An Update...

Growing and ever changing...

almost a smile...

so much fun...

those big, beautiful eyes...

Rosie cracks us up, because she will be sitting up in the corner of the couch and the next thing we know...she's snoring. It is so adorable!

Once he's in...you can't get him out! Cruz loves taking a bath...usually:)

Thanks to our friends the Evan's from back home, Cruz got some of the cutest little Bee slippers!

Cruz is always wanting to hold Rosie.
He holds her and kisses her continually. He is such a sweet big brother!

While we were home in Montana, we blessed our new bundle. Here are a few pictures, but I am hoping to post a few more.

A Proud Daddy...

Rosie looks so beautiful.
Just for those who didn't know, she got to wear my blessing dress. I thought that was pretty cool:)

We love our daddy and had so much fun spending the holidays with him.
Now that were are back in Tennessee, both kids are daddy's kids.
Cruz gets so excited when he hears the front door unlocking; Rosie gets goo goo eyes every time Taylor looks at her...me to0!

Grandma and Grandpa-Great spoiled us all!
We love them and had so much fun spending time with them.

Thanks to all the helping hands, Taylor and I were able to get out on our own a few times. This particular excursion was ice skating...naturals!

The plane rides went well going both directions.
Thank heavens for DVD players!

Rosie and Daddy on the plane.

Our trip home was successful and so much fun!
Thanks to all those who helped make it a stress-free trip...and a trip at all!
We love you all and can't wait 'til the next go round!

Just a side note, but church got canceled, because we got so much snow. Believe it or not it is actually a winter wonderland out here today!
ENJOY!

Tennessee Tease

Tennessee Tease...I just LOVE this weather!

Well...if you have any idea what the weather has been like her in Tennessee, you would understand. One day it is cloudy, the next pouring rain...ALL DAY LONG, the next day beautiful sunshine (For a few precious hours), TODAY...SNOW!
I didn't know we were moving to Seattle, WA., but that is what is feels like right now.
It is amazing how the weather can have such a huge affect on your mood. I have never been a depressed person, but it is so easy to be depressed here. So, today, as I was sitting here thinking about how depressed I was, I began thinking..."Why does it have to be this way?"
THE ANSWER: IT DOESN'T!!

I am always telling Taylor that he just has to choose to be happy...look in the mirror Josie...I decided that this time I needed to take my own advice.

To snap out of my little "poor me" moment I began chasing Cruz around. Now I understand why we are supposed to become like a child. It is amazing how pure and sweet their joy is! The smallest and seemingly insignificant actions can bring them to their knees...because they are laughing so hard!
I am so thankful for my kids, for the sweet pure joy that they bring me!

So today, I am making a choice...instead of frowning I choose to spread my smile!

Today, laugh...you will be amazed by the power!

P.S. I got a new camera and need a reader for the SD Card. It is on its way in the mail...so you will have to wait to see how much the kids are growing.
Cruz weighed in at 28 3/4lbs.
Rosie weighed in at 10 lbs. 11oz.
Yippee!!
