'Tis the Season to be Jolly!!

YaY! It's Christmas time!! I'm so excited that its Christmas time, it's one of my favorite times of year. So I pulled out all the decorations and the tree and put it all up. Now all I have to do is the outside....Which will be a lot of fun and interesting being that this is the first house I've gotten to do the outside (we've always lived in apartments until now). I'm really looking forward to Christmas this year because we will be having it at our house for the first time. My family will be coming here and so I will be starting new traditions. Also it's Connor's first Christmas (not that he'll know whats going on ha ha) and I know Annika will understand whats going on and have a blast. I can't wait to see her open presents and her stocking!!! Well Connor is crying....again...and I want to finish my pumpkin pie and go to bed. Hopefully I'll start posting things more often lol..I've gone too long this last time!

Halloween and More....

So the kids had a blast on Halloween. Kristina and Annika were fairies and Connor was going to be a lion but his costume was too big; of course being a mom, I had to have pictures of him in his too big costume lol. I think he looked adorable, but I'm not too sure he would agree with me lol. We started the night off with pizza with the Pursley's and got the kids ready and went door to door trick or treating together.....a very nice change from the mall scene that we typically do! We all had a great time! Annika wasn't too sure of what was going on, but she did want to eat all the candy....and still does (she has realized that I keep it on the top of the refridgerator and always runs to the kitchen and points at it..sometimes even saying please haha). I've posted a couple of pictures from the night as well as a couple from the photo shoot Annie did of me and the girls the day before Connor was born. They turned out so awesome! Thanks Annie!!

The newest edition to our family

Connor James Lombard has finally arrived! Well a week ago, I'm just finally getting around to posting something and some pictures hehe. He was born at 7:50 p.m and weighed 6lbs. 7oz and was 19 1/4 inches long. Healthy as can be! I must say the transition of going from a family of four to a family of five is going much smoother than I thought. The girls absolutely adore him! I knew Kristina would be fine, but Annika adores him just as much as her older sister does. Annika always has to give the baby kisses and the instant he cries, she's running to his bassinet pointing at him and telling me "baby, baby." She also has to try to "help" me with diaper changes and feedings hehe. Of course there is some jealousey but not as much as I had expected! YaY! I have to say I feel so blessed with the family God has given me. Also the ton's of family and friends willing to help out at anytime has been such a blessing. Thank you to all of you who have brought meals (and will be bringing them), have helped out, and just for praying for us! My grandparents and parents for all that they have done.......Thank you so much! I don't think I can convey how much all of it is greatly appreciated by us. And thank you Annie for all the pictures you have/will be taking :D I love them! Well I guess its time for me to get back to folding laundry, changing diapers, and feeding kids haha! Enjoy the pics!

Getting Started

So I've decided to listen to Annie and create a new blog on this site! Any tips are appreciated :) Hopefully I'll be quick about posting pictures and blogs. On another note, I'm really excited because we broke Annika of pacifiers!! YaY! It was so much easier than I expected it be. I just didn't give it to her one night and poof she was off of them! We also bought her a potty chair, not sure how that will go. If she's interested great, if not then we wait. But she does tell us when she needs a diaper change, so thats a start!
