Wordless Saturday!

In Rememberance

The Future Memorial for 9/11

It is so hard to believe that it has been 8 years since one of the most horrific events in our countrys history. I hate to admit that it was only when I was listening to the radio this morning did I remember that it was indeed September 11th. I then immediately thought about all of the people that lost their loved ones on this day 8 years ago and how I bet they would never forget this day in a million years. I was sad that I wasn't more conscious of today's date because I never want to forget what happened that day.

In memory of all the people that lost their lives today and all the soldiers that have lost their lives fighting to keep us safe. Keep their friends and familes in your prayers today.

Ann Mason 6 month Appt

With everything going on we just now made it to Ann Mason's 6 month appointment! Even though in just 6 short days she will already be 7 months old! I looked at her the other day and got tears in my eyes cause she is getting so big! I already want a 3rd....I know I am crazy! She is growing so fast and doing so many new things, such an exciting age! Here are some things Annie is doing right now!

* 16 pounds exactly (44% in weight)

*25 and 3/4 inches long (31% in height)

* 22% in head circumfrence (this is a far cry from your brother that has always been in the 97% for head!!! :)

* You are sitting up like a pro and love it!

* You are teething like a crazy person but still NO teeth! I wish they would just come thru to help you with the pain!

* You are still such a happy baby although the teeth are posing a big challenge for you right now. Tylenol and orajel seem to be our best friends right now!

* You can interact with Palmer and you want to steal his sippy cup all of the time. You know have your own sippy cup with water which you seem to love!

* You are SO interested in mommy and daddy's food and I hate to admit it but you LOVE pizza and I have fed it to you a few times :) Also you have tried mashed potatoes and you love to suck on pieces of fruit!

***You are such a joy and we are loving watching you grow and trying new things everyday. It won't be much longer until you are fully crawling! Watch out!

Random but Fun!

I know I am being a horrible blogger but I wanted to post pics but don't have a lot of free time right now! :) My wonderful husband and awesome sister surprised me with a birthday dinner with all of my friends Saturday night! It was such a nice "adult" night out and we had so much fun and laughed so hard! Thanks so much for all of my great friends who came, I had a blast!

The other pics in this collage are of my babies.... mostly from Cracker Barrell (Palmer loved the rocking chairs) and some from just playing around! I will definitely write more later! Happy Labor Day Weekend, enjoy your Monday off!

PS... If you click on the collage it will make it much bigger!

Busy, Busy!

Here are some pictures from our new house! We have been SO busy moving and setting stuff up! It is AWESOME and we love it here and are so thankful that we found this place. Living in the "country" isn't too bad either! haha We welcome visitors anytime!

PS... If you click on the collage it will make it bigger!!!

You Know Your 29 When....

You know your 29 when..... you buy new tires and a water pump for your mini van as your birthday present, get up and change diapers, make lunches, drop the kids off and go to work!!!! haha

I have to admit that I woke up feeling a little sorry for myself this morning on the day of my 29th birthday. The last few weeks have been tiring to say the least....

Then I started getting calls and messages from all my amazing friends and family and something clicked! Even though this actual day isn't probably how I would want to spend my birthday this past year as been one of the most amazing years of my life!

As I look back on my 28th year I realize that my life is exactly where I always hoped it would be. I was blessed to give birth to my gorgeous daughter this year, watched my ever-growing son turn 2, celebrated 5 years of marriage with my husband and made even more precious memories!

I hope that my 29th year gives me as much joy as this past year! Bye-Bye 28, Hello 29! My last 12 months of being a "twenty-something"!
