Happy Birthday Jesus

Jaala's Preschool Christmas Program


Sugar Cookies, Dec 09 & Dec 10

We painted butter cookies the other day, and Jaala loved it and did so well. I also put a picture from Dec 09 and Dec 10 to see how much she has grown, WOW, stop growing please, love your Mama!

Jaala's Half Birthday Dec 3rd

We celebrated Jaala's half birthday at Preschool with pink Barbie cupcakes. They seemed to be a hit!

Jaala's Christmas program at church was fun, we had soup, she sang Jesus Loves Me and God Made Me, and we had Happy Birthday Cake for Jesus!

Thanksgiving 2010

We enjoyed Thanksgiving at our friend Amy's house this year, and they had our little Thanksgiving with our family at home!

Happy Beginning Of Our Love Day

Matthew made me a sign for our dating anniversary in October 21. He always remembers all the special dates! What a sweetheart!

Before & After Haircut



I cut Jaala's hair for her first haircut, I thought it looked good!!!

Bath Time & Halloween 2010




This Halloween we enjoyed a parade at the Bemis Library, Jaala had a party at Preschool with face painting, and Trunk or Treat at our church. I thought this was a cute picture of the girls at bath time too! Rock and Roll hair!!!

8, 9, 10 months Naomi Rose



You have gone from crawling at 8 months, to walking at 10 1/2 months! Moving and getting into trouble is fun for you, especially Jaala's stuff. Naomi loves touching the Christmas tree too. We love your silly laugh, and fun personality. You are still drinking from your bottle, eating baby and people food, and drinking from a cup. We love you babe, and couldn't imagine life without you!!!!!

Naomi's Dedicaton




First Day of Preschool


Jaala started her first day of Preschool at Busy Bee, at Bethany Church. She loves it!

6 and 7 Month Naomi




Naomi has gone through a lot of changes recently. She sits up so good, gets in crawling position and rocks back and forth, pulls herself up from you in standing position, loves playing with her toys on the floor too. She has gone from only breastfeeding to bottle feeding, due to my milk supply. Not only has this been a transition for myself, but Naomi too. We're hoping everyday gets easier and better! She loves to be close to me and cuddle too, which is nice! She loves her baby food, and eats a variety of fruits, veggies, and meat. She is talking more, laughing, and loves watching Jaala play.

Here are some pictures at 6 and 7 months old:

Dana and Nora's Visit





Dana, my good friend from college, came to visit us in July, with her daughter, Nora. We enjoyed the park, swimming, and just talking. Thank you for coming my sweet friend!






Summer Vacation 2010





I have't posted in so long, so I am doing a MAJOR update on US!

This summer we went on a road trip with Jaala 3years old and Naomi 4months old! We should just call it an adventure, because it was one we will never forget. Traveled to Wisconsin, staying with Mom and Tim for two weeks. Enjoyed the 4th of July, celebrated Matthew's 28th Birthday, Chuckie Cheese for the first time, Eagle River Cabin, swam in the Lake, and had some major much needed family time! After that, we went to Paul and Kathy's summer home, and enjoyed time with Oma, Opa, Joshua, and Rachel. We went to a Dairy Farm, swam in the local pool, went to the park, movies, and dinner. The last leg of our trip consisted of, the Barnes Family Reunion 2010, in Cedar Falls, IA. We stayed in a hotel, swam in the local pool/water park, and had a great time seeing the Barnes' again. The trip was needed and enjoyed! We're so grateful, we had the chance to go back and see everyone again!
