Christmas pictures 09

our little man

me and my sister Brittany

the girls. The pictures turned out ok this year. not as good as last year but good enough to work with. I was wishing for a better group picture but it just wasn't working out.

my favorite picture so far~

We had so much fun with aunt Brittany, and we were so sad to see her go home. John Jay gave her the first smile and here is a picture of one of the first smiles! I love it...

Gingerbread houses

Leah's house

Sam's house

Every year we build gingerbread houses, it is so much fun for us to come up with creations! Leah did pretty good on her own house this year, Sammy just wanted to eat the candy and leah tried to help her with her house and it all collapsed. we didn't do the all out party this year but got enough candy to cover the houses, it was still fun and we got out creativity out!

the first snow

I took these pictures right out the front window. The deer were so pretty in the snow. I really like these pictures!

Pictures with Santa

So Leah didn't want to have anything to do with santa this year. But we started with Jay and then added in Sammy and Leah. So last year Leah told santa she wanted an elephant( which i thought was totally random) and this year she wanted a ariel snow globe like abbi's and a rainbow choo choo train with purple on it!( another total random) so where am i going to find a rainbow train? it just cracks me up the things she comes up with.

It snowed last night!

The girls had fun this morning playing in the snow!

pictures of little JJ

so proud!

I love this one...

And this is my other favorite!

proud daddy!

my friend Lauren who has been there to help deliver all 3 kids! Thank you just doesn't cut it!

It's amazing how crappy you look after giving birth....like being hit by a truck!

John Jay

well i wish i could post a picture but i can't get the pictures off the camera, sorry! We welcomed john jay on thursday nov. 5th. at 1:18pm. He weighed 7lbs. 8oz. and 19 in. long. everything went well and we are just home adjusting to a new life. I will post a picture soon!

I went to the ob yesterday and we are officially scheduled for an induction on Thursday morning at 6am. I am so excited, i didn't even get butterflies or anything, i guess that is the true test to being done when you aren't even nervous. I took my dog to the vet yesterday also, to find out that she too will be having babies and is due in 1-2 weeks. So i will have 1newborn, 2 kids, 3 dogs, 2 cats and a litter of puppies, does that sound like insanity or what! God give me the strength and patience for all of this!
And a big happy birthday to my first born today! Leah is 4 today! I love you baby girl!

I officially have 2 weeks left till the little guy gets here, if he decides to wait that long. I am very excited for him to get here and for this pregnancy to be over! I would like for him to wait another week though, i am out a pediatrician and an ob both are out on maternity leave so i'm kindof screwed right now. my ob will be back on the 2nd but my pediatrician is out till december so that sucks. Just hope he waits till at least the second to bless us with his presence. will post more when he gets here!

Leah's 4th Birthday!

she got bendaroos for her bday and John made her glasses out of them.

the next morning we were playing with all the presents and Sammy got in the bag, it was sooo cute!

We were cleaning up after the party and the girls decided to dig into the cake! total sugar high!

smiling before blowing her candle out

not a clear shot, but i love it. just before opening her presents!

sorry i haven't posted in so long. I lost my camera and after searching for an entire week i have found it. thank you god! so i posted a few pictures and hopefully pretty soon i will have baby pictures to post. Not too much going on here, just running around like an idiot trying to get everything done before the baby comes and tearing my house apart trying to nest. you know the usual crazy pregnant lady stuff. 6 weeks and counting.

summer

a day at the lake for a friends birthday!

swimming in aunt mindy's pool. and holding a frog, leah loved it sammy screamed like she was getting killed...very funny

at the park with leah and jordyn...

Sammy's second birthday!

sorry it's taken me so long! we had a low key party this year. i spent the morning crying about it being 1 year since i lost my precious kobe. so we kept it simple this year. small bbq and of course an ice cream cake!
