Thanksgiving 2009

We all had a great Thanksgiving and it was great being able to share it with Dad and Lee!

I have so much to be thankful for! God has truly blessed my life with our little bug-a-boo who always has a smile on her face, a story to tell, or some toy to share! She is super healthy, strong, and so full of life. Everyday feels like Christmas when you go in to get her in the morning! I thank God everyday for allowing me the opportunity to stay home with her and for the guidance/patience needed to be by her side everyday! It is becoming more and more rewarding everyday; "thank you, thank you, thank you God!"

I have an amazing husband who works overly hard and still has the energy and patience for his two girls! There is so much love in our hearts. We are so thankful for our new home (in town) and the new life we are able to build together! We all have our health, we have a roof over our head and thankfully Kevin still has his amazing job! We have WONDERFUL family all around us (near and far) and friends who are truly special in every way!

What an amazing life - I am extremely blessed!


Ready for Thanksgiving!

Norton family visit

We were so excited that David, Mari, and Asher were able to come over for dinner on Friday of Thanksgiving! We celebrated Asher's 1stBirthday too, as we weren't able to attend his party! So we had gifts, cake, and lots of laughs! :)


The kids had such a great time playing together! :)



No, you get it! hahaha





Hummm, which one should I use?!

Big girl carseat. . .

We finally switched her into her big girl car seat at around 14months! She had been so comfortable in her other car seat and we were in no hurry to make the switch until her feet and head started sticking out of her travel system car seat!

So we installed the new one backwards, (even though she's over 12 months and 20lbs) because she doesn't mind being backwards and it is the safest way for her to ride!


I see you. . .


Ashley in her big girl car seat



Obviously really comfy in her new car seat!
