Its official

Its official...my baby sister is getting married!! i cant even tell you all how excited i am for her! He asked her in our driveway, really late at night. right after they went to my moms house and then came back where we played a card game til 3 or so in the morning! It was just a fun night! The next day she came over to ask if the girls wanted to be flower girls and Ayden will be the ring bearer. They have a date set for October 8, 2011. Both of them will have to take some more classes for their careers, so they didnt want extra pressure during that time. I cant wait to see what and how i can help, I love wedding planning!!

Elaine and Tim

Our good friend Elaine got married this past August. She was so beautiful, and looked like Cinderella the girls said! I took the girls with me to the ceremony, then just took Ayden to the reception! We had such a great time! Congrats guys, hope to see you again soon

current pictures

Hey guys! sorry things have been pretty crazy here. I havent gotten a chanc to post for a few months! These are just the most recent pictures of the kids from just a few weeks ago. Ayden is 6 months old now., and rolling over like crazy! He is starting teething and loves to chew his fingers, way too much! But we love him and i wouldn't have it any other way! Lilly is in her second year at preschool, which just started 3 days ago and so far she loves it! Paige is our tiny girl, who goes from sweet, lovey baby, to screaming and soo dramatic! But she keeps us very entertained....!

Ayden 4 months old

Praise God for another healthy baby! Ayden had his 4 mo appointment he is 14# and 24" long. After the dr we got lunch and drove to a nearby park to eat then have fun. Then park was not age appropriate for the girls, and bc it was so hot the slides were very hot as well! So we just planned on going home to swim. We got to the car and couldnt get in...i locked the van with the keys still inside!!! I called our roadside asstiance and they said they would be there as soon as possible. So i was sweating and keeping the kids out of the sun as much as
possible when i decided to walk around the van to check all doors to see if they were really all locked. At last lilly's door was open, i called to cancel the service and on our way we went. Thank you God!

Happy fathers day ! This year the girls got daddy a ped egg, and a picture holder that says dad for his desk at work. After church we headed to my parents house for dinner, we had hot dogs, and burgers, baked beans, corn, watermelon, strawberry shortcake, and marshmallows.

VBS 2009

We signed the girls up this year for VBS at our church. Liuckily they let Lilly in, they started at age 4 and up. Lilly would have been 4 in just 15 days, they were nice enough to say she will be ok. The theme this year was upward bound journey, all the kids wore bandanas, and carried bookbags, like small hikers. it was really cute! They sang songs, had crafts, and of course "camp fire snacks". Paige was in the mini VBS, where they mostly played, sang songs and had snacks. I signed up to help with the mini bc our church is about 25 minutes from our house, so by the time we would get there, drop off the kids, get home, unpack it would be time to go back. Plus i was put i the nursery with Ayden, so we had the quietest room in the whole church. very tired, quiet babies! Ayden learned how to roll to his right side there too! While i was in the nursery, i had a chance to leave my mark on the church by redecorating the nursing room. Before it was just a room with about 12 rocking chairs tightly butted together, so you couldnt even rock. And depending on how things were going that dy, it was either very dark or all the celing lights were on. then they only had 2 cribs, right in front of the chairs for sleeping babies. So sometimes there were babies in there staring at you while you tred to feed your baby. The other 4 cribs were used for storage, or lost and found. It was a mess!! So i got the chance to go to target while VBS was going on and i bought 2 end tables, 2 table lamps, breast pads, and we took out about 6 rocking chairs, most of them were broken. its is so relaxing now! it feels like a living room where you can just chat with your girlfriends and actually see people face to face. I will have to get pictures so you can see the difference! it was a very fun week, and i cant wait for next year!
