Baby Brother has GROWN!

Here is a comparison shot from today and a month ago! We've got 2.5 weeks left or so until the big Due Date so I thought I should take some more pics to see how the belly has changed! And, as you can see, it's much bigger and lower! I also took a few others just so you can see my smiling/glowing face! :) We can't wait to meet baby brother and hopefully find out what the little guy's name is!! If you have any creative names, we'd love to hear! - Post a comment with your ideas!!

We love you all!!

Happy Mother's Day

We had a fun day relaxing with our friends Armando and Julie Chavez and their beautiful little baby boy Nolan! We went for a walk after they took off back to Seattle and I grabbed my camera and took some pics of my little princess! I feel so blessed to be Raquelle's mom! She's beautiful, creative, funny, sweet and so smart! Praise the Lord for her!

Baby Nolan

Our friends Armando and Julie came down from Seattle to visit this weekend. I got to take a few snapshots of their beautiful 3.5 month old, Nolan! He is SUCH a happy, fun and handsome little guy...we pray we are so lucky when baby brother comes out...plus, it'd be nice to have a son with a head of hair like this little guy has!! What a stud! :)

What a party!

We went to RJ & Alice Emmett's home for Kara's 2nd Birthday Party...and WOW! - it was an amazing jungle of fun!! Raquelle had so much fun in the jumping house and riding through the jungle in a Cadillac Jeep Escalade! And, thanks to the talents of Jessie Bittner, aka: "photography extraordinariness" we got a few GREAT pics to share with you all!! Thanks Alice for a great party and thanks Jessie for some fun pics!!

A sunny day at the park!

Fun times at the park on the first sunny day in a while! There were swings, sand and yummies after we played. Here's a few pics. The princess was a little too busy playing to have time to pose, but I got a new camera lens and wanted to shoot it up anyway! I really loved how the color came out on these pics...even though they're not the best of Raquelle, it was fun to play! Enjoy!

Our Puddle Jumper

We got Raquelle some new rain boots...perfect for a walk on those afternoons after morning showers! We thought she'd be jumping in the puddles because of her excitement. However, after her first couple splashes, and seeing the mud swirling around her feet, she got scared (I think she thought it was a snake or something) and opted to just throw in rocks!! It was pretty funny! Here's a few cute ones of her discovering the puddles and then realizing she'd rather just get her hands all dirty and throw in rocks!!

See my dirty hands mom!? :)
