We have had a "perfect" day today...everyone was happy the WHOLE day! With 3 little girls, perfect days are very rare!!! Today we went to the zoo, took a train ride, and stopped for strawberry shakes on the way home.
*edited: as i look at this picture, i think that abby had to pee, LOL!!! oh my!
The girls LOVED the train ride!
They hatin'...
I was stopped at a stoplight behind this man. I thought it was hilarious that he was driving his scooter chair down the middle of the lane! I was talking to a friend about this man, and apparently he drives that thing ALL over town! It must have an amazing battery!!!
We have been super busy the last several months. We moved in September, and have been working different shifts to avoid the cost of daycare. (and we will be moving AGAIN in 6 weeks.) I have not had time for (or not chose to spend my time) blogging. I intend to change that!!! I love recording our memories on our blog and sharing them with family and friends! I will not promise abundant blog posts in the near future...but I WILL do better than I have in the previous months!
Enjoy the pictures that have NO relevancy to this post, LOL!
My nanny on her 80th birthday in March with Aniya. This woman is so special to me, I love her so much!!! This trip to Oklahoma was hard for me...it made my heart heavy, and made me miss family. I cried for a whole hour after we left town. It was so hard for me to see all of my family, and see the girls playing with all their cousins, and then take them away from that back to a town where we have no family. On the way home, Richard said, "It's time." And that was it, we decided it was time to move closer to family!
Our other 2 pretty girls! They are getting so big, its unbelievable!!!
We have found a place to live down there, and will be moving the end of June. My job will transfer, and Richard will spend a year finishing school. He is going back to school to do something he has always LOVED...auto mechanics. I'm so happy he is going to be doing something he loves!!!
The 4 loves of my life!!! My wonderful husband of almost 6 years whom is always there for me, always believes in me, and always tells me how beautiful I am. I love him so much!
Our 2 oldest daughters; Abby and Alivia. These two little girls are best friends, they do EVERYTHING together! They bring us lots of joy and laughter. They are getting so big, and their personalities show in everything they do!
We have been super busy these days. We moved to a different city, and are loving it here! We definitely like living in a bigger city rather than the small town life! We NEED things to do...and we are loving all the options we have here!!!
Blogging has NOT been at the top of my to-do list lately....but here is a photo of me and my honey! We were on our way to the zoo with the girls!
I have lots of things I want to blog about, so maybe I'll blog again soon....maybe......
The name Aniya is of Hebrew origin and means God Answered. We are so very thankful that God Answered our prayers, and the prayers of our friends and family...
Our precious baby girl is getting big! We are so glad she is here with us, Safe and Sound!!!!!
Abby had her 1st day of preschool this week. I can't believe our little girl is already going to school! Time flies SO fast once you have kids... our oldest is 3 and our youngest is almost 7 weeks, unbelievable!
Abby had so many things to talk about after her 1st day at preschool...singing, reading, playing on the "ship", and making balloons with stickers on them.
Here she is before going inside.
Sissy wanted to take a picture with Abby.
Aniya Rose Wallace was born Aug. 4, 2010 at 7:35 a.m.
Here are the VERY proud big sisters meeting her for the 1st time!!!!!!!!
We are so thankful that she is finally here. There were LOTS of people praying for her safe arrival, and prayers were answered!
We had lots of complications throughout most of her pregnancy. When I went in for my 32 week appointment with the specialist, we got AMAZING news!!!! The doctor told us after our sonogram- that our baby was healthy, I was healthy and the previous complications had fully resolved! Richard and I decided that she {our baby} needed an EXTRA special name because she was such a blessing and we were so thankful that God healed us! We searched and searched for a fitting name, and came upon the name Aniya... Aniya means "God answered." We found this name to be perfect because so many people had been praying for us for months, and God answered everyone's prayers!
Our family is finally complete! 3 little girls occupy our house, and it is going to be lots of fun over the next MANY years!
I can't believe our little girl is 3 today! It has gone by so fast!!! We didn't have her a big party this year...we have so many things going on in preparing for the baby to arrive in a little over a week. We had a good day though, LOOK! She got a big girl bike!!!
I made Meg's 6 layer rainbow cake (with homemade frosting)! I am not a creative person...I'm not even sure I enjoy trying to be creative and I am NO Betty Crocker, so I was kinda nervous about making it...but it turned out great!!!!!!!!!!!! So...if you are wanting to make this cake, GO FOR IT!!! If I can make it...so can you!
We finished the baby's room last week, and I think it's pretty darn cute! It is still pretty empty in there, though...we still need to get her a dresser, but I like her room A LOT!!!!!
Here is another project I just finished for the girls' room. Their room is pink and brown...1 brown wall and 3 pink walls. I got a large canvas and painted it the same pink as the other 3 walls, then I had ordered their names with the princess wand from Simply Said (vinyl lettering). I think it turned out very nice...I also LOVE the girl's room! Everything in their is pink and brown...even their toy box's are pink!
