VBS - So fun, So tiring!

We had VBS at church last week. It was such a blessing serving! I love the people of GPBC. It was so encouraging to be around all the sweet people who were a part of VBS. Renee and I did Music together. We had fun choregraphing some of the songs, and teaching all the moves to the kids. We had kids ages 2 - 6th grade! The kids were awesome. The theme was centered around the Lord's prayer, and they did a great job learning it! I was pretty tired by the end of the day. The girls went up two days and missed their morning naps, they just played and played and had a grand old time. They came home and took 3 hour naps tired girls! I am thankful we got to be a part of VBS. It was nice to get out and be doing something than the normal routine. I know the girls get bored here playing with the same old toys, new faces, new toys = happy tired girls. They kept asking to go "bye bye" every morning for a few days after VBS ended... I think they liked it!

Addi Bear is Walking!

We went to my parents last week and had such a great time! Addi bear had such a good time she decided to start walking :) She was too cute throwing the ball and taking steps. This week she has taken off and has taken as many as 20 steps. She is trying to keep up with sister. Hope you enjoy the movie of Addi Bear's steps!

It is Summer Time!

We are in Houston this week spending time with my family and enjoying all the sunny weather! My parents have a pool, and we have been taking every opportunity to soak up the sun. It has been a really fun visit. The girls are loving being here. My parents have 3 dogs, and being dog lovers they are constantly squealing and talking to them.

Addi bear is taking lots of steps, and Emma is just running around trying to figure out what trouble she can get into next.

We have been eating at home mostly. My Dad is a great cook, and going out with 4 babies is risky. Case in point. The one time we ventured out we went to Lubys. Thought it would be a good pick for the kiddos, lots of veggies, and senior citizens who probably love babies :) Well, we put the girls in the high chairs and start strolling them down the food aisle, they start going crazy squealing at all the food. If you haven't been around the girls lately.... lets just say they are very vocal. So we sit down and start getting them some food cut up, we look up and Emma is nawing on a piece of corn bread. My mom said, "where did she get that corn bread?" the little piglet had grabbed it off of my Dad's plate! It was hilarious. And all went downhill from there! Needless to say, we did not attempt to go out again.

We are loving being with Cousins Kate and Abby. Kate is just a month older than the girls, but is talking up a storm! She is so sweet, and the girls all play together really well so that is nice. They are loving baby Abby. They like to say baby, and want to give her kisses. It is too cute.

We had an interesting trip down. We did good until about Conroe, Addi decided she needed to potty, so we stopped and I changed her. They were both fussy at this point. Luckily, my friend Courtney had let us borrow a video! Baby Signing Time..... the girls watched it once and were signing hat, and waving to people when we stopped at a red light! So funny! They are signing baby up a storm now, and Emma even trys to sing it. HA

I am thankful to Will for letting us go and spend time with them. I miss them, especially my sweet sisters. Great way to kick off Summer!

The Big 5.... Wedding Anniversary

So, Will and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary on May 22nd. It has flown by! We both kept saying all day, 5 years... Wow. I know it isn't that long, but we were really thankful to celebrate! Both our parents celebrate their 30th anniversaries this summer. We have great examples in them of what marriage should be.

Janette graduated on our actually anniversary so most of the day was spent celebrating her great achievement! More to come on that :)

So Will and I were able to sneak away Sunday night for some much needed time together. The girls had been sick almost 3 weeks and so I was especially worn out. Whiny days, and on duty all night with sick babies, can make for one tired Momma! I told Will all I wanted was to sleep in! My wish was granted! We were able to spend a night in a hotel! We had dinner, saw a movie and even had ice cream. Then, i got to sleep in until 9:45, and had a continental breakfast. It was a WONDERFUL way to celebrate.

I am so thankful that I am married to a man who loves me, his girls, works hard to provide for us, loves the Lord, makes me laugh, makes me feel beautiful, and who is my best friend. I love you Will! These are our engagement pics... Will is going to kill me for putting these up! HA. Sadly, don't have any recent pictures of the two of us. Need to be better about that!

Fun Videos

As I mentioned in previous post, the girls are loving "accessorizing". Whether it is shoes, a hat, or sunglasses. Her is Miss Emma parading around in her glasses. A daily occurance with these girly girls.

Here is Addi saying one of her favorite words! Her can also see her famous scoot in this video. Every once in a while I catch her crawling normally! But I guess the "scoot" is normal for Addi Bear.

Here it is folks! Some video of Emma's first steps. She was just getting the hang of it as you can see! Now, she is practically running around here.

Here they are telling us all how the lion goes!!

Round and Round

So here is Addi Bear doing her round and round! She just started doing this the other day and I started singing. Now when I sing, she does it. Today, she was doing it on her tummy too. Emma has started doing it too. I tried to get a video of both of them doing it, but no such luck! Sorry I sound so annoying in this! And all videos... eek.

Abigail Faith 3/6/09

Here is my new niece! She is so precious. She came to visit me about a month ago. She had just started smiling and cooing. So sweet! She was so good... sleeping thru the night at 8 weeks! I can't wait to see her again.
