They love to take care of their little Tinkerbell


They love to help mommy with her mommy roles to take care of their litte sister. They help me get diapers and wipes, help Tink find her binky, get her blankets, get the towels to take a bath, imediately alert mom when she starts to stir and make noises, and love to hold and take pictures with her. Princess even scares mom a little when she picks her up on her own. My little man does tend to get jealous, because he's always been mommy's boy, and doesn't like to have to share the attention, but he also is intrigued with her, and is willing to help anyway.

Easter 2008


Easter was a blast. We found the cutest Easter/church clothes at Sams for a great deal. Princess absoluetly loved her new princess dress and insisted on showing everyone how she twirled in it. Little conductor as you can clearly see isn't so fond of wearing his "itchy clothes" and threw a tantrum until we took them off hours later at great- grandma's house for the easter egg hunt. Little man didn't quite know what to think, but kept "combing" his hair after we combed it, so it didn't stay very long. We did have one wonderful Easter though.

Our little one.


We just had our new baby girl on Tuesday, April 22nd 2008 at 4:35 pm. She weighed 7 lbs. 11ozs. and was 20 1/2 inches long. I wanted to make sure that I tried to cherish this experience of pregnancy because she will be our last. I don't think we could handle any more little ones, no matter how much fun they may be, or how much we love the ones we have. Though cherishing this experience was difficult.
At first it took me about 2 1/2 months to realize that I was pregnant. We weren't expecting to expect for a while, and thought we were taking the nessisary precautions we apparently didn't, and to top it off I was stretching myself thin being majorly busy. I had just returned to school and was determined that we couldn't have another until I was done, or near done. So needless to say not only was school difficult because I hadn't been in 6 years and was taking a full schedule, with the dreaded Math 1010 (the most failed class in the University) but had morning sickness on top of it. Though taking Nutrition helped through some of it. I did however get through it. I passed my classes with near flying colors, and decided to take this last semester online so I wouldn't have to worry about going into labor during finals.
I have to say, the lord will bless you if you keep in touch, he knows what you need to do. In pondering and praying about the best classes that I could take online (because I'm a hands on kinda person, and like the one on one contact). I couldn't have had the better schedule. 2 of my classes only lasted 5 weeks, and one ended 3 weeks early, and I only had to worry about one.
I made it through, and have a beautiful little one as well.
