19 Months Old

I got a new camera for Christmas (and am SOOO excited about it!!). It's a Nikon 3000...thanks Kad! Now, if only I could figure out how to use it. There's a huge manual that I need to read...but for now, I'm just doing 'point and click.' Hopefully, by the time baby Kruz is here, I'll be a little better at it. However, I took Gabriella out and took some "19 month old" pics when we finally had some decent weather. Here are some of them:

My beautiful angel

Wild About Baby Kruz!

We are so blessed! My best friend Shannon and my amazing sister in law Suzette threw Kruz and I a baby shower! They were able to pull off a beautiful shower, despite the fact it was right after the holidays and they both have two little ones of their own. Everything about the 'jungle themed' shower was perfect...the people, the colors, the decorations, the food, everything... I had such a good time with my wonderful family and friends, and got spoiled rotten! Thank you to everyone!!

Loved the Publix cake...my favorite!

Yummy desserts!

Animal crackers...how clever!

Delicious food

Snow Day!!

Last Friday, we got a "Snow Day"! Really, we were iced in our neighborhood and couldn't get out for about a day and half. Therefore, my school was closed and Kad couldn't make it to work. So, we made the best of the situation, and had lots of fun together as a family. We had a busy day. Here are some of our adventures:

Hanging around in jammies until way too late!

Playing in the house

Having a blast!

Kicking a ball...early soccer player? ;)

Her buddy/neighbor, Eli, came over to play for a bit

Daddy and Gabriella headed out into the snow (okay, so it was less than an inch, but still!)

Careful!

My favorite!!

In a snow-daze

Sweet cheeks

Running!

Playing with Mommy

Staying warm...trying to anyway! The windchill was 0 degrees...brr!

Daddy's freezing!

35 weeks preanant with baby Kruz

Hmmm...

C...c...cold!

How fun is this?!

Us with our snowy house

Time to go in :(

Playing in the snow produced a great nap. After which, Gabriella and I baked cookies together.

Helping Mommy

"Look at my messy hands, Daddy!"

Covered in flour

Cookie kisses

Delicious!

This is so much fun!!

Decorating is the best part

Time to play again!
