Father's Day

I'd like to say Happy Father's Day to my Dad and my wonderful Husband. We only have two weeks left till our newest edition arrives! I can't wait to see Ryan hold her and be the kind of dad he's been to our older two girls.

Our Alaska Home

I can't believe we only have 7 weeks till we make our big move across the country to Alaska! Ryan and me flew out to Juneau a month ago to find a house! I wanted to share some pictures of our new home!

This is the den but will be our school room.

 This is the formal dining room but it's going to be the play room

Living Room

 Family Room

 Kitchen

 Eat in kitchen area

These are just a few of the pictures we took. For some reason I forgot to take a picture of the front of the house! It must be pregnant brain!!!! On a side note we only have three weeks left till we welcome Catherine Claire into the world! I can't believe it's almost time to meet her. This pregnancy has gone by so quickly. Hopefully I can keep the blog going....

Charlotte Rose

Charlotte is 17 months old now. She is full of energy.... she keeps on going and doesn't stop!!! Here are some of the things that she likes to do......
She likes to steal her sister's cups and gives her a sad face when she wants it back.
She loves to run! She has been walking since 9 months and she hasn't stopped since then!!! She is one busy girl!
She loves her babies. She really likes to bring them into our entryway and hide them from Emily. Her babies are the only things that she's sweet too!!! She loves to feed them and ride them around in her princess stroller!

I sure love this kid!!!!

Just some pictures of us for you MOM!!!!

Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam

Emily is a Sunbeam now!!! She's so excited to be in Primary! That's all she's talked about for the past couple of weeks! Ryan was on duty so I had to get the girls ready all by myself yesterday!! Emily was bursting at the seams ready to go to church when she took a sip of her drink and the lid popped off and went all over her dress, her shoes and the floors. She was devastated that she wasn't going to be able to wear her twirly dress to Sunbeams! She's a little sad in the pictures that I took of her. I don't think the change of dress made a difference to her sunbeam experience. After church I picked her up and she was grinning ear to ear! She got to help during sharing time and she loves her teachers! I can't believe she's old enough to be in Primary!

We've had a lot going on this month! We've decorated for Christmas, hung out with friends, had family come visit for a week, celebrated Christmas and the New Year! Christmas pictures will be coming soon.... While my in-laws were here we went to the duck pond in our area and the girls had a blast! We fed the ducks, both girls rode the scooter and had a leisurely walk.

The only picture we could get of the girls together!

My computer wouldn't let me rotate the picture!

LT JG

Ryan is officially a LT JG!!!! I am so proud of him!!!

Easter Egg Hunt

Today we went to our neighborhood easter egg hunt. Emily had a blast making a bunny mask, playing games, getting a badge from a police officer, eating pastries from panera bread and getting a balloon bunny. It was really hot but I enjoyed every minute of it. I'm glad we live in a neighborhood that has such cool community activities.

Spring in Texas

Spring comes very early in Texas! We have had beautiful weather the past couple of weeks. We have gone to the park, paint outside, play with bubbles, and ride around in the wagon almost every day. Last week I decided to put the girls in their new spring outfits and take some pictures. Charlotte of course didn't cooperate at all and Emily was her usual stubborn self. So we didn't get many pictures taken and they weren't that great. I love being able to get out of the house and enjoy time with my girls!!!

Riding with Daddy

So Ryan just decided that he needed to take Emily on her first motorcycle ride! Yes, I almost had a heart attack when he put her on it. She loves it!!! If Emily is with Daddy she will do anything! She is such a daredevil! At the end of the week we are making the 20+ hour trip to Breckenridge Colorado and Ryan can't wait to teach Emily how to ski! I will post pictures as soon as we get there!

5 Months

Time really does fly! I can't believe Charlotte is 5 months already! She is rolling all over the place, eating food, blowing bubbles, sticking her tongue out and spitting, she already has a tooth and she is getting on her hands and knees trying to crawl! Emily is beginning to like her sister now which has been a lot of fun. I love coming down the stairs and seeing my girls playing and smiling at each other. I can't wait to see them grow and become great friends.

Halloween Time

Super Saturday

This morning my ward had Super Saturday! I had so much fun!!! Here are a couple of things that I made. There were a ton of things that I could've done but these were my favorite. It's great to know how to make super cute headbands and flower clips for my girls!!! Oh and I made these cute crows too!

Pictures

A couple of weeks ago we got some pictures taken of the girls at WalMart. Of course Emily wouldn't sit still and take a decent picture with Charlotte so we only have one shot of them together.
