I AM SOOOO SLACK!!!!!

WELL, I HAVE A LOT OF CATCHING UP TO DO! THE PICTURE OF THE 3 GIRLS IS AHNNA LEIGH WITH MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND, MELISSA'S 2 GIRLS, ZOE AND CAMDEN. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT WE MET WHEN WE WERE 6 AND 7 YEARS OLD AND NOW OUR CHILDREN ARE 8,5, AND 2. ALSO, AHNNA LEIGH FINALLY STARTED WALKING ON OCTOBER 22. I AM SO EXCITED. SHE IS WALKING ALL OVER THE PLACE NOW. LASTLY, I PUT A PICTURE OF AHNNA LEIGH IN HER DRESS UP CLOTHES WE GAVE HER FOR HER BIRTHDAY. SHE IS SUCH A GIRLY GIRL AND I LOVE IT. WELL, I PROMISE TO KEEP UP MU BLOGGING FROM NOW ON. KEEP CHECKING IN WITH ME FOR UPDATES!

WELL, WE JUST HAD AHNNA LEIGH'S SECOND BIRTHDAY, BUT IT WAS HER FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY! WE WANTED IT TO BE SPECIAL SINCE NO ONE HAS CELEBRATED HER BIRTH BEFORE. BUT WE DEFINATELY WANTED TO CELEBRATE AND SHOW HOW HAPPY WE ARE THAT SHE WAS BORN. I DECIDED THAT I WANTED TO MAKE HER CAKE. WITH ZACH'S HELP WE GOT IT DONE BY 2:00 SATURDAY MORNING. THE PARTY WAS AT 11:00. SHE LOVED BEING THE CENTER OF ATTENTION, ESPECIALLY WHEN EVERYBODY SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HER. SHE DIDN'T MAKE A HUGE MESS OUT OF HER CAKE EITHER. SHE'S SUCH A PRISSY LITTLE GIRLY GIRL! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AHNNA LEIGH!!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY SWEET LITTLE BABY IS 2 YEARS OLD TODAY! WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY! THE DAY THIS PRECIOUS GIRL WAS BORN OUR LIVES STARTED TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER AND GOD'S PLAN FOR OUR FAMILY BEGAN TO UNFOLD! GOD IS SO GOOD!

FIRST TRIP TO DISNEY WORLD!

LAST WEEK WAS AHNNA LEIGH'S FIRST TRIP TO DISNEY WORLD! ZACH'S FAMILY GOES ALL THE TIME AND WE WERE SO EXCITED TO TAKE HER WITH US THIS TIME. TAKING OUR CHILD TO DISNEY WAS A PARENT'S DREAM. WE WENT TO "MICKEY'S NOT SO SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY". IT WAS GREAT AND WE HAD A BALL. OUR LITTLE PRINCESS WAS THE PRETIEST SNOW WHITE OF THEM ALL!

FIRST BEACH TRIP!

THIS SUMMER AHNNA LEIGH EXPERIENCED THE OCEAN FOR THE FIRST TIME. SINCE ZACH'S MOM AND STEPDAD HAVE A BEACH HOUSE SHE HAS BEEN THERE PLENTY, BUT IT WAS WAY TO COLD TO SPEND TIME ON THE BEACH. SHE DIDN'T MIND THE SAND AND SHE LOVED THE WATER, BUT WHEN THE WAVES COVERED HER FEET AND SHE COULDN'T SEE THEM, SHE WAS NOT VERY HAPPY. A WEEK AFTER WE LEFT A 7 YEAR OLD BOY WAS BITTEN BY A SHARK AT THE EXACT SAME PLACE WE HAD BEEN! ALL I CAN SAY IS I HOPE SHE LIKED THE OCEAN BECAUSE SHE'S NOT GETTING BACK IN IF I CAN HELP IT. NOW, LET ME EXPLAIN THE PUPPY DOG PICTURE. THE SECOND NIGHT WE WERE AT THE BEACH WE WENT SHOPPING. MY PARENTS, SISTER, AND I TOOK AHNNA LEIGH INTO THE DISNEY STORE WHILE ZACH AND MY SISTER'S FIANCE WENT TO GET THE CAR. SHE WAS SLEEPY AND CRANKY AND HER AUNT ERIN GAVE HER A PUPPY TO MAKE HER HAPPY. SHE SAID, "WOOF!" AND ROCKED THE PUPPY BACK AND FORTH. ERIN SAID, "YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO GET HERE THAT RIGHT?" SO I SAID I WOULD GET IT. WELL, MY DAD POINTED OUT THE STUFFED ANIMALS WERE 2 FOR $20 OR 1 FOR $15. SO, BARGAIN SHOPPER THAT I AM, I HAD TO FIND HER ANOTHER ONE. WE TRIED TO GET HER TO TAKE PLUTO, MAREI FROM THE ARISTOCATS, THUMPER, MICKEY MOUSE AND EVEN MULAN, BUT NO! MY CHILD WANTED TWIN DALMATION PUPPIES. SO, 2 DOWN 99 TO GO. (GET IT? 2+99=101, 101 DALMATIONS! HA HA!) IT WAS A GREAT TRIP! CAN'T WAIT TO POST FOR OUR NEXT TRIP WHICH IS TO DISNEY WORLD RIGHT BEFORE AHNNA LEIGH'S SECOND BIRTHDAY! SO IF I DON'T POST UNTIL THEN I'LL TALK TO YA'LL LATER!

YEAHY FOR BEST FRIENDS AND BABIES!

WELL, I'M A LITTLE LATE POSTING THIS. WE, OK, ALMOST 6 WEEKS LATE. BUT BETTER LATE THAN NEVER! ANYWAY, ON JULY 30 OUR VERY BEST FRIENDS IN THE WHOLE WORLD WELCOMED THEIR DAUGHTER, EMMA, TO THE WORLD! WE ARE SOOOO HAPPY FOR THEM. WE KNOW SH E'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING, BUT WORTH THE WAIT. AHNNA LEIGH ALREADY SEEMS TO LIKE HER BUT I THINK SHE THINKS EMMA IS A BABY DOLL. OH WELL,SHE'LL LEARN. BUT UNTIL SHE DOES WE HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON HER. RIGHT NOW SHE LOVES TO ROCK AND KISS BABIES, WHICH IS FINE, BUT WHEN SHE'S FINISHED SHE JUST THROWS THEM ON THE GROUND! ANYWAY, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO HAVE SUCH GREAT FRIENDS AND THAT OUR LITTLE GIRLS CAN GROW UP TOGETHER!

I'VE BEEN A MAMA FOR A YEAR?!?

I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE THAT A YEAR AGO I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW MY PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL EVEN EXISTED. I KNEW THERE WAS A BABY OUT THERE FOR US, BUT I HAD NO IDEA WHO SHE WAS. WHAT A WONDERFUL YEAR IT HAS BEEN! I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE THAT REFERRAL PICTURE IS OF THE SAME CHILD. SHE HAS GROWN SO MUCH STRONGER, AND BIGGER. WE ARE SOOOO THANKFUL TO HAVE OUR LITTLE AHNNA LEIGH IN OUR LIVES AND WE HOPE SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH SHE IS LOVED BY EVERYONE! PRAISE THE LORD! GOD IS SO GOOD!
