Happy Valentines day

Hey I am posting this a little early because I always forget and post stuff late. So I am getting a jump start. It has been a little busier around here now with two kids. When you get one happy the other needs you. It is an endless cycle but it keeps it from being boring. J is doing great! I call him my chunky monkey because he is now a little over ten pounds and is a month old. He is a really good baby and as long as he has a full tummy and clean diaper he is just fine. Mostly he just watches A run around like crazy! She is loving having someone to give kisses to and show all of her toys to. She also is starting to potty train!! One day she just started wanting to go to the potty without any pushing from mommy. I never thought the day would come but she thinks it is a new game. Hopefully she doesn't get bored with it. Well that is an update with our lives. We are just waiting to hear from Pharmacy schools and hoping to hear some good news. Rob loves being graduated (FINALLY) and can't wait to start building some star wars model kits he got for Christmas. I had no idea he liked star wars this much but oh well at least he didn't name my kid chewbacca right?? So Happy Valentines day and here are some pics of my Valentines!!

J is finally here!

After about 4 hours of labor and an epidural (which in my opinion is a must) J was born at 12:13pm on December 30th. He was a healthy 9 lbs exactly and was 21 inches long. I could not believe how big he was! No wonder I was so huuuuge! I am just grateful that he is healthy and everything couldn't have gone better that day. Such a difference from the first one. I am pretty sure it had something to do with having an epidural to help with the pain. A loves him to death and is constantly covering him with sloppy kisses. She is not jealous at all and loves to sing him "the cinderella song". I am truly blessed. I will post more pictures in the future but with two kids now I am short on time so this is just a quick peek!

Merry Christmas!!

Busy Week

The first week of December is always pretty busy for our family. December 6th Rob and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary. Wow that makes me feel old. Then on December 8th A turned 3 years old!! Now that makes me feel really really old. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and daughter. Nothing else compares! Here are some pics of the celebrations!


Rob surprised me with some beautiful long stem roses!



Grandpa Cook and Aunt Millie helping with the birthday crown

A likes horses and the color pink so this was the perfect present!

A with her cousin. I have a feeling these two are going to be trouble!

Turkey Bowl

Here is some pics of the Family annual Turkey bowl game. I was sidelined do to being very very pregnant. So I was in charge of the camcorder. After about 2 hours the score was 7-0. I think maybe next year we can work on our offensive game a little bit more.

New Glasses

I went to the eye doctor the other day and decided to get new glasses. I was tired of getting the same old glasses and decided to try something a little different. What do you think?
