About Me

We are extremely blessed! J and I have been happily married for 4 years and continue to grow and learn more about each other everyday(you would think after knowing each other for over 15 years there wouldn't be anything else to learn)!! Josh is currently a submarine officer in the Navy. We just finished up our shore duty in Monterey, CA and SOAC(dept.head school) in Groton, CT and are now living in Virginia for a short while where Josh is the ENG on the Tennessee. We will be moving to Georgia with in the next year and couldn't be more excited! While Josh is busy on the submarine I am busy raising our two sweet little girls Adah and Michaela! We love being parents and watching our sweet baby girls grow, change, and learn each day! Can't forget about our first "children"...our crazy cats Izzy and Ollie! We have been blessed with the best friends and family in the world. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the coming years!

A year and a half!

Our sweet little peanut turned 18 mths old today...thats a whole year and a half! I can't believe how much she has grown! I was thinking back to last Thanksgiving that we spent in Tahoe and how little she was and how she wasn't even crawling much less eating solid foods! Now she is running and eating cereal with a spoon and no mess all by herself! She amazes me everyday! Just yesterday Josh mentioned how sad he was because he is actually having to work A LOT lately and goes several days without seeing her and he can't believe how much she had changed in just 2 short days! She is definitely the boss of the house and such a little princess! That girl has her daddy wrapped around his little finger!

Here are few pics from my phone...not the best but better than nothing:

Adah noticed today that her toe was peeling and was seriously concerned about it....I swear every time I turned around she was sitting down inspecting her toe! Silly girl!
When Adah and I went to target the other day I found this "painting" book that all you have to do is dip the brush in water and touch the picture on the page and it turns to color!
Adah eating "Cer-al" all by herself....such a big girl!
Adah playing on her Auntie Rachel's computer while we were on a mini vacation with them in DC!
Standing in the back of the car talking into the speakers like they are a megaphone! Haha so funny....where she got that or what made her do it is beyond me! She is so funny!
