7 months?! Really Annie?!

ok ok....so I'm not the best at this blogging thing. Actually, I believe I am a great blogger but I am an even better procrastinator. There have been so many changes from the last blog. In the last one I had started a brand new job...but just recently, in March, I started a career. I am now a teacher at Kiddie Academy and have a class of 4-year olds that I love to death. The best thing is that I can see Elle all day long now while I am at work. How cool is that?!

We do not have our puppy Maysie anymore. :( It's sad to talk about but she got too much of a handful and we were not home enough to give her what she needed. We found such a good home for her with Taylor! Thank you so much for taking and loving our baby. She is doing so well and I'm so grateful that we found her a loving home. I know we did what is best for her and for us but I still miss her.

But probably the biggest change has been the arrival of 3 new babies into our family. First came Katy Elizabeth, born October 5, 2009 weighing in at 6lbs 8oz. Then just 2 days later, my sister Amy had her baby girl, Sophia Grace. She was born October 7, 2009 and weighed 8lbs 1oz. Then just recently, my sister in law samantha had her baby boy 4 weeks early. His name is Joseph Edward and was born on March 4, 2010. He weighed 5 lbs 7oz. SO...that is it so far. lol. I know, alot of babies in a short amount of time but they are a blessing and the fact that they are all healthy is amazing.

Halloween was so much fun. Elle didn't want to wear the costume we bought her so at the last second I had to come up with this. Not bad huh?


Elle's 3rd birthday was great. We had her birthday in the park and invited her school friends and teachers and family and friends. It was a wonderful day of celebration.



We went to Disneyland for my 28th birthday! What a great time! Brad and Kristy took me out and we had a ball. .
And disneyland....well, it's Disneyland!! We had so much fun and Elle had a blast. I'm so thankful for my family and everything we get to do together.

Christmas was awesome as always. Elle got sooooo much crap it's ridiculous! But she deserved it. She's such an amazing little girl. Seriously, I don't know how I got so lucky.We went to Flagstaff and played in the snow in January. She was so cute in her little snowsuit. We had so much fun!




Our anniversary was great at the Melting Pot and on Ollie's birthday we went to the Shouthouse! Which is now our new favorite place to go. We had a busy January but it was fantastic. February and March just kind of drifted by. We had Samantha's shower at the end of February and then she had the baby.


All these babies have me gloomy though I must admit. We have been trying for 18 months for another addition to the family and it seems impossible at this point. I know alot of people have gone through this and have waited much longer but I'm not a patient person. lol. Especially when it's concerning something that I cannot control. It is almost annoying that everyone is having babies but me. Is it weird to think that something is wrong with me?? Well, I know that's ridiculous but I can't help thinking that way sometimes.

We are going to try and put that on a backseat for now. If I let it consume me too much then it hurts worse every month when the test comes back negative. So, my priorities now are God, Elle, Ollie, family, and job in that order. I believe that as long as I have faith and hope then the time will come....I just hope it doesn't take too long!!! I'm dying here. :) lol

Easter was bittersweet. We were supposed to have a fun-filled day with the family. Instead, we had an e.r. visit because we thought Elle was having an emergency case of appendicitis! It was scary but thank the Lord, she was okay. They are not sure what was wrong with her but we are just supposed to keep an eye on her. (Picture of this event to come soon) :)

That's about it...Hope everyone else is doing well! I'll try and not be a stranger!
