The Santa Experience 2009

Lauryn absolutely LOVED Santa!!!


Jenna...not so much :(

Happy Halloween!

So Cute It's Scary...

Just had to share a picture of the girls in their Halloween jammies. This was last week when they were both under the weather...hence the dark circles under Lauryn's eyes. :( But still as cute as ever in my eyes and so happy to be feeling better! :)

October pictures

Just a few new photos to share...

Lauryn on a very cold October day. She was very excited for the snow...Mom, well not so much!

Lauyrn getting a drink from the hose...another favorite thing about summer! :)

Mom's Weekend to Work

Jake does such an awesome job when I work the weekend. It's a long weekend, 12 hour shifts, Saturday and Sunday. He always does fun things with the girls! Lauryn and Jenna just love the fun Daddy time, but are also ready to see Mommy that night.

Here is the HUGE tent they made last weekend in the living room.

Lauryn is always ready for a round of ROCKBAND! :)

Mom get's lots of hugs and kissed when she gets home!



And DELICIOUS supper from Daddy-

Thai Chicken Satay served over pea pods & rice

New Camera

I have been wanting to upgrade my camera and take some photography classes for quite sometime now. Well my camera (that I really loved) got a drink of water and quit working so I recently took the plunge and purchased a new Canon. So far I LOVE it! Just wish I knew more and haven't been able to get into a class yet. Hopefully soon! Here are some images from a trip to the park.

We Love Summer!

We all LOVE it when Jake cooks on the grill!

Especially when he makes ribs! :)

It's Moments Like These...

That simply take my breath away and make me glow inside. I just absolutely adore these girls and love being a mom! Jenna is so into giving hugs and kisses these days and it's just awesome!

Summertime

Summertime has been filled with fun for us! We can't believe it's almost over! Here are some pictures from a great trip to Iowa (my Mom and Dad's and to my brother's house) for "bacation" as Lauryn calls it! :)

Lauryn & Carly, my friend Schay's daughter.

Schay and I grew up across the street from one another and were (and still are) very close friends. It is really fun watching these two play together!

Lauryn swimming at Uncle Jason's house

Jenna really likes the water too!

Have a safe and happy July 4th weekend!!!

Happy Father's Day!

Jenna Grace

Jenna is 7 months already! Where has the time gone? She finally decided she could sit up so I am having a blast capturing pictures of her!



They don't look a little bit alike do they??!!

Another favorite photo...

Just another one of my favorites of the girls

Naptime

It's a beautiful thing..love the way the girls look when they are sleeping (or pretending to like Lauryn is in the photo)! Also love the peace and quiet now and then! :)

Catching Up

We have a lot of photos to share! This is Lauryn on her last night of 'school', the early childhood education program we attended this semester. She was extra excited because it was banquet night so Daddy and Jenna got to come too!

Lauryn & Jenna at Uncle Jason's house, Jenna's first time swimming...think she's going to love it!
