About Me

My photo
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 & M Comparison

I try to remember to take pictures of M when she has on an outfit that was Adah's that I know we have a picture of Adah in!  I think it is so neat to compare the two at the same age and in the same outfit!

Flower girl!

Michaela was happy this morning so I couldn't resist getting her dressed up and taking some pictures!  She is the cutest thing!  Adah thought her sister was so pretty and wanted to have a flower on her head too!  Love both my girls so much!

I uploaded these backwards but this is a picture of Adah in the same outfit and roughly the same age!  Too cute not to post!

Girly Girl

Adah has had a very fun past two days and as my sister said she is turning into such a "girly girl" and I LOVE it!  Until recently I have had to physically restrain A in order to cut her nails...sometimes to the point of laying on her!  I tried a month or so back to see if she would let me paint her toe nails and she wanted NO part in that!  I figured she would love to have her toes painted since she always messes with and loves my toes when they are painted!  I decided to take her to the store and let her help pick out a color on her own and last night after bath she let me paint her toes!  She can't stop looking at them and saying "Adah pretty toes!"  I think they are the cutest things in the world!

Her next big "first" if you can call it that happened this morning!  I have wrestled with it for sometime now....actually her entire little life....but today we went for it...we had her EARS pierced!  Before you go judging and saying that its child CRUELTY let me just explain....
Josh and I decided early on that we would not pierce her ears as an infant bc we both felt that it was a PERMANENT thing on HER body and that SHE should get to choose if she WANTED that or not!  Over the past several MONTHS A has become even MORE interested in my ear rings than she has in the past.  She wants to touch them all the time and tries to get me to take them off so she can have them!  A few weeks ago when we were at her friend Caitlyn's house she noticed that Caitlyn and her mom had ear rings too and she REALLY started to want them.  I would talk to her about them and ask her if she wanted them when she would bring them up over the past several weeks....I even pinched her ear with my nails and tried to explain to her that it was going to hurt....like getting a shot...I told her...she HATES shots and the doctor for that matter!  She said she still wanted them!  So this morning Josh and I decided to take her to the mall and see what would happen!  We got there and let her pick out her ear rings...thank goodness they were cute!....then I went and sat in the chair and she sat in my lap...the girl got out the maker and marked her ears and A got so excited when she saw the marks on her ears in the mirror...then both ladies that work there got their "guns" and asked her if she was ready...she sat there in my lap like a big girl and let them pierce away!  You have to understand that for that is HUGE for A to sit still like that and let someone touch her!  She cried for less than 30 seconds right after they did it....as soon as she saw her ears with ear rings in them in the mirror she was "all better"!  Now she can't stop looking at her self and her ear rings in the mirror!  She is too cute!

Here are a few pictures of her ears...the best she would let me take and a picture of her pretty toes!



Of course I had to post a picture of my other little girly!  She is always so happy laying in her bed watching her mobile!
