7 weird things...

Hotdog, I've been tagged. Greeeeat. Now, I must be forced to share 7 weird things about myself. This shouldn't be hard....I'm quite the weird one.

1. The same as my tagger, if I'm at your house and the toilet paper is "facing" the wrong way I'll take the liberty to fix it for you.

2. I have a specific routine for washing my daughter's bottles and I probably wouldn't allow you to wash them for me because I'm THAT picky. HAHAHA......that is, unless you are one particular person, my "twin".

3. I put ketchup on pretty much every piece of meat that goes in my mouth, seasoned or not...whatever, it's all the same to me.

4. I can't stand washing the whites...if it weren't for those stinkin' socks.

5. Me no likey the texture of pears.

6. I really don't enjoy drinking water but I make myself anyways.

7. I am both organized and messy...at the same time...don't ask me how.

Okay, well that's that. Hope you enjoyed. Now we'll see who really reads this because I'm tagging SARA WATERS.

no-no's

Anna♥Kate has mastered the art of the "no-no" motion. She doesn't really know what it means but sometimes I'm convinced she does. She shakes her head from side to side so dramatically. It's hilarious.

Intense, huh? :)

good sport

My daughter had to endure hours of picture taking yesterday. It was quite the day. First, I had to get a picture of her in the most interesting outfit I have ever seen. It's one of those that they never wear but you must get a picture in it...as if they did wear it. Anyways, it didn't turn out so bad. I think she made the outfit look quite cute. :)


Then, there was the ballerina outfit that her grandma (my mom) bought for her. At first I wasn't so sure about it but once it was on her and I shot the first picture I was convinced that it was the absolute most adorable outfit ever! (Obviously, I exaggerate a lot. But it is seriously super cute!) And she smiled so big! I couldn't help but love it. My baby was made for this. Hahaha. I'm glad she has learned to cooperate with momma's crazy camera eye. I couldn't imagine having a kid that just looks at me like I'm stupid and then continues to do what they were doing before I started harassing them with the cam. Instead, she looks right at me with those big blue eyes and shoots me the greatest smiles! Kuddos to camera baby.

Anyways, after the ballerina pictures her cousin Abigayle came over for some Valentine's pictures. Now that was interesting. I'm used to doing just Anna-Kate and not having any problems with her cooperating but when you throw in another baby things get a little tough. For one, neither of them sit up so it was hard to find a good "position" where Anna-Kate couldn't reach over and grab a bow, hair, ear, nose, etc. Second, it was just hard. If one would smile the other wouldn't. We probably took pictures for a good hour...or maybe a little more. And I spent even more time editting them and stuff. Anyways, here are a couple results from that shindig.


....well, I hope you all have a wonderful and LOVING Valentine's.

Nanners & Bear=BFF

One of my good friends has a little boy we like to call Bear. He is the cutest little "bear" I have ever seen. This baby boy has the sweetest smile...and those dimples, they get me. He and Anna-Kate are basically bestfriends...probably not by choice though. Haha. They just love eachother. Well, as far as we know. They think it's so cool to poke and prod eachother. It's so funny. We love watching them interact. It really is the most precious thing. Neither quite understand the meaning of gentle but hardly ever mind that the other is squeezing their face, arm, leg, neck or whatever they can get their tiny hands on. Here are some pictures of these cuties playing:


Well, those are our lovely little babes.

Aunt Emmy


Dear Aunt Emmy,
I think it's time for you to come see us. You haven't seen me since I was itty bitty. I'm getting pretty big, you know?! I can almost sit up, I love to stand, I grab things with TWO hands, I loooove to play with my feet (it gets some good giggles out of Mom) and I've grown an inch since the first of January and you last saw me way before that! I got all dressed up and took pictures for you because Mommy said it might work. I sure hope so because I'd really like to see you soon. Love you Aunt Emmy.
♥Anna-Kate♥

New age resolutions

Valentine's will be here before I know it...and THEN, my 23rd BIRTHDAY! It kind of feels like just yesterday that I was turning 22 and was 3 months pregnant. Now here I am, going into my 23rd year of life with a husband, a 5 month old & a bad bad dog. Haha. Could life get any better?!
Anyways, instead of making new year's resolutions I like to make "new age" resolutions. Haha. Basically, I don't start thinking of changes I want to make until I'm close to turning a year older. So, this 23rd year of life I'd like to become more disciplined (even a little bit would be nice), be a better encourager, read the Bible cover to cover, create a bedtime routine for my daughter and stick to it, become a more positive and helpful wife and lastly, I think I'd like to lose about 15-20 lbs. Mostly, I just want to get in shape. If the pounds disappear, even better. So friends, hold me accountable. I need it.
