baby momma ;)

It's really kind of scary to see Jolie imitate Mark and I. She pushes her babies around the house, like such a good little mommy. She cooks in her kitchen when I'm cooking. But the funniest thing so far is Jolie "talking" on the phone. In her cute little baby voice "hello?....ya....uh-a.....ya". I'm afraid that might be what I sound like!!! :)

WHAT DO YOU THINK???

Mantanza's Beach

What do you do on a glorious day in Florida? you go to the beach!!!! The three of us went south to Mantanza's Inlet/Beach for the day. This was kind of Jolie's first official beach day....she loved it!

Jolie loved the giraffes!

welcome home.

I just wanted to share a few pics of our new home. We've only been moved in for 5 months now.

We love are new home. We are so blessed to be where we are and to have our lil family.

Moving, holidays, Jolie's birthday, Mark's graduation.....life has been a little busy lately. :)

Now that things have slowed down a bit, our next project is painting the den. I can't wait to cover up that old paneling. Mark can't wait for the project to be over with. But like a good hubby, he's going to make himself useful. :)

cousins

Jolie and I made it to Wisconsin for a quick visit in February.

It was so much fun to see the girls together. Jolie loves her cousins!

Jessie and 3 week old Amelia. She is so beautiful!

Steve and I with our girls :)

big hug from Eva!

time to play!

me and my kitchen

Jolie loves to play "in" her new kitchen. Grandma spoiled her with a brand new kitchen for her 1st birthday. She is "in" her kitchen every day....cooking up a storm.

Jolie has a grocery basket full of plastic fruits and vegetables, that she insists on cooking her in little oven. :) I think she loves the sink best.....I will put Cheerios in the sink for her to snack on. Mark calls it her feeding trauft.

I just love my blue-eyed baby girl. Every day of my pregnancy I prayed for a healthy and happy baby with blue eyes like Mark. My prayers were answered! :)

Here is a picture of the three of us at Mark's graduation....

Jolie and I are so proud of him!

Jolie's 1st Birthday

Jolie is 1! She fully enjoyed her 1st birthday party. I think it's easy to say the cake was her favorite part of the day!

Jolie's party was Sunday, January 11th. All of Jolie's friends from church came to help her clebrate. She is such a blesssed little girl to have so many friends. Grandma even made the long trip from Wisconsin for her birthday. We had so much fun celbrating our little girl's 1st!

Yay! It's so much fun to be 1!

The Birthday Girl chair!

After enjoying her cake, Jolie had to be stripped down. She had cake everywhere! Once she was in outfit #2, Jolie opened all her presents. (mommy helped) She has many great new books and outfits. Her special gift was a kitchen with all pots and pans and all!!!!

Thank You to everyone who made Jolie's day so special!

Jolie is starting to walk!

Jolie's 1st Thanksgiving

Jolie is gonna whip up something mmm...mmm...good!
Jolie insisted on helping Mommy in the kitchen....which was more like her getting into everything. After cooking a few things, we went and celebrated Thanksgiving with friends. She had a good 1st Thanksgiving!

the kitchen

Here it is....the new and improved kitchen!!!! I love it! If you look below to an older post, you can compare the before and after. We tore the entire old kitchen out, to the bare bones, and started from scratch (kinda). We kept all the appliances where they were. The big difference in the floor plan would be that we extended the kitchen about 2 feet into the dinning area, which really opened up the kitchen. While the contractors worked in their stages, I came behind and painted the cabinets....black. What do you think? I love it! Since the kitchen is bigger and open, I think the black compliments the space. Along with my big sink. I got the biggest one basin sink I could find...and at a bargin! My big sink under my big window, along with my big pendant in my big kitchen. What's not to love :) I still have some finishing work to do, but the transformation is amazing. It's a completely different space. and if I didn't mention it already....
I LOVE IT!!!!
