It's CHRISTmas!!

I'm a little behind on posting pics...sorry!


This was thanksgiving at Josh's brothers house.

Josh made me this birthday cake...He made homemade icing and everything...I have the best husband ever!!

I got to keep my neice, Tilly, the other night. It was alot of fun. Tilly was so much easier to take care of than a 10 month old.

Tilly trying to read to Micah.

I love this picture...Micah is trying so hard to have a conversation with Tilly.

Hanging out in my Christmas PJ's

trying to get a few Christmas pics since I'm moving next week and won't be putting up our tree.
However, I might change my mind once I'm moved in.

This one is my favorite!!

We sold our first house!

Sorry, no pictures today...However, after four days on the market, we sold our first home of almost 5 years. This is bitter-sweet for me, but it is definately a God thing. We weren't looking for a new home, but have already maxed out our two bedroom since Micah arrived. Josh's sweet grandmother passed away a couple of months ago and after that, we were approached by the daughters to buy the house. Again, totally had to have alot of time in prayer, because we can't afford a whole lot more than what we already have and still be able to save money. So, after much prayer, we decided to buy the home. It is 2500 sf, with four bedrooms and an extra bonus area upstairs for the kiddos - or just Micah. I'm so excited, except for the fact that we have to be out of this house by December 17...and the new house has to be completely remodeled, which is my cup of tea. I'm just not a big fan of Micah's first Christmas being in an unfinished house...I know, she won't know the difference, but momma will. You just want the best for you child.

Oh, and we had the inspection for our current home last Friday, and had zero repairs. Again, this is definately a God thing and please keep us in your prayers as we approach this new change in our lives. I did tell Josh that we have alot more room for more babies :)

My Little Flower

Micah's first halloween...she was my cute, little flower. There wasn't much trick or treating for her. We just went to both grandparents house and Josh's aunts house. Micah loved the attention to say the least.

Micah hanging out with my mom

For some reason, my dad scares Micah, but tonight she didn't cry. I was so proud of her because I hate it when she doesn't want my dad to hold her. I'm sure she will grow out of it eventually.

When we went to Jan's(Josh's aunt) she gave Micah her first sucker.

As you can tell, she thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't worry, we only let her suck on it for a couple of minutes.

Jan has a new buddy because of that sucker.

When we went to Josh's parents house, Micah didn't get candy, but a new toy. She already loves it. When we finally got home she crawled around the floor chasing it. It was too cute.

Nanna and grandpa with the flower.

Daddy lovin on his baby.

Isn't that the cutest flower you have ever seen?

I love this picture.

Family Farm

A couple of weeks ago our church went to Family Farm for a fellowship. This was Micah's first time to actually meet farm animals. It was so cute. Out of all of the animals, she was scared of the sheep that they had there. Not sure why, but when we got her close to it, she started crying. She did however love the pony!


This is Micah eating some hay. It's funny how they get so intrigued with the small things.



Micah and her friend Addi from church. Micah already knows how to share. I'm such a proud mom!

Not sure what she's doing here, just hanging out.

I think Addi wanted that particular piece of hay that Micah had.

They had the cutest little train for the little kids to ride. Micah didn't actually ride it, we just sat her in it for a picture.

The goat really liked Micah's shoes.

There is the cute pony that Micah liked.

My adorable baby and cute husband. I love them so much!

First Family Vacation

We just took our first family vacation as three. I was so exicited just to get out of the house. We went to Big Cedar Lodge... in Branson, MO., which I highly recommend for those that just love outdoors. It was absolutely beautiful this time of year.


One of the many waterfalls around the lodge.



Cabins you can stay in at the lodge. (We couldn't afford those)

Josh and Micah...everyone says she looks like him, but I don't see it.

My sweet baby and me!

Family PIC!

Micah was getting tired of taking pictures by this point! Notice the pouty face. I still think its pretty cute.

Now that is my happy baby.

Micah riding her first horse, however, it was a corn husk horse. I'm sure the grandparents will have her on a real one soon!

We went to "Noahs Ark the Musical" and look who was there filming for their reality tv show. "The Duggars" - they have the show 18 kids and counting on TLC ( if you didn't know).. and she is expecting no. 19 in March. Crazy.. all of the kiddos were there as well. They are from Arkansas too.

Pretty baby girl posing with the pumpkins. I just love fall!

I'm torn on which picture to have blown up for her room.

I think this is my favorite.

Catching Up!!

I know I haven't blogged in awhile, but thats because I have been out of town for about a week. Josh and I just got back from Vegas for my work trip. It killed me to leave Micah, but it allowed me to have four wonderful date nights with my husband. You forget how important that alone time is after you have a baby. Anyways, here are a few pics from our trip and some more of Micah that I have been meaning to post.


Our dress up date night to the "Blue Man Group" show.
This was my favorite show so far that I have seen in Vegas.



Don't ask me why I took this one. Just had too.



Let me explain, we were on the third row for the blue man group
show, which meant we got to wear those beautiful ponchos to keep
the colored water off of us during the show. They worked, we didn't
get wet!



This was my grandpas 98th birthday last Saturday.
My beautiful sister, Keeli, and beautiful sister-in-law, Leslie.
I am missing one sister, not sure where she was.



The most adorable neice ever. Gotta love this picture.

Me, Micah and my papa.

Aren't these shoes the cutest. My mother in law got them

for Micah. She has on the matching dress too.

Micah loving on her aunt Leslie

Tilly loves Micah. Notice how she already knows how to

multi-task. Feed baby and herself at the same time. What a

girl.


My sweet baby.

Daddy reading to Micah. I think she was more interested

with her butterfly.

First time in the high chair. I know, I told you I was a little

behind on posting pics.

First time in the big tub!! She loved it.

I had to have a "happy ending!" She's going to hate me for

this one day.
