Finally got to see my mom!

It only took me having a baby to get my mom to come visit me. But I am so glad I finally got to see her. It's been almost 2 years since I last saw my mommy! And I sure have missed her.

We had a very nice time together and even managed to make it through the visit without fighting! I am so proud!

We did lots of eating and shopping. She spoiled my sweet little girl with lots of new clothes. It was so nice of her! She got Lizzi her Easter dress along with some Easter pj's that have bunny feet. So cute!! We also went and saw Lord of the Dance movie that was in 3D. The 3D could have been left out but it was neat to see Michael Flatley dance again. He sure is amazing!!

The last day my mom was here we went and got Indian food for the 3rd time in the 2 weeks she was here and then took her to the air port. It was sad to see her go but We will get to see her again in July!



Here's the 3 of us the morning my mom left. Too bad Lizzi didn't want to take a picture. She usually is really good about keeping her head up.

Updates!

Oh my I have neglected this poor blog!! Lets see the last time I updated Brad and I were looking into moving out of our apartment and wanting to start a family as soon as he got home. We found out in June that we were going to be having a baby. We weren't expecting it to happen so soon after he came home but I guess God had other plans for us! We were finally able to move out of our apartment in August and but a house in September. Which we love! It's been so great having our own space. And not having crazy neighbors keeping us up all hours of the night. Although we now have a beautiful baby girl Elizabeth Fae that wakes us up all hours of the night. But I wouldn't trade her for anything.

Being a mom is one of the greatest things I could ever be able to do! She's such a wonderful baby. So sweet and peaceful. She arrived at 12:50 pm on Feb 24th 2011. She was 8 lbs even and 21 inches. She is a very healthy baby and loves to be with her daddy!

Brad and I also have been very blessed to get a brand new car. We drove it off the lot with 26 miles on it. I love my new car. We got a 2011 Ford Fiesta. It's blue. And so much fun!!

Brad also got some great news the day we went to the hospital to have a baby he got offered his dream job! We have been waiting for this since he got home last year. I am so happy that he is able to start his career. And he's so happy about being in a job where he gets to help people. Not to mention it's great to say my husband is a fire fighter!

I think that pretty much sums up all that has been going on with our family. I will be so much better about it now! Especially since we now have a baby and she will keep us on out toes!
