Baby Rolls

You know how little baby hands and feet are so adorable with their little rolls, like they've got rubberbands around their wrists and ankles? Yeah, not so cute on a 28 year old woman. Swelling is so not fun! I'll spare you the pictures.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Josiah!!!

Today our baby boy turned 3 years old! Oh, how the time flies! He is such a fun, energetic, and completely unpredictable kid. We love you Josiah!! We are so blessed to have you in our family!

The day Josiah was born...so tiny! So precious! I can't believe it's been 3 years already.


Josiah's first birthday...enjoying his very own cake!

Josiah's second birthday. What a cutie!

And Josiah today. Our big 3 year old!!! Happy Birthday, buddy!

We went bowling for Josiah's birthday tonight. He is a pro! And he loves getting the bowling shoes! So grown up! After he pushes the ball down the lane, he jumps up and down chanting "Go! Go! Go!" and then when he knocks down even one pin, he throws his fist into the air and yells "YEAH!" and runs to give everyone a high five! Adorable.

More pics to come from his Spiderman party coming up this Saturday...

Belly Pic

Ok, ok. I give. Here is a picture of me...huge, barefoot, and pregnant. Oh, complete with my wooly mammoth sized swollenness. But, oh so beautiful, right? Actually, other than the swollenness, I am doing wonderfully. And am very much looking forward to this baby coming!

Spring Party

Ever since about January Lucy has been requesting a Spring Party. We had to wait, of course, for it to actually become Spring. Then the weather did not want to cooperate. So, after what seemed like weeks and weeks and weeks into Spring, we FINALLY got to have our Spring Party. Despite my much planning and Lucy's fretting, it turned out to be a glorified play date. Which was just fine with me...everyone had a great time!

Lucy and Sierra climbed the tree with NO help and NO shoes!

So, I know it's been forever, and I PROMISE I'll post a real one really soon, but first....there is a fantastic giveaway over at http://hairandshare.blogspot.com/!! Go there to win a Corioliss flat iron. I had one a few years ago, and there is no comparison. Cheap flat irons are so not worth it, but coming up with the $$ for the really nice ones isn't always realisitc. So, enter to win this one. You will love this thing!
