MK the ballerina

Mackenzie had a dance recital this past weekend in Ohio....she did a beautiful job! She has definitely improved in the "graceful" department. She was wonderful. We were so excited to see her, even if it was for such a quick trip.This was her third recital!!! She has gotten so big. When we got home, Jeff and I were comparing her recital pictures over the years.....too cute! I love her first recital picture....her little 4 year old hands...and look at those cheeks!

 

So graceful and ladylike....she is the front row ballerina all the way to your right......both above and below!

Here she is after the recital...so proud to have all her family there! I love this picture....she looks so happy! She is coming to NC for the summer.....we are counting down the days!

Daddy and his #1 girl!

Me and Mk squeeze a shot in, too!

 

Meet baby Finley!

Finley arrived today just one day shy of her due date weighing in at 8lbs 14 oz! The birth was amazing......so incredible to see life begin! She is absolutely beautiful! Mother and baby are doing well. here are a few pics of llittle "Miss Finley"....

 So sweet...more to follow....

Meet Baby Tozer

Spring is always filled with suprises.....and Jeff and I, well, we recieved a HUGE suprise with news that we were expecting!!!!! We are very excited and now that I am past the first trimester and closing in on my fourth month, I am thankfully feeling much better! It's is still hard to believe that before next thanksgiving we will have a new addition to our family! Jeff, the boys and Mk are all hoping for a girl....and so am I. We will find out within the month. Exciting, exciting!The funniest thing is that when we told the kids, they each independently of each other had the same reaction......."so who has to share a room now?!" We found this to be quite humorous! I tell them having your own room is a limited time luxury! I did not plan on being pregnant again, and I have such fond memories of being prego with the boys, so i am excited to have an unexpected go at it again but it was such a blur with them being so close together.....so I am planning on trying to enjoy each and every moment of this pregnancy. It all goes by so fast. I want to enjoy the "season" I am in! More updates later....but for now.....first pics of "Baby Tozer".

Being behind the camera so much, I have to make sure I snap a few of my tummy here and there! I am in the process of training Jeff....if I dont, my kids will look back at all these great pictures of themselves and never see a mom.....they will think they were raised by wolves.....wolves who knew how to take good pictures! 

 

In case you were wondering.....

This is my new favorite food of all time! FRUIT! I have always eaten alot of fruit, but lately I cant get enough! I love to have a bowl full of fruit with some vanilla yogurt and low fat granola with a dash of cinnammon.....mmmm....little taste of heaven!

 

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today was my birthday....another pleasant day to be reminded that I am now a whole year older and wiser! Actually, it was a pleasant day...the weather was beautiful, did some light shopping (LOVE Marshall's Mega Shoe Dept!) had lunch with my sister's, Bon and Mer. We ate some good mexican food while contemplating when Mer is actually going to go into labor. I was hoping for Finley to share my birthday, but it didnt happen. Then later after a nice meal with Jeff and the kids, everyone came over for some ice cream cake. Below are some shots with me and my cake, flanked with my niece, Ava and nephew, Reed. I love how they are "helping me" blow out the candles! It was a great day....I even got a gift certificate for a spa from Jeff and a gift card to Ulta! The man knows what I like!

 

I made a wish....we will see if it comes true!
