We Celebrated

I can't remember what night it was, but I had the table all set for dinner. It was close to dinner and Lilliana was crying to eat so I stuck her in her highchair so she would be ready to go. I am doing last minute things and hear a crash. That child had pulled the tablecloth over and pulled the big tub of sour cream down so she could eat it! Needless to say it was a mess. It ended up everywhere! All over the floor, wall, fridge, her, everywhere. Poor Anthony had to clean it up and he hates sour cream!

I am putting this on here and noticing my wonderful rotate and lack of crop on this photo. Ha must have gotten distracted while editing!

Sour Cream Baby!

Anthony had friday off and let me sleep in. It felt so nice. I woke up to a terrible bang on the windows of our room and looked out to find this. 

They thought it would be fun to throw snowballs at the window and wake me up. According to Eli, "I had slept long enough." He thought it was so funny that he got to do that!

He came in a while later and the first words out of his mouth were something regarding hot chocolate. So I obliged and got him some since it has become pretty normal for him to get it after being outside.

He got a special cup. This cup was mine when I was a little girl. There are many fond memories of me drinking out of it.

Friday night brough along silly hair. Eli didn't want to do it but was all about making Lilliana's crazy and taking pictures.


They enjoyed themselves!


Saturday we celebrated Lilliana's birthday.

This card sang and she loved it!!

She got a toy box from my parents. Eli loves it!! I can't keep him away. Thank goodness they got him one too! He gets it this next week. He is going to be so excited.


We gave her ice cream and she loved it! She didn't want her cake anymore.


Happy Birthday to our beautiful little girl!

We get to do it again this next weekend for Eli. He is beside himself with excitment. Happy Monday!!

4 Years Ago

Yesterday Anthony and I celebrated our Four Year Anniversary!! It is crazy to think it has been that long. I feel like we got married yesterday. As I was going through pictures to post it was fun remembering all the things we have done and been through. I have had so many issues with my pregnancies, Eli's being the worst. Without Anthony I don't think I would have made it expecially recovering after Eli. Lilliana was easier, but I still had some issues. He has been the most amazing husband. We have had our ups and downs but through it all we have become stronger and closer. I love him!

Our first trip together to visit my family.

Some more dating..............


Wedding......


Our honeymoon taken a few months after our wedding. It was a roadtrip and we had just found out I was pregnant with Eli. I was downright miserable!! If I never have to do that again I will be so thankful. I didn't know so much that I should have done and I really feel my body was already starting the beginning stages of preeclampsia. We did have a lot of fun though. One day we will take it again with the kids as we spent a lot of time sightseeing.


October 2008 at a family wedding. I was pregnant Eli and I think around 18 weeks. Some of my favorite photos....


1st Wedding Anniversary-One week before Eli arrived. I was so sick.


Right before induction of Eli. I had missed out on maternity photos and my wonderful midwife came to the hospital and took some. This was my favorite!! She is amazing and I will always be grateful to Shelie for these.


After emergency C Section. I have no memory of any of this photo but it holds so much meaning and so far of any of the photos I have of my life married this holds the most love for my husband as it says so much!It was taken by my other midwife who stayed with us through everything regarding Eli's birth.


After Eli was born our first photo with me somewhat aware although I remember nothing of this.


First Family Photo after Eli. He was maybe two weeks old.....


A date night......


Lilliana's Birth. This was such a healing time for Anthony and I. It holds so many memories and the best being I could remember everything and had Anthony with me the whole time except for the moment when I was in labor and insisted he leave the room as I did not want him anywhere near me!!:)


First Family Photo as a Family of Four.......


Photos done this fall by my wonderful midwife Shelie......


And lastly, last night before we left for dinner.........Pregnant again. Funny I know! I have either been pregnant or just had a baby almost all of our anniversaries except one and I was still nursing. We have been blessed!



Embracing the camera with my wonderful Husband! I love him!
