We had our Family pictures today from the beautiful Rebbecca Kyle. Every year during the Christmas card season she does family pictures free of cost for family of Special needs children's. My sweet friend Cynthia got Rebbecca intouch with us and I was so excited!! This is our 1st family pictures we have ever had, the last 3 years have been CRAZY!! We had Abby in June of 2008, had Brody in Oct 2009, found out Brody had special needs in April of 2010 and then in Jan of 2011 Emma-Kate was born. David also was working to get his Masters to own his owe company. Add in David losing his job and was out of work for 6 months and 3 babies it gets crazy but we are blessed!! On to the pictures!!!

Our Weekend with Friday added to it!!

We had a GREAT weekend with Daddy, we don't get much time with him so we are Thankful for when he is home. ( he is a busy guy but we are so Thankful for all the work the Lord has blessed us with, Thank You Jesus!!)

Friday morning before I had my MOPS leadership meeting, I had to meet David at BUY BUY BABY for a new double stoller. A couple of weeks ago mine had broke and I couldn't go any longer with out a double stoller!! I got the Combi double stoller but mine is black, and I love it!! Its so much easier to move about the mall, and stores than my other one.

Saturday morning Daddy did have to work alittle and then it was time for Mommy to get her hair done!! YAY, no more roots!! So off to Ulta I went and David took all 3 kids to the mall ( I dont even do that!!)



Emma-Kate needed a new diaper bag, so I told David I wanted the one that Pottery Barn Kids had and he suprised me with it!! I love it, it was so much more room and I love that the changing pad to on the back of the bag ( I'm also forgetting the changing pad!!)

They also made a specail trip to Build a Bear and each of them got a Build a Bear.

That night I had a girls night with some friends from MOPS, I didn't get any pics :( but we had such a great time with lots and lots of laughing!!

Sunday we took are family pictures and went out to eat.

Here is sneak peak of our Family's pictures :)

Abbys Big Day

Today was a big day for Abby, her glasses came in!! We talked about getting her glasses while they were coming in. It took about a week and haft, David and I both told her that Mommy, Abby, Grammy and Emma-Kate would go and get her glasses, go for pancakes( the girl loves pancakes!!) and then if she wore her glasses all day she would get to pick out a toy!! Abby before she got her glasses

Picture one with her glasses ( funny story Abby wont look at the camera to save my life!! Her Papa for the first year of her life had a came to her face, I mean from the time she was brought out of the OR) Abby with her glasses ( she is just to cute to stand!!)
Waiting for her Pancakes at Jim's ( my mom and dad eat there every Sunday Morning (even tho they should be at Church) but when David is working on Sunday morning the kids and I do get free breakfast when we meet mom and dad at Jim's ,thanks mom and dad)
Drinking her chocolate milk ( Abby loves loves chocolate milk)
Emma-Kate waiting for her yummy eggs ( today was also the 1st day she tryed pancakes and french toast!!)
After brunch we went to Target to get Abby her special toy!! She did such a great job and wear them most of the day. ( getting a 3 year old to wear glasses is not easy) We are so proud of her!! Thank you to Grammy who came with us on Abby special day!!

Abby's Eyes

Last week My mom and I took Abby to the Eye Dr. while Brody was at school. We were there for 3 long hours but both of the girls were GREAT!! They did dilated Abby's eyes, that was NOT FUN!! She cried, I cried, NO FUN at ALL!! But we did found out that Abby does need glasses ( yes my 3 year old need glasses) , she has severe Astigmatism and will need to wear glasses at all times when she is up. We picked out her glasses after for appointment and someone tell me why insurance only covers ugly glasses!! Kids ( or me for that reason) don't want ugly glasses!! Well she got the ones she wanted and we should be able to go and picked them up next week. I will post about that next.

Happy Birthday Brody

Our sweet boy turned 2 on the 7th, ( yes I'm way behind!!) We are so thankful for this handsome boy and are so proud of him!! Its crazy to look back where we were this time last year not knowing a whole lot of what Brody was going to be able to do. We were even thinking about Brody needing a wheelchair, but he surprised us all by walking in July!! He has taught me so much about Love and Loving him just the way the Lord made him, he has tested my patience more than any other person I have ever Loved. When the Lord gave us Brody, he gave us such a precious gift!! He says two words MAMA and Ball. He loves school and is learning so much from his peers.

Our Handsome Birthday Boy!!!
Birthday PanCakes!!
Playing with his birthday gifts, he loves blocks ( Mega Blocks are his favorite) I found this cool Mega Block table at Walmart on Clearance for 30 bucks!!
Mommy and Daddy Love You so Much Sweet Boy!!
