Singing, dancing, and twirling ...

Here are a few pictures from Sophia's Spring Program at school as well as Mother's Day!!

Can you find Sophia's face?  Her teacher's are on the watering can!
  Oh how we LOVE Miss Heather and Miss Pam!

Yes, she is "cheesing"! 

"Thank you Lord"

"Rrrr"

Aligators saying Thank you Lord!

Sweet Girl!

 Mother's Day with my BLESSINGS!!

Love this girl so much even tho some days she drives me crazy!

Best one of all three of us!  One day there will be a great picture ... until then ...

Love her!

 

You can tell these three kids were THRILLED to have their picture taken!
  Sophia is the only one we can bribe with dessert for a smile!  The other two could care less!

Happy Mother's Day to a WORLD CLASS MOTHER!

Mimi and her grand kids!  

I hope you had a wonderful time celebrating the blessings and "Mothers" in your life!

Wow, it's been SO "LONG!"

I can't believe it has been since the middle of October since I have blogged! :(  So sorry about that friends and family!  I tell myself each day, "I should blog about this .... or that ..." but never get the time to sit down to do so!

Here is what I have been working on the past few days .... you probably have seen the idea on Pinterest!  Gotta love me some Pinterest!  Although, I have been working on my Pinterest addiction and haven't been on for at least a month!  I know ... gasp now ...

My sis made one of these for Hannah, so I thought Sophia probably should have one too!  We split the felt so it cost both of us probably less than $5-7 to make this!

The ornaments are all hand made (many of the ideas were Sarah's ... gotta give her credit, I just copied!) and they come off and on the tree!  I can't wait till she wakes up to find it on the wall and has a chance to play with it!!

Thanks PINTEREST!

Since I haven't blogged in 2 months, here are the months in pictures ...

Trip to the Children's Museum in early November.  Jax had a blast playing in the sand!

Somehow I don't think a Harley is in her future!

Jax is NOT OK being in the passengers seat!

Tea anyone?

Digger + Princess = Hum?  

Fun picture from Eagle Creek while Nate and I had Jackson for the weekend!  We went for a nice long run!

Halloween 2012: The tale of a dog and his Princess!

My little pumpkins!

Sophia's Preschool Picture!  She is growing up so quickly!!

Hannah-banana the LadyBug, Cinderella Sophia, and Woof Jackson!

What a warm evening ... well, for the most part!

We ran into "Belle" in the neighborhood!  Sophia's friend Maddy!

Sugar-high or slap-happy ... you pick!

Every dog needs a good bath!

The LOOT ... no, she didn't get to eat it all ... she got about 1/16 of it over the month,
the rest either went in my mouth or the trash!

I promise to stick with it .... blogging is my way of journaling, but somehow I am running out of time!

Two Weeks in Review ... through pictures! :)

Two weeks ago I turned 31!  Wow!!  It sure seems like this past year went by so quickly!  It has been a wonderful year full of many blessings and many incredible memories!  I am so thankful to be where I am in life ... God be the Glory!  :)

I am still trying to learn to balance blogging with a very VERY active 2 year old.  We have been busy (as you know) preparing her new room and making the official move!  We have been busy playing outside soaking in some much needed rays, although I would really like to enjoy some spring weather before SUMMER comes! (Mother Nature ... please take this as my PLEAD and ONLY WISH, remember I am 24 weeks pregnant!)

We had a great Mother's Day celebrating Hannah's Dedication as well as my birthday with my family.  

Can you tell she is saying CHEESE?  

  

One of the best pictures of her in a LONG time, unplanned
 and in a weird place ... but  SUPER cute!

Smiling in her new green dress (what a bargain) and shaw made by Pat Campbell!

Mother's Day/Birthday/Dedication Lunch at La Hacienda!  Woot Woot for Mexican!

Recently Sophia really has been getting into playing hide-and-seek with Nate and I.  She loves to count to "13" (I know, random right?) ... then come find us!   I told her it was time to go to bed tonight and she said, I go hide mama ... did she THINK I wouldn't find her?  Ha!!

One other random note ... Mother's Day morning we spotted 3 (NASTY) possums in our backyard.  I tried to zoom the camera through the window to take their pictures.  They are such nasty things ... the long tail .. YUCK!  Thank heavens we were inside and they were outside!  And to think ... we don't even live in the country!

Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!!

I am working on a review of an awesome hand-knitted hat!  Get excited for the upcoming giveaway!

What have we been up to?

I honestly think I get the biggest slacker blogger award of the year!  So sorry!!! I am now 21 weeks along and STILL feeling sick at times, mostly in the evenings which cuts down on my blogging!!  I really am alive and Sophia is still growing and changing each and every day!  I wish I could get the energy to get back to my 2-3x/wk blogging!!  Maybe soon? 

Here are a few pictures of our past month ....

Playing at the park with Isaiah! :)  

Asking mommy and daddy to take my picture ... (Sometimes!)

Helping mommy prepare for Easter Brunch

Sitting on the Big Girl Potty all by myself ... We might be onto something ... she has FINALLY pooped in the toilet for 6 days in a row with clean/dry diapers at nap!!  Would would have thought it would take 5 months to get her to start going #2 on the pot?  Ahhhhh ... what a sigh of relief!!

Showing off the Easter eggs she colored with Mimi and Papa

Babysitting baby Hannah 

Listening for bowel sounds?  Ha!!  Most normal people would look and see this picture as a hug .. medical people think of bowel sounds! 

We had a very blessed Easter and celebrated with family!  What an awesome time to reflect on Christ's death, burial, and RESURRECTION!  He is Alive INDEED!!

I hope you had a very wonderful Easter!!

Sophia Meets Baby Hannah for the first time!

Last week Sophia had the chance to meet Baby Hannah for the first time!!  She absolutely LOVES her! She calls her "my baby Hannah!"  She gets quite upset when other people are holding her b/c she wants to do all the holding!!  So sweet!

After watching Sophia with Hannah, my heart just melted!  Sophia is going to make one awesome big sister!

My first time holding baby Hannah ... this is pretty neat!

Wow, this is so much fun!! A real-live baby!

I love touching her head!

Papa, Me, and Baby Hannah!  

Look she is touching my face! Ahhhhh!

Mimi, Me, and Baby Hannah!  

I am holding her all by my big-self!!  

Hannah FINALLY has arrived!

As most of you know, my one and only sister Sarah was pregnant!  No longer ... Baby Hannah Elizabeth Jeffers finally has arrived!!  She came into this world Saturday, February 26th around 4am.  She was 7 lbs 10 oz and 20 inches long!!

She is such a sweet girl!

Enjoy the pictures!  Somehow I forgot to have someone take my picture when I was visiting!!

My parents, Debbie and Brad ... AKA Mimi and Papa

Exhausted after a long labor process!

Such a sweet girl!

Sophia has yet to meet Hannah, but I promise pictures at their first meeting!!
