Funny

I was getting Leighton some dinner ready and I opened a can of fruit cocktail. He tried it at my mom's, which I knew, so I asked Anna Claire, "Did Lay like this at granny's?" She said "Oh mom is that fruit cotton tail?" I LOVE when she says stuff like that! Of course I didn't even correct her.

Pictures and Updates

So, here is some recent happenings:

We recently went to a wedding, I guess we haven't been to one since AC has been old enough to really love it. Well, she has talked about the prince and princess, the flower girl, who she will marry, etc, etc. She LOVED it. Just like here Mommy I guess. The mother of the bride said to me about the bride (her daughter) when I told her how beautiful it was, she said "she's been planning this wedding since she was in the womb." It made me smile, bc I was the same way and still LOVE weddings. It reminded me of the excitement and beauty and mystery of marriage....okay enough lovey dovey right! Sorry I'm a sucker for weddings.
She loved the food as did I.
Dancing with Daddy.

Matt has been doing A LOT of around the house chores before we close. The other morning he was outside, getting ready to get under the house, in nasty clothes, a mask, gloves, etc. The kids were really taken back by his appearance and I thought this pictures was cute of them looking at him out the window.
We went to a Birthday party for my sweet friend Stephanie's sweet little princess on Saturday. AC had fun swimming, sliding on a big water slide, and jumping. Meanwhile Leighton enjoyed his cake.
And some more cake.
And more cake, not his this time. Some other child who left their plate.
And well even more cake! He couldn't get enough. I thought it was so funny to watch him play and then return for more cake when he felt like it, what a life! :)

Grandma had a Birthday! AC had presents and pictures ready. She even brought a red sheer scarf of mine out to set the presents on. :)
A little spaghetti lunch followed by a BIG bath!
yummm I'm DONE! So pitiful.
A little spaghetti for big sister too. Maybe it was a bad batch, that face is a little unsure.
Vacation Bible School...so fun! We had a blast. All of us enjoyed it, my class was so sweet. Those 5 year old kids were such a blessing to me.

Each day is a gift and a blessing! I know I say that a lot, but it's my constant reminder of all I have to be thankful for. God is good all the time!

Happy Summer!

NEWS

The Warren's are having another baby! We are very excited about number 3. The baby is due March 1st. I am about 9 weeks. It's been a crazy few weeks around here with the move coming up and a lack of energy on my part. I had forgotten ALL about early pregnancy, whew I remember now, the fatigue and nausea are not fun, but it is absolutely worth it. I can't wait to add one more to the crew. I've got pictures to post later......

Busy Little Bee's

We have been a busy family lately. Since my last entry we have sold our house and are looking hard for another (bigger) one. We feel sad to leave the place where we have had SO many special memories, but it's time, it's been time since Leighton joined our family.

We had a fun 4th of July weekend hanging out with family.


Anna Claire and Leighton are doing great. We are doing some swimming, some long lazy summer days, and some house hunting now. The kids have been great as we have dragged them to and from like crazy looking at houses, etc. Leighton has been getting up 2 and 3 times a night now for about 2 weeks and is really cranky. I may have to take him back to the doctor. He had an ear infection about 2 weeks ago and has been on antibiotics. Not sure what's going on with him, maybe he's getting some teeth.
Anna Claire has enjoyed her summer so far. She's played with lots of friends, and we'll be doing Vacation Bible School next week. I will be teaching a class and am VERY excited about it.

Happy 4th!




Here's a little video of my star. She loves to make up songs and dance to them after I introduce her. :)

Summer Fun!

Every day is a gift, I realize this and these fun summer days are no exception. I feel so blessed. God has given me more than I deserve. Sweet Leighton!
Sister feeding Leighton his yogurt drink.
I love watching this relationship blossom. It warms my heart.
The way she is looking at him is so sisterly to me...it's like she's thinking, "you silly boy."
My girl, my heart and soul. She's the only person I know that can make me angry and laugh at the same time. She is a MESS!!!! No moment (not one) is dull with miss drama around. I can't get enough of her smile.

Hair Cut, Day Camp, and Pictures

Anna Claire went to a cute little preschool Day Camp at our church/her school all of last week. She had fun and made some really cute crafts. Other Anna Claire news is she got her hair cut fairly short. She and daddy went to get haircuts last week (by my sis) and she came back with it about 4, maybe even 5 inches shorter and straight. It looks really cute, but kind of grown up. I'm not sure if we (she and I) like it short, the verdict is still out.

Here are some recent pictures also. We are off to a great summer!
I could just eat him up!!!!

Anna Claire is getting so big to me. Where' s my baby girl????

Here she's waiting with her booster seat for her friends to pick her up for camp....she was so excited to ride with Maggie, Olivia and Mrs. Lauren to and from camp (total 2 miles) that she had a hard time falling asleep the night before. :)
Big difference between the pig tail braids and the big girl haircut.New hair cut...not the best picture. I'll post better ones later.

Father's Day

We had fun this weekend celebrating our Daddy's. Matt is such a sweet Daddy to our kids and I hope he knows how much we love him. Matt and I are also blessed to have father's that love us and our kids too. It is fun to watch them with their grandchildren.

We went to church and then to my parents for a little Father's Day lunch!



Matt's one request for the day was a BIG nap with his girl. It was a 3 hour one...I think he got his wish!

Fishing

Anna Claire got a Barbie fishing pole and daddy and grandpa took her fishing at Matt's Grandad's house. She had a great time.

Funnies for Today

This is what my children do all day!!! YEAH RIGHT :)

Sister decided to dress Leighton in one of her outfits.....she said it was a onsie.

Cute Picture

We spent the morning swimming, I caught this picture of Anna Claire stopping for a snack. Too funny....I love it!

Fun Together!

The summer is off to a great start. Anna Claire and Leighton are really starting to enjoy playing together. She gets excited when he wakes up and wants him to play with her. I love to watch them interact with each other.

Anna Claire has been eating push pops (don't know if that' what they are really called) in the tub for a long time. Now Leighton is going to carry on the tradition with her, I think he likes orange sherbet too!



Just some fun in the crib! She loves to get in with him when he first wakes up.
