New family photos!

For my Mother's Day present, my wonderful husband suprised me with a family photo shoot where I was treated to having my hair and makeup done for me. We just got our pictures back the other day so I thought I'd post a couple on here so you all could see them too. It was a great day and the photographer was WONDERFUL with Julia. The day we had these pictures done was the day we found out that Julia is going to be getting a late Christmas present, in the form of a baby brother/sister in January!



Julia loved the photographer! He was so good with her. In this picture she was trying to put her thumb in her mouth and he snapped the picture right before she got it in there. She was cracking up at him. We just can't believe how big she's gotten and we can't wait to see what she's like as a big sister. We have high hopes for her in that department!

Mother's Day, 2008

This year for Mother's day, we went to church in the morning and then came home and took Julia to the park to play for a little bit. She had a blast, it was a really good, relaxing day and I got some really cute pictures. I hope you enjoy them.

Also, here's a video from Mother's day of Julia just running around the yard.

The good news keeps coming!

So, as of yesterday afternoon about 12:30pm, Mike and I are going to be parents, again. Julia is super excited to be a big SISTER! My friend Rose was convinced that I was pregnant again because I've been a RAVING LUNATIC for the last few weeks...I wasn't so sure. Turns out she was right. She made me take the test in the bathroom of the Fairbanks Wal-Mart. Turns out, she was right and I was wrong. So, the good news keeps coming. We're super excited to have another addition to our family and we'll keep you posted with pictures as we get them...here's one to start you off!

We got our Orders!!!

Just to let you all know, we got our orders today...well word of mouth, but the orders will be in our hands on the 15th of this month! We're heading to Moody AFB, GA for our next assignment! We can't wait. Shorts, flip flops, nice weather and not -40 and or 10 feet of snow! Yes! Sunshine here we come!

Julia's first time in a real pool!

Mike and I took Julia to the base pool for the first time yesterday for open swim. She wasn't too sure of it when we first got in, but shortly after she got used to the water temperature, she turned into our little water baby. It has been decided that from now on, our family nights will consist of going to the pool to go swimming. Mommy is looking all over the place for infant/mommy and me swim classes to take Julia to and also to get herself into better shape. That was our Tuesday evening...Hope yours went just as well.




















This picture was taken before we went for the pool...she was super excited to go, as you can clearly see on her little face!

A Monday with Julia

Like my hat?

So, today Julia and Momma just hung around the house because Momma has a sore throat. Julia watched the Sprout channel and then we both took a 2 1/2 hour nap! It was GREAT! The weather today wasn't the best in the world. It rained all day, but at least it's not SNOW!!! Anyway, hope everyone is well. More to come at a later date! Oh, one more thing...here's a video of Julia's new ride...powered, naturally, by Daddy!

Julia has a new hang out!

What is this velcro stuff, momma?
Momma, Lucy took over my house!
That's right, Lucy, get outta MY house!

So, yesterday the UPS guy came and delivered the play hut beauty salon I got for Julia from Target.com. It took me 20 seconds to set it up and has resulted in HOURS of NON-STOP play for the peanut. She loves her girl-fort. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend $30.00! Enjoy the pictures!
