We LOVE Fall

Fall is my family's favorite season.  So much to do and so much see!  Here's a few pictures from our Fall so far!  

Wordless Wednesday!

I haven't even blogged in FOREVER!!!  I miss it!  I have been soooo busy it's unreal! 

Anyways, Here are a few from our pool yesterday!  The kids love swimming! 

Been a while!

Wow, it really has been a while since I've posted or done giveaways!  Life has been incredibly busy and non-stop recently it seems!  We are gearing up for the end of the school year for my Preschooler and Kindergartener and have had tons of fun activities going on!  Now, hopefully I can get back into the swing of bringing awesome giveaway finds.  :)

Learning about Bald eagles at Dan Nichols Park

Taking a ride on her favorite Carousel

Gem Mining - Found a shark's tooth and small emerald this time!!

Yoshi, Our newest addition to the family



Liliana turned one in April .. Time flies!!  



Just because

So my Mom got Liliana a custom Tutu made from Something Sassy Tutu's & More on Facebook and she also sent us some absolutely adorable headbands to match!  I am in LOOVVVEEEE!!  Such beautiful colors and very well made!!  I will say that I am happy with the few shots I was able to get!  So hard to get an 8 month old to sit still, lol! 

Happy New Years!

What a great year this has been (For the most part)!

I've became a Mom for the third time!  With the help of my WONDERFUL doctor I had my 2nd succesful induced VBAC (w/out pain meds b/c of the super speedy delivery) which I was told after I had my first I'd never be able to have a regular delivery - WRONG!  I never liked that Drs office anyways, lol. 

My husband and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary! 

My daughter, Abigail, started preschool and is doing wonderfully!  Her teachers gave her the award for being the "Most Glamourous" and constantly talk about how smart she is. 

Jacob is excelling in math.  We went from being held back, behind, and constantly in trouble in school and transferred him when we moved and now he is doing GREAT!  His teacher figured him out and knows how to work with him.  It's truly amazing the difference one person can make. 

Liliana has been flying through her firsts!  She's now standing up on everything and before I know it she'll be one.  :(   Now if only the little lady would start eating baby food we'd be all good! 

That's about it for now!  I just wanted to say a few of my favorite things from this year.  It's hard to believe another year has passed.  Time flies when your having fun they say!

I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Years!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Favorites of 2010

My favorite pictures from 2010

 I had Liliana 4 days later just over 41 weeks w/zero pain meds and just under 2 hr labor (whew)

Happy Late Christmas and Happy New Year!

With all the fun and snow yesterday I completely forgot to say Merry Christmas to everyone!

Better late than never, huh?

Anyways, we had a great Christmas here!  We had the first White Christmas since 1947 where we live!  My parent's flew out to Nebraska for the holidays and my Mom was shocked that the only year she hasn't been here for Christmas is the one it snows on, lol.  It's cold out there in Nebraska, but no snow as of yet for them!  We got about 4 inches here and the kids went outside and made Snowballs, etc for a while and came in for some Hot Chocolate! 

I hope everyone had a very good holiday and has a Happy New Year!  The hubby and I are celebrating tonight since he works.  He's a Supervisor in Security so he doesn't get holidays or special days off.  I think the only Holiday he hasn't worked is Halloween and because it fell on a Sunday, lol.  He had my 6 year old in amazement when he told him he 'guarded Santa's sleigh' on Christmas Eve while he put presents in the houses of the area he works in though. 

Soo, off to get the kids ready for bed and hopefully by the time they are asleep we can open up a nice glass of Champagne and watch a movie or something!

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe New Years! 

And yes, Abby is STILL rocking her hat that I ordered from While You Sleep, I Crochet.  She wears it almost everyday, lol.
