Audrey is Three!




Audrey Elizabeth, you turn three years old! It's hard to believe how fast time flies and how much you have changed. Each year I look at your pictures and think oh my goodness, she's not little Audrey anymore. This year for your birthday, you asked to get your ears pierced. Mommy, Daddy, sisters and Nana took you to sweet and sassy (which describes you perfectly!) to get your ears pierced. It was quite a drive but worth it!



Your favorite phrase is still "and me". And yes, you will always be included and get treated equally, whether you realize it at the time or not. It's hard to understand Ava is two years older because you want to be just like her and as big as she is!




You are the most snuggly loving little girl. I get tons of hugs and kisses from you, and I love it! You are increadably intellegent when you want to be! You find all kinds of ways to get out of picking up around the house. Going potty, being tired, knee hurting... you keep thinking of new ones to pull over on Mommy, but I'm on to you :) I try to work on your letters with you, but you make me think you don't know them at all. However, just today you showed Mommy and Mimi that you know a lot more then you let on!


I am so excited to see the little girl you are becoming. Each new year brings new and exciting things. I can't wait to see what year number three has to offer!


I just broke my camera today! I am hoping to get it fixed so I can take lots of pictures of you because I know how much you love looking at pictures!

Coming Back

Ok, I've been really thinking about whether or not I should start blogging again.... I have decided it's the only way I am going to remember what happens in our lives because otherwise I won't write it down!

One month in the new house! A few boxes still packed, but they're clothes that aren't needed, so I'm not counting them! Therefore, we're officially fully unboxed! Still having issues getting everything working properly, mainly the A/C in the master bedroom... but we're working on it. Decorating still needs to be done! I think it's going to be a weekend of hanging things on the walls, I've refrained until they finished their touch up painting... but now it's done and I'm ready to get some pictures on the walls!

Living further out has been amazing! This is so much more like where I grew up! We see rabbits daily and even had our first deer spotting! Audrey is terrified of rabbits and deer. Matt saw the deer this weekend and showed it to her and she freaked out... "Daddy hold me, hole me, he bit me... deer bite me!" If only she'd be afraid of the bugs and spiders she likes to hand to me! She was telling her Pa about the rabbit and he told her he put it in the soup (he made dinner for us that night), so now she tells you about the rabbit and "it's in the soup". To be so fearless at times, she freaks out when animals encroached upon "her area".

Ava is growing up so big! She wanted chocolate milk last night, and she said "Mommy, can I have some chocolate milk, you know it has good protein in it." What a mess. She has changed her favorite color, it is now blue! She wants everything blue. She even loves Cinderella. Never seen the movie, but Cinderella has a pretty blue dress and therefore, she wants everything Cinderella. Matt and I made a very diligent effort to keep all princess things out of the house when Ava was young, but now she's choosing it, which I think is ok. She's not saying she's a princess, rather liking the character. Matt still doesn't like it so much, but she isn't a big girly, girly type girl. For the first time last night she played with the girls and not the boys, so it's not like we have a mini diva on our hands!

Little Addison is still growing in my tummy. 2 1/2 weeks till her due date! I have a sono Thursday and I can't wait to see her! This pregnancy is going really well as far as the high blood pressure/pre-eclampsia issues, however my immune system is almost non-existent and therefore I am catching anything and everything going around! I have been healthy for a couple weeks now and have banned all chick-fil-a and McDonald type places till this baby comes. I don't want to be sick again. I finally got my hospital bags packed... Finished a couple days ago. I know I was a little late, but it's ok because she didn't' come early! Still don't have a middle name picked out, that is next on the list...

Oh how I am grateful for my husband and children! Had a bit of a scare last night and thought that one of the boys in our community group was kidnapped. Although it only lasted several minutes, it was long enough to cause major unrest, because it could have very easily happened. And to think he was really gone, I can't describe the horror you feel! Needless to say you are grateful for you children and their safety, all other things that you tend to worry about are not important! Matt had the stranger talk with Ava last night, not sure how much she understood, but at least he tried.

check your privacy settings - not that it really matters

So in the Internet age, I know people who really want to find you, can... I have been very diligent in keeping all my settings as private as possible, but to my surprise my co-worker showed me a website with my image, email address, physical address, family members, knew that I was a mother.. etc.

Blogger even lets my latest blog entries available!!! I know I haven't been updating but I think this may be the end.

All you facebook users, images I have marked as "friends only" are the images that are appearing on this website. ANYTHING you post is subject to easily retrievable public knowledge. Having dealt with nosey co-workers it's pretty scary what they can find and know about you, without you having a clue. Luckily this co-worker no longer works for us, but you never know who else may be the same way.

Number three is on the way

We are expecting our third child due September 10th. Matt is wonderful and is taking care of the girls and the house while I deal with sickness and general feeling of blah.... I have such a wonderful husband! But this is the main reason the blog hasn't been updated in quite sometime~

Just sitting at home waiting on the dr. to call me back!

I am trying really hard not to get frustrated, but I am waiting on a call from my doctor before I head off to work. I have some mysterious illness.... well at least the minor emergency doctor was baffled by it. I think it's hand foot and mouth disease, but my blisters and ulcers don't look near as bad as the pics on the web. He said that a number of viruses can cause my symptoms, but he's never seen anything like it before.

And there it is the call... off to the dr again

Kauai

View from the back door, go down some steps and there's the beach!
Just down the beach we found this fallen tree, the girls loved playing with it!

The girls before the luau, which was amazing!
Looking down the beach from the house we are staying at, just perfect!


Sunrise 10 feet from the back door, I think I could stay here forever!
With our last full day left Ava has finally adjusted to the time difference! Going to bed at 7, just after crab hunting, and waking up at 4 in the morning has ended..... too bad we head back tomorrow.

I have many many more pictures, but don't have the time to load them!
