sick christmas...

i got sick this Christmas...a horrible cold....first of all it was my first Christmas to be sick....second of all it was the first time i have been sick since piper had been born....i now know that even with ALL the help from jake....mommys NEVER truly get a sick day!...but to at least give me a few hours of complete rest in hopes to feel better Christmas day, jake took piper to Christmas Eve service at church by himself! this is how they felt about that.... :)

let the matching dresses begin!!!!!!......

ITS ANOTHER GIRL!!!!!!!!

this is my favorite....her skinny little legs all stretched out...

sweet profile...


*explanation: we had every intention to "wait to find out" with this baby like we did with Piper, and had even "announced to the world (and family)" that we were "waiting"....then came the morning of December 3, the day of our ultrasound...and i woke up with an overwhelming desire to NEED to know....i convinced Jake on our way there....and what did we find?!.....ANOTHER GIRL!!!! We were both overwelmed with tearful laughter and joy!! not to mention complete shock!
So on our way home we decided since everyone thinks we are "waiting to find out"....lets just keep going along with that (and ummm...lie;) until Christmas and SURPRISE everyone!!!! This Christmas has been so much fun getting to shock everyone with this wonderful surprise!!!
So...we are sorry to everyone who we had to "stretch the truth" (ok...lie) too.....family, my playgroup, church friends, and anyone else! we have prayed about it and been forgiven ;).....I hope you can forgive us too....it was all in the name of a Christmas Surprise! :)
(videos of us telling out family to come....)

Happy Birthday Papa Shu!....well yesterday ;)

we have started a great tradition of doing Christmas with my dad (papa shu) on his birthday(the 21st)....it is so wonderful because i get to see my dad on his birthday, we get a fun early Christmas, and it allows us to be able to have time to see everyone during Christmas! we had such a good time (dispite dad having a bit of a tummy bug:(....we had a great lunch, then took dad to cuppies & joe for a birthday cupcake then back home for presents!!! Piper got some great gifts, her favorite is the Aquadoodle!! she loves it! and i love it too because she can learn to "color" without mess!!

and my favorite gift was dave ramseys new board game "act your wage"! it.is.awesome. who ever gets out of debt first wins!!! dad wasent gone 5 minutes before we started playing it....i won of course ;)

LOVE YOU DADDY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

6 years and a BIG milestone!!.....

today we celebrate 6 amazing years together....i don't feel old enough to be married for 6years(and to most people, I'm not)...but i would not have wanted my life any other way, but side by side with my best friend!! Ever since piper weaned...i have really wanted to have a overnight date with my hott husband ;) and since we only have 4 more months before i have another nursing baby....we thought our anniversary would be PERFECT for our first night away!....well...it went PERFECT! we went to a fancy place called Deep Fork for dinner, jake had some yummy ribs and i had the chicken and they even gave us a free appetizer for our anniversary! We got dessert to go (chocolate and strawberry cake) and headed to the the Renaissance hotel downtown....it was the most wonderful and lovely evening!! we "slept in" (7:45am:) and went downstairs for our fancy breakfast in our jammies :) i feel so blessed to have that time to re-connect with my hubby all alone (ok i guess baby #2 was with us ;).

And apparently Piper wants to trade us in for Nani & Pa...they said she didn't even fuss once and slept until 7:30am!!!!!!!!
