Happy Fall!

Once again it has been a long time since I've posted. Since my last post, KJ has turned 3 YEARS OLD! I can't even believe it. It seems like I just had the little guy. We had two really great birthday parties for him, Phineas & Ferb themed, of course. It's fun to watch how excited they get as they get older and know more of what's going on. We had fun with family and friends and it was great to spend time with everyone. Here are a few pictures from his parties in Shelton and here at home.







KJ is such a smart little boy. I need to get on the ball and start doing more pre-school activities with him, he loves to learn and I really need to take advantage of that! He's such a wonderful son and he sure loves his little sister who loves him right back! Love that little guy!

Little Miss Lainee is growing, growing! She is our feisty kid, for sure. She has started throwing fits, fits where she throws herself down on the ground and just cries and cries or she will get angry and want to hit whatever is in sight. Luckily, they seem to be getting better and I hope it's something she grows out of REALLY soon. She, like her brother, is also very smart. She's started to understand everything we tell her or ask her do and she likes to "talk" more and more. She still doesn't say many words but just the fact that she is becoming more vocal is pretty exciting. I'm sure she will be a chatterbox soon enough. Despite her orneriness, she can be the sweetest little thing at times and we just love her to pieces! We are so blessed to have two adorable, healthy, awesome children with another on the way!

As for #3, this pregnancy has been going really well. We should be able to find out what the little squirt is in the next few weeks. We are getting a lot of boy guesses, so we will see who is right when the time comes. Feel free to make a guess on our guessing game:

Chad has been keeping really busy at work and is only about to get busier. He is going to be working a night shift for a little while as they have a big order they are working on and then once they are done with that, he will be heading off to Japan for about a week on business. It's going to be strange not having him here for that long. We've only spent one night apart since we were married, it will be an adjustment, but at least it's only for a week.

I've been working on my photography business. I have a few shoots coming up and I've been trying to get some holiday cards done in hopes I might get some orders of those. I'm enjoying it. It doesn't keep me too busy, but I don't want it to be a full-time job. I'm a mom first, and that is what I want to be the busiest with! :)

Well, I think that has kind of caught me up for now. Happy Fall!!

4 years & #3

4 years ago today I married my best friend! I'm such a lucky girl, I can't even put into words how completely in love I am with my hubby. He's such an incredible husband, father and man in general. 4 years down and hopefully MANY, MANY, MANY more to go!

AND...

It looks like we will be welcoming baby #3 in March. My due date, by ultrasound, is March 1th! We are really excited and I'm REALLY excited to get over these rough weeks of nausea, vomiting, exhaustion, etc... I've been so pathetic the last couple weeks. I have no energy or motivation to do ANYTHING. Thank goodness Chad is so awesome and lets me lay down and rest when I need to. He's even picked up extra chores around the house.

I'm referring to msyelf in this title. Where I have been in the blogging world? I'm not even sure. I decided to nix the challenge. I think I did too many in a row and I just grew kind of sick of them. So... I'm not even finishing my own challenge. ha Here is what has been going on in our world.

First of all, our Lainee bug turned ONE! I know, where has the time gone? Seems like it was just yesterday I was blogging about having her and here we are one year later with a walking, (kind of) talking, adorable (practically a) toddler! What a fun year it has been. She is such a wonderful girl and we are so blessed that she is our daughter. She keeps us laughing, smiling and I know I just love her more and more everyday. We celebrated her birthday twice, once in Shelton and once here at home. Here are some pictures of the birthday fun that was had!

Pictures from her birthday here:

We also went to Ocean Shores while we were on the west side. The kids had a lot of fun playing in the sand with their daddy and I had a lot of fun taking pictures! :)

I've also been busy with trying to get my photography business up and running. I now have a website, woohoo!

Please contact me if you are interested or would like some info!! :)

Other than that, we've been hanging out and enjoying the summer sun (when it's out and around)! Happy July!!

Day 8: What has been your biggest accomplishment so far?

Easy- Becoming a mommy!

Day 7: Are you in a successful relationship?

I have been seriously SLACKING with my blog. I can't even keep up with MY OWN challenge! I've been working on getting my FB photography page up and trying to work out all of the details for that. I hope to start charging next week (and HOPEFULLY) I'll have people who are interested!

Now... on to the challenge.

I am in a very successful relationship! I seriously couldn't have found a better man. I've already gushed about him in past posts so I don't think I really need to go into detail there. He is truly my better half. He knows just what to say to make me feel better and also knows when to push my buttons (always deserved). He is an excellent father and he does such an excellent job taking care of us.

He was my best friend before we were married and I think that is an excellent foundation for any marriage. It didn't take me long at all to fall for him and once I did I knew he was the one for me and here we are almost 6 years later, still going strong! :)

Day 6: Did you go to college? Where?

Yes 2 places, actually.

WSU



and CWU

I miss college.

Day 5: Best day of your life

Ok, I have three that fit this description. I can't choose one over the other because all three were equally special and wonderful.

1. The day Chad and I got married!
2. The day I had KJ.
3. The day I had Lainee.

I don't think I even really need to go into detail about why these would be the best days of my life... pretty sure it's obvious.
