Get me out of here!

Let me explain this picture. I got my disc yesterday and was looking through pictures. There were so many funny pictures. Between Parker's cheesy smile and Tandi looking like she was going through pure torture, I was having a good chuckle. So this was one of the funniest! Aren't kids the greatest?

Some new pictures

My friend Adrianne took some pictures of my kids last week. I have to say she did a great job! Especially with Tandi who would not sit still for even a second. She managed to sneak in some good shots! She has taken a lot of pictures for me. Even the big picture above was taken by her. Here is her web sight : http://www.capturedbyadrianne.blogspot.com/ Check them out!

Easter Sunday

Too many Easter egg hunts!

In the last week we have been to four Easter egg hunts. The first started at Heath's grandparent's Nanny and Bomps house. Now this was an interesting one because it was out in their shed. There was snow on the ground so they decided to do it in there.

Easter Egg hunt #1

It doesn't look like an Easter Egg hunt does it. And Parker wasn't real interested in the eggs he just wanted to get on the Lawn mower.
At the end of the Easter Egg hunt Heath's Uncle Michael Asked Abby his now fiance' to marry him. The ring was inside a golden egg. Isn't that so Cute! What a fun day that was. Congratulations to Michael and Abby!


Easter egg hunt #2

This was at our neighborhood park

Sorry I got these in the wrong order this was actually the second Easter egg hunt. This was at grandma Patti's house. It was a scavenger hunt and at the end they got a treasure chest full of prices and eggs.

Almost Walking

Tandi is so close to walking. She could do it if she wasn't so timid. She has been walking along walls, cupboards, and furniture. Today she took about 10 steps. I still look at her and think she is too little to be walking.

Dyeing Easter Eggs

Parker and I had a great time dyeing Easter eggs. Parker was so fascinated with the changing colors of eggs. He is so fun! I'm glad that we get to spend a lot of time together.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Flash back in time

Yesterday was our anniversary. We have been married 6 years. And I can honestly say we have had an awesome marriage. I am so grateful that Heath asked me to marry him. I know that the Lord had a hand in bringing us together. We have truly been blessed in every aspect of our lives. And the greatest gifts we've received is our two beautiful children! 6 years down and forever to go! I love you Heath! Our wedding day! I know it's cheesy!

This is when we were dating.


This is how Heath asked me to Marry him. It was out in his grandpa's shed on Christmas Eve.

Our little one year old!

I can't believe it's been a year. We have been so blessed to have Tandi in our family. She is such a sweet little girl! She loves to be around people and loves attention. Her and her brother Parker get along so well. We love her little giggles and screams. She melts our hearts with her hugs, kisses, and her bright browns eyes and oh those cute little curls. We don't know what we would do without our little Tandi Rae. Everyday we thank our Father in Heaven for her.

This is the day she came down to this earth. She was so beautiful!

Happy 1st Birthday Tandi!

Yesterday Tandi turned one! We had a little party for her.

This is her opening presents. She loved her dolly.

Marley helped her open presents.

Singing Happy Birthday!

Right away she was grabbing at the cake. She din't care about the candle.

Yummy!

Want Some?

I'm in Heaven!

Playing with her balloon!
