Family Pictures

I am so excited. My awsome friend Michelle took some new pics of the family last week and I just got the disc today. She did such a great job. I was a little unsure about having them done because I didn't get my hair cut before hand like I had wanted to and I still have a few extra baby pounds on me. The day before the pics Livy and Hillie got their hair covered in Ucerin lotion (which is basically clear crisco!). I didn't think I could get it all out before the big day, but I got a great tip to try baking soda in their hair and Voila! It came out, Whew. Needless to say, I am very happy with the pictures, and glad we did it. Thanks alot Michelle, you are the best! If anyone wants to check out her website its michellesallayphotography.com

They could be twins!

I thought this was so funny. They look so much alike. Same overalls, by the way.

Nixon's first shoot

I realized that I hadn't had pictures done of Nixon in his blessing outfit and worried that he would soon out grow it, so I went to the Target studio and had pictures done, last minute. It wasn't a pleasant experience, but I was glad to get the shots that I have. It is crazy to see such similarities with Nixon and Livy. I could put a dress on Nixon at this point and I don't know if you could tell the difference. I will try and post some "side by sides", you will see. I love my little boy!

Oktoberfest 2009!

Nixon's Blessing

It was an eventful weekend! We spent saturday with the Wybrow's up at Oktoberfest. The kids danced the "Chicken Dance" with Oma and we ate alot of bratwurst with saurkraut. Its an annual tradition and we have so much fun.
Sunday we had the blessing. Micah's mom made a very beautiful blessing outfit for Nixon and we had alot of family and friends come and support us. I am truly blessed to have such a great husband and children. I am so thankful everyday for what I have.
