Amber's Baby Shower 2-13-10

This past Saturday, my Mom & I threw one of our dear friends a baby shower. Amber is due with a little girl, Braelyn Grace, in March. She has an older daughter from who she saved all her clothes & toys, so she really didn't need much! So we decided to give her a diaper shower...and I think they are set for a long while on diapers!!! We had such a good time & enjoyed celebrating the upcoming birth of another sweet little girl!!!

Amber & I...isn't she the cutest pregnant girl ever...ALL belly!!!
What a sweet family!
Amber with her grandmother, mother, daughter, niece, sister, & sister-in-law
Her adorable niece, Emilee...look at those cheeks!!
Our friend Brittney with her sweet, baby Jack!
C&H greeting their new friend, Cameron! They were so cute together!
Baby showers are hard work...Cooper pooped out before it was over! I asked my nieces to come & help with C&H cause I knew I couldn't keep my eyes on them all the time & be a good hostess too! I couldn't have done it without them...thank you girls!

Congrats Amber, John, & Morgan...I can't wait to meet the new addition to your family!!!

14 Months Old!

Wow...are our babies really 14 months old??? They amaze me everyday at what they are learning & doing...I swear they get cuter & cuter everyday, if that is possible!!

*both have 8 teeth
*both are wearing size 4 diapers
*both are wearing 18-24 months clothes
*Cooper is finally walking & getting better everyday!
*Hadley is mastered walking & is practically running
*favorite foods are grilled cheese, hot dogs, mandarin oranges,
pears, & scrambled eggs
*Hadley's vocabulary is really starting to take off
*both are loving to look at books & be read to
*Hadley is obsessed 'dog-ees'
*Cooper is still obsessed with his finger up his nose!
*Most days one nap is enough, but Cooper sometimes needs his afternoon nap
*both always get a morning & bedtime bottle & we are really working on sippy cups w/milk at lunch time (Cooper still gets this bottle occasionally when he refuses his sippy)


February 11, 2008 still holds a bitter sweet place in my mind. I don't think I will every forget that horrible feeling when we found out that our first IVF had failed. Looking back now, we wouldn't be where we are at today without going through what we went through and we are so thankful for the two sweet, 14 month old blessings we have in our lives right now! We couldn't be any happier!

We did receive some bad news today and I don't want to go into any details on my blog, but I wanted to ask for your prayers. Please pray for peace, comfort, & resilience for some of our family members! Your prayers are greatly appreciated!!

up & try again! He is getting more confident daily & is so proud of himself! You will

Rachel Ray Giveaway!!!

Wanna win this AWESOME Rachel Ray Dutch Oven??? Head on over to Jenna's Journey & check out her great giveaway!!!

Our Little Mozarts!!!

C&H LOVE to play the piano every time they go to their MeMe & Sweet Pa's house, so for Christmas they got them each a baby grand piano. I finally got around to assembling one today while they napped. They were so excited to see their surprise when they woke up! They loved it and fought over who was going to play...imagine that!!! I guess that means I'll be assembling the other one soon!!

Climbing on the Couch!

Since C&H are still unable to climb up on the couch by themselves, they think it's a treat to get up there & they love to chase each other up & down the couch! You can see the excitement in their faces! I am trying to enjoy their excitement while it lasts cause I know someday soon they will be big enough to climb up their by themselves & it will be no big deal! I adore these pictures!
