The Stinker aka Devin

Remember how I couldn't get any good pictures of him? Well I decided to try and get something on my own... now I don't have the skills or equipment like Cameron, so I guess this is just the best I am going to get for now.

Here is how we started out:

I got several of these grumpy pictures!

But then I told him I was going to tickle him:


And I got the right picture:


It may have been the right picture, but it was the wrong photographer, because Cam's got mad skills, and I am just a mommy that likes to take pictures of her kids!

The whole process took less then 30 seconds, why couldn't he have cooperated for 30 seconds last time? Rrrrrr!!!

Oh well, maybe next time we will hide my sister's cool train and he will actually sit happily for a picture!

My sweet nephew took these pictures for us. Devin was an absolute pain-in-the-you-know-what, but they still turned out cute, despite him being annoying.








I really LOVE the ones of Ally!!!

Blessings Coming... Ready or Not!!!

There is big news at our house:

Our family will be getting bigger... I don't have any fancy way of saying it, just: I am pregnant.

I have to mention this is a big surprise for us... um, I mean a HUGE surprise for us. First of all, we had decided about 6 months ago that we were done. I didn't want to do foster care, I didn't want to adopt... life was good, perfect. I love my two kids and everything was perfect and we decided that was enough...

But someone else had other plans for us. Heavenly Father decided that our family was NOT complete, and if I wasn't going to do anything about it, He was. So, the girl who is really not supposed to be able to get pregnant, is now 9 weeks pregnant.

I had my doctor's appointment and we heard the heart beat, and everything looks good.


Am I still in shock a little? Um, yeah. I have to admit the thought of sleepless nights, going through another c-section, possible bedrest again, and did I mention sleepless nights?, (this is one girl who loves her sleep!), is completely scary and overwhelming. But am I excited for this new little life? YES! And while I am still feeling overwhelmed and a little nervous, I am also feeling extremely blessed. This is going to be one very special little spirit that needs our family, and I can't wait to meet him/her!
