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!

DPP December 4

So I may have went a little overboard on pictures today but I'm sure mine and Josh's family won't mind since I haven't been so good at posting pics or updating the blog! Josh finally taught me how to access pictures from the camera and get them on the computer! I have started to use the big camera more since I know how to get them to the computer!

This is Adah looking at the ornaments on the tree before our adventure out to see Santa and Mrs. Claus!

This evening was Adah's friend Caitlyn's 2nd birthday party and Gymboree's Music and play! Adah loved it! She even crawled through a tunnel for the first time....ate pizza and cake! Thankfully she talked herself tired on the car ride home and went straight to sleep in her bed!

Adah and Cait eating pizza!
mmmmmm....I love pizza!
WHOA! This tunnel thing is pretty cool!
"Ma-ma....ma-ma!" Animals are her FAVORITE!
She LOVES mirrors too!
The rest of these pictures are from yesterday! This is what Adah looks like when she watches Dora...its serious business!

I just love that little face to death!
mouth open and all....
this is one of my FAVORITE pictures right now! haha! It makes me laugh so hard! She is such a little ham!
Before Dora Adah and I had a little snack of homemade chex mix....or ce-all as she calls it!
CHEESE!
This is what I get when she first wakes up from nap....don't you just feel so sorry for her!
Her hair is a HOT mess!

Friday Fab 5

This is going to be a quick one because since I a doing daily pictures with the DPP I have told most of the FABULOUS things that have happened this week! Here are 5 Fabulous happenings in the Dishmon household this week:

1. Adah and I are so thankful for new friends.....well at least one good new friend! On Tuesday we went with our new friends Stephanie and her daughter to check out a new target in the area that also has a chick fil a by it so of course we had to go to chick fil a too and let the girls play! Don't judge...we are both WAY pregnant!

2. On Wednesday I had my OB appointment and found out that we get to meet our sweet angel on or before the 22nd or 23rd if she is stubborn like her sister! I got to go to the appointment alone since Stephanie was kind enough to let Adah come over and play with Caitlyn while I went! After the appointment Stephanie and her husband had Adah and I over for dinner and to play a little longer!

3. Thursday was mine and Josh's 4 year anniversary! Can't believe it has already been 4 years! I love that man more today than the day I met him back before I was even in high school(and my 10yr reunion is this coming summer!!!) or either of us were driving!

4. On Thursday Stephanie invited Adah and I to go to one of her meetup group dates! We went to a local pottery place to to hand and foot prints of the kids! Lets just say it was and EPIC FAIL! The pottery lady was at least strong enough to restrain Adah's foot and hand (with my permission) to get a print! You might think I am a mean mom but you have NO IDEA how chicken this child is! I know it is partly my fault since we have moved so much in her short little life and she hasn't been around a steady group of people or kids for anytime at all and we haven't gotten out and done NEAR as much as I wanted to! I just hope she gets over it soon cause there are so many things I want to do with her but she is TOO strong for me to handle a lot of the time!

5. Like I said in my previous post (DPP Dec.3) we attempted to see Santa and Mrs. Claus tonight and that again was another FAIL! We didn't force her Santa....this time. BUT da-da made it home in time to go with us so that made the night sooo much better!

DPP December 3

Adah and I had a busy day today....we got up early(by Adah's doing not mine) and had breakfast and headed to Norfolk to meet up with our Labor and Delivery photographer at the mall kid zone so that Adah and her son could play while we met and discussed everything! I am super excited about her being our photographer! She does great work and I even booked her to do our newborn session a week after she is born! You can check out her work HERE! After we were done meeting with her we grabbed some lunch and then I had to go and look for a jacket for Adah since there is a chance of snow here on Sunday and it isn't suppose to get higher than 43 the next 2 weeks so I figured she needs more than just a light sweater....but I failed to find one that I liked or that wasn't RIDICULOUSLY priced! After shopping we rushed up to make sure that we got home in time to meet the nap window...luckily we made it and Adah took a LONG 2 hour nap! I on the other hand did not get to nap because I was making a bow holder and bows for Adah's little friend Caitlyn whose birthday party is tomorrow night! This afternoon/evening there was a Christmas party at our complex and Santa and Mrs. Claus where there so I figured I should get Adah dressed up and see if we could get a good picture before dragging her out to the mall to deal with the drama there.....and I was not surprised that it was an EPIC FAIL! Adah screamed and cried for DADDY as soon as Santa even looked at her and said hi! So much for that! Call me evil but I am still going to take her to the mall and make her sit on his lap even if she is crying....I gotta have a picture for each year! Hopefully it won't traumatize her too bad!

Since I was going to post a cute little picture of her with Santa and Mrs. Claus and that obviously did not happen I had to resort to this:


Yes she is crazy! She lays like this with her feet in her mouth whining at me when I won't hold her 24/7!

DPP December 2

Today, December 2, 2010 I celebrate 4 WONDERFUL years of marriage to the MOST amazing man in the world! It has been such an adventure....lots of laughs.....LOTS of tears....lots of fun....TONS of Blessings! These have truly been the best 4 years of my life! We have moved 4 different times...lived in 3 different states.....moved across country 2 times.....welcomed 1 perfect little girl into our lives and are about to welcome our 2nd! I am so truly blessed to be married to such a loving man who spoils me...loves me no matter what....supports me....encourages me....laughs at me and with me.....Josh you truly are the BEST friend, husband and father I could have ever hoped and dreamed for!

Enough with the sappy talk and on to the gift...which is what my picture is today....in the words of my friend Rachel "You are just as spoiled as Adah!" :

This morning (Josh leaves before I wake up) I got up to this sitting on the kitchen counter and immediately said "Joshua Michael, you are in so much trouble!":

This is what was inside:
I LOVE MY HUSBAND and I LOVE that he spoils me on occasion! I have been wanting an anchor charm/necklace for a long time....to me it just has a lot of meaning to me being married to a sailor!

Quick update on baby D2: We still do not have a name! AAAHHH I know...I need to hurry because I found out yesterday that I will be induced on DEC 22! Thats right just 3 short weeks away...thats if she doesn't come before then! So if all goes well we will be home and spending Christmas with 2 sweet girls!

The hubby is finally home so I am going to go spend 30mins with him before its time to go to bed!
