Waffles, Strawberries, and Snow!

This morning was a slow lazy morning, we all slept until 7:30 and then the kids and i laid in bed for a half hour and watched mickey mouse while daddy got ready for work. There is nothing better than getting an extra hour of unexpected sleep, and then cuddling in bed with 2 of the cutest littles in the world! Exchange sleepy eyed hugs and kisses, and setting a peaceful pace for the day. Once we got moving, I asked John what he wanted for breakfast, and he says " waffles, with STRAWBERRIES & SNOW!" Usually this is a treat saved for an occasional weekend...but what the heck, I asked him what he wanted and he told me...So that's just what we had!

Our Little Princess

I have to admit I LOVE having a little girl. There is just something so exciting about seeing baby dolls, strollers, little pink tea sets, and purses laying around my house. I love the pretty dresses, and bows, and painting her sweet little toe nails! I always wanted a little girl, and now that she's here I am soaking it all up! However, as much as I am enjoying having a little girl I have to say that one is enough! Aaron and I are undecided about having more children, but one thing is for sure that if we do, I will beg God for another little BOY! As much fun as I am having with Audrey, she has also been 10X more difficult then John ever was. She has an attitude, and she knows how to use it! John has been my buddy, he's always been so easy going,he loves life and everyone in it. He is easy to discipline, and although on the hyper side he is over all a well behaved little guy. Miss Audrey on the other hand, stands her ground and will go down fighting if she has too...not exactly what I expected from my little princess when she was born. However, I still adore her..attitude and all :) I will just pray that one princess is all this household will hold!

You are 1 Today!

We celebrate with you today,
The Anniversary of wombs dismay,
She screamed and yelled, with a lions roar,
Her cries were silenced, with a baby’s snore.

You crawled and fell your way upright,
We smiled with joy, a gorgeous sight!
And now you’re one, on this special day,
We love you more, than we could ever say.


A year ago today, you made your way not only in to my life, but into my heart. We no longer shared the same breath, but just one look into your eyes and hearts began to beat together. Right there we formed a bond that we will share all of your days. You will always be my daughter, and I your mother. The last year has flown by, and with so much excitement, I was the recipient of your first smile, and heard your first laugh, we sang your praises when you rolled over, and gave a cheer when you began to sit up on your own, and then quickly learned to crawl. We loved watching you learn to play peekaboo, and wave bye bye, and your latest accomplishment brought a whole new excitement of it's own,you're walking!!!! You are a feisty little girl, who knows what she wants, but you are also extremely loving, and there is nothing better than sitting and snugging with you:) Today is your day my baby girl, and we want to do nothing but celebrate your precious life, and the joy that it brings! So today, and on Saturday when all our friends & family come together we are going to celebrate, and let you know that we love you! You have already been blessed with some pretty sweet gifts. Aunt Kerri bought you these awesome shoes!


They are Gladiator Sandals...and you look superb in them!

Then Jessica bought you a Birthday Bib, and a lady bug bank, because your party is lady bug themed:)





Thanks again to Aunt Kerri, & Jessica. Mom & Audrey LOVE her gifts
