One Happy Mama

I am one happy Mama! #1 because I love seeing Emma walk around. #2 Because Abigail is so sweet and helps her go down the two little steps in our entry and encourages her as she does it. One of the nice things about Emma walking is being able to go the park. I love that she can play with the 'big kids'. She has always loved the park and I've taken her and let her crawl around and play, but it really grossed me out how filthy her pants and hands would get. (Sorry, I'm just being honest! I try not to freak out about germs, but that's one place I do.) Anyway, she still gets dirty, but she's walking now and that brings me so much joy! Here are pictures from two different trips to the park since she became my big walking girl!

Girly Girls

My little girly girls! They are so cute. Tonight they wanted to dress up and spin around in their dresses. It was so adorable....So, of course, I had to get pictures! (Still figuring out how to use the fancy shmancy camera so some of the pictures aren't the best, but I'm learning.)

God Effect

Dave has just begun filming a Christian Internet TV series called 'God Effect'. They began filming Sunday night. My Mother-in-Law watched the girls for a bit while my Father-in-Law and I went over to watch the filming. I love being a part of Dave's projects. I was only able to stay for an hour, but it is always so fun to watch.

Here is a picture of Dave and his friend Tony setting up the first shot.

I also took a picture of the clap board before the 1st shot.


I'm so excited for this project. I've read the script for the first season and it's amazing! If you like suspenseful shows like 'Lost' then you will definitely like it. I'll keep you posted on the progress, but just remember video production is a very long process so it will be awhile before you get to see the first episode.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to my Valentine! I love my husband. I really do think he is the best!


I love my little Valentine's too! I truly am blessed!

My Hubby Spoils Me!

So, I've been wanting a big fancy shmancy SLR camera for FOREVER....guess what my really sweet husband surprised me with for Valentine's Day. Yep, he got me one! He's been wanting to get me one forever also, but has been practical so I've been patiently waiting for it. I love taking pictures. (if you haven't noticed) My dream is to take professional pictures. I always get so excited about really nice pictures, but there isn't much I can do with my little point 'n shoot camera! Anyway, I'm super excited to learn how to use the fancy shmancy camera. Hopefully by the time Baby Boy arrives I'll be able to do some cool stuff. The thing that I love about it right now is that there is no lag time between pictures. I can just snap a million in a row! (Ok maybe not a million, but a lot!) Anyway, here are a few pictures I took with my camera the first night.
The girls were watching a movie when I was playing with it so they were in a daze.
Emma was dancing to Veggie Tales.
My cute husband.
The self portrait is a little more difficult with the big camera!
Pretty girl!
Cute pie!
They are having fun as usual!

Cousins are the Best!

Last week the girls had the best week with their cousin, Hannah. She was here for the entire week. Abby had fun when Hannah came over after church and dressed her up and did her hair. We celebrated Hannah's birthday with the whole family the first day she was here. We got her a Build a Bear gift card. Emma also had a gift card for B.A.B. so all three girls got something. We also went to Pump it Up. Abby had the best time with Hannah. I think Hannah is the only person with enough energy to keep up with her. Needless to say, there were many tears after Hannah went home. They are definitely looking forward to the next time she comes to visit!

Still No Name

Why is it so hard to pick a name for a boy? It was so easy picking names for the girls. We've known it's a boy for about 2 months so you'd think we'd have one by now. We have narrowed it down to 2 names, but I honestly cannot decide which one. I feel this pressure about picking the 'right' name. I know it's silly and that there is no right or wrong name, but I'm feeling it anyway. Luckily my fabulous husband is not hormonal like me so he is easy going about it. Anywho, hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be blogging about the chosen name. Sorry to keep you waiting....
