Coming Soon....

Sorry it has been so long!! We have had a lot going on!! We moved at the end of May. I am glad that is OVER or at least for a few months!! We will be building a new house soon. For now, we are living with Kristen and Teddy. Or really...just Kristen. Teddy is never home! My computer was maxed out on space when we did finally get moved and settled so I haven't been able to upload my pictures. Andy figured out what was taking up all the space last night. Andy is going deep sea fishing all weekend so I will be home uploading a ton of pictures to update everyone on our summer!

The Par-Tay Picture Palooza

We all had a great time at Leighton's party. The invitations were my favorite! Jenny Holloway did them. Isn't she creative?!? We had a cowgirl party because of Leighton's obsession with "horseees" and her pink cowboy boots. However, she decided she wanted to be barefoot at her party and refused to wear the boots that the whole theme was centered around. Terrible two's here we come! The stick horses were probably the crowd favorite. I am still recovering from all the fun and cleaning up all the new fun toys she got. Thank you to everyone that came and for all of her sweet gifts!

Leighton is 2!!!

I can't believe my baby is 2!! She is growing up way too fast! She is loving life and LOVED her birthday weekend that started out with donuts!

She called it her "dayday" and she still tells you that she is one. We are still working on that. She had a blast at the zoo, her trip to toys r us, the going away party at the Koskos, and most of all her party.

Her newest stats:

height - 35 inches 75th percentile

weight - 24 pounds 15 ounces 25th percentile

She has come a long way from 5 pounds 18 inches and not even making it on the chart!

She is talking like crazy and acting way too grown up. Where did my baby go?? Here are a few pictures from her birthday day.

I NEED a mommy's time out! I found this on a blog I stalk. I don't know this girl but I know we could be really good friends! Check her out at http://www.flythroughmywindow.blogspot.com/ . I don't think she sleeps because she does so many cute projects! Andy has been out of town

since Friday and I am dying for a mommy time out!

Easter Fun

We had a great Easter! We went to church Friday night for the Good Friday service but were on nursery duty Sunday morning. It was my first Sunday not to be in a church service. I was kinda sad but I know I have to do my duties as a church member. Have no fear...Kristen sang with me our favorite Easter hymns. I hate it for anyone that was listening. We aren't the most musically talented sisters.

I think Leighton thought Santa came again a little early. She didn't really know what to think about getting "peasents" (presents) all day. But of course she wasn't complaining ... she was loving it! We had Easter lunch at my parents and then went to see Andy's parents. It was a GREAT day celebrating Our Savior's resurrection.

Big Easter kiss for Daddy!

Eating Easter lunch with Uncle Teddy.

Wondering where all the eggs with candy went.

(mommy hid them - no chocolate in Easter lace)

Waking up to my Easter surprises!

Our finished disaster of dying Easter eggs.

Trying to die eggs and not smash them all. Beckett thought they were balls.

Easter egg hunt at Causey's house. Leighton didn't do much hunting. She would find and egg, eat the candy out, drop the egg back on the ground and repeat this over and over. I couldn't believe she took a nap after eating all that sugar. We both had a great time at the party.

The most popular outfit at Causey's party.

We had an Easter egg hunt at church too. But daddy took her so there are no pics:)

Good Friday

How Deep the Father's Love for Us

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
And make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the man upon his cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

God is so GOOD or should I say GREAT!

Andy got a new job this week and we sold our house!! YAY!! I can't believe this has all happened in one week. Andy has been very unhappy at his current job and has been looking for awhile. He will be starting his new job in 2 weeks. And...our house sold today. What makes it even better is we sold it to some of our very good friends Jay and Liz. So when I miss it I can still come back and see it. We will be moving in with Kristen and Teddy and splitting the rent while we build and they build. It should be interesting. I will keep you updated. We will close at the end of the month. Get excited! I know I am. God is opening so many doors for us and we couldn't be happier.

To God be the glory!!
