The Happiest Place on Earth

Off to Disney World...

Be back in a week! :)

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to two very special moms in our lives.

My Mom, LuAnne:

Jeff's Mom, Barbara:
They are some pretty awesome Grandma's too!

Playdate with Nathan

Back on April 15th Elysha and I got together and had a playdate with our kids. Here are a few pictures:Smile for the camera!!

Nathan is sitting there being good and still... Avery on the other hand, is hard to get to sit still... she is constantly kicking those legs and flinging her arms around! lol

He was trying to hold her hand ;)

Oh! Now he's rejecting her! lol

3 Month Check Up

Avery is getting big! She is still 24" long but is now 13lb 4oz. That puts her in the 75th percentile for both groups. She's allowed to eat more at a time now (which is good since she can be a little piggy ;] )
Everything looks nice and healthy. Her doctors always comments about her "kissable" lips and strong legs. She loves to stand so my arms get worn out from holding her up, but its a good trait for her to have. I hope that it means that she will be mobile before the norm, but who knows.
As far as sleeping goes, she is awesome! she goes down around 9 and sleeps till about 3 (give or take), eats a little, then is back down till 7 or so. I hope she keeps it up and only gets better.

Let me get on my soap box...

If I get asked if Avery is a boy, or she is referred to as "He" or any other form of the pronoun, I am going to scream! I know it's hard to tell at this age for some people, but come on! I have no patience for it when she wears pink and has a bow in her hair!

Ok, I'm stepping off now. Thanks!

Lady Bugs

Yesterday I was taking Avery for a walk around the yard and we came across these lady bugs in our Magnolia Tree. I was really able to get some good shots. I dont think Avery was too happy that she had to lay in the grass while I took pictures, though. (Dont worry, she was on a blanket) lol.
One of them had spots and the other didn't. If I had to guess, the male has spots and the female does not... Time to "Google" about ladybugs!

**Turns out that both have spots but they just fade with age. Looks like this one (the one in the first 2 pictures) is a "Golden Gal" lol

LOST Merchandise

Check out all the cool stuff they have on this site that's LOST related!

Which one should I get?

My brother-in-law has decided that we should all use the word "brother" at the end of every sentence... he should get this one:

11 weeks

I just love this picture! She is blossoming so much and changing so fast!

Happy Birthday Isla!!

April 15, 2010 @ 1:03pm. Isla weighed 7lb 12oz and was 19.5 inches long.

Isla (pronounced "eye-la") finally graced us with her presence after Stori was in labor for 31 hours! After going through such a long ordeal, the doctor finally decided a C-Section was needed. I felt so bad because everything Stori wanted and planned for her birth went the exact opposite. We have to be thankful, though, that there were no complications for Stori or Isla. I know they are proud parents.

I am so happy for Stori and Nick! She is beautiful! I am only going to post this one picture right now so that Stori can have the first real post of great pictures. I get to see Isla again this week... I can't wait!!

Pins and Needles

We are waiting patiently for little "Wannton" (The nickname that Stori and Nick gave their baby as a punn off their last name) to be born. Stori went in at 6:00am this morning to be induced since she is past her due date. They are going to let everyone know when he/she is born and ready for visitors. Its 9:00pm now and no baby yet. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers tonight.
I don't know if I can sleep now... :)
