So very true....

She's fired!

Ok so here's the deal everytime I ask Keek to take a pic with my camera I get some crazy photo of me with my kids. Now when I take pics of her with her kids I get her something nice. Let me show just one example of what I'm talking about...

Keek and Anthony's "moon" pic

now all I wanted was a pic with Austin and I and "our moon pic" and here's what I got...

I guess I'll just settle for a pic of the moon and just pretend we're in it

and just for good measure here's yet another family pic for her and I won't even bother to post mine she took for me :)
It's alright Keek I luv ya..but you're still fired!!

Her 1st sink bath...

and she loved it...

uh-oh...
she wasn't to sure about that...
a quick recovery...
love the eyes...

I don't think I'll ever be able to say no..

Hmm..Let me think, maybe if I do something really cute

"Please momma can I have those new pair of shoes that match my dress"

"Yep I think that did the trick"

Sweetness..

Some "swimming"

Some Sharing
Some SO BIGS!!
Some Snuggling
Some swimming pool closing
Some sippies

Some snacktime
Some silly faces

and some pure baby sweetness...

It has been a busy, busy time here at my house with 4 under 2!! It has been great though and I am so grateful that I had an opportunity to spend some time with my nephews. They are so sweet and I just love getting to know them. However, did you notice that I didn't include any pictures titled "some sleep"?

Sharing some favorites...

Remember when baths were this much fun...

And one of my most favorites:
"Did he just do what I think he did?"

A little piece of heaven..

Six months ago today a little piece of heaven was placed in my arms and my life hasn't been the same since. Please don't get me wrong I love my boys beyond words can express but having a little girl has been surreal. Her birth was so indescribably peaceful and 6 months later I believe I am still floating somewhere high above cloud 9. She is such a joy and I can't get enough of her. I actually did not get upset or cry until I put together her 6 month video and saw how much she has changed. It is just going by way to fast. My heart wants her to slow down but my mind is so very grateful that she is healthy and growing. If you have the time to watch here's my sweet growing girl...

The Fireman's Memorial

My sweet Travelers

Ever wonder why I don't have many pics of Austin?

That's better
The brick under the American Flag @ the fire training grounds
Sleeping in the canoe on the Asuabo River
I guess that's what he thought of canoeing..

My cutie @ the parade
Watching life flight
Who doesn't love waterball
Riding in life flight
Sitting in the Antique Firetruck- Jake loved the windup horn


Ellie and daddy at the parade

Umm.. Sorry husband I don't think so
The back of the shirts we had made
"Sissy you see the backi's"
The parade- Jake was in heaven- firetrucks as far as the eye could see

At the memorial site

Don's dad's name was placed on this statue (only line of duty deaths are placed here)

Firemen who served and passed away are placed on the wall

"Gaubee you see my backi"
