Boat ride on Saturday!

Hanging in the hammack!

Sommer did not have a good weekend at the lake! She decided that she does not like sand and does not like the lake water. She was fine in the boat, just fell asleep but cried for 3 hours straight when we sat on the beach. Finally she exhausted herself soo much that she fell asleep in her play pen for a half an hour or so. You couldn't stand in the water with her, you couldn't stand on the sand with her... she just wasnt a happy camper!

Monkey in the crib!

Here is a video of Sommer playing in her crib! A little monkey she is!!

SOLD!

It has sold! All conditions have been removed and we are moving August 23!!! AHH!! Yes, that picture is an old one (since there is now on the ground and now there isn't). I want to take a picture with Sommer outside on the front lawn by the sold sign but I am waiting for the sold sign to be put up (by me.. haha). Thanks for all your prayers throughout the selling process. We look forward to our new house in Emerald Park now!

Too cute!

Yesterday we went out for supper (You should know by now that I dont cook!). Sommer was fussy so I sent her out to the car with James while I stayed behind to pay the bill. I really wanted James to have to buckle her into her carseat (which is no longer a bucket carseat- she is now in a big girl carseat) because I wanted him to realize what a PAIN it is to bend over and do up all the straps! We are looking at SUV's right now and I want James to get me one sooner rather than later so I figured this would be a perfect opportunity. When I came out of the restaurant I was happy to see that James was sitting in the driver seat chatting on his cell phone. "Great!" I thought, "he had to buckle her in!!" But when I opened my door, I found someone buckled into MY seat! SHE WAS SO CUTE! She looked at me like she was saying "Get in the back Mom! Let's roll!" So independent she is getting... one day she can sit like a big girl in the front but until then in the back she goes!

Big Announcement!

Just wanted to make a BIG announcment:

NO I'M NOT PREGNANT AGAIN!

Sommer is getting 2 teeth!!!

She has been SO MOODY lately to the point where I am getting frustrated because I can't put her down for 1 minute. She has also been waking up crying at night for no reason and the only way to get her back to bed is to sleep with her in the guest room. Yesterday I put my finger in her mouth and there were little bumps on her bottom gums. She wouldn't move her tounge for me to look in her mouth so when I was feeding her cereal I took a sneek peek! Yup, 2 little white teeth are starting to come up! WOW! They aren't all the way through the gums but you can see them just under the gum line. She is getting way to big! Crawling and teeth... where has my newborn 6 lbs baby gone??

A real gift from God!

This picture was taken of a baby at 21 weeks gestation... This baby was diagnosed with Spina Bifida and needed to be operated on prior to birth. A doctor in the USA operated on the mother, having to remove her uterous to do so, made an incision in the uterous but could not remove the baby. On 20/20 when they interviewed the doctor he said that when he made the incision this tiny arm and hand came out and grasped his finger. AMAZING! It was as if this tiny unborn baby was thanking the doctor for saving his life! Today this baby is a healthy boy!!!

This little hand shows just how special pregnancy and birth is! This mother was only half done her pregnancy and look how definded and perfect this little arm and hand is. Littles ones are a gift from God and every day I thank Him for the special daughter he gave me!
