Colors of my World

 Party in the pool! :)
We got to spend our monthly Sister's Meeting at Jana's house this time. 

The kiddos enjoyed the pool, shade from the umbrella on the deck. and the water table!
I was proud of Anna Ruth for hanging in there with all the "big kids".

 We were also celebrating this sweet girl's 2 year birthday!

 I love Caleb's alphabet art. :)

 This girl loves a party. 

 Jana baked delicious cupcakes-what a treat!
Anna Ruth isn't big on sweets....

her tastebuds must have come from her Dada.

She ate a bite or two and then tossed the cupcake down on the floor. 

Silly girl.

 Me and my two babies.....

I'm 18 weeks pregnant now,

feeling Baby 2 a lot (when I'm still enough that is),

and anxious to find out in two weeks what we're having!

 Something I keep realizing and saying lately is how FUN this stage of life is with Anna Ruth.

It seriously just keeps getting more and more fun!
She is our constant surprise. :) 

As an expectant mom a little over a year ago I anticipated the birth, and holding and cuddling a tiny baby (as all new moms do!) Although that stage was special too,

I had no idea how much Anna Ruth would make me laugh,

and how much color and joy she would bring to my world at age one.

(and how much patience I would need to pray for too...

Anna Ruth has quite a bit of "get up and go"...

she's passionate in the obeying..and in the NOT obeying, lol)

 We tried out some chalk this week...... :)

 and watched twin deer babies eat and run with their mama.

 I made a new activity for Anna I'll be sharing later this week......

 this salad was delicious and oh so healthy

 and this dip was incredibly good!! (and healthy too!)

 Around here, we're looking forward to my best friend's wedding,

the Fourth of July,

and a bit of time off for Brett.

What about you?
