Hi World! Our little Julia trying to keep those eyes open.

Daddy and Julia, that little hat is so cute!

Our sweet sweet Julia! Just looking at my new little baby girl in recovery. It was an amazing experience. So calm, so much love for our baby girl.

Getting ready for the c section

Before heading to the hospital, Brent took a picture! Look at that belly!

It went to the doctor for my routine 38 week appointment. I took Elizabeth to Hobby Horse to fill out paperwork for preschool and we stopped at the library. Elizabeth came along to see her new baby sister at the doctor. I was explaining to the doctor how I have been swelling(it was incredibly hot over Memorial day) and occassionally I see stars. At the mention of stars Elizabeth started singing twinkle twinkle little start! We both laughed! So my blood pressure was very high. They took it again at the end of the apointment and it was increedibly high. He told me to drop my daughter off and go to the hospital! Yikes! Anna was home with a 103 fever. Brent called his father and came to the hospital with me. My mom and dad came, my mother-in-laws, my sister and my brother all before the c section! Julia was born May 31, 2011! She was 6 lbs. 2 oz, 18 inches long. She was a little tiny peanut. And she is beautiful and healthy! We love her so much!

Easter with the Baxters!

E bunny brought E Mae a Dora Umbrella that is just what she wanted! She loves that thing, this rainy spring has been no problem for this 3 year old. Neighbor lady and Cole

Anna loved the candy in the eggs... she is eating something already.

We went to another Easter Egg hunt with the Baxter's church, E wanted a ladybug painted on her check. She was so proud of it! And it was pink, even more perfect!





Our family

Laura and I at the hunt

Cole, E and Anna all "hunted" for eggs in the same area, Lane had his own "big kid" hunt. It was fun, E found the eggs and shared them with Anna....A may have found one egg.

We left our house early in the morning and drove about 10 hours before stopping at an Embassy Suits to rest. The girls were so excited to get out of the van...and even better were the ducks in the lobby of the hotel. This picture pretty much says it all!!

Happy Anna Kate

We came home from church and Anna was just the happiest little one and half year old ever. The picure pretty much says it all!

Easter

Kelly, Jason and Aubrey. Grandma and Grandpa came over to celebrate Easter a little early. The girls had a great time playing upstairs and in the new basement! Anna was trying to make funny faces just like her older sister!

So Elizabeth is singing into the toilet paper roll holder, Aubrey is dancing!

All three girls getting ready for Turkey!

Breakfast with the Bunny

Our Moms Club has planned a fundraiser for a park in town to replace the equipment. Here are our little girls dressed to see the Easter Bunny. It was a huge success and a lot of fun! Stace and I took tickets at the door, we were a great team!

Here I am with our girls, Brent could not be there this year.

Tutu came along to see the Easter Bunny and bring the girls! It was a very fun day!

Projects

This winter we have done tons of projects to our home. We finished the basement and made room for our newest little Julia. Anna is enjoying the outside with Mama while Brent and Elizabeth paint our new mudroom. E was pumped for her new little roller painter brush.

We are almost ready for her to arrive! We can't wait!

Browns Fly by!

Brent was the flight lead for the Cleveland Browns game before Veteran's Day. It was a beautiful day, Mary and I went up to our seats and waited and waited for the pregame to begin. There he is, the first F-16 in the pack. It was perfect timing.....the National Anthem sang..."and the home of the vroooooooom (the sound of F-16s) brave. It was awesome! We were so proud.

And the cutest part of the entire day, Brent flew over the neighborhood on the way to the game. Elizabeth my mom and Anna went outside to see the jets, When Brent got home, Elizabeth asked if he saw them waving in the yard, he said yes!

Tibby turns 3

We celebrated the girls Birthday together with our family. On their birthday we had a special dinner, Anna had spaghetti for her first birthday. Elizabeth requested pancakes and pudding. So that is exactly what we had! She helped make it all, stirring the pancake batter and shaking the pudding!

One very happy 3 year old!

Elizabeth loves frogs! Loves them! So on the morning of her birthday we had several frogs with bows scattered around the house for her to find! She was so excited when she opened up her door to come out for the morning and found a little frog waiting for her with a bow!
