Another one on the way!!

I just glanced at the last few posts and realized that last I posted about the girls, D was only 3 months old. Now she is 14 months old and everywhere. We are 3 months away from having baby #3 with a twist since they are getting a Brother. Felicity Couldn't be happier since that is what she asked for and Danarra has no idea what is coming!

Our curly headed Danarra is into everything and loves Books-she brings them to anyone she thinks might know how to read them to her, Stuffed animals and dolls- she'll grin and give them big hugs- often she categorizes smalled children in this group as well and Mommy has to save the other child from smothering or being knocked over!

Beautiful energetic Felicity has started Joy School (Mommy and two other ladies are the teachers). She is proud of all her pictures and loves to tell everyone about her school. She is a big girl!!!

Mommy is teaching Joy school next week for the first time and is a bit nervous- probably should just make sure she reads and prepares her lessons. It is also a challenge to be prepared for a new little one but I can't wait until he comes- December 18 is the due date and we'll be thrilled to meet him!

Cooking Up Fun

Felicity Loves to "halp kook"(help cook). She is enjoys bringing a dining room chair over and climbing up so that she can see what is happening on the counter and asking Mommy if she can help cook. Stirring is very fun and so is washing dishes, both projects get quite messy with her help! She is so cute about helping her momma that I just have her help clean up the mess as well! This picture is of her helping to make bread sometime in December. She loves to eat good home cooked bread. Momma is getting better at her once over glances and grabs the knives before Felicity gets all the way up! Every time she approaches the stove she'll holds her hand back and will say "hot, Hot?" just to check about where she can put her hands. I really encourage her caution. Thankfully she is and always has been quite analytical and seems to think through an action before doing it. I am so grateful for this and am worried that this next child is going to be the complete opposite and go charging into anything and everything!
This is of Momma and Felicity in our chef's uniforms! A friend of mine bought this darling outfit for Felicity and it is quite a favorite! She has it in her play kitchen's cupboard and pulls it out from time to time to help Momma or just do some cooking on her own! Momma is in the Culinary Arts program at University of Alaska Anchorage and is working hard to get her associates degree by December!

I have arrived!!

Ok, I have finally joined the online world. Now Everyone can know me and I can post any random thought or greatness and foist it on the unassuming public. So, here I am!
I am 24 years old. Married to the most wonderful man in the world, Ben. For all those realists, Yes he is wonderful, usually, and he is perfect for ME. Which is really all you can expect from a guy, seeing as I'm not perfect either. We have an amazing two year old daughter, Felicity, and she will be joined in mid July by a new sibling. I am going to school for a culinary degree and should be done in December if all goes well. Ben is completing his Management Information Systems(MIS)(computer stuff) degree this May.
So with school, family, church, and home, I keep quite busy! Felicity keeps me running and her daddy tries to keep me sane. Both of our families live in town which is very nice and can be a bit of a challenge, all at the same time. We love living in Alaska, and that is saying something if you can say that in the middle of the winter when it is -4 degrees F outside. It is a wonderful place to live and raise a family. It is incomparable in its beauty and opportunity to be and do outside.
