Its like those pictures on the old woman lawn pictures, ya know what i;'m talking about? yeahhh, those ones... haha, poor Levi, but i just could not resist the urge to "click" that photo. haha... So Levi is now 9months old, that means 9months ago he was in my tummy, where does the time go? AND, even worse MILES will be 3 next month.. not happy about that.. no sir. We are having a good day, making dinner for friends who are moving into their first home, baking cookies, napping, hearing the CRAZy wind outside, and doing loads and loads of laundry... wowzers, theres a lot. Oh, and i am sipping ice tea from my IKEA cups, they are stinking adorable!!! Who else LOVES IKEA?!?!?! If you dont love IKEA, welll, its b/c you never have been there, BUT once you have to obsession will begin.. trust me on that one... danger valley....

good ol' fam time...

My momma and me.

Remember I told you we had a momma daughter date, seeing that lady christian comedian? Well, let me tell you, it was grrreat!! We had a great time, and laughed from the moment we left the house till we fell in the door. We had a lovely time shopping, eating Krispie Kremes, eating Olive Garden, getting DSW crazy bargains, OH and dont forget seeing a great show. Our time out and about was soo needed, and such fun. Ok, so the bargains we got, we purchased an amazing purse for..... .50 and a silver amazing clutch for... 1.95.... hahahaha, i was like to the cashier.. "ARNT YOU EXCITED?!?!" and HE was like... "um... yyeahhhh...." Oh well, i was like dancing out of the store! I also bought at Kohls a pair of jeans, Candies label for..... $4.00.... i know, sick eh? And thats with tax.... wow, breathe my friends.... ok, SO i guess i better post at least one more photo for the fam:

little Stellan, big story...

Little baby, 5month old Stellan, a picture posted at the right, is fighting for his life... My heart aches for him, every day I check up on him via his mothers blog. (you can read about it by clicking on the picture) He was diagnosed while still in his mommy's tummy, with a condition that makes his heart beat veryy fast. The Dr's told his mommy that he would not make it after he was born. Well, here he is 5 months later and a joy to the world. His condition on the heart has recently come back, and he is in the hospital now fighting for his life... Actually, people around the world are also fighting for his life, praying for little Stellan all around the world. When you view her blog, you will see his name, Stellan, has been written allllll over the world. People from every nation it seems know this little champion. So, if you will take a moment and look at little Stellans blog, say a prayer for him and his family, that would be awesome... Our God is a God of miracles, and nothing is impossible for Thee...

Miles ate all hid dinner, "horray!"

For the start of my blog a row of photos for a quick update!!! See this one below?? Notice the Spiderman tent in the background sister Rachael? Miles and Levi love it.... Thanks again!!! Miles posing for mommma, hehe..

Levi cute as a baby can be!

The boys and Daddy, aweeee....

Down Below: Miles tonight after eating a BIG dinner of fried chicken and roasted veggies, soooooooooooooooooooooo good. We even had a chance to chat with Bryce's mum Joy via Skype, yippy, but poor connection kept us from chatting long, booo. Levi is into full on crawling mode, no more army crawl. Tomorrow mom and I are out for a girls day, we are going to see a lady christian comedian, we are sooooooooooooo excited! Her name is Chandra Pierce. She is sooo good, you should check her out on you tube.. sooo funny. I dont know about you but laughing is the best medicine. I get soooo happy after an afternoon of laughter, its theropy. The tulips are coming up very quickly, and i cant wait to see all the color they will bring. Yum, yum, hot cocoa from his NZ cuppa....

Bryce and I on our marriage trip wkend get away, downtown Baltimore, MD.

yes, its 70 again...

so, i have been going to a tough work out class every tuesday night with my friend Lisa... it is an ouch one.... let me just start off by saying the first class i was on the verge of fainting in front of everyone... the instructor ran out and got me a wet cloth, while i tried to hide my majorly embarrassed face... not a pretty sight. BUT, since that first "fun" class, i have loved it, its an interval class, high impact/ weight trainging thing. AND boy, the day after the class i am a mess with ouchy spots, but boy that type of ouch is always exciting, isnt it??

Bryce preached on sunday, and it went really good. If any of you want to hear him, go to our church's web page: http://www.ccf-va.org/ I think you can find it there, if not write to me and i'll have a look. Levi is out of controle, nothing is safe anymore, NOTHING... i will be moving around the furniture for the 3rd time since he has started moving.... i am running out of ideas! Miles is still doing great on the potty front, and i am still amazed that he is diaper free, wow, great feeling. Bryce is slowly geering up to take his trip to NZ, he will be leaving Easter Sunday, and coming back the following week. I WANNA GOO TOOOO!!! BUttttt..... I will try to survive here in virginia... boo-hoo. When i think that we were only there a yr ago this month, its a crazy thought... I think of all the fun we had traveling around NZ, and all the family and friends we saw, it was a great time. I also think of Little Joshua Matthew Sams, our dear friends baby, whom most of you know is with the Lord now, BUT for that breif visit we had with our little Joshy baby, it was blissful. So i will end this blog with a special picture of our dear Joshua,

"we love you little man, and cant wait to meet your new little sister!"

its 70 here, and i see tulips breaking through the winter soil...

YEAH, Internet at home, for once... So as always there is plenty to say and not enough time to tell it all so here goes: Miles is officially potty trained, as in #1's, #2's, "momma i got to go potty.." and even an occasional dry morning diaper... i am thrilled, it only took like 3 months.. BUT never the less, it is over, i did it. I Swear those motivational songs for the toddlers about YOU CAN DO IT, are really for the moms.... "you mean, I wont be changing my teenagers nappy? one day he'll use a potty?" PRAISE THE LORD! Also, we have discovered that Miles is hyper... seriously, i thought he was just happy all the time, but, he is a little mini-me when i was his age, always chattering/singing/screaming/dancing/rambling on and on and on and onnnn... it is a full day of the circus for FREE! Levi on the other hand is well, wait a min, yup on the same path as his brother, only a TON faster... he is just 8months old and is climbing up to a stand, crawling like no ones business, and eating for 3... WHAT am i gonna do. And we are certain he has said "da da.." I know every ones baby is "Super Baby" but let me tell you, we might have the real thing here in little Bealeton, Virginia..... Today was beautifullll, 70 with a warm breeze, and a long walk to enjoy it with. (also a Moo latte from DQ) Well, I think that is it, I can never remember what to type when i get the chance.... OH, Bryce is preaching this Sunday, i'll tell you on Monday if we still have a job or not, haha..... yeahhh. OK, well, here are some pictures to cheer ya allll up from the drought of, welll, no pictures..... oooooooooo, and a short Levi film.

Love to ALL!!!
