Fun Friday!

Today Justin and I did some "well needed" outside chores. Justin mowed the lawn in the front and back, pulled some VERY large weeds, hosed all the walk ways down, and washed both of our cars! We put Annie outside while I was cleaning out "my giant purse" of a car! I had one large trash bag for trash....and one large trash bag for things I wanted to keep! Annie just sat and played with her toys while we tackled the Yukon! She even wore her little sun glasses that her grandma Kelly got her! They work pretty good because they have a strap on them so they don't fall off. She has like 6 pairs of sunglasses! And some really cute ones her grandma Jill got her. Those grandma's sure know how to protect her little eyes! Anyways...I took some pictures of the giant weeds we had growing on the side of the house...we never knew they were there! And then I took some pictures of Annie in her sunglasses! Enjoy!

Here are some pictures that Justin took of the Almond trees on Olive Drive! They were really pretty! Justin likes scenery pictures.....he is so cute!

Talking Girl!

Now I know I have told you how much she loves to talk and squeal, but I was never able to get her to do it on camera. But lately she has been doing it allllllll the time. So I was able to get it! Enjoy!!

These are a few pictures of her under her blanket! Every baby needs one of these pictures!

Days of Our Dogs.....Part 1

Okay, so I decided that my animals should be stars in their own soap opera! I mean, they are little characters. So..thats just what I did...Every week I will put up a new episode for your viewing pleasure. In this weeks episode......Ferball guards the back door and wont let the little dogs in. Not even his love, Skittles. Tater-Tot attacked him last night in his sleep, so he is seeking revenge. All the narration and voices will be done by me! Enjoy this weeks episode! P.S. Everything is video taped and posted while Annie is sleeping..I don't just sit her in a corner and hang out with the dogs all day.....

What a Ham!

Okay, I have recently discovered that little Annie is a total ham! Every time she sees a camera she switches into model mode! I think it is greatly due to the fact that there has been probably over a thousand photos taken of her since she was born. But I just noticed how much she loves the camera when I was video taping her banging her feet onto the ground! It was really cute, plus they made a really cool sound! She loves to kick her feet! And a lot might I add! She did this for like an hour today! I think she really just wants to stand up and start walking around! But anyways....every time I would face the camera somewhere else she would just sit and look at me, but once it was back on her she would start laughing! Enjoy!

Oh! And for everyone who was wondering...Justin did get the job! They called him that night! Woohoo!!!

Anyone smell fire???

I do!! It is my hubby coming into the room! Grrrrrr....he is on fire!!! Haha! Anyways....Justin had his second interview with the Chief of the Fire Department. And although he didn't "tell" him he got the job, he did say " I can't "tell" you that you got the job yet, but you should be expecting a call from me either today or tomorrow, and I expect you will be pretty happy, get ready to start working!!!!" And he told him how much he will be making!! We are so excited!!! Go Hubby!!! Look how cute he looks in his suit!! I made him do all the poses!!!

This is Justin's magazine shot!

Yes, I know....in this video....I TOTALLY SOUND LIKE A MAN!!!

Good Morning Boogers!!

This is a little video of what Annie looked like when I went to get her this morning. She had totally uncovered herself. I don't know how she did it, I had those covers tucked tightly around the car seat! She lost a sock. She found a burp rag somewhere and started playing with it! And she had pulled her other blanket all the way up to her chest! But even with all the crazyness....she still had a big smile on her face! You can't really see it though on the camera because she had that darn burp rag covering it! But it was there! Enjoy!

Bottle Time!

Now Annie loves her rice cereal.....but she still can't get over her bottle! She gets so excited when she sees it, and if you hide it behind your back, she freaks out! It is the cutest thing ever when she is reaching out for the bottle. You could be across the room and point it towards her and she will reach out for it! I have video of how she locks her eyes on the bottle! If you go behind her, she gets frustrated because she can't turn all the way around! And yes, our house is messy...but I was doing laundry, so get over it!

And here is just a quick video of her holding her little bottle. I am trying to cut the videos shorter because Katy said they are too long! Whatever Katy!! Yeah my videos are long....JEALOUS!!!

Playing Catch-Up!

Hellloooooo!!! I know I haven't been on in a while. We have been a little busy over here. Annie has been teething BAD! She has been very needy. I feel so bad for her. I think she only feels the pain during the day, because she sleeps through the night still and well into the morning. So she has been on tylenol all day. It seems to be helping. Anyways. Her Grandma Kelly is watching her tonight while me and Justin go out the dinner with some friends of ours. So, we got little Annie dressed up for the trip to Grandma's house! It was only right to dress her in camo! Yes, this may make her look even more like Justin, but she is still cute in it!

And yes, I cut my hair off! My friend Katy,,,,(my friend, not best friend) cut hers off the other day. I loved it, but I figured mine would not look good because I have thin straight hair. But her lady cut it and I LOVE IT! It is soooo much easier for me to do in the morning!!!

Annie has recently found her thumb. It is really cute, she will suck on it for A: Pain relief from teething, and it is more like chewing rather than sucking... and B: it helps her fall asleep!

Here are some pictures of little Annie in her big girl high chair! She loves it! I feed her rice cereal usually once a day. But sometimes I miss the chance. But she loves the cereal and gets all excited when she sees the spoon!

We have to feed her naked cuz she is a little messy!

She has also been talking.....A LOT!!! She talks herself to sleep, she talks to herself in her car seat in the car, she talks to her toys, but most of all, she is talking to us! It is really cute. We will copy whatever she says and she will say it again and again. And...sad to note....I think she is going to be saying Dada first! It sucks! But she has been saying Da Da Da Da a lot. But I have not given up yet! I still practice the Mama thing! I will have video of it shortly!

P.S. I think the only reason she is saying Da Da Da Da is because Justin makes her say it all the time....like right now...I can hear him in the front room saying "Dadadadadadadada" Loser!!!

I'm BBAAAAAACCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of posts. I have got many complaints as to why there has been nothing new on my page. It made me very happy to see that everyone actually cared and was even checking my page! Well, we had a virus on our computer for the past week, well, not one virus, but many! It was almost unsalvageable! But we fixed it and I am ready to post! There are so many things that have happened this past week!

I want to start off by saying.....my spell checker is not working for some reason, so sorry for all the misspelled words!

First off, little Annie was Dedicated at church on Sunday the 3rd. Friends and family all came to see her being presented to the Lord. We went on stage with a few other families and their children. The camera went on all of the little one's faces. Annie was by far the cutest! But I don't have many pictures because we were on stage, so I couldn't take any. But I have a few that my mother, and mother-in-law took.

Then, Annie had her first Super Bowl party! We had a few people over and she stayed on the ground and played with her Grandma Kelly the whole time! She was rooting for the Patriots. I didn't really have anything for her to wear. (She likes to dress up for occasions) So I put her in a fourth of July shirt that was waaaayyyy to big, and some red baby legs, and a pair of blue shoes! Thats all we had! Next, Annie learned to stand! She has never really put any weight on her legs before. And suddenly this week she was ready! Justin propped her up against the couch and she stayed there for a long time. I have video of it, but I took it to my mother's work to download it during our virus attack and so the footage is over there, not here. But I will post it when I get it! Then, Annie giggled for the first time! She has smiled since she was a couple of months old. And she likes to squeel a lot. But no giggles. She gets all excited like she is about to just bust out laughing, but then she just can't get in out! So the other day I was changing her and she just decided to be in the mood! It was the cutest thing I have ever heard and seen! And lucky for you guys....I got it on video!!!


And last, Annie ate big girl food for the first time last night. It was sooo cute. I don't have any baby spoons yet so I had to use a bigger spoon. But she would get all excited when she saw the spoon and she would open really big for it! And, yes, I got it on video! And I know there is a lot of food in her bowl, I didn't give that all to her! I just made waaaayyyyy to much!

Oh, and the dogs went in for a little photo shoot the other day! Enjoy! The white dog is choppers. He is my mothers dog!Also, Annie went to the Doctor on Wednesday. They weighed her, 16lbs and 9 oz, 95th percentile (she likes to eat!). They measured her, 26inches, 95th percentile (The Doctor said she was at a perfect weight for her height, he said she was gonna be tall!). And they measured her head, 16 inches, (It was 13 when she was born). And then, they gave her 4 shots!!! It was horrible, after the second one, she was over it! She screamed so loudly! It was so sad. But she felt better once all the nurses commented on how cute she was and how cute her little hat was. She has these little nit hats that are really cute. Lets see if I have a picture......yup, I do...she has them in brown and pink also!

Here are some pictures I just thought were cute!

I came around the corner and Annie had found a bib and placed it on her face like this! It was really cute!
