Seriously....

...Cutest baby ever! And one great friend/photographer to capture it all.....

Thankful Thursday


And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds.


And God saw that it was good.

Yard Sale Saturday

Just wanted to let everyone know we're having a yard sale. I am putting in on Jessie and her MIL's stuff. I think it should be a good one. Jessie has alot of great home stuff that she won't be needing in her new house! I also have a few home decor items. Mens coats, men & women clothes, some baby/toddler girl clothes (not a whole lot in case of girl #3 one day). Everyone needs to go check it out or just come by and say hi to Jessie, Koen, Leah, and myself. :)

8-?? on Troy Rd. Address is posted here.

Leah


My sweet second born turned 3 months today. It has by far been the fastest 3 months of my life. I can't imagine my life without her. I know sappy, right? But, its true.

Right now, Leah is growing like a weed.
She was 12lbs 1oz 24in long today!
At 3 Months....


smiling, laughing, and coo-ing.

holding head up strong.

rolling over from belly to back (crazy, I know).

playing with hanging toys.

very expressive with her face.

still nursing great, takes one bottle a day.


Leah got her first round of shots today. I tend to delay most of my girl's immunization- at least off of the normal schedule. I like to wait til they are healthy and ready. She shrieked the sadest cry ever. Oh man.... I am so not good at this!

She spent most of her day like this. On Mama's side of the bed. It is most definitely her favorite spot in the house. :) Sweet, sad girl.

It has been the best 3 months watching both my girls grow together and hit milestones separately. I always thought it would be difficult to have 2 babies 2 and younger. But, I just couldn't imagine it any other way. God is good, and our family is so blessed.

Top Knots

Im pretty sure God made me to be the Mama to little girls.

The tutus and hair bows excite me gallor.

A pink in any shade is my friend.

And these top knots, well, they put the shama-lama in my ding-dong.


I just can't wait til this little nugget sprouts some hair for me to play with.

Until then I am enjoying her toes and rolls. So cute.


Can you believe she will be 3 mo on Wednesday? It just seems like she's so new, yet been here forever at the same time? We have our long awaited 2 mo well baby on her 3 mo birthday. Whoever planned that was a little off, but whatever. I can't wait to see how much she weighs!

My Extracurriclur Activity....

Besides me a fun loving, stay at home mom. I do have alter-egos. One Courtney, RN. Whom swoops down to help sick people in need when the hospital is busy (and it fits into my schedule, of course). And the other being Coach Courtney. I don't talk enough about how much I love to coach and love my girls.

They keep me young. We laugh so much and work so hard to get where we are. I coach for WHS Dance Team. However, I am the All-Stars coach. I get to choose a team from the Varsity squad of dancers who are willing to put their all into traveling and competing across the state. Its very hard, time consuming, and Worth every minute.


This past weekend we had our summer camp. We were fortunate to have access to 2 Amazing choreographers from a studio in Chicago. These are world traveling, company dancing, SYTYCD choreographing, ABDC achieving dancers..... Really. I won't say their studio or company. They do not know Im bragging blogging on them. But, they are amazing and have forever changed the way I think about my own choreography and passion for dance. We rarely stopped laughing and they rarely stopped sweating. I can't wait to see them again and show them what we did with their competition piece they helped us with!

Now that camp is over the climb toward my season draws near. My goal every year is to be ready by October. That gives me 3 months to finalize my team, finish choreographing the routine, teach the routine, perfect it and compete in my favorite venue. I will hopefully take you guys on our journey next year. I know alot of my moms read this so look out for embarassing info- mostly on myself, but maybe on your girls!


Its gonna be a great year.....
