Joshua's sleep postition of the day.

I have so much to write about this weekend, but it will have to wait until later. Right now I HAVE to show you how Joshua is sleeping.

She has overcome her fear!

Last year at Grace's end of year program, I had to sit on stage with her.

My completely outgoing child suddenly was overwhelmed with fear.

Fast forward to this past Sunday. My hubby and I have a great routine after church. I pick up Grace, and he gets Anna and Joshua. Grace LOVES to go down the elevator, but last week it wasn't working. So this time we went down the "big stairs" by "big church." My sweet baby surprised me by asking me to go down to the bottom and turn around to watch her.

...she sang!!!

She broke out with "Open the Eyes of My Heart Lord!" It was such a proud moment for me!!

They have been practicing since January and she is so excited for this year! (I only hope she doesn't get stage fright on the night of the program again, maybe I should dress up just in case)

He sleeps...

I love to watch my baby fall asleep. The best part about it is where he falls asleep. I guess being the youngest, you pretty much have to learn to deal with the noise. Joshua deals VERY well with it.

He has been trying to be a big boy and give up his afternoon naps, but sometimes it doesn't work. My energetic baby boy usually hits a wall around 3pm. I have no idea what time he actually was sleeping in these pictures, I am just going on my recollection. (which Rodney will tell you isn't always that reliable, hee hee)

If I were a sweet mommy, I might pick him up and put him in his comfy bed.

Nope, I have to get pictures first!

It's Been Almost a Year

I have been waiting for this long to post my favorites from our anniversary trip to San Francisco last year. This was our 2 day whirl-wind trip we took for #5. Thank you so much mom for keeping the kids, I am just as thankful today as I was then! It is such a beautiful city and it was the first trip we had taken alone since Rodney and I were engaged!!

I wish I could tell you exactly where Bob's is because they have incredible pancakes!! I don't know what they use, but I want to go back just to eat them!

Thank you so much to my BFF for suggesting the trip to Muir Woods. I can't believe how amazing the trees were. I'm sure no one is surprised that by the time we got out of there, Rodney was exhausted from having to pose for my pictures.

He does smile!!

Here is just one more for tonight. Don't you love that smile!

Sweet Baby "C"

I promised I would try and keep up, so here is my second post for the week!!

I had a great session today with a sweet boy. He loves the grass so getting him to look up was a job in itself. Check out the adorable expression on his face in that second picture! I can't wait to get through the rest of the session. I'll post some more sneak peeks for mommy!

I think I'm actually going to start posting to my blog!

It has almost been a year since I set up my blog and time has flown by! I'm not surprised this is only my second post though. English, writing in particular, was never my favorite subject in school.

I hope to keep up with my blog from now on, and promise to try and post at least every few days. Do you think it will happen?? I'm not so sure either, but I'll give it my best!

I have been so inspired by many other blogs I have started to read this past year. I am going to get a list started so you can check them out too! What a great way to keep everyone up to date on what is happening with the family! I am always taking pictures, so I think I'll add some now. Here are just a few "snapshots" of the family that I have taken recently.
