Feast Your Eyes!

The begining of potty training.....Not sure what she is looking at!




So I had some scrapbooking stuff out, but I had it blocked off in the dining room. So it was SAFE to load the dishwasher.....right? A few minutes into it, I hear Michaela singing, "raining, man is snoring, bump him head," And so on in her cute little Michaela language. I thought is was adorable and started singing with her. AND THEN, I cam out to the living room. And saw my pack of 1000 scraps of paper, raining on my baby. GREAT.



Ice Cram for Breakfast? Don't tell Grandma!


I watch this little boy during the daytime. He was sitting against Michaela's chair and she saw him, so she ran to her chair, squealed with delight and said, "Me rub you friend!" And she gave him an actual back massage. :)



Is this the cutest thing you have ever seen?

Who Thinks I Need Help????

So...... Jordan wasn't home this morning (yes, I drink coke in the morning......save the judging until you read this WHOLE post, there is more!) And the lid was on SO tight! So, I took it as a sign, I shouldn't be drinking Cherry Coke anyway, especially at 9 in the morning. So I left it there. Until 9:07. And then this happened. Poor Cherry Coke Bottle! Does anyone know if they make AA or something like it for Cherry Coke addicts like me???

Michaela and Jackson Wedding Rehersal

This is Michaela and her best friend Jackson. His mommy and I always tell them to be nice to each other because they are engaged........ wouldn't that be so cool?!! They have so much fun together and ask all the time to go to each other's house! We thought you might want a front row seat to their wedding rehersal dance....................ENJOY!



And this is what it looks like when Michaela dresses herself for the day! TWO YEAR OLDS!!

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL Girl!

Cutest little happy face in the WORLD!!! (sorry it pauses at the end...... it's over though so you don't have to wait it out....)

Keeping Busy!

While we have been waiting for our second little girl to get here, Michaela has taken the opportunity to remind us of what a HANDFUL she is! We have had a crazy week! Nevertheless, we love her so much and know she will make a wonderful big sister to our baby! (yep, I am avoiding using her name on purpose...... it's a surprise!) Even those of you whom we have told a name we were thinking........that's not it anymore!!! Anyway, here are some pictures from the past week.

New coat from Old Navy! And ready for Church.

She Likes to Move It, Move It!!

December 08

There is just too much to post! We went to Seattle for Christmas, and were fortunate enough to see both our families while we were there. Our first plan was to fly out on the 22nd and settle in before the Holiday started. Mother Nature, however, decided to dump so much snow in Washington State that our flight got cancelled! We ended up flying out on Christmas Day, traveling all day and getting in really late that night. The Fife family was nice enought to wait for us though and we opened presents with them that night! Both of Jordan's brother's were there with their significant others (one has a wife, one has a girlfriend) and Michaela got to see her only cousin on that side(for now ;) ) and LOVED him! You may notice a lack of Fife sided pictures on this post. That is because My brother and sister in law are professional photographers and I felt silly taking the same picuters they were taking and pretty much left it up to them. I am hoping to score some when Amber gets around to posting hers..........

Anyway, after a week of Fife, we headed to the RAINFORREST of Amanda Park Washington to hang out with the Kresge side of life. It rained the entire time! In one 48 hour period, we got 15 inches of rain - that's A LOT of water! I did also get to go to Forks WA with my mom, (think Twilight people) and let me tell you, if you get a chance to visit the magical place that is Edward Cullen - DON"T. It's a let down. Not a stitch of fanism anywhere. Just a sign that says, "welcome to Forks." So below are some pictures, mostly from my side of the family, and there are many more stories to tell and pictures to show, and I hope I get around to doing it! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and Happy 2009!



Who doesn't like chocolate ice cream in a black-out?! And my dad reading her a story....
