Front porch sittin'

We were sitting on the front porch and I held the blanket up to keep the sun off of Amelia. When I looked down, the sun was shining through the pink blanket and it made Amelia's skin glow.



This is a picture Kaylee took of emry when we first got to her house, emry is asking grandma, "Where's grandpa?"

fun kids are having by how dirty they get. These girls were definatly having FUN!!

Pictures of perfect smiles















Amelia has turned into quite the chatterbox. She smiles, talks and blows bubbles, all at the same time.














Amelia's eyelashes have grown 1/2 an inch in the past 2 weeks. They are long, thick and dark. BEAUTIFUL!!!

Proud Moments

I was reading my friend Tonya's blog the other day. She had written about a few of her embarrassing moments in life. They were so cute, I laughed as I could picture her going through them all. It got me to thinking of a few of the less proud moments of my life and thought I would share just a couple.

1. When I was in junior high I watched the movie "The Stand" with my mom, dad and sister. If you have never seen or heard of it, it is a Stephen King movie about a virus that gets loose from the government and kills about 70-80% of the worlds population. Well after the movie was over I turned to my dad and asked him if the movie was based on a true story. I know the question had to have sounded more intelligent in my head.

2. In college I went on a date with a boy and he had taken me to the park to have a picnic after church. We were flirting and he started to chase me so I grabbed the blanket that we were having the picnic on , wrapped it around my shoulders and started to run. All of a sudden he wasn't playful anymore and he yelled for me to stop. It was then that I realized that my nice long skirt had gotten caught up in the blanket and the back of it was up around my shoulders. I wanted to DIE!

3. When I was in about 5th grade I was in a family theatre play called "hagar the horrible". I had the part of a peasant. When we all had to get up and announce to the group our roles in the play I got so nervous that I told everyone that I was playing to part of a pheasant. I honestly didn't know what a peasant or a pheasant was.

4. Just this last Christmas Michaels family had a party at his sisters house where santa clause came to visit all of the children. Well somebody was video taping everything and set down the camera but did not turn it off. You can imagine my horror when the grandkids were watching the video one evening and I saw that I had stepped in front of the camera for about 10 minutes. It was not a pretty sight seeing my bum cover Matthew and Kaylees huge T.V. screen. It didn't help that I was 8 months pregnant at the time either.

I would love to hear some of your "Proud Moments."

Happy Girl










Last weekend the girls and I went up to Matthew and Kaylees' to play while Michael worked on homework all day. Poor Michael: ( I planned on only staying there for about an hour, but we were having so much fun with everyone we didn't end up going until about 5 hours later. That is usually what happens: ) Kaylee and everyone at the house watched the girls for me while I went and to get the oil changed in the car. I came back and Kaylee had taken all of these pictures of Amelia. I love them! She doese such a great job. It has been so much fun since amelia has started to smile a couple of weeks ago. She is such a happy, sweet baby.

Happy Birthday Avey!!!







Avey I remember the day you were born. Your mom called me and said you were coming soon, so Michael and I hopped in the car and raced to the Hutchinson. You were such a beautiful baby! It was love at first sight for all of us. Now I can't believe you are already 6 years old! You are such an amazing little girl with a special sparkle in your eyes. Thank-you making me laugh and cheering me up so many times. I love you. Happy Birthday! Love, Aunt Erin
