Family Pictures/Connor at 6 months

Opps, it's been quite sometime since I've posted. Life with two takes up so much more time! I don't know how my mom had so many kids, she's amazing! I can't believe Connor is almost 7 months old! Here are a few pics we got for Connor's 6month/Christmas shoot. I just love how they turned out. We got them done from http://www.tenlittletoesphotography.com/and she gives you all digital photos along with the copyright. She charges 75$ for everything (I think that might be her portfolio building price:) Anyway, here are some of the ones I love. We are saving the rest for our Christmas cards!

Halloween

Faith had a great time and came home with a bucket of candy! I don't know what we will ever do w/ it all! She had a blast going with all the "big" kids and didn't want to trick or treat with her parents AT ALL! Connor did really well. I didn't try his costume on because it was 0-9 months and just assumed it would fit. Well it was bursting off of him, lol. His feet were wedged into the bottom, so we pretty much just put it on him to get some pictures. We forgot the stroller so we left him behind w/ the guys to pass out candy and he ended up finishing out the night asleep!

Connor's 5 months old today!

Faith was so excited about going to the park for a picnic today! The whole time during story time she kept telling the librarian about it. We go to this park a lot because there is never a crowd and the birds are not aggressive (at Rio Vista, they are crazy and will snatch food out of your hand). They were playing so well at the park we stayed for a long time. Faith actually wanted me to take her picture. I'm glad I had my camera on me because I usually don't take it w/ me on library days! Bonus: they even match, lol.
Connor loved the grass! He kept pulling it out of the ground by the handfuls! Later during the day I saw that he was breaking out on his forehead. Maybe he's allergic? I did let him lay in the grass for a pretty long time. It was actually nice out in the shade today.















Being so nice to each other, how could I not take a pic?









Hmm, can you tell I've been making her pose for pics since she was two? I guess now it's just habit for her? I didn't even ask for a pose, how sweet!

4 Months

I can't believe Connor is almost 5 months old!!! He loves to listen to us read at night with Faith. He sits up for a couple minutes at a time on his own. He's started eating baby food (just pureed 80oz of his carrots and my hands are orange!) and he stays awake more during the day (although, he's been napping for the last 2 hours which is unusual). He normally naps about an hour at a time. If I'm lucky some days he gets up at 6:30, but it's not unusual for him to wake up around 3ish am to eat (can't you tell he's starving?) For the most part he's mellow and just goes with the flow! He is so much calmer than Faith. I guess I'm glad I had the hard one first because I'd rather have a "sparky" 3 year old and an easy baby instead of the other way around. I've had three years to get used to craziness and now it's my norm:) We keep ourselves busy busy busy, like always we have our regular schedule of Monday's being tot town and Wednesday's being library. Most weeks we add in at least one to two other activities.

We have been quite busy lately:) I haven't emptied my camera into the computer so I can't post any new pics yet. Some new things Connor does right now include sitting up for a couple seconds at a time by himself, finding his feet and attempting to hold them, actually playing with the toys in his exersaucer, laughing loudly(he's been doing that for a while but it's hard to get him to do it), and drooooling like crazy. Faith's new tricks include...j/k. She loves learning time, however it's a chore for me:) I bought a preschool curriculum that she really looks forward to. I've been trying to do learning time two times a week. However, some weeks we are so busy w/ my moms group, tot town, the library in addition to everyday errands, sometimes we have to skip.


We did get some pictures taken by a photographer that we know and you can view them here: Faith and Connor just click on Faith and Connor on the right side of the screen.

We LOVE the pics! You can also go to her website to view some of her other work: Bri Holloway Photography

I'll try to get some of our everyday photos downloaded this weekend...but no promises:)

Happy 70th birthday daddy! I got a great pic of him and Connor at his birthday party. The last one is Faith and Connor's second cousin, Jayden. He's 4 months older than Connor but Connor is a bit husky (as Ian calls him).

My Happy Babies!

I guess I've come a long way since Faith was born. OH, HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED. I used to care about petty things and now I'm like forget it. What seemed like a big deal then has become so petty now. For example:

Then:
Clothes w/ one little stain went in the "don't even think about leaving the house" drawer or the donation box. I'm not kidding, if it had even the smallest stain...
Now:
It has to be really stained to go in that drawer or the donation box.
Then:
Baby couldn't leave the house w/ out shoes on (or at least socks)
Now:
It's too hot, we're running late, go barefoot!, well just if your a baby.
Then:
Don't yell outside, you'll disturb all the neighbors.
Now:
Yell as much as you want, outside:)
Then:
Don't leave the house w/ out makeup on (even to check the mail).
Now:
Well, I'm still a little obsessed w/ that one, but I'm opening up~I check the mail now sometimes w/out putting my make up on.
Then:
I wish I had more money to go on vacations and do stuff w/ my kids.
Now:
Who cares, they just want the attention from mommy and daddy we don't have to spend big bucks to get a million dollar smile.

I could go on and on...

I've realized I don't have to capture every "first" on camera or photo, I don't have to be the mom that can do it all plus some, and I don't need to do extravagant things to feel like my family loves me. Most of all, I've realized that there are going to be so many "firsts" that I as a mom get to do all by myself that it's okay if I just forget about some of them because I'm having a crappy day or have been stressed out. I'm really fortunate to be around my children to encounter their daily lives and the new steps they seem to find on a daily basis. I don't have to be told by someone else what new milestone they accomplished that day. I am sometimes sad that Ian doesn't get to see what I see everyday. I'm sure in a few more years I'll have realized many more things about being a parent. I look forward to the new memories and looking back and seeing how much my family and I have changed over the years.

In the end what really matters is that my kids know and love God, care about themselves and others and that I can prepare them to survive and make the best decisions in the world when they are out there all by themselves. God willing, there is always tomorrow to capture something new. I am truly blessed!


Million Dollar Smiles that didn't cost a dime:)

3 months

Connor is rolling over now, when he wants to. He just did it out of nowhere. I was able to get it on the camera thankfully. He is still sleeping a lot. The past few nights he's gone to bed at 8:30 and gotten up at 7 so I'm super happy with that routine:)

Faith and Connor

We had pictures today. Not impressed w/ the place we went to (Picture People). I REALLY wanted pictures of the two kids together and that's really the only reason I went. However they turned out terrible. So I had to settle for separate pictures that are okay (I'm picky). I scanned them so the quality is even worse. I'm really bummed I spent money and didn't get what I wanted!

2 Months Old

Connor is getting so big, so fast! His doctor's appointment was yesterday and he came in at 13lbs 5ozs and 23.5 in. He's such as good baby and am so thankful for him:) He is up to about 6 hours of awake time per day, so he's still sleeping 18 hours a day (down from 20 hrs when he was 5/6 weeks). He has been sleeping between 8 and 10 hours straight at night. However, now that I've made that known to everyone, he'll probably go back to 6 hours ha! Things are back to normal and am very happy to be back to the everyday business :)

My favorites

Some favorite pics of mine over the past few weeks.

1 month already

Okay, so this is going up a little late (only by a week:) I can't believe he's already 5 weeks old! I guess time flies by when you're trying to adjust to a new routine. Anyway, here are the recent pics I have. Since I was taking pictures of Connor, Faith wanted her own picture too. Then she wanted all of us, minus daddy since he wasn't home.

Swim lessons!

Faith started taking swim lessons this summer. On the first day the teacher told them all to sit on the edge and put their feet in the pool. What does Faith do? She jumps in, nice. Anyway, she loves it and it's teaching her to follow directions.

On another note, here I am up w/ Connor because he can't sleep. The poor kid is in pain so we are switching formula, hopefully after a day he will be back on track. He's on somewhat of a schedule. He wakes up from 8-10am and then sleeps the rest of the day (waking up only to eat every three hours) and then at 5pm we keep him awake until at least 7. This isn't exactly the best timing since I start dinner around 4:45 or 5. Then again who ever said kids were convenient? Then he only wakes up twice during the night to eat. I can't complain really. Faith never slept like this so I'm considering myself lucky. He really isn't much extra work in addition to Faith. Somehow, she's become more work and is driving me nuts. Therefore, we are taking swim lessons, going to summer movie fun days, going to the library, attending mom's group meet ups, all in addition to the everyday activities and errands...

Life with 2

5/15/09 Connor Ian McKillip 7 lbs 9 oz 20.75 inches 11:55am

Big Sister's Room and Baby Brother's Room!

Faith's 3rd Birthday!

Faith had a blast at her birthday party, which we decided to do at home in our back yard this year. Everything went perfect, couldn't have asked for a better day. Faith loved everything about it! She wanted the swords instead of the princess wands lol, whatever it's her birthday! Sherry (my sister) made the most awesome cake! One layer was chocolate and the other was champagne flavored (my fav) Faith ate the top cake (just a few bites though), she was so excited about her very own cake instead of just a piece. Faith loved her princess castle cake!

Baby Shower

Okay, here are probably the only pics I will be posting of me prego lol. The first one I'm 33 weeks and the second one I'm 35 weeks. At my 35 week ultra sound the Dr. said everything was great. He thinks he will be over 9 pounds and said he's glad I'm having a c section a week early (I had to have a c section w/ Faith also, due to medical reasons). The dr. said he's going to be huge. Now, I don't know if that was him trying to make me feel better cause I've been concerned that he's not very big, but that's what he said.

The baby shower was on Saturday. It was perfect! I got so many wonderful gifts and so much stuff that I needed. So many people have given me clothes I don't think I'll have to buy him any clothes until he's like a year! Oh yeah, we finally decided on the name ~ Connor.

Happy Easter!

Decorating Eggs on Saturday! Easter bunny came on Sunday and then after church we went to cousins house had an egg hunt and ate lunch. Busy busy day!

Yesterday was Kids Club (aka "Duper Day" by Faith)! She had a blast! She totally participates now in the whole hour that we are there! She does stop for a snack/drink or two, but jumps right back into the action. She just loves Duper the groundhog (whatever lol). It was on April Fools so they gave away funny face glasses, which Faith got a kick out of. It was also her birthday month so she got to sit w/ Duper while everyone sang happy birthday! I can't believe she's going to be three! Anyway, the Easter Bunny made a special presentation! The look on Faith's face was absolutely speechless. All I could do was smile:)

After Kids Club we went to the play area and met up with a friend. She pretty much ran in circles yelling "Michael where are you?", he's one of her friends from my mom's group. Then we went to a few stores and then outside for a "mall picnic". We don't eat in the food court because Faith just LOVES having a picnic on the stone benches outside just before we leave the mall. Plus the stuff is crap (even Paradise Bakery microwaves instant mac and cheese YUCK!) and it's expensive so I'm good with packing a picnic, especially since she prefers it LOL:) We went to a couple more stores and we didn't end up getting home till 4pm, YIKES! I'm still hurting today from all the walking (I guess it's the joys of pregnancy:)


Just as I go to take a picture, Faith turns and says:

Okay, so I guess it's time for an update. Had my 32 week check up today and in three weeks I start going every week WOW! Things are going by pretty quick. We have Easter, the baby shower then Faith's birthday all in April then three weeks later BAM~ time for baby. I've for sure hit the nesting stage and have been going crazy cleaning out all the pot shelves and cabinets, finishing Faith's baby book (not her scrapbook that's another story:), finishing the decor in Faith and the baby's room and a couple of other things are on the list but I don't remember them off hand. And, NO we don't have a name yet it's been the hardest thing to come up with. Ian has promised that we will narrow it down by the baby shower, but we'll see!

Faith as usual has been keeping me SUPER BUSY. With story time at the library, and tot town (a gym filled w/ toys at a local church that opens up to let kids play) usually we got to these things for sure every week in addition to whatever the mom's group is doing:) I've been feeling pretty exhausted (so we've skipped library for a couple of weeks. Faith's getting pretty board with the same books though, so it looks like I'll have to go this week lol.

Here are a couple of things we've done recently! We went to Bounce World on 67th and Peoria (I LOVE this place)! They are only 6 bucks for 3 hours (from 10-1) and the owners are the nicest people. They have like 7 different things to play on and Faith loves them all.


The second is of a Luke Air Force Base Tour that someone in our mom's playgroup set up. It was the best! We had so much fun and Faith was very well behaved. It was days like this that helped me feel confident that I can handle another child LOL. She listened and obeyed the whole time and I was so proud of her. The worst thing she did was NOT want to hold my hand and then made me drag her on the slippery floors because she was pretending to have skate shoes on lol. It was a perfect day!

Wildlife World Zoo

Faith kept saying we were on a wild safari while we were at the zoo!

Cards Game
Chuck E. Cheese's
Pump it up
Rio Vista Park
Park

Okay, our computer is up and running again:) Whoo hoo! So I will be posting some updates soon. I haven't been posting much cause I've just had the laptop and that thing sucks! Here in the next couple of days you should see some new pics of the past couple months activities. I haven't been able to download anything either so there aren't many pics but a few!

This is too cute and totally shocked me. She is saying "GOD IS NUMBER ONE, GOD IS NUMBER ONE!" I didn't catch it the first time she did it but this was the second time during the night, not as cute but still awesome!

IT'S A BOY!

6th and Final Chirstmas! At Grandma Julie's!

No pics for Grandma Juile's house either, just a time to relax and enjoy! Here are a few of the after holiday photos! The ones at the mall were actually the Monday before Christmas~I know I'm crazy~ we had a Mall Meetup with my moms group, so I was up and felt courageous that day. The first 2 are my favorite candid pics for this Chirstmas!

5th Christmas- Christmas Evening at the Hollands

By this point I think I was too tired to take many pictures. The 3 girls (Faith's 2nd cousins) had a lot of fun playing Ring a Round the Rosie! Well, the last picture, hmmm lets just say Ian got tired at the end also. He threw a sticky hand toy to the ceiling and it stuck and he decided to use a barbie doll to attempt to get it down. Eventually someone just lifted Faith up and she got it down!

4th Christmas- Christmas lunch at the Suttons!

Third Christmas- JUST US on Christmas Day!

Faith was soooo excited to see if santa filled her stocking. The first ones are of her saying "for me?" It was SUPER cute! Then of course, I made everyone get dressed in regular clothes (I do every year:) before we opened our gifts from each other! Toward the end Faith was pictured out!

Christmas 2 of 6

Christmas Eve- Sherry's house no pics, yeah, just time to kick back, stress free.

Here are some pics of Ian setting up the trampoline on Christmas Eve. Aaron came over to help also!

The First Christmas (of Six)

The Sunday before Christmas- My family at our house

COOKIES FOR SANTA!

We baked cookies for Santa last night. Faith LOVED it and she is SO SO SO excited to see if Santa is going to bring her a Phx Suns shirt and a curling iron tonight in her stocking! I don't think she even cares what we get her! Except she did make sure to let Santa know that she wants mom and dad to get her a trampoline! Ian will have fun assembling that tonight after we get back from my Sherry's house! Whoo hoo!

Okay I must be on a blogging spree... I love Christmas, it's my favorite time of year for sure. However, I want to be sure Faith really understands what Christmas is really about (in addition to all the fun crap :), santa (who gets credit for the stockings only), baking cookies for santa, shopping, etc). I just can't imagine telling her the BIG BIG stuff is from santa. This year we got her a trampoline, and that's really all besides a pretend tool box and some other small stuff. I guess we are too greedy to actually let her believe the good stuff is from santa. Santa will be bringing her some movies, a curling iron and Phoenix Suns Basketball shirt (exactly what she asked for). So at this age the wowness is still going to be there, maybe we'll change our minds as she gets older (if it's not to late in the game:) Not to worried about that though. I want to be more focused on the real meaning.

It was so cute the other day when she was talking to my mom and my mom said something to her about Christmas not being just presents, Faith replied to her "Christmas is Jesus' Birthday!" It was so sweet to see my mom's face light up in amazement that Faith knew that. I know it's not the whole meaning of Christmas, but for a two year old that's about as complex as it's going to get. She did say tonight that we have a star on top of the tree so the "men can find Jesus in his nest at night" We've been reading a book about the stable Jesus was born in and she just asked me tongight why Jesus was sleeping in a nest (hay). She got really upset and yelled "NO NEST". It was really funny. Well, until the next blog...

Okay, no pics cause I don't want to ruin the surprises! However, I just finished working w/ Faith for over an hour doing handprint crafts for a couple of Christmas presents for family. I hope they like them. Faith and I had some yelling at each other time and some "I forgive you time" lol. She is so big now and communicates better than me sometimes he he! I normally don't blog but I guess I felt like I needed to right now, IDK. Still some ironing left to do to set the paint to the fabric, but we are letting it dry first...

Baby updates: I can feel him/her moving around on a daily basis now:) I just started feeling these movements last Thursday. I went in for a few blood tests about 2 weeks ago, thankfully I didn't pass out (sometimes I do, hasn't happened in a while but I'm always afraid I will). The person taking my blood was a weirdo. Talking about deaths in her family several years ago (I just tried to say nice things and talk back w/ her). UNTIL she started talking about how she should have been a twin and how true it was when a few weeks ago her dog started barking at her head when she was asleep and he started biting her head, IT WAS HER TWIN GROWING OUTTA HER HEAD~~ WHAT? At this point I stopped talking to her or responding to anything she said. No more feeding into this conversation, I just wanted to go!

I got to hear his/her heart beat last week. It's 165 and the dr. joked about it being a girl (fast heartbeat= girl, old wives tale). We really want a boy, but have come to a point that I'm good with another girl:) Who knows, if it's another girl maybe in 3-4 more years we'll try for a boy, however I can't imagine have THREE girls so I don't know if I'd want to risk it. We'll find out December 31st if it's a boy or girl!

I've lost 8 lbs since being pregnant. Got on the scale today to see 2 lbs added:( That's okay, at this time during my pregnancy w/ Faith I had gained about 25 lbs. I'm into my 5th month now and will be 18 weeks on saturday! WOW almost half over~ AWESOME! I will let everyone know when we find out the gender~

Some more wedding pics from James and Brianna's Wedding.

We had our Dr's appointment today and Faith got to meet Dr. Sawyer! She was kinda confused. He said hello, I've meet you before! She was like what???, I don't know you. He told her, "I was the first person to hold you, even before your mommy". I don't think she really understood though.

Everything went well. We got to see the heart beating and Faith held my hand (so I wouldn't be scared:) (dr's orders, basically so she'd stop running around, ha). Anyway, everything is good:) According to the ultrasound, I'm due on May 25th, according the stats I'm due May 22nd. However I'm scheduled to have a C section on or after May 15th!

Well, I guess it's time to tell everyone why I've been in hiding for the past few weeks. Morning sickness SUCKS. It's been worse with this pregnancy than with Faith. This time I'm actually throwing up. Faith will sit w/ me and say "whoo, you have the hiccups BAAAADDD"! I'm mostly past the morning sickness (I think), but for a couple of weeks, I was pretty much laying on the couch and by 4 pm I was good to start my day. I'm due around May 22nd and I have my first Dr.'s appointment on November 13th. We'll keep you all posted:)

Halloween Party

Today was the Kid's Halloween Party with the mom's group that I'm in. Faith had so much fun and even though it was really hot out she kept her costume on for about an hour. They had pony rides and bouncy houses, and lots of food and CANDY! She only got a cookie and 3 pieces of candy, but I hardly give her candy and now she won't stop asking for it. GRRRR! Can't wait to see what happens on Halloween:)

WILDLIFE WORLD ZOO

Okay, I had Faith walk the whole time. I didn't even bother taking the stroller with me. We were there 4 hours and had a blast! She loved seeing all the animals and had a wonderful time w/ all her friends. There was just one time that she didn't listen. There was a bridge and two of her other friends just took off running away. I yelled she stopped but the others didn't. It was so funny cause I could tell that she really wanted to listen and obey. She looked at me and then at her friends that kept running and it was like you could see the battle w/ in. Then she caved and kept running. She had to hold my hand for 5 minutes (of course that was just tourture). Then she listened the rest of the time.

Just some Family Fun!

Family Hug!

Weekend Wedding

To finish off our weekend: Brianna and James got married. Here are just a couple of pictures, we didn't get many since my camera was dying and the card was full from our busy week!

McCormick Stillman Railroad Park

Faith enjoyed every minute there!

Growing up so fast!

WOW, she looks so big, I guess cause she is. She's now 31 lbs and wears size 4T (mostly) some stuff she can wear 3T but I HATE when her shirt shows her stomach and it's not supposed to. 4T is too big, but I'd rather it be to big than to small:)

She was SOOOO good today! We went to the store and she actually walked the whole time while holding onto the cart:) :) :) She didn't try to run from me or anything. This has been a consistant battle w/ her and usually ends up with her crying and sitting back in the basket and me stressed to no end and forgetting at least 2 things on my list. NOT TODAY! I got everything on my list:) So anyway, I told her if she was good at the store she could have a snow cone (we have an ice shaver-it's the best, then I add juice:)or I freeze the juice and then shave it).



FREEZING from her "snow cone"
Yet she just can't get enough:)

Barnes and Noble Story Time

I didn't even know B&N did this! It's EVERY Tue. and Sat. at 11am (that's what the storyteller said anyway) Faith loved it! She is used to story time at the library though. She kept waiting for the singing to start:) Never did. The craft was much cooler though pumpkins with sequence.

Deer Valley Airport

Today was beautiful as we sat on the patio w/ our moms group and ate breakfast/brunch. Faith had a wonderful time watching the planes land and take off. The weather was so enjoyable and Faith was such a good girl:) It couldn't have turned out better! Faith and I shared a meal and it was still too much food. Two eggs (Faith devoured them w/ out sharing w/ me:) 2 pieces of sausage (I was able to have one piece, thanks Faith:), 2 pieces of toast and half a plate of hash browns for $4.59. I filled up on coffee. Love my caffeine!

CEC

I feel so busy all the time, I guess because I try to keep Faith busy so she doesn't drive me nuts. I'd rather be tired than crazy! Or maybe I'm a little bit of both. Anyway, here are a few pics of CEC. Next week we are going to the Deer Valley Airport for lunch to watch the planes take off and land, story time at Barnes and Noble and to finish the week off, McCormick Stillman Railroad Park. Oh yeah, a wedding on Saturday. So I'm sure I'll have many many more pics to post next week:), and I'll be double tired;0

My beautiful blue eyed girl! She's a Spark as Aunt Sherry would say!

Children's Museum of Phoenix!

Regardless of all the nasty things I go through with Faith (and the pain she puts me through) , having her for my daughter still makes my heart melt! She takes off running (no I'm not a good runner and she knows it) and makes me fear for her life. She's been kickn' my butt lately but she has also been growing up right before my eyes! She is going to make a wonderful big sister eventually and I can't wait to experience even more joy watching her grow in new ways!

Children's Museum of Phoenix!

OH YEAH! Ian got me an IPod. Still trying to figure it out. Don't really have much time to sit down and play with it for obvious reasons shown in picture:) Plus look at me, I'm sitting her at 2 am trying to get caught up on flippn blogging:) ha! I will master the art of music through technology soon though!


Okay, I can't believe she knows how to ride a scooter now. The last time we were at Tot Town she didn't even want to try!

Rachael and Faith (the kid in the middle is from the play group, can't remember her name). Rachael HAD to have the baby with her. It was really cute.

Okay, so I'm really behind on blogging. Here are a few highlights from the past couple of months.

Faith and Rachael at Tot Town!

IT'S TIME FOR A BIG GIRL BED! She has done an awesome job transitioning (sp) into her new bed. Not only that, she doesn't have her aquarium attachement anymore (because it only attaches to the crib) and we took her nightlight out (because there is a huge toybox in the place of the nightstand now). We are so proud of her!
Fun times at the Splash Pad!
Faith is still IN LOVE w/ Duper (the kids club mall mascot)

I just HAD to snap this photo. She decided she needed her princess crown on to LICK the butter off of her baby bagel (gross) at least she eats it after licking it:)

BUILD A BEAR


The best cake EVER, at Alyssa's birthday party~

Okay, between facebook, myspace blogging and whatever else I've been doing~ I'm going to cut back to facebook and blogging and eventually I'll probably just blog on facebook, but one step at a time:) Anyway here it goes...

OAISIS GYM w/ MOMS GROUP. Okay, it kinda looks like my typical day:)

LOOOOOOK AT MEEEEEE!!!


ALWAYS on the Go Go Go ~

I'm ready to go help daddy in the yard~ Ha, we had just got up on a Sat. morning and Ian NEEDED to fix the front yard. Faith really wanted to help, so before I could even get her dress, here she was saying "ready to help daddy"
Play Area at the Mall~
Grandmother got her HOOKED on oatmeal and blueberries~

Vacation Week

Our trip to Sedona.
After Matt and Jamie's wedding in Flagstaff we headed to Sedona. We stayed there for a day and came home. Then we took Faith "camping" (to my parents cabin, if you will). We had a really good time, except for Faith waking up at 4am waiting for the sun to come up for the next two hours. From 4am to 6am we listened to Faith talk about how the sun would be waking up soon and how she would get up and play once the sun is up. She was actually very well behaved and I was shocked that the 2.5 hour car trip wasn't very bad at all.




Playing in the forest!




Someone didn't want to walk anymore! Cranky booty!

Happy 4th !

These pictures just make me want to smile out loud! Happy 4th of July Everyone!



















OH YES, before I forget AGAIN, another laugh out loud/I'm so embarrassed moment: No Pics for this one.


On our way to church one Sunday, Ian and I were telling Faith that we were going to some friend's house (Brett, Heidi, and Emma) after we go to church. Well, to make a long story short, Faith no longer crys "GO BACK HOME" when we pull up to church so it's been all good since then. Except this day she saw we were pulling into church rather than Emmieee's drive way and she kept saying "go to Emmieeee's house". We told her we would after church and all seemed to be good... Until we got to the drop off point at Bible School. BTW she's had a habit of saying the word NEED mid sentence. I think she got it from when I put my make up on in the mornings and she starts to run away w/ something of mine, I tell her that I "need" it and to come back. Anyway, when we went to drop her off at Sunday School, she DOUBLED over on the ground screaming "I don't NEED Jesus!!!" How embarrassing!!! I don't think anyone except the child care worker, and the people behind us heard it, thank goodness!

Bribes!

Today was movie day: Mr. Magorium's Magic Emporium I kinda wanted to see it so before we left the house I told Faith if she was good during the movie she could have a piece of chocolate. I propped it up and didn't let her touch it. I'm so bad...but we got through the movie with one potty break and some coaching through the end:O) The whole way home she kept saying I get a piece a chocolate! The second we got throught the door she ran straight to the propped up slice of chocolate and she started ripping it open. So cute...

The beloved piece of chocolate!
The sweet taste of victory!

Faith has started posing (sp?) for pics, here's the little princess in action!

Just had to throw in these two. Wow, what a little apple snatcher:0
28 months old



10 months old.

Sorry guys! I'm long over due for an update. Things have been super crazy the past few weeks. Some highlights:

Father's Day! I love you daddy! Faith did an excellent job painting daddy a picture for him. Thanks for all your hard work, we love you daddy!
Just a brief glimps of a split second of my day!

At the Circus w/ cousins Ben and Rachael! Faith can't stop talking about them. Every night while she's in bed she says I go to circus with Ben and Rachael (she pronounces Ritchel) and see the elephants *pronounced elphnts.
For some strange reason, Faith doesn't like humans in costumes that are still recognizable as people. For example at Chuck E Cheese's and on "Duper Day" (at the mall) she will run up to the "people" in full head to toe costumes. When it comes to people dressed up, she's a bit freaked out.
Faith decided to go sit w/ my friend Liz and her son Devon during the circus. She was getting extreamely antsy and Liz bribed her to sit down w/ her to eat some popcorn. Gave me a second to actually see what was happening at the circus! Faith is a little bugger sometimes~

First time in the pool w/ daddy! It was sooooooo cute. I just stood there and watched for a few minutes. Then I thought grap the cam. Ian thought I was running to the store quick, all the while I was enjoying the view of daddy and daughter. UNTIL...............................................



..........................................my little nark pointed and said say cheese!!! Still super cute though!



Fun times w/ Friends at a place called Busy Bodies (man they are rake'n in the $, only cost us 5$ which is the only reason we went. Faith loved it). Normally cost 10for visiters. Whatev

Embarassing Moments thanks to Faith!! Read if you need a good laugh!

No pics today, however I just have to let you guys know how our day went.

We went to Sam's Club: All went well until... we left and the guy at the exit checked our ticket (usually Faith says ho ho cause the guy has a beard and she relates anyone w/ a beard to santa). LUCKY me this time she says "bye bye olt man" (old man)!!! What where did she get that?

Next is Walmart: She always says "I gotta go poop" when we are at walmart. Usually not many people are around, but this time we were walking through the electronic and it was packed. NOT TO MENTION SHE YELLS WHEN SHE TALKS!!! Then she sees an older guy and YELLS "that's my grandpa" What the frikn heck child??? I guess that's better than "bye olt man".

To top things off:
Ian, Faith and I went to the mall later tonight and she kept pointing at a teenage kid with longer black hair and kept saying I see a MONKEY. Mind you all the while she is YELLING!!!!

What a day:)

Tot Town!

The grill is very hot, like daddy's!


Nana Kim and Pops get Faith to swing for the first time!

Trampoline Pro!

Seaseme Street Live @ Dodge Theater

We went to SSL on Friday May 2nd. It was great! Besides the fact that Faith continued yelled "go see them" because she wanted to go on stage and be w/ all the characters, she did pretty well. Tickets were a great deal for only 13$ each (normaly 60), popcorn was 4$ and a concert T was 15$. So as I was leaving Dodge Theater I was thinking all in all it was a great show costing me just 45$ bucks plus about $6 in gas. Then, it came time to pay for parking, and that was what put me over the edge! Flippn parking was more than a ticket, WHAT! 14$ ???? For 3 hours and 2 minutes? I will not be back to the Dodge Theater due to the fact that parking cost WAY too much and it ruined my experience because I was upset for the rest of the day.






Faith's reaction when the "Elmo's World" segment came on!
Yummy Yumm, popcorn!
















Gotta Love Elmo!

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY!

Wow! I can't believe Faith is already 2. She is growing up so quick. It seems like somedays she has matured overnight. Weird!! Sadly these are the best pictures
I have:( Sooooo, if you have any pics of her bday, send them my way. It would be greatly appreciated!!

Fun Time 4 Kids

It's been a slow week and a half, activity wise anyway. I've been busy wrapping up odds and ends for the big party on Sunday. Okay, well I just keep adding things to the birthday party:) Once I'm done with one thing, I find something else to add. I go overboard, but I'm having fun! Before I know it Faith is going to want me to back off and she's going to want to do things herself. So I figured, run with it while I can!

We went to Fun Time 4 Kids today. It's basically a huge room with 10+ different playhouses with different themes. There is a school house, a garage, grocery, salon, dress up, ice cream parlor, firehouse, hospital, music room, bowling alley etc. So, we just let the kids run and play. I probably won't go back. Faith had a wonderful time but was pretty much done after 2 hours. I didn't think it was worth 9.50, and that's w/ a group discount. The idea is great. You can stay as long as you want, but you can't bring outside food or drink and once you leave there is no re entry. It's a huge glorified backyard and playroom put together, minus a swing and pool.




Ice Cream Party!!! Faith's friend Allison kept saying let's have a tea party, but Faith said Ice Cream Party!! I guess she takes after daddy!
















Faith is having a wonderful time. She's doing some kind of dance with her hips.





The ice cream cones are sweet! They have the name of the color on the underneath part of the scoop. So it helps the kids learn their colors.

What's this? Having fun learning to golf! Not interested in it for very long. Faith kept going back to the ice cream parlor.




Logan is one of Faith's friends (she calls him Logat). For a second I thought she was going to give him a kiss. However, she just looked at him for approval to sit next to him and play the piano.
Hanging out and sharing boots with Logat! Actually Faith had the one boot first and Logan wanted it so he was following her around waiting for her to ditch it:)

Thanks Connell Family! Faith totaly love EVERYTHING that Great Aunt Lisa, 2nd Cousins Alyssa and Gracie sent. Faith really likes Mickey mouse and all the coloring books were a huge hit. I got the package and opened it. My mistake, I didn't put her down for a nap first and she was so excited she started pulling everything out of the box. She likes to take the clothes off of the Build a Bears and she will NOT go to bed w/ out her cow and kitty. I wanted to wait and let her open the gifts at her bday party~however, she was soooo excited and I melted because she said pleeeaaase momma with the puppy dog eyes!

We went to the Wildlife World Zoo today! Boy was it HOT HOT HOT!!! What is it, mid April? And we already are at 98 degrees. I mean sheeshhh! This is the exact reason we want to move. No more outdoor activities, no more cooking with the oven, no more going for walks unles it's 5 am or 7pm etc etc. Yah yah I know, it's so cold in Indy! I don't like to sweat anyway. I'd be soooooo happy walking around the zoo in freezing weather. Trying to keep up with a kid and hopefully kids (in the next couple of years) will keep my body temp. up anyway.

Well, I had to literaly had to run after Faith like 3 or 4 times at the zoo. Our friends even had to help out because she would run to one side of the bridge and once I got to that side she would run to the other (hmmm, I guess I shoulde have been on the bridge when I was trying to corner her). She wouldn't eat lunch because once she saw the dinky little playgroud area, all she could think about was "play play play" ~Her exact words. She refused to eat. So she sat there and watched everyone else eat lunch and after about 15 to 20 minutes we went to the play area. Then wouldn't you know once we got there, she could care less about it. Anyway here are the highlights of today:




Feeding the giraffe. It really turned my stomach! I never knew how LONG a giraffe's tounge was~it's really gross!



Just a few of our friends:)


Petting "Zoo"~ these animals are very agressive if you have any food. If you don't have food, they go for your clothes! Interesting, gross and fun.

COUNTY FAIR~the first time for both of us!

We went to the Fair today because it was free to get in. Ha what a scam, so I saved 5 flippn bucks~I could have parked across the street and saved the same amount. However, "FREE ENTRANCE UNTIL 3pm" got us (my mom's group) there.

We ended up spending 40$ (for Faith and me) when it was all said and done with (parking, rides, pony ride (can't use tickets!) and lunch). Yes, 40$ to some may seem like no big deal, but it has definitely put us back some! I will cut out on groceries to make up for it:) It's not like I need it! Cause, after all there is so much more to do this month: The Wildlife World Zoo, Brunch at Deer Valley Airport(I think that's it for this month). I only ever spend money on Faith~I can usually go w/out or eat what she doesn't. I have grown accustom to eating her leftovers (rather than buying my own) when we are out since things are so expensive for us right now.

Sometimes I feel really guilty for spending money on stuff like this and I really end up beating myself up for it. However, the memory of Faith and me going to the Fair together can never be replaced with anything! A few outfits or a dinner or two at a restaurant, NOTHING! We will always have the pictures and even though Faith probably won't remember I will always have the memories.

THANK YOU DADDY! WITHOUT DADDY WORKING TWO JOBS FAITH AND I WOULD BE STUCK AT HOME WITH NO FRIENDS, NO ONE TO PLAY WITH AND MOMMY GOING INSANE, OKAY FAITH GOING INSANE TOO! I MEAN, PAINT AND THE YARD ONLY GO SO FAR. SO ALL OF THIS IS MADE POSSIBLE BY: DADDY!


Faith is so excited, she just can't hide it!

On the elephant ride.
















Airplane ride. Okay, this thing was supper jerky and Faith had the control. It just about scared me to death! I had a slight headache once we were done and one of the other younger kido's threw up.


















Ridding the Rooster on the merry go round! Scared at first, but Faith finally warmed up to the Rooster like grandmother has at her house:)













Donkey ride $4, but so worth it!

















We both had lots of fun!














What a big girl now!


















Zonked in the car #5. This is the fifth time falling asleep since being born! (Hmmm, do I feel a trend coming on?) However she didn't had a nap at home in exchange for the 25 minute nap in the car.














What a big day for us both!

This week at Tot Town!

Crazy Girl!

Happy Anniversary! 7 years already?

WOW, and again WOW! Has it been 7 years already? Okay, okay I know on our 25th I'm still going to be saying the same thing! It seems like yesterday... anyway,


When my mom came over to watch Faith so Ian and I could go to the Improv (super fun, even the flat tire part:), she asked how long it had been. When my sister called and I told her we were going out for our anniversary she said "what has it been like 3 years now?" Ha! When my dad called to ask us how everything had gone the night before he asked "is it 5 years"? Well, I guess he was the closest. Except if you count my mom who didn't even pretend that she knew:)

So here is a question for those of you that have been married for more than seven years:

Is seven the lucky number? Are we past the seven year "itch"? Is it all up hill from here? (guess that one depends on how you look at it). Up hill=a long hike to better things or down hill=a fast track to the future of older age. ha ha ha!

Family pic (that my mom took) of us before we ditched Faith and went to the Improv!

To the Mall and Grandmother's house!

Feeding the chickens at grandmother's house! Faith had a blast.
Picking the oranges to take home!
Play Play Play. It's next to impossible to get a still picture of Faith.
Getting stronger everyday. What a little monkey!
So much fun with friends!
Ellie and Faith "push" the merry go round!

Happy 2nd Birthday!

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since we had Faith! Time flys and if you had asked me a month ago, okay even a day ago, "how many kids do you want" I would have said 2 that's it and I'm not budging.

However, Faith has become much more like a little girl and a BIT less of a brat in public and I can see myself being able to juggle another one in about a year or year and a half. I used to say I was done after 2 but if the next is another girl I think I would be okay with trying for a third. We'll see what happens, my story could change after church tomorrow:)

Mommy and Me at Daisy Mountian Railroad Park in Anthem!
Faith went into the splash pad area to "touch" the water...
...however 5 minutes later this is what she looked like. Oh well baby, we are still hitting the outlets before going home!



Second ride on the Choo Choo Train and so happy!


\













This is only the 4th time EVER since being born that Faith has fallen asleep on the way home since she was BORN. (yes I'm counting:) We spent 2 hours at Dasiy Mountian Railroad Park and then hit the Anthem outlet mall. It wasn't until 3:15 that we were even on our way home. Opps how time flys when you're spending $$$$$.

We read the "Bible" every night (baby bible) and we talk about Jesus and God everyday (or at least we try to). However, Easter is a time when Jesus sends the Bunny to let us know that we shouldn't forget about God. Even though we love him everyday and we know he is always watching over us, the Easter Bunny "pops" in once a year to remind us that Jesus died and rose again just for you and me. He does this for daddy's and mommy's also. Because everyone needs a little reminder, not just kids. That's REALLY what Easter is about anyway, right?

We have decided that our "story" behind the Easter Bunny is going to be this and we are sticking to it:) We really want to incorporate the "secular" holidays but at the same time, have the real meaning behind it.

I grew up knowing that there was "no such thing" ~BORING! Ha! Ha! I never believed in all of that stuff, Easter bunny, santa, etc. I felt robbed He he~ Meanwhile, on the other hand Ian believed as a kid but never knew the real meaning. Once he was old enough, he just knew it was pretend.

We want to have the fun and the meaning at the same time. I love being a parent, cause we call all the shots! Anyway, enough of me justifing our "stories". Faith is growing as we read/speak. So, here are the latest memories:

Busy, busy week!

Okay, this week has been so busy! I am racking my brain to remember what happened on Tuesday and Thursday-I just can't remember. All I know is that Faith plays, plays, plays non-stop.

Monday: Tot Town was nice but very busy. So Faith had others to keep her occupied and time flew by.

Wednesday: Our play group had an Easter Egg Hunt at the park on 67th and Happy Valley. Faith had a wonderful time at the park just playing and playing. Then we "hunted" for eggs. They were just thrown out on the field. Faith didn't quite get the concept. Another little girl ran into her and dumped over Faith's eggs and started taking them. Faith started to help her put them in her basket~ Whatever~ She had a lot of fun and that's what matters.

Thursday: We usually go to Bible Study but it was cancelled so we meet at someone's house for lunch instead. Little did I know that 287th ave and Bell is about an hour drive from our house:) Faith had an excellent time playing with Emma and Gracie (no pics sorry). Plus she was super good for the drive there and back.

Friday: Fire Station Tour was really fun except for Faith!!!!! She was a MONSTER! She kept running down the hall where the guys sleep and talking during the presentation. Okay yeah, she's two but so were the others and Faith was a maniac, it was so embarrasing. The firefighters even started asking her what was wrong because everytime I went to pick her up she flipped out and screamed over them talking.


Any wayhere are the highlights of our week!







Here's a sticker~ just stop screaming!!

Oh, yeah I forgot to add that Faith also ran out in front of the hose while another kid was spraying it. The fire fighter turned it off quick. Mind you, I had given her 3 time outs by this point. So, while I still have some hair left~~I need to go clean up the tornado (that goes by the name of Faith) that hit our house.

Back to McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park-
Faith really enjoyed the first time so we went back for their yearly "Little" (under 6yrs) event. Everything was free, face painting (didn't participate in that one), games, clown making ballon animals, petting zoo, several bouncy houses etc. She really liked the petting zoo!

The bouncy house actually ended up collapsing and Faith was under the dog pile. It was kinda facinating watching the other parents jump into an already deflating bouncy house to "rescue" their children while I just stood by cause there was no way I was going to be able to reach her with all the others that were in there. Another parent actually told me that I better get my kid cause it's going to cave in (like I was going to get past all the kiddos on top of her). I was panicing inside but just said to the guy "Oh it'll be okay". It turns out that a hose came off of the back of the unit and the operator just pluged it in and everything was okay. Even though, I was ready to dive in if need be. Oh, how parenting changes a person!


Faith's fav ride at Chuck E. Cheese's!

A new found love for Chuck E. Cheese
Faith and I have never been to "THE RAT" (so called by a couple of friends of ours:) However, I also have a new found love for Chuck E. Cheese. They stamp the parents and child(ren's) hands with the same number and check it before you leave to make sure they match. It's not a thing I depend on, but it sure makes a mom feel better when she doesn't see her busy busy, very active kind anywhere in sight. I don't have to panic or freak out because I know the two of us are the only ones to have the same number so there is no way she left the building. Puts a little ease to the mind, and I'll definately be back soon!


I love you Chuck E.
Psst! So does my mommy!

Where you goinn????? Faith follows him as he trys to break away for the 2nd time.
McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park- It's been a while since I posted--sorry! Faith has matured so much just in the past couple of weeks. I let her climb the "rock" at the park thinking she wouldn't be able to get past the first step. WRONG! She climbed it several times and went down the HUGE slide that I never thought of letting her even attempt. Oh well, she's a dare devil so I've found out!

We usually go to the park once a week or so. Faith loves the fact that she can go up the steps and down the slide by herself. She really enjoys the huge jungle gym but won't go down the slide because they are too big. However, it makes me too nervous when she is up really high and starts going toward an opening. So we'll stick to the little jungle gyms for now.

She has been doing okay with the potty training, she has even told me a couple of times BEFORE she needs to go instead of after the fact. She'll get it eventually. One night after she was tucked in for bed, she decided to tell me she had to go pee pee. I pulled her out of bed, put her on the toilet, waited, nothing---all done she says and wants down and thinks she is going to go and play. Nice try! She only did that a couple more times and I didn't fall for it, so she gave up.

Today we are going to "Pump It Up" with our play group.

Sunday at the Park
Daddy's Girl!

Question: How do you get JUST the jelly off of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

Answer: Give it to Faith!





Trying sooooo hard to get those game pieces!

All in all Christmas went very well! Ian and I went to Indiana the week before Christmas without Faith. It was a nice break from everything and we have determined that we want to move to a town just outside of Indianapolis. If everything works out then we plan to move sometime in May, it’s all up to God at this point.

Faith really enjoyed opening gifts this year and it was fun watching her tear into them. Last year she wasn’t really old enough to get into it. We spent lots of time with family and enjoyed the short time Ian had off. I think Christmas week this year is the most time Faith and I have spent with Ian since Faith was born. Definitely a Christmas to remember!


Faith enjoys the challange of unwrapping!




New P.J.'s Yeah!!!


Santa brings the family Suns gear!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Happy Holidays!




Have you been naughty or nice?



More nice than naughty! So says Santa!

This was the first time Faith has ever painted. It lasted long enough for me to take a couple of pictures.


Faith fell asleep on the way home from Tempe. She has only done this in the car for a total of 3 times since she was born. The other 2 times we were about 5 minutes from home. Thankfully she fell asleep this time at the beginning of the ride home.


Well, here it is almost December. Faith had a busy Thanksgiving week. Daddy was home all week so she was able to spend lots of time with him!

~TRICK OR TREAT~

Halloween was a blast! Faith really enjoyed being a butterfly and going door to door collecting candy. Daddy had to carry her part of the way, otherwise it would have taken a really long time. It took about an hour to go down our street and the one next to us. I'm not sure who had more fun me or Faith. {background history} I never went trick or treating until I was 12, none the less it was like I was a little kid again. On the other hand Daddy is an expert trick or treater explaining as we went, the correct techinique to collecting candy.

It was hard getting her to talk to people. She only said treaaa (treat) a couple of times. She finally started saying "theaaaa ya gaaaaaa" (there you go) after people put candy into her bucket. It was so cute a couple people gave her more candy after she said it.




Our butterfly getting ready to take off!




Faith is not really sure what's going on.


Starting to have a little fun!


The fun has definately kicked in.



...and now we're on sugar overload.








As I'm typing, Faith continues to periodically wake up. Maybe next year I'll give her just a couple of pieces of candy.

Tolmachoff Farms

Today we went to the pumpkin patch. Faith really enjoyed watching the animals and occasionally petting them. She was watching the cows so intensely that she didn't even realize a goat had sneezed on her. Disgusting! Where is daddy when you need him?

Faith made sure to say hi to the ostrich and moo to the cow! It was really hot out so we only lasted about an hour and a half. Faith wasn’t in the mood for pictures. I think she got some straw in her diaper ... but we managed to capture a couple shots anyway.




The first picture of the day, not too bad!





Hmmm, I think there is straw down my pants.



Say what? You want me to sit still?


















Finally a pumpkin I can pick up!



No more pictures pleeeeaaase!

Faith loves her purse that Aunt Sherry gave her. Sometimes she will keep it on all day. Faith loves looking through things to make eye contact!


Shopper in Training









I see you!

KEEPING BUSY!

Okay, I've decided that I should start writing when I post pictures.

Faith always has so much fun when we go to play groups. She loves every Monday when she goes to "Tot Town" (a gym at a local church filled with toys). The park and the splash pad are lots of fun too. One day we went back and forth between the playground and splash pad. She seemed to enjoy the mud so much more than any of the other activities. She is talking so much now. "There you are", "all done" or "all gone" are just a couple of her favorites. She is running everywhere and loves the outdoors.

Yummm!

I love the smoothies mama makes me for breakfast!

Thanks for the Cheongsam (chinese dress) Don and Denise!



Always on the go, go, go!

Faith had a BLAST at the Splash Pad!


Sharing is fun!



Where is everyone?


Spaghetti is awesome!


SMILE!

Look what I did today!

TOT TOWN WAS FUN!

The gym is divided up into two sides. One side filled with riding toys, and bouncy balls and the other side has different areas to play in. The areas had puzzles, dollhouses, kitchens, a bounce area, blocks, coloring, there was so much stuff to play with. We are going to love going every week. I kept mama B-U-S-Y! By far the bouncy balls were my favorite!


Not my favorite!


Hmmm! what's all this stuff?



Bouncy balls are the best!




I can do it all on my own!!!!

What? So I like Doritos, there's nothing wrong with that is there?








Mommy had to snap a few pics before getting upset.





Say Cheese!


I'm just cute and innocent!

I LOVE Crayons!!


Whoa!!! Maybe 5:30am is too early to get up for the day!

All clean and ready for bed!




Little Miss. Attitude...



...learns to jump!

Me and Mommy!

I went to my friend's house and had so much fun.
We played, swam, played, ate spaghetti, played,
ran into each other, played...
I want to go back to Alyssa's house again!

HAPPY 4th of July! I've decided I'd like to walk now!

Coming down with a cold, but still in good spirits!

4 months old

I'm 4 months old, yes I am!
Everyone says I'm quite a little ham.
Rubbing the fuzz on my head is lots of fun.
And I kind of like sucking my thumb.
I've tried green beans and rice cereal,
And I love watching others while they're eating a meal.
I like to laugh, cry and scream at a really high tone
But mommy says our house is a no crying zone. (I know she's kidding.)
I'm a busy body; I don't like to nap during the day.
I need to see everything around me, what can I say?
My feet are definitely my favorite toys,
I also like things that play music and make noise!
I can't wait to see what next month has in store,
I look forward to telling you so much more!





Sitting up all by myself!











My first teething cookie.
I LOVE COOKIES!











I just got shots at my 4 month check up. Mommy says I did an excellent job. I only cried for a couple of minutes.
