Pictures

We are settling in just great since the addition of our sweet Leighton. Anna Claire is being a really sweet big sister and Leighton is a good baby. We feel like our family is so complete now! Well until I decide I want a third in a year or two. haha. Here are some recent pictures.

Leighton Matthew Warren, Jr. is here!

Our sweet Leighton has arrived. He was born May 7th at 9:45 p.m.

Last Monday we went to the doctor and found out he wanted us to be at the hospital Tuesday night, May 8th to be induced on Wed. Leighton had another plan however...around 2:30 Monday after my doctor's appointment Anna Claire and I laid down together for a nap. I woke around 3:00 or so to go to the bathroom, after I did my water broke!!!! Matt came home and we went to the hospital, I was infull labor and Leighton arrived at 9:45pm healthy and perfect. He weighed 8lb 1oz and 20.5 inches long.

He is the sweetest baby and we feel so blessed to have him as part of our family.
We are all doing great. Big sister and Biz love him and can't get enough of him...especially sis!

My Little Pony

Matt and his dad took Anna Claire to see My Little Pony Live. She had a great time. And so did the boys!

Cinderella Ballet

I took Anna Claire to see the ballet version of Cinderella Sunday afternoon with my friend Holly and her daughter Avery and cousin Laney and one other friend and her daughter. The girls were so cute. There was a tea party before the ballet where they got to meet the cast and have a cute little lunch/tea.
The ballet was very good. It was pretty long, but they sat pretty still . Anna Claire had a hard time keeping her little body still the whole time, but enjoyed it and has talked about the ballerina's since.

The girls changed into their dress up clothes at the end of the tea party, which they loved.

Trapped

I don't think Biz enjoys the playhouse the way Anna Claire does :) Especially when she locks him in and pretends he's in time out.

Biz the human!

I have always said since my dog was a puppy, he thinks he's human. I truly know why William Wegman, a famous artist/photographer of weimaraners http://www.wegmanworld.com/ uses the breed in his art. They are so human looking it's scary sometimes.

This is just plain funny to me. Here's the deal, Biz has always been SUCH a mommy's boy, but has decided he's a daddy's boy now, I guess for about the last few months or so. I'm not really sure why since I love on him ALL the time and his daddy is so hard on him, but even still he is so in love with Matt now. Matt sits in this one chair in our living room to do work on his computer when he gets home and Biz can't stand it because he can't get up there with him. I guess he finally decided he wasn't going to stand for it anymore. I love this dog/human! He is hanging between the chair and ottoman!!!

Happy 30th Birthday Matt!

Matt turned 30 last week, I can't believe how old were getting :) It's a super thing however....we think our 30's are going to be the best years of our lives!

Matt didn't want to do anything big so we just had cake and presents with family here at our house...of course Anna Claire loved it....we love Birthdays around here. She and I made him a cookie cake!

Build a Bear

Anna Claire got a gift certificate to the Build a Bear Workshop for her Birthday, so we took her and she had such a great time. She picked out a super cute bear with a purple frilly dress, scarf and shoes. She named her Friend. Here are some pictures of her building Friend and then we went out for ice cream afterwards....friend too.

Happy Easter!

Happy 3rd Birthday Anna Claire!

Making cupcakes!

I can't believe my baby is 3. What a fun girl. She had a great Birthday. We had plans for an outside Birthday party, but due to the rain, we moved it inside. Anna Claire's present from me and Matt and my parents was a bounce house that were going to let them jump in during the party. We ended up getting it out late in the afternoon and she LOVES it. She got lots of fun presents and had fun with all of her friends and family at her party.

Spring photo session

We took Anna Claire to Norton Art Gallery Sunday after church and tried to get some good photos. She will NOT look when prompted, imagine that! Also, there are some at home....I have been taking lots of pictures with the Azalea's blooming.

Now I'm ready!

Well, I think I am officially ready for Leighton's arrival, thanks to my sweet friends Holly and Sara, who gave me a great baby shower Saturday. I got lots of cute and much needed boy items and had fun visiting with friends and family. Anna Claire came along and had a special time with her friend Avery (Holly's daughter) with thier very own little table set just for them. Such sweet girlys!

Random things!

Just some random pictures enjoying this GREAT weather!

We went to see Sesame Street Live and Anna Claire loved it! She sat in her daddy's lap most of the time glued to the stage.

Las Vegas trip!

Well it is time for me to play catch up on blogging.

Anna Claire, Mom and I had a fun trip to Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. She loved playing with her cousins, Uncle and Aunt. We miss them terribly already. We (my mom and I) kept the boys while my brother and sister-in-law went on a trip. We did lots of soccer, t-ball and baseball....great preparation for what's to come with our little boy! I love watching the 3 cousins together.
