loving as well. She is getting so big so fast. She took her first real steps on Sunday March 4th. 8 good steps in a row. We were so excited for her.
THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN!




Crazy hair, hats and sock day at school.

Shannon's baby shower

One of my closest friends Shannon is having a baby boy very soon. His name will be Brady. This past weekend Myself and three of Shannon's closest friends and her sister threw a baby shower for her. We did a couples shower. It was in the evening and it ended up being so much fun. The guys played poker (they had to buy in with a pack of diapers). Shannon was able to get tons of diapers for Mr. Brady. All of us girls sat and watched her open gifts. We played The price is right with baby items, We played the game where you put the baby in ice cubes and whoevers baby breaks free first yells "My water broke" and they win :) We also played a fun game where you match up candy names to other random things that sound like that candy.
I think everyone had a good time.

I do want to ask for a special prayer from all of you. Shannon (the one we had the shower for), she went into early labor last week. They were able to stop the contractions by giving her a shot at first, but then they started back up. They then tried some intravenous drugs that did stop them. She's been sick off and on this past week and although she is no longer on bed rest was told she may or may not make it another 3 weeks or so. She was 34 weeks when she went into early labor. So its not too terribly early but still. Please keep Shannon and baby Brady in your prayers for a safe and healthy delivery.
