The Chronicles

So our newest addition was four weeks yestereday! I cannot believe it! I am already sad that time is going by too fast. Knowing that this is probably our last go at the baby thing, I am desperate to keep him a baby and not miss a moment, which is difficult considering the reality of having two other children who I love and who need attetion as well. It is all a juggling act, which is what I am learning motherhood is all about! Keep your fingers crossed for me that I can succeed at being the absolute best mommy that I can be!

There are also a few pictures of his nursery posted too. I have had some requests to see it. It's not quite 100%, but it's getting there! (Special thanks to my mom for helping me sew the bedding!)

Here are a some of the Christmas pictures that we took for our Christmas cards this year!

And Bishop at one week!

I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas with your families and that you have a fabulous New Years and 2011! We have definitely been blessed in 2010 and look very forward to the new year as a family of 5!

Our little Christmas blessing, Bishop Duke!

Awww...

These are very over due, but I wanted to share them with you anyway, because I am blessed with the sweetest friends! About a month ago a few of my most wonderful girlfriends got together and threw Bishop and I a little shower. It was so much fun to get together with my girlfriends and family and have a little time dedicated to Bishop and what is "probably" my last pregnancy! I cannot thank you ladies enough for the time and effort that you spent putting together such a fabulous shower and for all of your love and support!

You mean the world to me!!!

Me and my wonderful Mama!

(minus our forth, since Julz wasn't really invited...)

(Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!)

These are bit old, but still cute and I thought worth posting! This is a trip to the Ft. Worth zoo that we made with our fabulous playgroup from Keller! We love them!

Juliet was so thrilled to see the huge gorilla, that seems to enjoy all of the little guys excitedly checking him out. He just sat there forever and watched them.

(Mason, Thatch and Emily)

I realize that I am a bit late getting these posted, but beter late than never! I hope that all of you had a great Halloween! We sure did. Julzie loved trick-or-treating and the act of recieving candy at every house, although Thatch was a little lazy this year. He had is KK carry him most of the night. Who knows what was up with that, but we did have a great time. It was a beautiful night and Reif's mom and stepdad joined us for the evening.

And we're off...

Papi's ready too!

How aweful is that!

(I am all about decorations, but these were a little much for

a neighborhood full of little ones walking around.)

(she liked helping put the wisders on my face, like hers)

Bunny Julz, Jango Phat Thatch, Supergirl Ella, Bat Girl Ava, & Superman Jack

(obviously taking a brief break for the evening)

She plum wore herself out!

She was cracking up behind it. She really thought that she was so super funny!

Bat Girl and Jango are hand in hand headed home.

These are from last Thursday. For school they got to dress up in their costumes and had a fun costume parade and Halloween party! I stayed for the parade to help pass out candy and then also got to stay for Chapel, which they have every Thursday. Chapel was one of the cutest things that I have ever seen! They have all of the students ages 18 months-4yrs join in a room with risers and they all sing and praise and worship songs. I have always been told how much both of my kids love chapel (Juliet especially this year), so it was really fun to get to see them enjoying it so much. AND for birthdays they give a birthday blessing. And since it was Thatch's birthday I got to watch that! He comes to the front of the room with the head of the school and they all sing happy birthday to him and recite a birthday blessing. It was one of the most heart warming things to see!

All ready...I think....

Julz apparently was not feeling pictures before hand
