Silly Pics

First a cute pic, then the rest are silly pics that I've taken during the summer but never got around to posting.

She loves trying on Noah's sun glasses

She also loves playing in the laundry basket

And then Noah always has to join in

This picture and the next one are what I see looking out the window at me everytime I take the dogs outside

Poor Minnie Mouse

Anna loves to perch herself on top of the sofa

Happy Birthday to me!

This week Noah started his first day of 1st grade. I can't believe he's in 1st grade already. It's going too fast. He was so excited about starting school and all ready for the first day with his spiderman backpack and lunch box he picked out himself.

This week was also my birthday. I turned 29 this week. My last year in my twenties. Yuck! I'm not looking forward to turning 30 next year, but I guess there's nothing I can do about that. It was not the greatest birthday though. I mean I did have a nice time, a nice dinner out, and I loved all my presents, but I've had the worst morning sickness with this pregnancy that seems to be worse at around dinnertime, and I also had a touch of a stomach bug on my birthday and several days after, so I was not feeling so great for this birthday, but I made it through it.

A Special Announcement

Anna and Noah have a special announcement to make......

They'll have a new little sibling in March 2009.

I'm about 9 weeks pregnant now, and Noah, Anna, and I went to the doctor the other day and saw the baby and the little heart beating already. Noah is very excited to have another sibling, but I'm not too sure how well Anna's going to take it when the new baby arrives. She likes having Mommy all to herself and is very clingy with me.

I made the t-shirts in the above picture for the kids to surprise the grandparents. They surprised my mom on her birthday and also my grandma and great aunt and uncle. Then they wore the shirts again when we went to Tennessee last week and surprised Arron's parents.

Here is a picture of baby #3 from my doctor visit...

More Cousins

Last week we went up to Tennessee and Virginia to visit Arron's family. We stayed in Tennessee with his parents and visited with them, and then we went over to Virginia two days to visit Arron's grandmother and cousins. The pictures are all of the time we spent at the cousins house. We stayed there for hours and let the kids all play together and have a good time. They did not want to say good bye at the end of our visit.

Visits from Cousins and Grammy's Birthday

Arron's cousins Charles and Rachel came down for a visit with their 3 kids, Kael, Cooper, and newborn Mallory. Noah and Kael are only a few months apart, and they always have a blast together. We met them at the Aquarium and walked around in their for a while, then we took the kids over to the playground to get all their energy out. While we were there we got a group picture of all the kids. Then we headed over to Ben and Jerry's for some ice cream before we said goodbye.

Last week was Grammy's birthday too. My cousins Paul and Renee and their two kids Kayla and Luke were down as well for a visit and joined us for her birthday dinner. Noah and Kayla had a good time talking and coloring together at the restaurant. Then we went back to Grammy's house to give her her presents and have cake and ice cream.

Don't eat the presents Anna

Time for cake, ignore Arron's big mouth in the background. He was being silly.
