My own guardian angel

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the wonderful ladies at Park Forest who cleaned my house. I came home from Oregon at 1 AM today to find my apartment spotless! These gals did everything from cleaning my carpets to doing my laundry, a task above and beyond friendship. It has been aobut 10 weeks from my surgery and the recovery has left my house a filthy mess so I greatly appreciate it. No one besides family has helped me out like this before. So to all who helped out.....Thank you SO much!

Bows for Tori

Which one do you want for the dresses? I think I like the big gerber daisy for Marta and Evey, then get two smaller daisies for Emmaline and Mazy.

We have a future!

Mike will be working as an orthodontist for Comfort Dental in Glenwood Springs Colorado when he graduates this December. I am super excited to get out of the midwest and away from all the humidity. Here's some pictures I took when we visited Glenwood springs.

Blessing, Birthdays, and more!

WOW it's been a long time and SO much has happened. I think I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.

MAZY'S 2nd BIRTHDAY
Mazy turned 2 on May 9. She requested her party have balloons and silly hats.

We had some friends over for a hand painting party, even Elmo came...but he didn't leave....yum! :)

"All our friends" says Mazy

Evey was blessed April 28th.




COLORADO
We took a trip to CO to view a potential practice for Mike. It was lots of fun and the girls did great for the most part. Here are a few pic of them lounging around in the motel while Daddy looked at the clinics.





Evey's 3 mo and enjoying her jumper for the first time.


Mazy was singing on our trip to Colorado, but quickly lost interest when she saw the camera and wanted to take a picture.

I had my surgery on June21st, things went well and Mom is hear the rest of the summer to do all the stuff I'm not suppose to...which is EVERYTHING!!! This is how I like to recoup.

Happy Easter

We had a rainy Easter so the bunny rabbit was forced to hide the eggs in the living room, not too exciting but when you have a toddler that discovers that there is candy inside the egg it doesn't matter where it was found.

Over Easter weekend we traveled to Memphis TN to look at a possible associateship opportunity for Mike. We thought it would be a nice little trip, only 4 hours away, but it ended up persuading Mike and I to never travel again unless necessary!!! Mazy wouldn't sleep in the pack and play and quickly discoverred she could climb out of it. Such knowledge she retained once home and now climbs out of her crib. We are in the process of transitioning her to a toddler bed and she is causing me to have less sleep than Evey!
Slide at a park in Memphis, Mazy liked this one the best.

The motel we stayed at didn't have a tub. Evey's getting so big she almost didn't fit in the sink. She had her 1 mo apt and is 95% for weight and height!

Tah..dah... definitely bath time.

I couldn't find Mazy one afternoon. It was not easy getting her out of the basket under our new double stroller.

Baby Evey first baby shoot - 4 days old

I'm bored at school and have a lot of bandwidth for uploading, so I thought I would throw some of my favorite pictures from baby Evey's first photo shoot! only 4 days old!

Updated pictures

I'm not the best blogger to begin with, but add a newborn with GERD and a toddler who isn't adjusting well to the decrease in Mommy's attention and you get even less pictures! Here's a few updates. We are on survival mode, but doing fine. Enjoy the pictures.



First time Mazy came to see Evey in the hospital. She automatically claimed the balloon and pink bear Mike's classmates bought for Evey.
