Another Party

We had another party for the Chiefs game on January 6th (Chiefs lost to the Colts), but it was a fun party. Gwen, Joe, Sarah, Jason, Becky, and Isabella all came over and we had a good time even though the Chiefs lost.

Baby New Year!!!

Party Girl Isabel...We went to Sean and Dee's house next door for a New Year's Eve Party. Isabel did well and actually stayed up (after a cat nap) till midnight with all the big kids. Jordan had a good time as well playing with Caleb and shooting off fireworks. Happy New Year to all...

Christmas Time

Just wanted to share some pictures of my kids during the holidays. We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We are so blessed. Take care...

Here comes Santa Clause...

I had a brilliant idea to arrive early at the mall on Friday to have the kids pictures taken with Santa and not have to wait in too long of a line. Wrong...I think every other family in town decided to do the same. We waited an hour, (not too bad) and then about five minutes from getting to the front, Isabel falls fast asleep on my shoulder and would not wake up for Santa at all. So that is why she is alseep in this picture. Well I can at least say I tried.

We had a wonderful Christmas celebrating Jesus's Birthday with family and friends. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and may God bless you.
Love,

Six Months Old

Isabel is now six-months old...with that milestone came some changes. I discovered at the doctor's office on Monday that she has her first tooth. It's small, but it's there. Isabel can also now sit up on her own, she eventually falls over but she can sit there for a while without support. My baby is getting so big. Can't wait for Christmas. Take Care...

Jordan & Isabel

Just thought I would share this picture of my two kids...This was taken yesterday morning as we were getting ready for school, work, daycare etc. Jordan loves his little sister and she loves him. You should see how she lights up when he comes into the room. She gets the biggest smile on her face each time he talks to her and plays with her. I could not ask for better kids, and I thank God each day he gives me with them and I am so blessed to be their mom. Hope everyone is well. LY

Go CHIEFS!!!

Thanksgiving Day - Chad and I ventured out to the Chiefs game on Thanksgiving night. Dad and Sharon watched the kids and I got to go to my first game since opening day. We had a great time, we tailgated and had fun at the game, it also helps when the Chiefs win. It was like superbowl atmosphere with a really big half-time show by John Fogarty. We had a wonderful time and the weather was great. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful for this year. As I sit here at my computer I think about all that has happened this year and I know that I am truly blessed. My Aunt Donna and Uncle John came through their health concerns and are doing well, we had a healthy happy baby in June, Robbie made it safely home from Korea in September and is now living outside St. Louis, Jordan is doing well in school, and my uncle Eddy is free right now from the brain tumor, however he still needs prayer since he has still quite a ways to go with his battle with cancer. Chad and I are doing well and we are looking forward to Christmas with our kids. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season. God Bless...

I'm five months old...

Isabel turned five months old on November 7th...yeah yeah I know what you are thinking Faith...it's about time you got a new picture out here. Well I at least go it posted before she turns six months old. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday this weekend. Take care and God Bless!!!

Jordan's Halloween

Jordan was a BMX bike rider during the party at school, and he was a "hip hop" guy during the night time raid of the neighborhood. All the second grade teachers at his school were secret service agents for Mr. Bangs (who was the president). Isabel had a great time at the party watching all the kids, thank goodness Grandma Conniecame to the party with me.

Happy Halloween!!!

-Happy Halloween-
This picture was taken by Grandma Connie as we were heading out to the Halloween Party at Jordan's school - I was Party Coordinator (as if I don't have anything else to do). However it was a fun day...

My New Seat

See my new seat...It's called a BUMBO seat. Isabel loves to be able to sit up and look at everything going on especially watching her big brother. Soon after we got this seat, Isabel started eating rice cereal. She currently eats it in the morning and again at night. Next week we will introduce oatmeal or barley cereal. She is beginning to be a big girl...

Our Angel

October 15th - Isabel's baby dedication! This was my Christening dress when I was a baby. I've waited along time for my baby girl to wear it.

Wedding

Here is Isabel at her first wedding...Aunt Gwen and Uncle Greg got married on Saturday, October 14th. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful wedding. Isabel was a trooper through it all...from sleeping through the wedding with Nanay to dancing with her daddy till the last song was played. She also got to meet Uncle Robbie and Aunt Sherri for the first time at the reception that night. They drove in for a quick visit and to attend Isabel's baby dedication that was on Sunday...watch for more Isabel pictures from Sunday. Take care...

Sailor Girl!!!

I know I have not posted in a while, sorry. Here is Isabel in her sailor dress we got her. She was having a good time at Aunt Gwen's bridal shower on September 16th.

PS - Would everyone keep my Uncle Eddy (Mom's younger brother) in your thoughts and prayers. He is undergoing some serious medical issues with a brain tumor and he really needs everyone's prayers.
Best Regards...

Three Months Old!!!

Thought I would share Isabel's "official" three month picture. She is so much fun. She is always smiling.

Happy Birthday Jordan!!!

I can't believe that Jordan is eight, I know I say this all the time in my blog, but why does time go so fast. It never went this fast when we were kids (and teenagers). Jordan had a good birthday with our family party on Sunday and the football game Thursday night. Tonight he is at the racetrack with his best friend Bobby and his dad. I bet he's having a great time. Happy Birthday Bubba...

First Day of School

Second Grade - First day of school (8/16). Jordan was excited to go, only because he has been bored out of his mind staying home with me this month. Jordan's teacher this year is Ms. Green, she is very nice.

Look at me Nanay, I'm two months old

This picture is for my mom...this was a dress that my grandma made for me way back when. It says "I love Grandma." Isabel is now two months old...I can't believe it.

Smile!!!

Jordan took this picture last week. He is so proud that he took the first "smiling" picture of Isabel. Our sweet girl is almost two months old...it's so hard to believe. Why does time go so fast?
