Ella is 6 months already/ Mother's day/ Dedication/ Tim starts new job

I can not believe my baby girl is already 6 months old. Yesterday she turned 6 months and is officially off the pacifier. Mommy and daddy thought it was a good time, so Sunday night was the last of it, they are GONE. She is getting so mobile. I thought she was really going to crawl yesterday she gets in the position and scoots backwards. This morning she pulled herself to a standing position on the couch with out any help. Noah is the best big brother he always can make her smile and she loves to squeek at him. They are just my daily dose of pure joy.

My beautiful Mother's Day with my babies and family. Ella was dedicated to Christ at our church The Crossings. It was so nice, she was absolutly the most beautiful baby I'd ever laid eyes on. She wore my Christening dress. It was an off white linen and very aged but, so dainty and antique. She also wore a braclet that I wore that belonged to my Great Grandma Marion from 1909 so it's over 100 years old. It was so special to see my little daughter wearing heirlooms that I once wore. It was a beautiful service for the babies being dedicated and tribute to moms and how awesome we all are. I am so blessed to have the wonderful family I have that was their to witness my happienss. It was a great day!

Tim started his job at the airport. He is a maintance engineer now and is loving it. We'll report back in a few weeks with a better update of what he is doing. I'm so proud of him and his decision to change jobs for us.

Sweet Memories

So I am back in the DVD Slideshow creating biz. It is kinda a hobby/buisness opportunity. Check out my first 2 samples! If you would like me to publish a creation for you or someone you know I would love to for the practice on my new program for a very minimal cost. Hope you like my work, I'm real excited to be doing these again. They are so much fun and I love making others cry when they see their important times captured in such a unique and special way. Once I get established again and making them more regularly I am going to purchase some more advanced software to enhance my videos even more. I can't wait!

Our Anniversary

Well like I said in the first post I'd report back, It is a day after our 8 year anniversary and I am looking forward to getting to celebrate tonight. Although we were not able to leave town we are having a night out to go have a nice dinner at Sapporo and maybe a movie. Mom and Dad still are taking the kids so I want to sleep for like 10 hours. Then after my BS meeting in the morening we're going to drive to Lake Las Vegas and have lunch and just relax. Also maybe do some shopping and get a pedicure. Something special? We spent our actual anniversary getting Panda (chinese take-out) also Noah's favorite and playing with the kids outside. It was a regular day I guess around here. Well, Tim will be starting his new job at the airport on May 12th. I am so happy for him. I know he's excited and ready for something new and finally getting to work in the field. His last day at coke is a week from today, which the guys are all taking him drinking and playing darts so I will be picking him up that night for sure. I just realized we need a new family picture so I think we will work on that and i will post another update then. Happy May~one of my favorite months!

Family

So here is my first post and my first blog. Why is it called BLOG? I really don't get it but, here it goes...Our family is my greatest accomplishment. Tim and I will be celebrating our 8 year anniversary in May. I can't belive it still seems like yesterday we were in High School going to prom and football games. 8 years later...Here we are 2 wonderful children. I am the happiest girl alive. We plan to get away for the weekend of our anniversary for some mommy and daddy time alone. It's hard to believe but, the last time we did that was before I was pregnant with a Noah! So it is very much needed. I can't wait to just spend some adult time together and have a nice dinner and spa. Mom and dad are having the kids for the weekend so I'm sure they will have a blast! Look out for that blog in a couple months. What else to share. I love my job! I pamper women and make them take time out for themselves. My favorite part of my job with The Body Shop at Home though is sharing it with other women that want to have their own business. I have met so many wonderful ladies that get to spend time with their families and do this business successfully also. I love that it allows me to raise Noah and Ella myself without relying on daycare or a stranger to see all the funny things that make my days so special. That was my ultimate dream as a mom and I'm living it. Those that know me well, know that the 13 months I was working at MGM Mirage and taking Noah to the neighbors was a very difficult time for me. I knew if I wasn't happy with my situation, having a great job, a caretaker I trusted and the convienice of her living next door. I just wouldn't ever feel right about it, till I stayed home with him. So here I am now 14months later as a WORK-from-HOME mom and I LOVE it. Yes, it can be challenging at times but, I've never been paid so well in my life. Noah and Ella's smiles and giggles I get to experience each day are the best paycheck I could ever receive. I know a lot of people that would think I have an easy life but, I work very hard and it's hard work balancing a career like I have and raising a family. When we struggling with the decision of me working from home and leaving my FT job we relyed on God to provide, and HE sure has. We followed our faith and that has proven to be the right path for us. My babies are my constant motivation for maintaining a lifestyle that allows them to have their mommy around. Gotta give all the props though to Tim for the daily support. It would be so much easier to have a regular job but, he is always there rooting me on, checking on my goals and encouraging me to make them happen. Without his support I couldn't get from day to day. He is the best husband and daddy. Well, guess that's enough for th first post. I look forward to sharing more later on.
