Hannah is 6!!!!

I can't believe it but my Hannah has turned 6 years old. Where has the time gone? I remember it like it was yesterday.....Brian and I going to the hospital to meet our baby girl. Neither of us had any idea what to expect but we were so excited. I was induced and the meds actually started about 10am. After a LONG day, our sweet Hannah was born at 10:24pm. The past 6 years have been exciting and trying all at the same time. I never knew raising a girl could be so hard. With Gods help I know we will make it....I pray God will help her direct her energy to serve Him.

Ok....I guess that is enough reflection. Hannah has been asking for the past 6 months to have her birthday party at Chuck E Cheese and so I caved. It ended up being great! No decorating or cleanup.....and lots to keep the kids busy. Hannah had a blast. Several of her friends came and she just had a great time.

Below is a picture of Hannah and Riley Waganer. Hannah and Riley have been friends since they were born. Riley was born in September and Hannah in February. I hope and pray they remain friends forever.

Below are some of the kids that came to the party. Lily, Katelynn, Hannah, Abigail, & Riley

Isaac was having a great time until Chuck E came out.....and he flipped out! Look at his little face....absolute terror! Poor baby.

Here is a pic of Hannah opening one of her presents.

I am so happy that we were able to have her party at Chuck E Cheese. She had the best time and was so glad her friends came. It is much less stressful and I was very pleased when we left. Great experience. Now, on to Mr. Isaac's 2nd birthday!!!

Working on the fireplace

Brian has begun working on our fireplace. We have decided to replace all of the tile that surrounds it. Anyway, while Brian and I were at the Post New Years party with our Life Group, Poppy decided to pull up the tile along the floor. Once he began there was no stoppin' the kids! They just knew Poppy needed their help. They had a lot of fun though.

Notice the hammer is almost half as tall as Isaac!

Here is the picture of Hannah working and Isaac supervising!

Not much else to say right now. I am hoping to get some action shots of Hannah cheering this weekend but it's kinda hard since I'm coaching and all. LOL

Upward 2010

The Upward season started this past Saturday. Hannah was sooooooo excited about getting to cheer at her first game. She worked so hard on her cheers. I was so proud of our girls. About halftime the girls started to lose interest. "When do we get snack?" "What is for snack?" We definetely need to learn more cheers and begin working on a dance but overall I was very pleased with the kids. I wasn't able to get any "action" shots but below are some pics I took right after we got her dressed.

Hannah wanted me to get a picture of her doing her kick!

"Get me doing a high V Mom!"

I just love this face!!!



We are praying for a good practice this Thursday night and an even better game Saturday!

It's 2010 and I have higher hopes for my blog for this year! =) I would like to update it at least once a week....hope my motivation remains! LOL Since I last updated we have been to the beach, Hannah started Kindergarten, we (my family) found an AWESOME new church home and too many other things to list! We also had a WONDERFUL Christmas! We got to see both sides of the family on Christmas day and got so many great gifts! My sweet sweet husband got me a Dyson vacuum!! He says anything to try to motivate me to clean house! LOL He also got me an iTouch. I am having too much fun with it....he couldn't have gotten me anything better.

The kids had a great one too. In our family the kids get 3 gift from me & Brian (representing gold, frankencense & myrrh), one gift from each other and Santa will leave something small. Hannah got this huge Barbie doll house as her gold gift. We thought she would absolutely love it....however she hasn't played with it too much. Kinda disappointing.

She did think it was pretty awesome when she took the paper off!

Isaac got the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.....his current obsession! He LOVES to watch the show and was absolutely tickled when he took the paper off. He plays with it all of the time!

The pics below are ones we took right before we went to the Fant's house for "Cookies with Santa". The Fant's always have the neatest night for the kids. Neither of mine cried (shocked that Isaac didn't) but Isaac was really too busy to sit in his lap for more than one picture. Hannah enjoyed getting to see some friends she hasn't seen in quite a while. We haven't seen the pics from this evening but I am sure they are just perfect! LOL

Can you feel the "love" in this picture?

Our family is very excited about the new year! I am striving for more self discipline and working hard to better my relationship with Jesus! Like Bro. Ronnie said a few Sundays ago, "Am I the same as I was a year ago?" I want to be different! I want to be more like Jesus in 2010!!

Too busy to blog.....

Well, life has been pretty busy for the past few months I guess. I can't believe I haven't posted anything since May (not that anyone really reads this but anyway)! Let's see.....in June it was just HOT! Hannah has been going to Story Hour at the library, attending several Bible schools and still working hard at gymnastics. She is SO ready to begin school. I have a very dear friend that is getting married on August 1st and then we are leaving for Gulf Shores, Alabama (only 18 days away!). Maybe when school starts I will be better at keeping up with this?!? I have uploaded a pic just cause I think my kids are so cute! LOL

T-ball game Friday Night

Well....Hannah rocked at t-ball last night. She says she hit a "homerun" because she ran to all of the bases. She makes me laugh so hard. =) I have attached a pic of her playin'. She is so stinkin' cute. She has another game Monday night at 7:30. She keeps us so busy. =)

T-ball or no t-ball??? That is the question.....

Hannah is supposed to play t-ball tonight at 7:30 but I am sure thinkin' it won't happen. I haven't watched the weather since this morning but the storms are on the way. =( Hannah is really wanting to play....will she? Ok. Hopefully the next post will be more interesting.
