NEW HOUSE!!!

Well it's official.... We Bought a NEW HOUSE!!!

We signed papers friday July 15th and will be moving in 30 days. This

has been a Long 2 year battle and we are so thankful that it is Finally

happening for us. We are sooo excited! The new house is still in Salem

although it's a bit farther from town than we are now. We are also

still in the same school district and Andrea will go to the same

Elementary School. We are still hoping to sell our house this summer

but if that doesn't happen we have a few trustworthy people interested

in renting it.

This is the link to see the info about the house but the pictures
on the site don't do it justice. I think they were taken by a midget

(you'll see what I mean) We will be having a massive house

warming party either end of august or beginning of september so stay

tuned for that

I have been trying to post this for days and can not figure out why it

won't let me single space...grr!!

Lainey 2mo check up

Lainey's 2 mo check up went great. She is definitely growing

weighing in at #11 14oz and is 21 1/2" long. She got two shots and

tolerated those very well.

Alaina has been doing Terrific with breastfeeding. It has been

so wonderful to feel so mobile and not having to lug bottles/

formula everywhere we go. Since I will be going back to work

in August we decided to try out a bottle in June, and it went wonderful.

Lainey immediately caught on and drank the entire bottle quickly

without any problems. Of course,her big sister had to be the one to feed

Lainey her 1st bottle.

Abigail Leigh is 3

On June 19th my little Abigail Leigh turned 3. This little crazy girl sure

keeps me on my toes. She has had more bruises, scrapes and minor

head injuries than any little boy I know.

At 3 she is very active, so smart and incredibly funny.

She Loves Alaina and wants to be just like Andrea.

She is such a special and lovable gorgeous little girl.

One morning I found Abbie sleeping on the floor next to

our bed surrounded by her "friends." It must've taken her

quite some time to drag all these little guys into our room :-)

Sleeping in a drawer..haha

So pretty

My BIG girl

It is very hard for me to believe that my little girl is going to be starting Kindergarten in less than 3 months. Where does the time go? I remember her arrival into this world like it was yesterday although it's hard to remember my life without her in it. She has now completed 2 years of preschool and is Definitely ready for this new chapter in her life.

Last week Andrea, Alaina & I went to the Kindergarten PowWow. Our day was spent touring the school and experiencing a "mini" day including meeting all the teachers. We went to art, gym, and music class as well as a visit to the library. We even got to eat lunch in the cafeteria. Andrea had so much fun and can't wait for the fall and the FUN to begin!!

She calls herself Lainey's "Little Mom" She is so loving and

can't keep her hands or mouth off of her little sister :-)

Just a few cute iphone pics to share. The quality isn't great but with three kids and lots of stuff to haul around it's almost impossible to have my camera with me all the time.

Lovin' the Wrap these days :-)

Lainey's Newborn Pics

So...I'm pretty sure I've never seen a cuter baby or picture for that matter. Ok so maybe I'm a little biased but I'm sure you will agree she's precious :-) Shawna took newborn pics of Lainey when she was 10 days old and as you will see, she has done it again!! I'm pretty sure people are gonna start having babies just so Shawna can photograph them! :-)

Mother's Day!!

What a Wonderful Mother's Day I had!! I feel so blessed to have the greatest family in the world. My husband is my best friend and he has given me my three most precious gifts.

Andrea Lynn 3-10-2006, Abigail Leigh 6-19-2008 and Alaina Grace 4-22-2011:

Mommy loves you girls SO MUCH!!!

Now about my Wonderful day.... Grammy Peggy watched Andie & Abbie for us so we could do a little Mother's day shopping. Which of course was a blast for them. They did lots of playing, some cooking, baking and even went to the park! Dan & I went to the mall to pick out my new BRACELET!! I have wanted a bead/charm bracelet for a while now and I absolutely LOVE it!! It's my Mommy Bracelet to represent my beautiful girls!The light blue bead is to represent March/Andrea, The light pink is June/Abbie and the clear/diamond looking bead is for April/Lainey. I also got an "A" bead and of course we all know that's to represent ALL my girls. In the coming years I plan to add beads that represent activities or milestones in my life or the girl's lives.

Dan & I have also been discussing the purchase of a new desktop computer. We only had a laptop and since Andie is starting school in the fall we felt that it was time for a "family computer." We went to Best Buy and this is what we left with! It's gorgeous! Oh...and look at those babies :-) It's my 1st MAC computer so for the next couple weeks I'll be learning lots.

After our shopping trip we went back to Grammie's house for dinner. It was Delicious! Thanks Grammie for a Wonderful Mother's Day dinner!! Then to the Davis's for some outside fun. And...let me just say I think I got my "cornhole groove" back..hahaha!

What a Terrific Mother's Day I Had!!! Thanks Dan!! :-)
