Our Little Ballerina


For Maddie's birthday we are getting her dance lessons. As I have been looking for classes, something about it has made me really sad!! Happy but sad, I don't know it just makes her feel like a big girl, like not my baby anymore!! She is so excited and I know she will be the star of the class!

I Can't Believe He is 4 Months Old

This onery little boy apparently read my last post about him. The stinker has been waking up consistenly at 3:00 and last night it was 2:30!! Then the little guy just wanted to snack from 4:00 on!!! Hmm, hoping this changes. He is teething, he drools constantly and bites at everything. Maybe that is to blame?? I don't know.
Madison reads to Isaiah daily, it's soo cute!


Madison LOVES giving him his bath!

Isaiah loves his bath!


Somebody came up to me at church on Sunday and said, "Well you can't deny who his mama is, he looks just like you." I had to give her a hug because nobody ever says that!!!!!!


And if you can't tell I am LOVING being able to blog again!!!!





Fun with Daddy


I will dance with Cinderella while she is here in my arms, I know something the prince never knew

Cause all too soon the clock with strike midnight and she'll be gone.

Little Man


I really cannot even put into words how much I love this little guy. He is such a blessing. There is something so special about being a mommy to a boy and I am so thankful I am experiencing it. Isaiah is such a happy baby, I was thinking today about how it really has been a couple of weeks since I heard him cry, I mean cry cry. He lets out his little squeals to let me know what he wants but he really doesn't cry. I am thankful, I can't stand the sound of crying! Oh and the smiles, all I have to do is look his direction and there is a smile for his mama. He will spot me from across the room and his eyes just light up. He is definately a mama's boy already!
I remember hearing stories from other mom's who would say, yea they just started sleeping through the night and I thought, "You didn't have to do anything??" Now I know what they are talking about. For several weeks now, Isaiah just sleeps through the night!! He usually wakes up about 6, one morning it was 7:30, that was wonderful!! I'm just praying it continues!
Isaiah is one of those babies who makes you think you could have 10 more!
















What a Memory




Madison had somewhat of a tramatic experience shortly after Christmas. She was all excited to be the flower girl in one of her favorite people (Emily's) wedding. She looked beautiful in her dress, practiced great at the rehearsal dinner and the big day was here. She was bouncing around in the bride room, I thought, "Oh good, she is going to do great, she will probably wave and smile walking down the aisle." Not so.... Since I was a bridesmaid I had to walk out earlier than her, this did not set well and she wanted to walk out with me. It was all down hill from there, she did not want to walk down the aisle, in fact she wouldn't walk down the aisle, mawny (my mom) met her halfway down and walked with her, Maddie's little head was down the whole time, she didn't look at one person. So, she made it or well kind of, right as she got to me finally she tripped, yes, she tripped and fell FLAT!!!!!! It was awful, she cried MOMMY, as Antaun tried to take her out. Wow, what a memory for the poor little flower girl!! But the wedding was beautiful and Madison recovered quickly!
Congrats Emily and Tyler!!

Our Big Three Year Old

Antaun and I were just talking about how we can't believe we have a three year old!!!!! We celebrated with a princess party!! And we are very proud of our three year old, she is officially potty trained AND before her third birthday!!! WOOO-HOOO!!!


So it's not really like the picture but hey at least you can tell what it is right??
I really love this picture!

Mommy and Maddie being silly!
I love my Maddie. We are so thankful for three years with this precious little girl, she is so full of life.
A few of my favorites lately...
Mommy, wouldn't it be neat if we could fly in an airplane to heaven and see Jesus, I wouldn't even be scared.
Importive (Important)
Awhile ago she saw the part in my hair and said, "Mommy you have a sidewalk!!!!"
She says on a consistent basis in this little high pitch voice, "Isaiah is just so cute, he is just so playful."
Revotion (Devotion)
I love watching Maddie sing and dance with Barney, the other day she said, "Mommy when I am on Barney, I'm gonna do it like this."

I miss the internet!!!!!
















Well in effort to save money and not waste time, we don't have the internet at our new house. I really didn't think I would miss it at all but I do!!!!! Here are a few recent pictures. Isaiah is the SWEETEST little baby. He is a very easy baby and I am so thankful. He smiles all the time, he is very happy. What a blessing!

Happy Fall


Always my baby, even though she looks so big.

Maddie and I had fun making sugar cookies for the elderly people at the nursing home. I couldn't keep Maddie out of the frosting.






I love how you can see the finger print!
Well, life is different, much different but good. I am glad those first few weeks are over!! Things seem more normal now. We had a baby, moved and Antaun started youth ministry all at the same time. It was a little nuts and we still dont have pictures on our walls but things are good.
Isaiah is a very sweet baby and Madison does great with him. She is actually a very good help to me. We are thankful. We dont have the internet at our new house so blogs won't be as often!
Love you all.




My Blue Eyed Boy

This picture was taken yesterday, 5 weeks old






His fingers and toes are so incredibly long!








5 weeks old

Ok so you can't really tell by these pictures, but my little boy has my eyes!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited and yea, they could change but I am enjoying it now. Maddie's were always a very deep brown and so many of her features are Antaun that I enjoy that he has a little piece of me!!!
