Family Pictures 2012

A dear friend of ours recently took some pictures of our family! I must be honest, I really was not too optimistic about how these pictures were going to turn out. It was cold out the morning we took them, and my girls behavior was less than stellar, to say the least. I left with a sinking feeling that our attempt at getting some new pictures of the girls and our family was futile. Much to my delight, I was so pleased and happy to see how the pictures turned out!! Thanks friend for taking some beautiful pictures of our family!!! Here are a few of my favorites

Liva's First Birthday!!

My sweet little Liva turned ONE !!! We had a HUGE celebration!!! Our party was brightly colored and full of fun, friends, food and family!!! My MOM came in town for the party!!! We were all over the moon with excitement that Nana was coming to the party!!!We had balloons, pinwheels, bubbles, food, strawberry cake (daddy's pick), and much much fun!!!We sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our sweet girl, she ate it up, being the center of attention. She had a BALL at her party, she walked around smiling with her silly little grin, swinging her arms and clapping!! She totally loved all of the excitement and all of the chaos!!

Pictures of my sweetness!!!!

 Here are some pictures of my  beauties!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these pictures, I love my girls in blue!! What a blessing to have such sweet, funny, silly, crazy, beautiful girls in my life!!

   

The difference between Mommies and Daddies

Just an example of how mommy's and daddy's are totally different!! Here is a picture of Reagan and I's play-doh creation. We made a bakery, full of yummy treats and cookies and cakes!! Reagan let her daddy come and "shop" at her bakery and pick out his favorite cookie.

 

 And......Here is a picture of what Jeremy made when Reagan asked him to play with us. This is his "BOOGER" which he sculpted and then proceeded to blow out of his nose, Nice!!! Reagan was totally grossed out!!!!! She would not go anywhere near the "Booger."

 

I'm thinking that Jeremy is really needing a little boy to make play-doh boogers with:-))

Easter 2012

I love Easter!! I love everything about Easter. I love sweet little girls in pretty Easter dresses, I love brightly colored Easter Eggs, I love matching Easter baskets, I love Easter egg hunts, I love Easter weather!! I love that this year, Reagan was really into talking about and learning about the true meaning of this holiday we celebrate. We had such a fun Easter weekend, full of egg hunts, coloring Easter eggs, trips to the zoo, and time with friends!! We had a visit from the Easter bunny, and got to worship at our church and hear the never tired message of redemption!!

Egg Hunting at the Farm

We had a great time hunting Easter eggs at Nash Farm!!! The girls looked so cute in their matching Easter outfits!!! We did a little egg hunting, a little face painting, a little craft making, a little animal watching, and alot of fun having!!! Reagan had a ball filling her bucket up with eggs. Liva had a great time watching all of the easter egg hunting madness.

Long Break

So, I have not updated my blog in a million trillion years, seriously, since Liv was born. I just could not handle it, could not keep up with it. But, the other day, I was looking back through my blog and realized that this blog has been a fabulous way to record lots of memories. While looking back, I could not believe how things change so quickly, how life twists and turns and how babies grow up so very very quickly, and how quick I am to forget the little details of life that mean the most. So, having said that, I am going to try to get back to it, try to record those sweet moments that are so fresh in the mind today, but fade so quickly in the days to come. So, I will try to record those memories to the best of my ability, for me, so I can look back some day and smile at all the little things that I have forgotten!!
