Awww...

Just a few cute pictures to share!

Sleepy girl!

Here are Karys and Ethan sharing some tummy time yesterday during Bible study

And just a picture of Karys enjoying tummy time. Look how high she can raise up!!

Who Would've Guessed?...

That unloading silverware from the dishwasher was funny?! :) This afternoon I had Karys on the counter in her Bumbo seat (don't judge me! :) while I unloaded the dishwasher. I started pulling the silverware out and putting it away and apparently she found this hilarious!! She's started doing "real" laughing now and I just love it! It's impossible not to laugh back at something like that. Last week we got this great video of her spending like a minute and a half laughing at Ryan playing Peek-A-Boo with her. Of course it's on the video camera, which most likely means it's too big to upload here. But I used my digital camera to take today's video. Hope you like it! (Oh, and don't you love that the second I start talking to her, she stops laughing?! :)

TAG, You're It!

I've been tagged by Meredith. :) Apparently when you are tagged, you are supposed to retrieve the fourth picture from the fourth album on your computer. My picture is going to be fairly recent because we got a new computer and haven't transferred all of our old pictures to it! But, here it is:

This is Karys during the clean-up time after she was born. :)

Okay, now I tag: Amy, Caci, Evangeline, Erin, Shelah, Merrisa, Kristy, and Lindsay. Can't wait to see your pics!! :) Have fun!

Just for Laughs

Actual conversation that happened in line at Albertson's tonight:

Man in line behind me (to cashier, whom he apparently knew): (looking at Karys) You'd better watch out because this little boy is going to get you!

Cashier (before looking at Karys): Oh, yeah, okay! (sarcastic)

Cashier looks down at Karys: That's not a boy, it's a girl!

Man: No, it's not! (Looks at me quizzically)

Me: Yeah, it's a girl.

Cashier: She's got on a pink outfit and a pink blanket!

Man (to me): I don't know any better...I had two babies and both of them were boys.

The above picture is to show you exactly how Karys looked during the aforementioned incident. Granted, this man was probably in his 60's, but come on!! :)

Karys Tells the Truth :)


In case you can't see her shirt, it says "Kiss Me, I Am Too Cute." Also, notice how she's grabbing at her feet. That's a new thing she started a couple of days ago. Hopefully that puts a smile on your face for those of you that, like me, are saddened by these election results. I knew this was how it was going to go down, but now that it really has, I just wonder what is in store for this country. I decided this morning that the only way this election would've been fair is if both candidates were black, because then everyone would be forced to only look at the issues and not at skin color. I think the idea of a black president is awesome, but I don't think that should've been enough reason to vote for him. I feel like there is a dark cloud hanging over us now but I have been reminding myself CONSTANTLY today that God is in control. However with that being said, God also allows us to receive consequences for our poor choices. Is this election the result of a nation that has not put God first for a long time? I guess we will find out.
On a positive note, check out this cute picture I took yesterday! :)

About Me

My photo
I've been a wife for over seven years, a mommy of one for 2 and a half years, and a mommy of two as of 12/28/10! :) I married Ryan on July 26, 2003. We always said we wanted to have kids sometime around our fifth anniversary. The closer that time came, the more we started thinking we still needed another year. However, God held us to our original plan because Karys Elizabeth was born July 30, 2008...4 days after our 5th anniversary. :) I quit my job teaching kindergarten to take on the much more rewarding "career" of stay-at-home mom. There are some days that are hard, but I love it just the same. God surprised us again in May 2010 when we found out we were having baby #2. I went through the entire pregnancy expecting him to go past his January 9, 2011 due date since his sister was overdue. However, Zane Elliott surprised us by making his debut on December 28, 2010, and we wouldn't have it any other way! Now that we have "one of each" we could be "done" with our family, but hopefully that won't be the case. :)
