It was a beautiful day for a walk, Brent and my mom painted a wall in A's room a very pretty lilac and one of Elizabeth's pink walls a nice neutral tan to tone down the pink...it looks great!

E loves to push her loud loud shopping cart filled with all kinds of things she gets from the "store" which is any room in the house...in her cart is Elmo, some golf balls, fake food, mixing spoons...and whatever fun toy of Anna's!

E loves her little black shoes....she even slept in them this night...apparently Daddy put on her jammies!

Brent and I have had some fun dates....we are so lucky to have family close by to stay with the little darlings!

6 Months Already!

Captain Buster getting ready to go fly in Toledo. E looks up in the sky and says "Daddy flies F-sixteeeeeennssss"

Anna Kate has discovered her toes, I absolutely love this stage...she is just so cute...who likes to suck on their toes?! Sometimes when Elizabeth thinks I am not looking she tries to get Anna to suck on Elizabeth's toes! Gotta love a sister!

Just a quick nose pick...

E loves her sister! Anna loves her sister! No one can make Anna laugh as hard as Elizabeth. It is awesome to see them together!

Anna Kate at 6 months. She rolls all around and makes da da da sounds. We love to listen to her figure out new sounds. She is sleeping wonderfully and making our days happier!

Good Night

Tonight as I was tucking in sweet Elizabeth into her bed, we said a prayer, she holds my hands and we Thank God for our family, naming them one by one. So tonight as I finished saying the last family member, she said "someone else" so I said "who is that?" "Jonesie" she said!

5 Months little girl

Oh our sweet Anna Kate. She is so kissable. She is just 5 months and let tell you time flies...weew, I just can't belive it. I'm thankful for pictures cuz it is a total blur. Here she sits happily in her carseat ready to go wherever we are going to take her.... Happy Snow day...it is a blizzard outside so we are inside playing...happily of course...

Here is the reason for the happiness...carrots, peas and cereal. Oh yummy. This girl has been incredibly fussy (I almost wrote fuzzy...similar) so I took her to the doctor finally after too many fuzzy days (I am going to leave it as fuzzy cuz that is what they are fuzzy days) so we went to the doc and the doc said " well have you tried food" wooopsie. My poor little darling, ready for food, so simple. So she has tried peas and oh yummy, carrots today yummy two helpings and cereal of course. She is growing up....

The blizzard outside...and yes those still are Christmas lights....we just haven't had the extra energy to go outside and take those things down....honestly we don't plug them in. Oh no. So Brent tried to go to Toledo to Fly over the weekend...he was out on those terribly unplowed roads for too long and then came back...he couldn't even get in our short driveway. Luckily the plows came a few hours later and he could make it...

Elmo's Birthday

We had a little birthday party for our favorite furry friend Elmo! Who knows how old he is...apparently he is ageless. E and some friends came over to help us celebrate with cupcakes and some playtime!

Happy Birthday Mommy

I just had my 30th birthday! Yes it feels pretty good to be turdy. :) Brent and I went out to dinner with my brother and Stacey and had the most delicious dinner I think I have ever had. Or it was such a change to actually not have 2 other mouths to feed? It was wonderful and we could sit have a glass of wine and eat and have an entire conversation...it was wonderful. Pretty much the best birthday present ever. We had a delicious dinner the following day at my Mother-in-laws that was delicious too...then on my actual birthday we went to All Fired up here in town and E, A, my mom and I made this cool plate that I can't wait to pick up! Anna cried the entire hour and half while we were there? My mother deserves an award...but we did get the plate done, the only time Anna stopped crying was when we painted her feet for the prints? Here is our plate...I LOVE it! E Mae loved doing this! She kept saying "lady painted my hannnnds"

OK So who do you think put allllll that jelly on that tiny piece of toast? Not Mommy...
