Spray Grounds

Today I took the girls and we met up with Anna's good friends, Carlee, Riley and Shawn. We went to the Spray Grounds which is off Penn. It was really neat their was like different water sprays where you push a buttom and the kids get wet. The girls loves the little ones the best and the rainbow. Anna was really hestiate because she did not like to get her face wet. Everytime it would get wet she would start to cry and sk for a towel. Another bad side was I used my sister's video camera and it got wet and now it has to be fixed oh well. The kids had a great time and we had a picnic lunch also. At the end when we got home I got Anna out of the car and she fell asleep on the floor and then I got Caroline and she did the same thing as I was getting the stuff out of the car. What a priceless memories.

I'm Finally One

Wow time sure does fly. My second child Caroline is now one sniff sniff. I wish time would slow down some it just means I'm getting older while my girls are so young. Today we went to the doctor on her birthday and she was not that happy this time. She is 29 inches tall and weighs 17 pounds and 15 ounces. Wow so much smaller than Anna who wieghed 20 pounds at 1. Plus te doctor said she is going to be bigger than Anna we wil have to wait and see what God has in store for my little one. Happy birthday Caroline. We love you.

Almost 1 Remember the time

Wow is all I can say God has blessed out family of 2 little girls so far. Caroline Lathrop has been such a blessing to our family. It's so hard to belive that tonight will be the night Tim and I went into the hospital to deliver out second child. It all happened to fast and she is the most precious gift God has given us along with our precious Anna. Carlline has done so much with her cute laughs, smiles, late night feedings, cries, and memories. As of today before she turns one she is now doing the indian covering her mouth and going AHHHH, almost walking she will almost balance for 10 seconds and then fall down. From crawling, to hugs and kisses, I couldn't be more proud of this little child from God. My prayer is for one day for her to ask Jesus into her heart and memorize Bible verses like her sister and aslways ask mommy can you read the Bible to me I want to learn about Jesus. That is the most precious gift I think we can give our children is to teach them about Christ and how to be like HIm and love them for who they are no matter what trails they face each day. I love you so much my little care.

Happy Birthday Caroline

Today is a a very special day for us. It's almost Caroline's 1st birthday a few days early. Mom worked really hard all week getting the house all clean for her guests. We made pasta salad, hamburgers, watermelon, chips and cake with water and tea. Tim cooked the burgers and I got everything else together. When everyone got their we ate and Caroline even ate the pasta salad while Anna did not. It was time to sing Happy birthday and Caroline listened really well and even cut the cake with mom's help. Sad thing is she never ate the cake she just banged on her tray and cried and everytime I tried to give her some she puched my hand away. She got a bunch of cook gifts from firends she loves like a precious moments statue, polar bear house, panio, clothes, a mickey mouse tent, swim stuff and more. She really had a fun time. It's amazine to see how much the change and grown into the preciouse little ones God wants them to be at this age. I wish time would go slower. I don't want them to grow up anymore. I wish they could stay little forever. We love you little Caroline.

LITTLE RED WAGON

Yesterday I took the girls for their first wagon ride. Anna was so excited she said, Mommy I have never been on a wagon ride. So I got their pics taken like always for the first pics and we took a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. Anna kept telling me to go down low meaning she wanted me to go down the hills. She said go faster mommy but poor mommy coudn't go to fast. Caroline was more interested in the water but the girls had a blast. I'll talk them again soon.

A DISHWASHER GIRL

Caroline loves to help me put the dishes away. Everytime I open the dish washer she goes straight for the baby bottle things. She also can now pull the whole bottom of it off. It's so much fun because mom can get the dishes done while Caroline can play. Memories to remember.

My little Gardener

Anna has been asking me all summer. Mommy can we get flowers to plant. I want to learn about the roots and weeds to. So we went to Wal-Mart and got a bunch fo different colors of flowers. She wanted purple the most, and I also got some fun fun in red and yellow. When she was napping I spent 3 hours pulling the weeds and getting the holes ready for her to help me plant them. When we got out there she only planted one of them. She said Mommy I don't want to do anymore. So I planted the rest and she watered them. I had fun though and now our garden is really pretty with out lovely angels in the background. It's amazine how much God put his work into nature.

My little cooks. Anna loves to cook with Mommy. Whenever I feel she can do something I let her help me out. Today we made mash pototes and green beans. She helped me snap them and while Caroline tired to eat them. Then the pototes she smashed them and made and put the butter and milk in them. Then I helped her some and she said, Mommy you have to bang on it meaning to bang on the side to get the excess off. She said Mommy I love mashed potatoes. Caroline when I gave her the smasher he almost put it on the ground and she put her fingers in it. It was really fun to watch them cook. I don't care how messy they get as long as they learn and have fun.

Here is Caroline walking with her simba car.

Anna singing Jesus loves me.

Caroline just born.

Our little one is finally 11 months old. I can't not belive this not much longer til she is 1. We had a rough time last month. She got really sick with a high fever and a rash that lasted more than a week. So she was sick at 11 months. Mommy slept in her room with her and we both slept on the floor in sleeping bags. There are the pics you see. Now she is doing so much better. She is holding on thing and walking with her simba car, and holding and walking across the couch. I wish life would slow down. It's so amazing how God changes these little girls so fast. We love you little Care, or Anna would say Carolina.

A basket full of joy. I thought it would be fun to take some cute pictures of Caroline in the landary basket. She wanted out so fast so I had to be really speedy.

I did a scrapbook spead on Anna in the sink when she was really young. Now this one is of my little Care. It was much harder to take pics of Care then Anna. Care wanted to always get out of the sink. I kept putting her back in to get pics. It was really cute.
