A little young for marriage!

So Annabella is a little obsessed with marriage these days! It started with an intrigue about weddings, why people get married and what they do at weddings... Then I over heard the Sunday school teacher tell Annabella "No Annabella, were not gonna pretend that you and Issac are married...just be friends!" haha....So then it began....since then her all time favorite movie ( I'm talking she wants to watch it every single morning) is Charlie and I's wedding dvd!! Her most favorite part is when I'm walking down the isle and she wants to watch it over and over again (talk about adorable!)
So here she is...the bride to be...at the ripe old age of 3 and a half! :)She now pleads with me to ask Jesus who her husband is going to be and what his name is! I think she thinks I have some special telekinetic connection with God and He just downloads oodles of information into only my head! ohh if only that were true! haha :) I keep telling her that only He knows and she will just have to be patient! I'm not sure she likes that answer, which is why she has made her brother Malachi her "fill-in" husband for the time being! haha

As you can see he is NOT near as excited about the idea as she is! haha

All this to say...she is growing up way too fast! Stay little Annabella!!! For me! :)

My amazing children!!!

So I decided since I haven't been blogging in awhile I might give a little overview of my kiddos and who they are today...cause Lord knows they are changing like every minute! :)

ANNABELLA....

Annabella..Oh what would life be like without her?? She is so posh yet soo dang crazy! She is such an anomaly! She will be in her tutu, dancing around like a ballerina, reminding us to clap after each leap, and then seconds later she will be running from Malachi (or should I say the fire breathing dragon) and trying to find a hiding place in "the cave in the forest"! I mean theres really no need to get this child a doll...any toy for that matter...she will make any couch into a wild world of mermaids and dragons...she will turn every object ( and im talking like safety pins) into small little babies that need to be saved from the roaring lions in her bedroom! Truly, she is her mothers daughter! :) She is passionate and headstrong....gentle and boisterous...shy and ridiculously loud...she is everything...and everything in between...you want an example...a picture is worth a thousand words!!!


As pretty as a princess....




As sassy as they come...



And as goofy as they get!!

IN CONCLUSION:
She is Annabella Joy...and she lives up to every part of her name
Anna-graceful
Bella-Beautiful
JOY!!!
She is my graceful, beautiful bundle of JOY!!!


MALACHI...
Oh Malachi! He is one of the most interesting and wonderful children in the whole world. Oh if I could just get into his almost 3 year old head, I feel like maybe just maybe I could figure some things out! He makes me laugh, and makes me cry all in the same hour! He's his own little person and I LOVE it and hate it at times! haha...but mainly love it!! :) Here are some pictures to give just a glimpse into the world of Malachi...


This is when he got into the chocolate while I was outside for like 10 seconds....haha..


What a little bean!!! :)



Malachi's feminine side! haha...I mean what do you expect, he has princess Annabella for his sister!!! :)

In conclusion:
I am INLOVE with this kid!!! :)



EZEKIEL...
Or should I say monkey boy! He is truly a sight to behold! He still refuses to walk (going on 16 months) but will climb up a counter like spider man! He's not really into the whole talking thing...he would much rather grunt to get his point across! The funny thing is, he's as sharp as tack...he would just rather not conform to..well anyone! He's kinda got his own agenda...he will snatch a cracker from a 4 year old, knowing good and well that the kid could literally destroy him, but somehow that doesn't phase him!

I talked to my friend on the phone (has same age
kids as mine) and she was telling me how she was getting her kid to sign and say "more"...so I got off the phone and was determined my child would sign "more"..heck my kid could sign anything! haha....so I preceded to show him the sign for "more"....
He just looked at me with those eyes that can read you like a book...and then threw his sippy across the room....hmm...I guess we'll try
tomorrow!

Here is just a tiny window into the world of Ezekiel...although don't expect to understand him...he likes it that way! :)



This is a common trend with him...I let him go outside, I turn my head for a few minutes and he is consuming sand, leaves, or twigs...im talking straight up putting them in his mouth, chewing, swallowing and grabbing for more! ahh!! What do you do with kid that would rather eat a shovel of sand than a lolly pop! :)


So this is Ezekiel trying to give a kiss! haha...Don't ask me why! Im telling you, he's got his own way of doing things! I do have to say though....it's pretty much the cutest thing ever! :)


he got ahold of an orange and as you can see...was just eating it like an apple or something! I had never seen anyone do that before and not spit it out immediately so I thought it must not be good...so I wouldn't let him eat it...i mean that cant taste good..right?! haha

IN CONCLUSION:
He makes me laugh 100 times a day...and makes me smile even more than that! :)

Fun times to see delightful people

Oh my goodness! I haven't blogged in forever! I guess I will just jump right in! :)

So we went on vacation a couple weeks ago...and got see my amazing family and our beautiful best friends Sami and Bekah and their precious little girl Elizabeth (can you tell I kinda like them...haha)
We had fun..I think..haha..it's one of those things that's supposed to be fun...theoretically. So then you just keep telling yourself, "oh wow, isnt this soo much fun. Yayyy!" while your really thinking "seriously! This is wayyy to much sticking work!" SO that's when we decided we just need to make alot of money so we can move everyone here and we can just be together every day!! Sounds good to me! Well until I can have my cake and eat it too, I will just reminisce about my lovely friends and family!!!



Yayy! Our favorite people!


So Annabella met her two new best friends on this trip too! :) She was just beside herself! Girls who ONLY wanted to wear tutus and dance around like ballerinas...she hit the jackpot!!!


It was soo funny, Charlie would spin them around and then put them in the water and Malachi would just starting walking straight into a wave because he would be soo dizzy...but of course he just couldn't get enough of being thrown around...what is that with kids! I mean, wouldn't you get nauseous after awhile!?!



My beautiful Annabella...bias?? maybe a little! :)


Sweet memories!
