what can I say

Wow, my last post was June 2....I haven't felt all that great and have been extremely tired the last few months...at least thats my excuse. I am now 25 weeks preggo and I now feel wonderful. I have my energy back, which this is about the same time I started feeling good with Micah too.

We have been doing a lot, we went to the beach with my family, which was so much fun. Micah has gone fishing multiple times with her daddy. And we just went to the lake for the first time this summer with all of Josh's family.

We just finalized a baby boy name, however the order is still not finalized. Brandt Kaleb or Kaleb Brandt...we are probably going to call him Brandt.

Sorry this post is so random, just trying to catch up!!

Here's to a Happy Ending!

After a starting the year with a heartbreak with a miscarriage in Feb., we are excited that the year is going to end great with a sweet baby due Dec. 9. Praise God for everything He has done for our family and for what He is continually doing.

We are very excited to announce the news of our little one, however, I have been so cautious this time around, just due to being scared of another loss. I'm realizing how much I have to keep giving this child over to the Lord. We are now 13 weeks and I was able to hear the sweet heartbeat yesturday. Praise God!

It's been neat the things that God has shown me the first 13 weeks. at around 7 weeks pregnant, I wokeup around 2 in the morning and couldn't sleep due to having anxiety about losing this child. God brought the song "He's got the tiny little babies, in His hands" to my head and I have literally played this song in my head everytime I wanted to get nervous. I know God was saying "I'm holding this child, you have to trust me!" His word says that "He knits us together in our mothers womb"...for those that know how to knit, you can't knit anything without holding onto it with both hands. Praise God He holds our babies in both His hands! Whether they are in heaven with Him or still in our womb. :) What better hands for our children to be in!

I still have anxiety from time to time, but I keep singing my little song that God has given me and try to trust Him regardless of what happens. Praise God we have a Saviour that loves us so much!

This is how I told Josh we were pregnant! Don't stress out, the test is in a ziploc baggie! :) Needless to say, he was surprised!

My little Easter Bunny

Just a few pics to highlight the week. This was Micah's first time to dye eggs....she did a great job and then we painted them. Enjoy the pics!

I ask her to smile, and this is what she does!

Gotta love Josh's shorts and boots look!

Where do I start!

Where do I begin???? We have been soo busy these last few months, that I just realized I haven't blogged in almost two months. We have gone through a lot over the last months and God has worked on my heart so much! ( although it has been hard learning the lessons I am, I'm thankful for everything that I have gone through) (maybe later I can add details) I'm asking for prayers as we (mostly me) are going through crazzzyyy emotions right now and that I can rest in God's peace and trust Him with every aspect of my life! Switching gears - I can't end a post without a few pics! We had a baby shower for a friend a church and this was the first cake I made for someone outside of my family. It turned out ok, but I hope to continue to get better! I just love planning for cakes. My sweet Micah and her best friend (and cousin) Tilly Jade!

I love micah's expression in this picture! That girl cracks me up!

Princess Micah is Two!!

Micah turned two on Feb. 13th...I can hardly believe it! I am loving this age, of course it has it's ups and downs, but all ages do.

Here are some pics of her Princess Party!

She actually was able to blow her candles out this year..I was so proud!

One of her friends gave her this pillow and her response couldn't have been better!

My Sweet Princess!

She definately has the gift opening thing down

Her new table and chairs that Emmi and D gave her

Princess sugar cookies

The cake I made her...it was prettier in my head...we had some technical defficulties with it falling apart...that's why the fondant is so lumpy..oh well, it still tasted good!

Fun in the lack of sun!

I was so excited to be snowed in today with my sweet husband and prescious baby girl. We were able to get daddy to take a break from his school and come play outside with us. So much fun and way too many pictures!! Enjoy!

Micah was trying to throw a snow ball back at her daddy...she was having a hard time figuring it out.

She thinks she's big stuff walking down the road by herself.

Our homemade sled..worked pretty well with the dog leash attached to it.

I just love this girl!
