The Hobbs house has been a little busy and I have not taken the time to update the blog since Halloween. I had considered going back and trying to fit in pictures of everything we have been doing over the last eight months and figured that was just more effort than I could expend. Whitney has grown so much and is like a little lady these days. She is speaking in full sentences and is very good at letting us know how she is feeling. She loves to sing songs, play mommy to her babies, cook in her kitchen, ride her tricycle and play outside. For fathers day, Whitney and I had our pictures done (well really she had her 2 year pics done a little late and I jumped in for a few pictures with her). I think they turned out well-it is always so hard to narrow down the choices. Just wanted to give a little update and I will TRY to keep this blog thing a little more up to date!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-5585759132686643902008-11-15T12:13:00.000-08:002008-11-15T12:29:49.649-08:00Halloween 2008<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8vmCusOXI/AAAAAAAAAac/-JQ3zRQ3mjs/s1600-h/With+Pretty+Woman.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268982419661011314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8vmCusOXI/AAAAAAAAAac/-JQ3zRQ3mjs/s320/With+Pretty+Woman.JPG" border="0" /></a> Sarah Palin and Pretty Woman<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8vl0bGjrI/AAAAAAAAAaU/ze0UDTIhgEU/s1600-h/Red+Necks.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268982415820754610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8vl0bGjrI/AAAAAAAAAaU/ze0UDTIhgEU/s320/Red+Necks.JPG" border="0" /></a> Loving the rednecks!!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8vlZQLwPI/AAAAAAAAAaM/3wZSUTbcR-c/s1600-h/Sarah+Palin+and+John+McCain.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268982408527200498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8vlZQLwPI/AAAAAAAAAaM/3wZSUTbcR-c/s320/Sarah+Palin+and+John+McCain.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />John McCain and Sarah Palin<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8vlBaVJ-I/AAAAAAAAAaE/g_VWbwqPAIs/s1600-h/The+Joker.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268982402127308770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8vlBaVJ-I/AAAAAAAAAaE/g_VWbwqPAIs/s320/The+Joker.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />The Joker<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8vk5OQ2kI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/C1ZOPqAUQM0/s1600-h/Tree+and+Tree+Hugger.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268982399929211458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8vk5OQ2kI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/C1ZOPqAUQM0/s320/Tree+and+Tree+Hugger.JPG" border="0" /></a> The Tree Hugger and His Tree<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8uXlDUdGI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/leafMRToik8/s1600-h/Concentration.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268981071664673890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8uXlDUdGI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/leafMRToik8/s320/Concentration.JPG" border="0" /></a> The Little Bumble Bee<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8uWkr0AEI/AAAAAAAAAZs/uwQUvbz0ysw/s1600-h/Whitney+and+Friends.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268981054386208834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8uWkr0AEI/AAAAAAAAAZs/uwQUvbz0ysw/s320/Whitney+and+Friends.JPG" border="0" /></a> Whitney and her friends<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8uWJaj0OI/AAAAAAAAAZk/GZTZnQLINw4/s1600-h/3+Bees+and+a+Witch.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268981047066087650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8uWJaj0OI/AAAAAAAAAZk/GZTZnQLINw4/s320/3+Bees+and+a+Witch.JPG" border="0" /></a> Three bees on the street</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Halloween was a lot of fun this year. Whitney dressed up as a bumble bee and went trick or treating in the neighborhood. We had family and friends over for chili and had a great time. The neighborhood was full of many cute kids. There was a whole hive of bees and they were all buzzing around. The next night was Halloween for the big kids. David and I dressed up as a tree hugging hippy and a tree. David came up with the idea and I have to say it turned out to be a pretty good one. Whitney went to Mimi's for a sleepover and David and I headed down the street for the party-not returning until MUCH too late!! Overall a great time!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-50897337459544975382008-11-15T11:51:00.000-08:002008-11-15T12:13:39.872-08:00Where oh where did October Go??<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8sgYmRtnI/AAAAAAAAAZc/LzV3jbsisfM/s1600-h/Mom+and+Whitney.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268979023917201010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 224px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8sgYmRtnI/AAAAAAAAAZc/LzV3jbsisfM/s320/Mom+and+Whitney.jpg" border="0" /></a> Whitney and Mommy on my birthday<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8sgK3OTNI/AAAAAAAAAZU/kpyd1a7Bt3s/s1600-h/Remember+This+Uncle+Matt.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268979020230184146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8sgK3OTNI/AAAAAAAAAZU/kpyd1a7Bt3s/s320/Remember+This+Uncle+Matt.JPG" border="0" /></a> Uncle Matts old fire truck that Grandpa restored to like new condition.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8sfvOcLCI/AAAAAAAAAZM/KCqj0Ox1HY4/s1600-h/Newest+Fire+Truck.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268979012811369506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8sfvOcLCI/AAAAAAAAAZM/KCqj0Ox1HY4/s320/Newest+Fire+Truck.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />The newest firetruck at Grandpas house<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8sBF4LdaI/AAAAAAAAAZE/VlezKzfW__M/s1600-h/The+Big+Kid.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268978486316070306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 241px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8sBF4LdaI/AAAAAAAAAZE/VlezKzfW__M/s320/The+Big+Kid.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Daddy riding the bikes at the pumkin patch<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8sAZT_arI/AAAAAAAAAY8/LwryxJ_igp0/s1600-h/What+is+she+Thinking.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268978474353126066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8sAZT_arI/AAAAAAAAAY8/LwryxJ_igp0/s320/What+is+she+Thinking.JPG" border="0" /></a> Deep concentration at the Pumpkin Patch<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8r_yttA6I/AAAAAAAAAY0/NFT8R2MtVV8/s1600-h/Pumpkin+Patch.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268978463991989154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8r_yttA6I/AAAAAAAAAY0/NFT8R2MtVV8/s320/Pumpkin+Patch.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Look How Tall!!!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8r_pP6TQI/AAAAAAAAAYs/votHufWbomk/s1600-h/Mom+and+Whitney+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268978461451111682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 208px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SR8r_pP6TQI/AAAAAAAAAYs/votHufWbomk/s320/Mom+and+Whitney+2.jpg" border="0" /></a>Once again I am so far behind the eight ball and another month has come and gone-actually now we are half way through November. October was a fun and busy month. A trip to the pumpkin patch with daycare, my birthday, fire truck fun, Halloween and many other random busy days. Whitney is growing so much and is starting to really talk up a storm. She is really picking up on things quickly. We sneeze and she says "Bless you", she knows some shapes, colors and numbers, she recognizes friends and family in pictures and will point say their names, she can pretty well tell us what it is she it wanting. Within the last few days, whenever she stubs a toe or finger she says "kiss" to make it better. The commands to Maddie (whom she now calls Maddie Girl) have increased-sit, stay, stop, NO NO NO, eat, come-and Maddie just lays there and takes it all in. She is so much fun these days and we are looking forward to the holidays!! She even regonizes and says Santa whenever we see a Santa Clause. </div></div></div></div></div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-39173349689074530182008-10-05T11:56:00.000-07:002008-10-05T12:11:29.580-07:00Random Pictures<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SOkPeWw_YuI/AAAAAAAAAT4/hsH1UnPaka4/s1600-h/First+Pedicure.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253747454485947106" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SOkPeWw_YuI/AAAAAAAAAT4/hsH1UnPaka4/s320/First+Pedicure.JPG" border="0" /></a> First Pedicure given by Aunt J<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SOkPe63e-MI/AAAAAAAAAUA/33mXMrRwjOs/s1600-h/Little+Devil.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253747464176859330" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SOkPe63e-MI/AAAAAAAAAUA/33mXMrRwjOs/s320/Little+Devil.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Little Devil<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SOkPfEahJqI/AAAAAAAAAUI/-zxee-9BdZ0/s1600-h/Playstation+Lessons.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253747466739721890" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SOkPfEahJqI/AAAAAAAAAUI/-zxee-9BdZ0/s320/Playstation+Lessons.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SOkPf6hvH2I/AAAAAAAAAUQ/WAenNuy1mTc/s1600-h/10+months-Big+Boots.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253747481265512290" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SOkPf6hvH2I/AAAAAAAAAUQ/WAenNuy1mTc/s320/10+months-Big+Boots.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />10 months old<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SOkPgfpH-nI/AAAAAAAAAUY/HgwG8Vclb70/s1600-h/Big+Boots.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253747491228613234" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SOkPgfpH-nI/AAAAAAAAAUY/HgwG8Vclb70/s320/Big+Boots.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>This post is just a lot of random photos from the past month. I have not been the best at taking pictures lately and when I do get the camera out Whitney acts more like a little clown which makes getting good pictures a little difficult. She just grows more everyday and so does her personality. NO is a new favorite much to my dismay; however, she does well with the please and thank you's too-so-it balances out I guess. She is just taking off everywhere and LOVES to be outside. I really think she would stay outside all day long if she could. Not a ton to say in this post, just wanted to get some new pictures out.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-56227442975969743812008-10-05T11:42:00.000-07:002008-10-05T11:51:53.335-07:00The Ace of Cakes??

That man and his cakes are amazing. </div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-16128052376137711512008-09-08T10:28:00.000-07:002008-09-08T10:33:53.194-07:00What a Difference a Year Makes<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SMVh4Q9rX5I/AAAAAAAAASo/2rxcifxGqTc/s1600-h/546213312503_0_BG.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243704960397041554" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SMVh4Q9rX5I/AAAAAAAAASo/2rxcifxGqTc/s400/546213312503_0_BG.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SMVh4Ybs1UI/AAAAAAAAASw/U7CUIhOSN4c/s1600-h/2nd+Ice+Cream+Social.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243704962402014530" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SMVh4Ybs1UI/AAAAAAAAASw/U7CUIhOSN4c/s400/2nd+Ice+Cream+Social.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><div>Each year at the end of the summer the kids have an ice cream social at Ms. Karens. They just had one this year and I came across a picture of Whitney from last years ice cream social and - WOW - to compare the pictures together really reminds me how much she has grown up in only a year. It is just amazing!!<br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-37831397130282427702008-09-08T10:21:00.000-07:002008-09-08T10:27:35.565-07:00First Day of School<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SMVgXQrAnuI/AAAAAAAAARw/s965e3FGDeg/s1600-h/First+Day+School+1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243703293871431394" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SMVgXQrAnuI/AAAAAAAAARw/s965e3FGDeg/s320/First+Day+School+1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SMVgXqkDsHI/AAAAAAAAAR4/l2RdyGH8Vi0/s1600-h/First+Day+School+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243703300821594226" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SMVgXqkDsHI/AAAAAAAAAR4/l2RdyGH8Vi0/s320/First+Day+School+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SMVgXmwHAnI/AAAAAAAAASA/nfnPcpowJnc/s1600-h/First+Day+School+3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243703299798401650" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SMVgXmwHAnI/AAAAAAAAASA/nfnPcpowJnc/s320/First+Day+School+3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>The Humble Beginnings pool is closed for this summer and so begins the "school" year. Whitney has school every day and each week is a different theme, letter and number and each month is a different color. She got her backpack all ready for the first day of school after the Labor Day Weekend. She is sporting a Tinkerbell backpack to carry her paperwork home(which was a birthday gift from Ms. Karen). Bring on the learning fun!! </div><br /><div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-1673278697747713842008-08-31T18:37:00.000-07:002008-09-05T12:37:09.678-07:00Kansas City Trip<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SL9Bn41ZXNI/AAAAAAAAARA/dhsLWZ7cRXk/s1600-h/Looking+Out+Plane.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241980644809596114" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SL9Bn41ZXNI/AAAAAAAAARA/dhsLWZ7cRXk/s320/Looking+Out+Plane.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />August 28th the Hobbs family woke up early and left the house at 5:30am in order to make the plane in Louisville at 7:55am. We tried to keep Whitney sleeping; however, once she realized we were off on a trip she was wide awake and ready for the action. She did awesome on all of the plane rides. The only problem we had was keeping her in her seat for a full 2 hours span (lots of gummies and teddy grahams). We arrived in Kansas City at 2pm and got our rental van (a Chrysler Town & Country). I swear I will NEVER own a minivan; however this thing was nice. It had a tv and pull down carseats (so much for packing the very heavy Britax along). <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SL9BoPop1yI/AAAAAAAAARI/diD3AP-HGOY/s1600-h/With+Mom+on+Plane.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241980650930165538" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SL9BoPop1yI/AAAAAAAAARI/diD3AP-HGOY/s320/With+Mom+on+Plane.JPG" border="0" /></a> We arrived at Uncle Matts around 2:30 and I don't think we stopped until we got back on the plane Sunday at 1pm. Thursday and Saturday nights we got to spend time with Uncle Joel, Aunt Pee Wee and Madi. They provided us with two great meals!! Friday morning we got up and headed off the the Federal Reserve of Kansas City for a tour. Whitney got stuck in her stroller in the turnstyle on the way out (funny story) and had to be rescued by the security officers (so embarrassing). We left there for lunch outside at Jack Stacks. That night we fixed dinner at home and hung out at Uncle Matts. Saturday was touring KC and checking out some AMAZING houses in Kansas, the WWI memorial, and Union Station (very cool old train station). Then lunch at the Cheesecake Factory on the Plaza. Dinner at Uncle Joels and home to bed. Sunday we got up for Starbucks and got packed up to head home. The weekend went by very fast but we had a great time and our hosts (Matt and Andrea) were very gracious. We already have a list of places and things we would like to do when we make a return visit (maybe next year). Check out some of the pictures for glimpse of our trip.<br /><br /><div>Whitney and Blankie<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SL9BTpKGl-I/AAAAAAAAAQY/RtlLci_M2f4/s1600-h/Blankie+On+Plane.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241980297004095458" style="FLOAT: left;

We had been planning for this for quite some time and to see it finally happen was wonderful. I was not however prepared for the month plus without access to a kitchen. The whole process was well worth the wait and I wish I had better BEFORE pictures to share but as I have stated before I am a procrastinator to fault. Anywho-by Mother Day the final touches were put on and the kitchen was done (what a wonderful gift)!! Now I just need to finish my part and make some curtains (you will notice the fabric I have purchased for this project). I just wanted to share this remodel as I am so proud of the final product-David did a wonderful job!! And if you are asking why I am just now posting this-I just got around to taking AFTER pictures-surprise-surprise.<br /><br /><div></div></div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-62185787947257487162008-08-22T18:57:00.000-07:002008-08-22T19:08:11.203-07:00Cousins are the BEST!!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SK9vOgI9akI/AAAAAAAAAMo/aDPgETu4UJU/s1600-h/Walking+with+Cousins.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237527186591541826" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 1px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 217px" height="320" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SK9vOgI9akI/AAAAAAAAAMo/aDPgETu4UJU/s320/Walking+with+Cousins.JPG" width="164" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SK9vASab8FI/AAAAAAAAAMA/nOkQKrdF2GU/s1600-h/Fun+Times.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237526942388580434" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SK9vASab8FI/AAAAAAAAAMA/nOkQKrdF2GU/s320/Fun+Times.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SK9vAgPtNtI/AAAAAAAAAMI/4PAyW2jlD7s/s1600-h/Happy+Girl.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237526946101671634" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SK9vAgPtNtI/AAAAAAAAAMI/4PAyW2jlD7s/s320/Happy+Girl.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SK9vBJNcyoI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/UE310TMrJqE/s1600-h/Reading+to+C.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237526957098060418" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SK9vBJNcyoI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/UE310TMrJqE/s320/Reading+to+C.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SK9vBjiC1MI/AAAAAAAAAMY/aWl21b-ssyw/s1600-h/Sitting+with+Cousins+21.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237526964163761346" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SK9vBjiC1MI/AAAAAAAAAMY/aWl21b-ssyw/s320/Sitting+with+Cousins+21.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SK9vCgRACLI/AAAAAAAAAMg/kVOGjlCduuE/s1600-h/Sitting+with+Cousins.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237526980466837682" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SK9vCgRACLI/AAAAAAAAAMg/kVOGjlCduuE/s320/Sitting+with+Cousins.JPG" border="0" /></a> Finally I am posting the promised pictures of the cousins from their photo shoot the week after the Fourth of July. Had I mentioned there were over 100 pictures taken and I could have posted them all-the girls are so darn cute together!! Whitney loves hanging out with her cousins and it is no secret that we wished they didn't live 6 hours away. But we ARE coming to visit in September so do not fret-they will get together again soon!! Which just means more great pics for all my avid readers-hahahaha. <br /><br /><div></div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-30141509414071404272008-08-11T19:12:00.000-07:002008-08-11T19:51:22.146-07:00Where Have the Hobbs Been???<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SKD4EI8LmZI/AAAAAAAAALg/nlQtkJTXSjI/s1600-h/Love+the+Raw+Corn.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233455517007583634" style="DISPLAY: block;

Whitney just loves her cousins and we all wish we could see more of each other. On the 4<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">th</span> we had a very nice brunch at the Hobbs (Davids parents) house and then we all got together that night for the annual club cookout and fireworks. Aunt J (Jennifer) and her new beau Brian also joined us which was so nice. Then on Sunday the 6<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">th</span> Whitney was finally baptised at Christ the King. After the Baptism everyone headed over to our house for a very casual lunch (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">KFC</span>, some fabulous sides and the White Sangria!!-easy and delicious). Whitney and her cousins got together later in the week for a photo shoot of which I will post those fabulous photos later (still need to download in order to attach). Whitney took swim lessons at the Y and LOVED every minute. She loves to swim. She puts her face under and jumps in from the side-it was a great experience and we will be signing up for the next level once she is 18 months. We went to the zoo with daycare in the middle of July and Whitney loved all of the animals (of course the ducks are still her favorite). Ms. Karen had a daycare luau and sleepover a few Fridays ago which is always so nice for the parents. David and I took the opportunity to go out to an adult dinner establishment (something other than El <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Toro</span>, pizza, Pad Thai and such). It was a very nice break compliments of Ms. Karen (thank you!!!). You will see from the pictures that Whitney had just as much fun at the luau sleepover. You will also have to check out some of my random pics, including the ones with the pigtails. Ms. Karen put her hair up in the pigtails a week ago and it was the cutest thing I had ever seen-she is truly a toddler now. She screams out "baby" at all of the other babies we see while we are out now. How did it go by so fast??!!! She just amazes me-if you can't tell from some of the photos, she is the sassiest little person I have ever met and she is giving us a run for our money. The time just seems to be slipping away and before we know it September will be here. In just a couple weeks we will be heading out to Kansas City, MO to visit Uncle Matt and Erica (my brother and his girlfriend). I am so excited and it will be Whitney first time on the plane. I know I promise to keep everyone up to date and I haven't been great at downloading photos so it slows the whole process down. I know this has been a long rambling-just wanted to get in all I could and I will TRY to be better at posting-even if it is only a few blurbs without pics. Just four more days until the weekend!!!</div></div></div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-89115577602094155082008-06-27T08:25:00.001-07:002008-06-27T10:06:57.107-07:00How to Stay Young-by George Carlin<span style="font-family:georgia;">A co-worker sent me this email today and it hit me-I need to stop being negative so often. Days are short and I complain about not being able to get it all done-who cares!! I just loved this email and thought I needed to share with any of my blog readers out there. In addition, it is Friday and who doesn't love a Friday. Positive thinking for a good day!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">How To Stay Young-by George Carlin</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay "them".</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop" And the devil's name is Alzheimer's. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">4. Enjoy the simple things.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">10. Tell people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">What a smart man-I think this is something I should read every morning when I get up and every time I am getting negative or grouchy!! Have a great Friday!!</span>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-9117365332940234352008-06-26T12:37:00.000-07:002008-06-26T12:51:40.233-07:00Princess Jasmine<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SGPyJlh49mI/AAAAAAAAAJg/cEbLTZh0XPU/s1600-h/Arabian+Nights.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216279039932167778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SGPyJlh49mI/AAAAAAAAAJg/cEbLTZh0XPU/s400/Arabian+Nights.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Another great photo by Ms. Karen!! I am a procrastinator to fault. Anyone that has known me for a good length of time knows pretty much everything I do is at the last minute. The procrastination has obviously gotten worse since having a child. How many times have I said there is just not enough time in the day. Ms. Karen is the exact opposite. She is a serious planner and in addition to having Halloween planned out for the kids before July, I would also guess she is more than half way finished with her Christmas shopping. This kind of planning is amazing and I don't know how she gets it all done. Anyhow-as I said-she has already planned Halloween and the theme this year will be Arabian Nights. The girls will be Arabian Princesses (Harem Dancers-lol) and the boys will be Arabian Princes (Sultans/Sheiks). She has ordered all of the costumes and the girls outfits have already arrived (I am guessing this week). Karen sent some photos for a preview and Whitney's was hilarious. She looks like such a big girl in the picture. Even compared to the one year birthday pictures. I am amazed by Whitney's growth every day. Just wanted to share a little preview of the upcoming Halloween-it is sure to be a hit at Humble-Beginnings.</div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-45926940567966443072008-06-25T19:08:00.000-07:002008-06-25T19:20:27.541-07:00Finally - Memorial Day<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SGL8ubmxQqI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/tGUXu-Vp1ro/s1600-h/Grace+1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216009193063006882" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SGL8ubmxQqI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/tGUXu-Vp1ro/s400/Grace+1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Baby Grace<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SGL8vd-zhJI/AAAAAAAAAJY/qUYZPzYt-l4/s1600-h/Grace+2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216009210880558226" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SGL8vd-zhJI/AAAAAAAAAJY/qUYZPzYt-l4/s400/Grace+2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SGL71TJhaYI/AAAAAAAAAIw/O2jSRQi1tcE/s1600-h/Whitney+&+Madi+1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216008211540306306" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SGL71TJhaYI/AAAAAAAAAIw/O2jSRQi1tcE/s400/Whitney+%26+Madi+1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Whitney & Madi<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SGL71z_ZzRI/AAAAAAAAAI4/vgj54N24RK8/s1600-h/Whitney+&+Madi+2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216008220356234514" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SGL71z_ZzRI/AAAAAAAAAI4/vgj54N24RK8/s400/Whitney+%26+Madi+2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Memorial Day was a month ago and I am just now getting around to this update. Lesa Lipsey made it to Kentucky for a visit with her family and made a special trip to the house. Lesa worked with me at State Farm about 4 1/2 year ago (wow-can't believe it has been that long) and I haven't seen her since her wedding (about 3 1/2 years ago-I believe). Lesa had a baby (Madison) a few months after Whitney was born and this was the girls first time meeting. The girls had a blast and it was so great to catch up with Lesa. As an added bonus, my best friend Abby from high school stopped by with her daughter Grace (who was about 3 months at the time). It was a fun filled Saturday afternoon with all of our new babies. </div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-5953051621481980662008-05-30T11:48:00.000-07:002008-05-30T11:55:00.388-07:00Beep Beep<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SEBNHYQbHYI/AAAAAAAAAIo/R-yAbJyeXhc/s1600-h/768896121603_0_ALB.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206245958406053250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SEBNHYQbHYI/AAAAAAAAAIo/R-yAbJyeXhc/s400/768896121603_0_ALB.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>This was too funny to not post. Ms. Karen took this picture of Whitney in the car at Humble-Beginnings. From what she says, this car is a crowd favorite (or at least the blue key to "start" the darn thing). Whitney seems to have taken quite a liking to this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">hot rod</span>. The scariest part about this picture is that she looks very comfortable behind the wheel. Fifteen years can go by very quickly-from what I hear anyway-and she will be driving away. Watch out-here she comes!! </div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-83572446564329150582008-05-29T19:08:00.000-07:002008-05-29T19:24:49.783-07:00One Fast Month<div align="justify">I realize it has now been over a month since my last blog. In just one month Whitney has really been developing her personality. She is not a baby any longer, rather she is a VERY active little toddler. A few weeks ago we made a visit to the talking tree at Howard Curry and picked up two pairs of big girl shoes-some sandals and some tennis shoes. It is as if the new shoes have given her a superpower and she zooms around just creating one mess after another-we refer to her as our little tornado. </div><div align="justify">She loves hats and sunglasses and bows, pretty much anything that makes David and I say "You are SO cool". She loves to read books and wants us to read the same stories 20 times in a row; then she will take a small break only to pick out another book for more reading pleasure. She has really taken to her babies and rushes to the babies first thing in the morning. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SD9iwoQbHSI/AAAAAAAAAHw/3YPNPdLr2jo/s1600-h/HPIM1184.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205988281843129634" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SD9iwoQbHSI/AAAAAAAAAHw/3YPNPdLr2jo/s400/HPIM1184.JPG" border="0" /></a> She loves riding in her wagon. She bosses Maddie around demanding her to "sit" and "stay". Everyday is a new adventure with Whitney and it couldn't be more fun. <br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SD9ixIQbHTI/AAAAAAAAAH4/4fJThcevriQ/s1600-h/HPIM1185.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205988290433064242" style="FLOAT: left;

This has been wonderful as David and I love our sleep too. From the day she was born one of my favorite things has been our occasional weekend naps together. I love snuggling with her and I love to watch her as she is sleeping. She is looks so beautiful and peaceful and I look at her and can hardly believe she is ours. She can sleep through about anything and I have taken many sleeping pictures since her birth and thought they were too cute to not share. </div></div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-68607303447069379192008-04-20T06:59:00.000-07:002008-04-20T07:06:41.553-07:00The Cutest of All the Dolls<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAtNk1xDzCI/AAAAAAAAAFk/8IyqfbIPM-8/s1600-h/Doll+in+the+Window.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191328290778106914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAtNk1xDzCI/AAAAAAAAAFk/8IyqfbIPM-8/s320/Doll+in+the+Window.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAtNlVxDzDI/AAAAAAAAAFs/RHkMKB_JMyY/s1600-h/HPIM1166.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191328299368041522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAtNlVxDzDI/AAAAAAAAAFs/RHkMKB_JMyY/s320/HPIM1166.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAtNllxDzEI/AAAAAAAAAF0/-nM92dAAfkc/s1600-h/HPIM1167.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191328303663008834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAtNllxDzEI/AAAAAAAAAF0/-nM92dAAfkc/s320/HPIM1167.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAtNl1xDzFI/AAAAAAAAAF8/4qphipmrOZI/s1600-h/HPIM1170.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191328307957976146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAtNl1xDzFI/AAAAAAAAAF8/4qphipmrOZI/s320/HPIM1170.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Whitney has a old chest in her room in the dormer area that holds all of her stuffed animals and dolls. Recently this has become one of her new favorite spots. She wakes up in the morning or wakes up from a nap and she wants to sit on the chest with all of the dolls. She can look out the window and play with all the animals. It was a picture opportunity too great to pass up-I think she is the cutest of all the dolls!</div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-3296038129607072032008-04-17T14:47:00.000-07:002008-04-18T09:31:17.735-07:00I'm A Big Kid Now<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAjMonYDLOI/AAAAAAAAAFM/JFk72jPiIZY/s1600-h/HPIM1169.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190623568681184482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAjMonYDLOI/AAAAAAAAAFM/JFk72jPiIZY/s320/HPIM1169.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAjMpHYDLPI/AAAAAAAAAFU/lH5A30Y2uBg/s1600-h/HPIM1171.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190623577271119090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAjMpHYDLPI/AAAAAAAAAFU/lH5A30Y2uBg/s320/HPIM1171.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAjMp3YDLQI/AAAAAAAAAFc/tO6pBo5UHio/s1600-h/HPIM1172.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190623590156020994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAjMp3YDLQI/AAAAAAAAAFc/tO6pBo5UHio/s320/HPIM1172.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>For Whitneys birthday she received two brand new big girl carseats-one from David and I and one from her Grandpa Tucker. She had just gotten too big for the rear facing seat and it was time to move up to the big seat and face forward. We took her for her first ride (just around the block and for the sake of a first picture) and she smiled and clapped the whole time. It has to be great to have more room!</div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-31784055013796101392008-04-16T19:24:00.000-07:002008-04-16T19:53:04.930-07:00Turning One Was Fun<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa5mHYDLNI/AAAAAAAAAFE/VPsQ_wEPMQY/s1600-h/Digging+In+Cake.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190039685057162450" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa5mHYDLNI/AAAAAAAAAFE/VPsQ_wEPMQY/s200/Digging+In+Cake.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa5KnYDLJI/AAAAAAAAAEk/-SYQ0T6GM9g/s1600-h/Happy+Girl.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190039212610759826" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa5KnYDLJI/AAAAAAAAAEk/-SYQ0T6GM9g/s200/Happy+Girl.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa5KHYDLII/AAAAAAAAAEc/AmxsIs4w8oU/s1600-h/The+Most+Special+Gift.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190039204020825218" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="156" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa5KHYDLII/AAAAAAAAAEc/AmxsIs4w8oU/s200/The+Most+Special+Gift.JPG" width="200" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa5LHYDLKI/AAAAAAAAAEs/xTMzt4yHfJc/s1600-h/Whitney"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190039221200694434" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa5LHYDLKI/AAAAAAAAAEs/xTMzt4yHfJc/s200/Whitney%27s+Cake.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa5LXYDLLI/AAAAAAAAAE0/cOQxBlQ4m9Y/s1600-h/Blowing+out+the+candle.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190039225495661746" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa5LXYDLLI/AAAAAAAAAE0/cOQxBlQ4m9Y/s200/Blowing+out+the+candle.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa5L3YDLMI/AAAAAAAAAE8/TBbqbOEn7tE/s1600-h/Cake+Fun.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190039234085596354" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa5L3YDLMI/AAAAAAAAAE8/TBbqbOEn7tE/s200/Cake+Fun.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa4bHYDLDI/AAAAAAAAAD0/yz4YMIJsdkg/s1600-h/Outdoor+Sign.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190038396566973490" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa4bHYDLDI/AAAAAAAAAD0/yz4YMIJsdkg/s200/Outdoor+Sign.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa4bXYDLEI/AAAAAAAAAD8/_r1wTqy0Pac/s1600-h/Dining+Room.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190038400861940802" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa4bXYDLEI/AAAAAAAAAD8/_r1wTqy0Pac/s200/Dining+Room.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa4b3YDLFI/AAAAAAAAAEE/65-f4BC2HwA/s1600-h/With+Grandma.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190038409451875410" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa4b3YDLFI/AAAAAAAAAEE/65-f4BC2HwA/s200/With+Grandma.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa4cHYDLGI/AAAAAAAAAEM/8PW3UmVUGu4/s1600-h/With+Grandpa.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190038413746842722" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa4cHYDLGI/AAAAAAAAAEM/8PW3UmVUGu4/s200/With+Grandpa.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa4cnYDLHI/AAAAAAAAAEU/m_Gllme-1eU/s1600-h/Checking+out+my+Car.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190038422336777330" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAa4cnYDLHI/AAAAAAAAAEU/m_Gllme-1eU/s200/Checking+out+my+Car.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Whitney turned a year old on March 27th and all I can say was that was the fastest year of my life! Her actual birthday fell on a Thursday. Ms. Karen threw Whitney a Tinkerbell party with all of her friends at Humble-Beginnings. She had her first cake and had a great time. That weekend, on Saturday, we celebrated with family and a few friends in the neighborhood. The theme was "Jungle Buddies" and we decorated the house with a bunch of balloons, streamers and posters (of which I drew all by myself). We served lunch to all of Whitney's guests and then enjoyed some cake. Whitney got her own small version of the big cake. I think in the end she ate more icing than cake. Whitney was a great party girl. The party started at noon and lasted until the birthday girl crashed out. Her morning nap never came to fruition and she still managed to stay awake until 3:30pm. She got a ton of great gifts, my personal favorite being the hand painted tea table and chairs from her Aunt Jennifer. All of the gifts were wonderful but this was a gift packed with a lot of hard work and boy does it show-check out this awesome table in the picture-it is truly a work of art! </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;">We look forward to MANY more fun birthdays!!</span></div></div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-14881474366039206182008-04-14T18:23:00.000-07:002008-04-15T09:09:10.588-07:00Easter Day<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAQEaHYDK_I/AAAAAAAAADU/xNTlynj5F40/s1600-h/HPIM1118.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189277517340683250" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAQEaHYDK_I/AAAAAAAAADU/xNTlynj5F40/s320/HPIM1118.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAQEaXYDLAI/AAAAAAAAADc/BhYkKZXqBlM/s1600-h/HPIM1119.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189277521635650562" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAQEaXYDLAI/AAAAAAAAADc/BhYkKZXqBlM/s320/HPIM1119.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />This was Whitney's second Easter to celebrate.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAQEa3YDLBI/AAAAAAAAADk/yZKuO3ioFls/s1600-h/HPIM1124.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189277530225585170" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAQEa3YDLBI/AAAAAAAAADk/yZKuO3ioFls/s320/HPIM1124.JPG" border="0" /></a> Her first Easter she was a week old and the whole thing is kind of a blur. This Easter was a lot of fun. We had brunch with Georgie and Granddad and ended the day with dinner at Grandmas house. Whitney got to visit with the bunny after brunch and she was fascinated. She wanted to pull on his tounge and hug him like she does with her little stuffed animals at home. It was a great day to spend with family.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAQEa3YDLCI/AAAAAAAAADs/B57PU9mTBJU/s1600-h/HPIM1129.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189277530225585186" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SAQEa3YDLCI/AAAAAAAAADs/B57PU9mTBJU/s320/HPIM1129.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-48967811239009935172008-04-13T20:10:00.001-07:002008-04-13T20:29:24.578-07:00Snowy Day<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALOTXYDK6I/AAAAAAAAACs/tTuH7xNoF1Y/s1600-h/HPIM1105a.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188936552771955618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALOTXYDK6I/AAAAAAAAACs/tTuH7xNoF1Y/s200/HPIM1105a.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Maddie was having a great time-I think she was the only one who could have stayed in the snow all day long!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALOTnYDK7I/AAAAAAAAAC0/56WhcK0fYNI/s1600-h/HPIM1106a.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188936557066922930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALOTnYDK7I/AAAAAAAAAC0/56WhcK0fYNI/s200/HPIM1106a.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALOT3YDK8I/AAAAAAAAAC8/RF1n-BHsbaw/s1600-h/HPIM1108.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188936561361890242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALOT3YDK8I/AAAAAAAAAC8/RF1n-BHsbaw/s200/HPIM1108.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALOUXYDK9I/AAAAAAAAADE/axGF3e5z7KE/s1600-h/HPIM1109.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188936569951824850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALOUXYDK9I/AAAAAAAAADE/axGF3e5z7KE/s200/HPIM1109.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALOUnYDK-I/AAAAAAAAADM/Opn3NEjixJs/s1600-h/HPIM1110.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188936574246792162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALOUnYDK-I/AAAAAAAAADM/Opn3NEjixJs/s200/HPIM1110.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALMlXYDK1I/AAAAAAAAACE/yrJNcnfBH2A/s1600-h/HPIM1097.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188934662986345298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALMlXYDK1I/AAAAAAAAACE/yrJNcnfBH2A/s200/HPIM1097.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALMmHYDK2I/AAAAAAAAACM/pSDwNbt0Ybk/s1600-h/HPIM1098a.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188934675871247202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALMmHYDK2I/AAAAAAAAACM/pSDwNbt0Ybk/s200/HPIM1098a.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALMmXYDK3I/AAAAAAAAACU/UNzsOnzhJys/s1600-h/HPIM1100a.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188934680166214514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALMmXYDK3I/AAAAAAAAACU/UNzsOnzhJys/s200/HPIM1100a.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALMmnYDK4I/AAAAAAAAACc/EBch-tgS7AA/s1600-h/HPIM1101.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188934684461181826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALMmnYDK4I/AAAAAAAAACc/EBch-tgS7AA/s200/HPIM1101.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALMm3YDK5I/AAAAAAAAACk/expKKdi5KFs/s1600-h/HPIM1104.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188934688756149138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/SALMm3YDK5I/AAAAAAAAACk/expKKdi5KFs/s200/HPIM1104.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>It doesn't happen very often but when it does you have to take full advantage. It snowed in Lexington and there was TRUE accumulation. It wasn't the type of snowfall you might see in Detroit, Cleveland or Chicago but it was enough to make some snow fun. Friday night (March 14th) Aunt Jennifer came over to the house for a sleepover. A LARGE snowfall was predicted and we had been waiting for a good snow for a long time. By Saturday morning there was approximately 5 inches on the ground and we were ready for this Snowy Day. I had bought Whitney this very cheap snow suit for a trip to Michigan in February (where she got to see her first snowfall)-and we were actually able to use it again here at home. Jennifer, Whitney, Maddie and I all headed to the end of the street and took full advantage of the snow. It was VERY cold and we only lasted 15 minutes-however it was a great time. She was so bundled up that she couldn't really move around but I think she had fun-I know Jennifer, Maddie and I did!!</div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-45833273133942587322008-03-18T17:13:00.000-07:002008-03-18T17:23:07.796-07:00A Work in Progress<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-Bcx--RHmI/AAAAAAAAAAM/HzSqN8a1Yws/s1600-h/HPIM1094.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179241585263582818" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-Bcx--RHmI/AAAAAAAAAAM/HzSqN8a1Yws/s320/HPIM1094.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I just realized I had created a post weeks before Whitney was born and did not publish the post. I never attached pictures because I couldn't figure out how and now I am on a mission (I am probably going to have to call in some help on this whole thing). Now Whitney will be a year old in less than two weeks and I have got to find a way to keep family and friends in the loop. I am not very good about calling people because the time goes by so fast. Once I get this all figured out it is my hope to keep everyone updated on our family. Wish me luck!!</div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983305287386983011.post-74067116508290347662007-02-25T05:28:00.000-08:002008-03-18T17:32:18.019-07:00From the Beginning<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-Be_e-RHuI/AAAAAAAAABM/FrIUT74zHRw/s1600-h/40+Weeks+1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179244016215072482" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-Be_e-RHuI/AAAAAAAAABM/FrIUT74zHRw/s200/40+Weeks+1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-Be1O-RHtI/AAAAAAAAABE/ZUBQtlSSRVA/s1600-h/38+Weeks.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179243840121413330" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-Be1O-RHtI/AAAAAAAAABE/ZUBQtlSSRVA/s200/38+Weeks.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-BetO-RHsI/AAAAAAAAAA8/0ghJb-d7Y-k/s1600-h/34+Weeks.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179243702682459842" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-BetO-RHsI/AAAAAAAAAA8/0ghJb-d7Y-k/s200/34+Weeks.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-BekO-RHrI/AAAAAAAAAA0/S38df57orho/s1600-h/30Weeks.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179243548063637170" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-BekO-RHrI/AAAAAAAAAA0/S38df57orho/s200/30Weeks.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-Bea--RHqI/AAAAAAAAAAs/oSAjZyKJLa0/s1600-h/25Weeks.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179243389149847202" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-Bea--RHqI/AAAAAAAAAAs/oSAjZyKJLa0/s200/25Weeks.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-BeOu-RHpI/AAAAAAAAAAk/T3HOW0watJA/s1600-h/21Weeks.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179243178696449682" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-BeOu-RHpI/AAAAAAAAAAk/T3HOW0watJA/s200/21Weeks.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-BeG--RHoI/AAAAAAAAAAc/3tVdmN4NteY/s1600-h/17+Weeks.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179243045552463490" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-BeG--RHoI/AAAAAAAAAAc/3tVdmN4NteY/s200/17+Weeks.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-Bd-u-RHnI/AAAAAAAAAAU/uTtqXZLkv2U/s1600-h/12+Weeks+2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179242903818542706" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8tfXEPrEdFk/R-Bd-u-RHnI/AAAAAAAAAAU/uTtqXZLkv2U/s200/12+Weeks+2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>We found out we were having a baby on July 17th, 2006-what a mix of emotion. We were certainly excited but also scared to death. You talk about starting a family and decide to take the leap and the next month-what a surprise. The first trimester was not a whole lot of fun. Nausea took over and sleep was a requirement. By the second trimester, I was feeling great. Now we are 36 weeks and two days into the pregnancy-she is expected to arrive on March 23 and we are anxiously awaiting her arrival. My body has obviously taken on many different shapes throughout the last nine months and we thought we would share the transformation.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>EHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263705063707795237noreply@blogger.com0
