Daddy's Girl


Vika loves her Daddy!!  This was one of those moments that just melted my heart.  Dave just snuggling his baby girl.

Moments after these pictures were taken Vika fell fast asleep.  

Ever since I found out I was having a girl I have been excited about her being a Daddy's girl.  Dave was just in heaven and didn't really want me to move her, but we had to leave.  
In the morning before Dave leaves for work there a some days when Vika is awake.  She loves it when Dave holds her and gives her hugs and kisses.  She usually won't go back to me easily.  I love how much they love each other and the special bond that they share!!

4 Kids!!


Last week I had the pleasure of watching my sister's 2 boys for 4 days while her and her husband went on a much needed cruise.  I love these 2 boys and we had lots of fun.  


They weren't always the cleanest, but they were loved!!

Tyson had so much fun playing on Conner's Smart Cycle!!  And watching TONS of Scooby Doo!
(Notice who is on his pjs.)

Conner and Tyson had lots of snacks, and they always have fun playing together!
(Sometimes they have a hard time sharing, but what 2 kids don't?)

Preston looks really homesick there, but he had just woken up from his nap.  He really did have fun, just look at Tyson!

My living room was always covered in toys.  The kids pulled out everything they could!  I didn't care because they were having fun.

Proof that Preston really was a happy kid!!  Isn't he just so cute?  I absolutely love that kid, even though he didn't really sleep very good.

I am so glad I could help out my sister.  This was the first time she has ever left Preston.  She is constantly watching my kids and helping me out, that it was nice to finally give back.  I feel like I am such a slacker of a sister.  Nicole, I am so glad you had fun, and were finally able to take a REAL vacation!!  I will even help you out the next time you go away!!

Happy Day!!

We have been waiting ever since we moved in to this house (2 years) for this bathroom to get done.  I am so excited to say that it is officially done!!

These first 2 pictures are what my main floor bathroom looked like after a good friend came and installed our toilet and sink!!



This is my favorite part about this bathroom!  I love this mirror so much.  We bought it forever ago and I have just been patiently waiting for the bathroom to get done so that I could hang it up!

My little brother stained this shelf for me before he went on his mission.  I finally have a place to put it!  Thanks Sheeby!!

We are hoping that with this bathroom downstairs Conner will FINALLY be ready to potty train.  It is helping a lot, but I have not been consistent about making him go.  Maybe I should work on that.
My 2 wonderful sisters bought me the cute pink rugs and towels for my birthday 2 years ago.  Thanks so much they look great.

Messy, Messy


Anyone that knows my baby knows that she loves to eat.  She loves her bottle and she loves baby food.  Anything that will go in her mouth she loves!!

I started letting her get a feel of her food.  She gets really messy, has so much fun, and then cries when I have to clean her up.  

She does give some cute faces while she is digging in!  Like this one!


This face is my favorite!  She stopped licking her bowl to look at the camera!
