My Maryland Peeps!

I was looking through pictures today of all my best friends from Maryland and missing all the fun times! It all started back in high school and most of us went away to college but the first two years or so we would all come back for the summers and play ALL summer long. We played many, many video and board games at Shari R.'s house, and ate at all the diner's every hour of the night. Never in my life had I had more fun!  Now we are all adults now (I know its shocking), and I have not seen some people in three years, since my wedding reception in Baltimore. We have two married, one engaged, one  just finishing med school and only three actually still in the Baltimore area but that doesn't mean that I do not think about everyone of them everyday! They will always be the best friends a girl could ask for!

O's game 2005.  It was get a silly orange camouflage hat day! 

Shari's dads house... It was a sleepover where we watched the "Aristcrats" (2006)

There are several pictures of this and this the only one we are all looking  at the camera. What is Jeff  pointing at? (2006)

This was the best picture of this bunch. I especially love Jacob's expression. (2007) 

Our wedding 2009

 Love you all!

Birthday!

Yesterday was my birthday! And I honestly do not think I have ever been spoiled so much on one day in my life.  Jonathan took me out to breakfast at Subway.  Then I went and spent a couple hours with my friend Katherine and her babies! When I got home I was greeted by gifts from my husband.  Flowers, candy, earrings, crossword and Sudoku books, sunglasses, headbands and an thing that helps unclog the sink. He also rented Captain America for us to watch.  I went and got my hair cut.  I cut quite a few inches off.  Jonathan took me to dinner and we watched the movie.  I am pretty much the luckiest girl in the entire world.

Here is a picture of my new hair (and Emmaline too)

 

The Kiddos!

Here are a few pictures of my babies! They are beautiful, aren't they?

(Ok I am terrible at taking pictures, they really are not the best so I just picked a few good ones from each photo shoot I tried with my children.)

These are the kids getting ready for church

I tried to get a good picture of Emmaline, here are the best ones.

This one made me laugh!

Extra Photos!

Happy Anniversary!

Today is our Anniversary! 3 years... Its been great! 2 kids, 3 apartments, 2 cities, and almost 2 masters degrees later!
Jonathan got me:
- 2 new pillows for our bed
- new Brita filter
- wall charger for cell phone

I made him:

Thank you Pinterest

We have a Leaf's Fan in the house

Thanks to the Middletons- Bill, Marion, Eric, Sara and Laura...

Getting Ready for Church

Its A LOT harder getting two ready to go anywhere.  Church is really hard because I actually feel like I should do my hair and get ready.  This is Emmaline getting ready but the only thing she is wearing is a bow I made her.

Weekend at Grammy's

Emmaline and her Papa

Ian was afraid that Cami, the dog, would hurt him

Our little family spent the weekend at Grammy and Grampy's house.  It was so fun for our kids and everyone in the family was so glad they got to see and meet Emmaline.  Most of them had not met her yet!  It was a fabulous weekend (besides losing my phone in the dog water, Thanks Ian).
