Almost 5 months!

Today I officially popped! For REAL this time- everyone was like whoa your pregnant! :) I hosted my friend Jess's baby shower and it went beautifully! Ahh babies are everywhere, it's wonderful!

It's been forever since I have blogged- so sorry- not sure who was even 'checking in' but I do have NEW RECIPES!
So please check in as in the next day or so I will post them.
I am loving life as a mum and having lots of food, thoughts and fun! :)

See you soon!

14 WEEKS- I think:)

Officially Pregnant and oh what a JOY.....

Here I am, Pregnant again! I heard baby's heart beat for the first time and tears started to fill my eyes. What a miracle- a little life- formed by hand of our heavenly Father. His heart must be so full as He watches in the most inward parts this little life grow before His eyes.

On a side note- good thing I didn't post the last photo I took thinking i was showing- hipbones showing little toned tummy- oh so long for a while- and yes I'm excited to say so long for a while- womanhood is amazing- stretchmarks and all- yes I did buy some oil today too if your wondering:)

LIFE BEAUTIFUL LIFE- XOXO

Almost 2!

Hi all my little blogging friends- I am back! :)

My little Naomi is almost 2 and I decided this year I won't make it as big as last year- like no hula dancers, no flashy super dooper toys, not a large crowd, you know just nice and simple......errrrr hmmmm- I don't think so- changed my mind- how can I not do it big- ok maybe we won't have as many people as last year but we are THROWING A PARTY- YEAH! :)

BBQ, BUBBLES AND POOH BEAR BIRTHDAY CAKE! :) not just any bubbles but automatic bubbles and a hippo bubble machine- oh yeah!

We went to Target this morning and had a blast choosing things- we went back and forth on deciding what plates to have for the 'kids table' (well Naomi did.......MOUSE! (That's Mickey mouse), ELMO! DORA! PRINCESS! MOUSE! MOUSE! we obviously went with the Mickey mouse set- oh and the cups too, which she throw in the cart :) So fun! So if you child is coming- except F-U-N! :)

Born to dance

Today was just one of those awesome days.....spent the whole day with Naomi at home organizing, cleaning, playing, and yep DANCING! we make video clips all the day- some a little embarrassing (for me that is :) I will post one for you to check out- our hip hop piece :) check the moves out of Naomi once she gets the hat and sunglasses on- classic.
Then this arvo headed to base which Naomi LOVES and says "BASSSSE" when we arrive and caught up with all my girls I mentored last quarter that just got back from outreach. Then headed up to the dance studio with a few of them and Naomi......when we got there Naomi was SO excited- I have never seen her do the "moves" she was doing- it was like she was at home- it was so incredible to watch her. I was so blessed an proud of her- she was even pointing her toes! Tonight in worship she was always flowing spontaneously with me and Renee (one of the other dances) :) :) he he. I love it.

Praise the LORD oh my soul!

Walking, walking, walking and yep you guessed it walking!
It seems to be all I have been doing these past few days.....molars=up at night and lots of pushing in the stroller for naps times. Today was one of those days- being persistent is key to nap times :) Everything is a breeze usually, but when those molars are coming- well- they are coming....feels like it's been months....this afternoon (we walked and walked and walked and I almost gave in, took her out and said forget it as the little grunting can get kinda annoying...but the holy spirit said push though she is testing you and yep sure enough after 25 minutes of walking she is asleep- I had the biggest PRAISE THE LORD session now I am going to have a shower and a rest- cleaning can happen later! :)
