Neglected blog.....

Well, I suppose it's excused with the "move" that I haven't kept up on here. Soooo much has happened and everyone's changed that I don't even know where to start....so here's a blanket blog:
Moved from Oklahoma to Gig Harbor, WA....love it!
New house...in the woods, near the water...love that, too!
See family everyday...very blessed!
New job for Mike...he's favored there!
New church....it's family now!
Bella into sports...swimming, tae kwon do, and everything under the sun!
Ethan into sports as well, same as his sister, a healthy competition sometimes and others..teammates!
Annie, 6 months and growing.....saying mama, dada, and crawling everywhere!
And last, me...surviving and thriving being a wife, mother, teacher, administrator, and newly Children's Ministry Developer!

Annie's 3 months old!

Annie turned 3 months old on the 20th...she had busy week accomplishing milestone after milestone! On Monday, she started grasping objects and today, on Thanksgiving, she rolled over from back to tummy! Then, she laughed for the first time! You're so much fun , Annie!

A Smile is worth a thousand words....

Though she has been smiling for a while now, this is the first real one caught on camera....sooo cute!

Out of the mouths of babes.

Preceeding events: Ethan was grumpy from lack of sleep through Day Light Savings and it was quite evident in his tone of voice.
Ethan: I want a movie.
Mike: Ethan watch your mouth.
Ethan: But dad, I can't see my mouth.
Thus the explanation of the phrase: "Watch your mouth."

We're on vacation now!

Now that we have moved out of our house, we are staying in a "guest quarters" of our good friends. It's so relaxing......finally time to rest!

Trick or Treat!

We had a blast trick or treating....in our midst we had a Power Ranger, Bumblebee Transformer and a little kitty!
This year was dfferent, we watchd Bella "speed trick or treat" with the big kids, and Ethan brought up the rear because he was busy opening his candy after each house! It was our last Halloween in our neighborhood, so we savored every moment of it!
