2009!

Ok so I've been terrible at updating this lately. But can you blame me? Honestly... I have 2 kids under the age of 2 and I'm a full time Nursing student in my last semester of Nursing school. Let's face it, I'm busy. But I guess now is as good of time as any to introduce Hailee to the blog. She's 5 months old now so she's not exactly brand new to the family, but that's how long it has been since I've updated this. Also, new pictures of Grace.

Even though I am busy, I'm in no way complaining. I have to say that I absolutely love my life. Sure, it's hard sometimes. But I have so much to be thankful for! Just look!

Hailee posing for the camera. She was 3 months old here.

She's such a beautiful baby!

Daddy styled Gracie's hair in the tub. Her hair is nothing like mine. She has this beautiful blonde super straight hair.

Justin and Grace definitely have a special bond. She adores him and when I come home after they've spent a day together, she usually knows some new cute little thing to do... like saying "thank you" or "please" or helping to unload the dishwasher. He's always teaching her something new and they already have a very special daddy-daughter bond.

This was one of our Christmas pictures taken out at Lover's Point in Monterey, CA. Hailee was 3 months old here too. I need to upload some more recent pictures, but I'll get to that soon. As of right now, Hailee is definitely a mama's girl. That may just be because she relies on me for food, but for right now, I'm her favorite person to be with (and I love that!). She's a sweet baby and smiles all the time!

So this is it for the update right now but I will be posting more. I now have a working computer again so that helps!
Love,

Amanda

Jacob in San Francisco

Jacob pulled into port in San Francisco July 23rd after 6 weeks of sailing on the U.S. Coast Guard ship, the Eagle. So since we are only about an hour south of San Fran, we went up there and spent 2 days with him. Justin hadn't seen him in over a year and Grace and I had last seen him in December. We had a blast spending time with him! On the 2nd day he got to take us on the Eagle and give us a tour. It was a beautiful day and the ship was really awesome. It was cool getting to see where he has been for the summer. I think Justin wanted to go too. Here are some pictures of us while we were touring the Eagle. The worst part of the trip was saying goodbye to Jake and not knowing when the next time will be that we see him :(

Grace hanging out by the "captain's coffin" (I think that's what Jake called it... forgive me if I got that wrong)

All of us on the Eagle

Pretty cool huh?

Gracie's Birthday!!

Ok so these are in order from bottom to top so look at them in that order.

So her birthday was a great day! We had tons of fun just playing and doing "Gracie things". The cake experience was great and she loved her presents. Just wish that everyone could have been there to celebrate with us!

Finally New Pictures!

Sorry it has been soooo long since I have updated this site. We were having internet issues but now that they are finally resolved, I will definitely try to keep this updated better for everyone to see what's new with us. So these are some of the most recent pictures: Justin's promotion ceremony, 4th of July, and Grace at the beach. Enjoy!
