Happy Anniversary!!!!

Nine years ago today I married a wonderful man! I can't believe it has already been nine years! Wow! Time really does fly.......I am thrilled that Cameron choose me to be in his life. We have our ups and downs, but for the most part we have a wonderful marriage. I could not imagine my life without my best friend! I am so happy that this year we are celebrating with our new family member. Annabelle is one month today and she is growing like a weed! I am so proud that she is doing so well. I pray everyday for her health and safety! Cameron and I are blessed to have each other and to have this wonderful baby girl.

One month old!



We had plans to go the Cafe One Twenty Three or Warehouse Bistro and get a babysitter. Sadly, both resturants are closed on Sunday's and Monday's so we are going to Red Lobster! Yum! We decided to just take our little with us this time, but next year I forsee the babysitter coming into play! It will be ten years after all.......So we are headed to dinner with Annabelle. Let's hope she sleeps through the whole thing! Until Next Time. XOXO

Happy Valentines Day!!!!!

Valentines Day is here again! The day of LOVE! This year I have a brand spakin' new Valentine! Miss Annabelle. Annabelle would have been a Valentine baby, but God had other plans. I am so very thankful that I have this new love in my life. Being a mother is hard work (and I just got started), but I am so grateful! I always heard that the love you feel for your child in like none other. It is hard to fully understand that concept until you experience it for yourself. I loved this little girl from the moment I found out I was pregnant, but that love grew exponentially once I held her in my arms! What a wonderful miracle! I am so very blessed in so many ways!

I could not decide what picture to post so your are getting several. It was not easy getting these pictures as Miss Annabelle does not like the camera. It takes many, many shots to get a usable one. She was hungry at the time so that might account for some of her lack of amusement. Then she never likes me taking pictures unless she is asleep! She had better get used to it! LOL! There are going to be lots of pictures in this little girls future. Her mother does love taking pictures! 


 
Happy Valentines Day from Annabelle!

 She looks as though she is saying, "No pictures please!"



After her Valentine outfit we put one on in honor of Daddy!

 She finally fell asleep! Look at those chubby cheeks!


I also have another Valentine. My wonderful husband! I must say not everyone is as lucky as I am to have such a wonderful husband. Cameron has cooked, cleaned, waited on me and supported me through my rough pregnancy, my delivery and helped so much with Annabelle. He is truly a wonderful father! I am so proud that he is mine! Cameron is such a hard worker. When you get this man cleaning or cooking he just keeps going and going and going. I am positive that I (and the house) would be a complete mess without his help. I have gushed about Cameron before, but I just can't help myself. Last Valentines Day I got quite sappy in honor of Cameron. I am happy to say that I feel the same way a year later. Though I believe I love him even more today! How lucky can a girl get?!?!?!

Our first Valentines Day as a family!


My heart is so full of love for Cameron and Annabelle! I can't think of a better gift from God! I am so thankful to have them both and I pray that we all have many healthy days ahead. Happy Valentines Day everyone! Remember to tell the ones you love how important they are to you! Not just today, but every day! XOXOXOXO

Keeping up with Annabelle.......

Although we have been to the doctor's office I have not officially taken Annabelle outside to walk around for the first time until yesterday. Rhonda, Kasi and Henry came to visit Annabelle and we all went outside for a stroll. Of course, Miss Annabelle slept through her first outdoor experience! Aunt Kasi took some pictures for us.

Henry found the tractor and was looking to take a drive.......If only Uncle Cam had been home!


 How cute is Henry!!!!!



Can't you just see the excitement in Annabelle's face! ;-)


Today I decided to try a little tummy time with Annabelle. As you can see she was not "up" for it! LOL! She fell right to sleep after I laid her on the mat. Poor thing was just to tired! I even had music for her and read her a book, but I got nothing! Maybe in a few more weeks she might respond.


Until next time! XOXO
