Happy 8 months!!

Happy 8 Months, my little man!!!

Our monthly photo shoots are getting a little more difficult...

And there it is! 

Valentine's Day

We had a fun and low key Valentines Day this year...the kiddos woke up to find little surprises waiting for them on the dining room table...six stuffed animal characters from Toy Story 3 (gotta love when the Disney Store has a buy 1 get 1 sale!).  I also got a sweet surprise of my own at work-a dozen roses and chocolate covered strawberries!)  I even was able to make it to the girls school to celebrate V-day in the classroom as well! Yay-what a happy day!

Don't mind the food on his nose! :)

And don't mind Ella's new "camera face"...the poor thing can't keep her eyes open for the life of her! 

I now realized I don't have a picture of my dear Abbie, sorry Abbie!

All the love around the house tired this little guy right out!

Levi's Dedication

Levi had his dedication ceremony at our church on January 30th.  I can only pray that my little man will grow up to know the Lord...as a Momma I pray for his and his sisters salvation everyday.  Here are some pics from Levi's big day...

Levi and his big sissy...notice how Levi is acting like he is too cool for this picture! ;)

Levi and his cousin, Kenzie...it's so funny b/c these two look more like siblings than Levi and his actual sisters!

Levi and his Papa!

I LOVE this pic of Levi looking up at Pastor Justin...I DO NOT love this pic of me! 

Levi and Pastor Justin (aka-Levi's future father in law)...Yep that's right Levi and Pastor Justin's and Annie's daughter, Daisy are going to get married! But on a serious note...God could not have given our church a better Pastor..he is such a blessing!

7 months...

Happy 7 Months Sweet Levi!!!!

You really are one of the sweetest babies around (and I'm not just saying that because I'm your momma!).   I LOVE that you love your momma...it melts my heart how you start to kick when you see me! I love that you still wake up once a night to say hello and eat a quick snack!  I love how fat your little thighs are!! And I am so proud of you that you can sit up all by yourself now...better late than never!  To sum it up...I am crazy about you my little man!!

Cousins...

I LOVE to see my children growing up with cousins! I didn't have any growing up and was always envious of my friends who had cousins!  I especially love to see Abbie and Kenzie growing up together!  They are a little less than 3 months apart and have never gone longer than two weeks without seeing one another!  I love to think of them going through life together...like sisters!

Christmas 2010

We had a great Christmas this year despite our little Sophie not being completely better from a lingering sickness (which we later learned was pneomonia).  Sophie always gets sooo sweet when she is excited and we did not see much of that this year which made this momma sad but we we were still able to enjoy and celebrate the birth of our Savior so we can't complain.  

On Christmas Eve before church...
Oh how I love Abbie's smile!

I do realize the day is going to come very soon when the girls are going to protest having momma put such a big flower in their hair..but until that day comes bring on the big flowers and bows!!!

Levi was not having it...

Unless he was with his Momma! (No worries Levi...mommy will hold you forever and ever!)

Oh my...it is so hard to try and get a picture of all four...this was the best of about 10 shots...kind of funny that this one is the best...  :) 

Santa came!!

Oh how Momma loves these little farmhouse dolls...I definitely loved them more than the girls did!

Christmas Morning

Merry FIRST CHristmas Levi!!!

Sophie after finding her one gift she asked for!

Abbie with her first jewelry box...with a dancing ballerina and all...thanks Grampy!!
