Baby Dedication Day






Well today was Baby Dedication day at Cross Point Christian Church, where we attend. It was a wonderful day. Basically we went on stage and commited to raising Annabell to know and Love the Lord and we were prayed for by the congregation. I was so excited for this day. We bought Annabell a new dress, which was really hot for her but too cute, and invited alot of family and friends to come watch. By the time we were going on stage Annabell was getting pretty sleepy so Brad rocked her to sleep during the dedication while on stage. She did really well. After that her Grandma aka Peggy got to hold her and take care of her while in the nursery. Yes, yes, I have finally put her in the nursery. It was her 2nd weekend in there and she did great. She was really tire so she slept most of the time. Well Annabell will be 4 months tomorrow! I can't believe how fast she is growing! She is soooo close to rolling over, she arches her back so far when on the floor, tonight Brad and I both held our breath for a second thinking we were both about to see her roll over for the first time; but she just came close to doing so and then got bored. Well Halloween is wednesday and we are going to a friends for dinner and so the babys can have a play date, so I'm sure I'll have some more photos up soon. Love you all!

Pumpkin Patch





















Well last week a group of us decided to take our kids to the pumpkin patch (in florida it's really just a parking lot with hay swirled around and pumpkins on the ground...ha). We dressed them up in halloween colors and took them out. It was alot of fun, it was kind of cloudy and sprinkling but the babies still enjoyed the pretty colors, and I believe the moms had even more fun! I didn't want to go out and buy a costume for Annabell this year so I just put her in some Pumpkin colors and used a pumpkin hat we bought for a dollar at Target. But since the colors were so neutral I thought people might think she's a boy. So jokingly I tied a huge bow on her head. Rachel thought it was so funny and we both thought it was adorable so I left it. She was so good about having it in her hair. Well Annabell realy enjoyed it, were there about an hour and then we pulled out my bumbo seat and had the children take turns sitting in it for pictures. She was the last one to sit down for her picture and she was so tired that she started crying for about 2 seconds before she conked out...she was soooo sleepy. This is Annabell and her best friend Lillia sleeping in the car when we got home. Well I hope ya'll like the photo's. I will update more often! Love ya'll!

Cousins

-Brad and his sister taking a picture together just after seeing one another for the first time since she arrived in Florida.











Well today was alot of fun for Annabell! We went to Mima and Papa's house and she met her Aunt Michelle, Uncle Matt, and Cousin Madelyn! It was so cute to see them together! Maddie seems alot older but they are only a week apart, but she has just grown like a weed! She is TOO cute! It was so cute to see them together finally. They were both such blessings to Michelle and I; and to know that they were created by God only a week apart is really special! Here are some pictures of the girls together. They both ended up crashing from playing so hard. They took a nap together in Grandma' and Big Pops room. Well tomorrow they are going to see one of their great grandmas, so I'll keep you updated! Love ya'll!

Day at the Park...










Well today we got up and hung out for a little bit before Tabi and her boys, Mason and Camden came over to play and go on a walk with us. We then had lunch and went to the park. It was a really hot day but in the shade it wasn't too bad with the breeze. Annabell has actually enjoyed being outside alot lately. She is getting so big so fast! We also have had a break-through with her belly time! PRAISE GOD! It has been so hard for me but she has done wonderful the last two days! Yesterday I decided to not give up on trying to put her on her belly, thanks to my sister in law, and finally she took to it yesterday. She held her head up really well until she became sleepy and then she just took a nap on her belly; but since then she has done wonderfully with belly time. Well tomorrow we are going to our first birthday party, Annabell's friend Belicia is turning one! I'll send some photos', we might take a chance in the pool! We'll see though. Love ya'll!

October Days






Well Annabell and I were pooped out from Brad aka Daddy's birthday. So we took a late morning nap today and her Dad snapped a photo of us snoozing. She was sweating a ton and her hair all curled up on the sides of her head. She looks like she's covering her face as if hiding from the paparatzi (spelling?). Anyways, for Brads b-day we all hung out at home per his request. Annabell and I did do a little shopping for him and her yesterday while he was mowing a lawn. When we went to Kohls I decided to carry her instead of taking in her car seat because she had been in it for a while. Carrying her actually saved us money because I could only do it for so long until I needed to go back to the car. ha. Well one of the things she got was a Bumbo seat. She loves it, she really enjoys sitting up like a big girl, she's not so big on tummy time but loves the chair!






Well we got her dad some work boots, Fantastic 4 movie, a T-shirt, socks, card, and love for his b-day. We got up and made him breakfast, and I went and got him Sushi for dinner per his request. We also went on a walk as a family, which is the first time in a while because Brad works so hard for us. And before then we played catch! It was fun except Brad throws soooo hard that it bruised my hand! ha. So everything is going great. Well I'll try to update more later...take care
