Chloe's 3rd Birthday party

Well I finally decided on a Alice in Wonderland, Mad Hatter Tea party theme. It turned out to be alot of fun. I had all the kids come in silly hats and I set up the table with different tea sets and hanging lanterns in defferent sizes. The kids had a blast and were really good. It was pretty quiet for a while. They even watched a bit of Alice and Wonderland. I was really impressed with all these younge kiddos. I am posting a few pictures from the party!

these were the party favors
we did a pot of dirt (pudding and oreo's) instead of cake! It was a big hit with the kids. Even though this was not a part of Alice and Wonderland, I thought it would fit in well with the tea party and with the boys. I painted red hearts and black diamonds on it to fit in with the Queen of hearts!
I found this awesome wreath idea from http://www.larkandlola.blogspot.com/. She had some great ideas!
This is my beautiful Chloe! My mom helped me make this Alice costume. The pattern was difficult to follow. My mom has been sewing for a long time...there was no way I could do this without her! And it turned out FANTASTIC! I can't wait until halloween!

I Just LOVE the clouds!

Today I took my sweet baby {not so much a baby anymore} to take some pictures at my favorite place! It turned out great and I couldnt be more pleased! I have already put a couple in frames and I cant wait to send some to the Lab! Im going to post a few of my favorite. I hope that you love them as much as I do!

Maternity photos

So today I had the pleasure of taking my best friend and her fiance's pictures! It was so much fun....and extremely hot! Of course I am humming and hawing over the photos because it is my best friend....but I am really happy and LOVE playing with the photos! Im going to post some of my favorites! But let me tell you! This is HARD for me to do (only pick some!)

Day 2- Recovery

Alright so today was not as bad. Emotionally.....I am okay. I really have given it to the Lord and I know that through him, all things are possible! I will have another baby, and this baby will come at the right time in our life. Atleast when God thinks it's the right time! lol. So I will not get dicouraged! I will keep my faith and I will keep on praying! Now as far as pain goes....this is aweful. Now for those of you that know me know that I deliver my babies natural. But atleast in the end you have a beautiful baby! But to be contracting constantly to be running back and forth to the restroom was awful. I was a little sore today but right now I am fine. But in all honesty...this has brought the creative side out in me. I think it is my outlet! I have plans for painting the bedroom and decorating a bit, changing my scrapbook table, and doing some intesting things around the house! Hobby Lobby here I come! LOL.
Thank you again for all of your wonderful words! You are amazing!

Laying it at his feet.

Well I am beginning my blog, which was meant to be a pregnancy blog but is now not the case. I was 9 weeks pregnant up until today. The Lord has decided to take my life unto a different path. I know miscarriages are normal and it happens more often than not, but it is always that "it will not happen to me mentality". I thought that with 3 other smooth pregnancies, that this one would be the same. But it was not. I am very sad and I will be grieving. BUT, this is in the Lords hands and not mine. I am using his strength now and not mine. He has my baby and that is the best place that it can be. Although I am sad, it is also a time to rejoice that my baby is with Angels. I did not get a chance to know the sex of my baby or what it would have felt like to have that little baby move around in my belly, but I know that it is going to be taken care of.


I will not let this take the best of me. I have 3 wonderful children that still need me. Yet, I am facing the biggest issue still. Telling the children that they are not going to have a brother or sister at this time. They are resiliant though! I have faith that the Lord will sooth their souls, as well as mine and my husbands. I know that he is grieving as well. He also lost a baby. So please pray or him as well.


Thank you to all my friends and family, who have sent me wonderful words of encouragement and prayers! I will forever be greatful for you all. We are blessed to have such wonderful supporters!
