Levi aka Heidie's Birthday

Yummy cupcakes!Don't you just love how he holds it with one hand.....

All done!

For those of you who don't live near, Heidie has been Levi's name for several months now. Annabelle went from calling him baby Vi (when he was first born), to hihi (for a long time), to now Heidie since he was about 9months old. Almost everyone we know calls him Heidie as well. His daddy is the only one who consistently calls him Levi.....he hates Heidie, and will always correct Annabelle...LOL. And unfortunately I think that name will be around for along time.

Levi's Birthday was a month ago....for those who forgot. I thought it was about time I should put some pictures up of the little guy. We didn't do anything big cause his Daddy left the day before and Levi was just happy to get a cupcake...not to mention a few trucks and trains.

One of the best joys of being a mother is watching my daughter eat corn on the cob. She will easily eat two of these.

Always a willing helper! After mommy mopped the whole floor Annabelle ate watermelon and got juice everywhere, but she was more than happy to clean it up.

Playing in the garden. Look at those cabbages!

Nothing like freshly tilled dirt....Levi thinks it taste good too.

Snacking on some raisins while we are sponging the bread.

My flowers and Fiesta salt and pepper shakers.

I was surprised when I could eat all of this. Half a PB&J sandwich with a small cup of soup.

Notice anything different about Annabelle?? After her bath the day before when daddy was supposed to be watching her she found a green sharpie and colored all over herself.

Levi sitting in his big boy seat and the table. Always willing to eat whatever momma makes him unlike the other child.

Beach + Kids=Sand Everywhere!

We went to the beach two weeks ago, then went to a friends house for dinner. Annabelle hid our camera while there and we just got it back last night. I hope you all enjoy the pictures.

Levi loved the sand so much that mommy just had to bury him...LOL..

Annabelle's Birthday pictures

I am way late posting these pictures....forgive me. It's been busy here.


Annabelle's favorite present she received. A pop up Elmo book. She loves it (even though she hasn't a clue who Elmo is) and we read it too many times a day to count. It has chickens in it and a big dog which is a "horse". Her two favorite animals at the moment.

Gotta love that face..

More presents. She loved them all especially a purse hand made just for her.

John and Annabelle. She loves John! He teaches the bible study we attend every Friday night and leads fellowship that we attend every Sunday after church.

Today is a special day!

Go to my other blog here to find out why!

Don't you love it when...

They play all by themselves!



But better when they play together!

It's best though when they play with daddy!

It's my favorite part of the day when he gets home and lays on the floor so the kids can climb, wrestle, and be thrown in the air! And me....I just sit back and watch. It really is the best entertainment, especially for this momma!

God, thank you for blessing me with the BEST husband ever and two wonderful children.

You know they are getting big when...

You know your kids are getting big when they are drinking out of regular cups and standing by themselves.

Annabelle being a "big" girl. She now drinks out of a "real" cup and can even get herself water! How lovely!!

Levi, standing all by himself.

Look at that smile, and those hands.

She knows what smile is now, so when you get out the camera and ask her to smile is becomes a big goof.

Me and my little man. I love this little guy so much.
