I gave in...

SO since it is almost easter, and I have all the easter cards sent out....I have to use the bunny picture up on the blog!! I hope you all enjoy this picture, I have been holding it hostage all to myself, and am so happy to share with you all!!

I hope everyone has a happy & blessed easter, we wish we were spending it with family, but are VERY excited to be spending Easter at the Mall, it should be super fun, our church www.livinghopechurch.com has leased space in the old Mervyns ath the Vancouver Mall, there will be a large baptisim and amazing service, if you live in the area, please join us!!!

Meet Quinn....and then some :)

Unfortunatley, we had to give Walker & TR to a new loving home :( They were too big for the trailer, and now that Faith is moving and wanting to be on the floor, we decided that they needed someone who could give them more attention, and found a great family with 20 acres to take them. That being said, Josh cannot be without a dog, so in Vegas we got a new pup, she is a Chihuahua, and her name is Quinn :) She weighs about a pound and a half, we aren't for sure how old she is, but probably around 3 months!! She is crazy, but Faith LOVES her, and so do we!!! I am also pretty sure that Angelina was more sad to see her go than us...lol here is a couple pics of her!!

Also in Vegas, Josh had some work (tattoo wise) done on his arm! He is working tword a full sleve, and well on his way! He hasn't decided what he will do on his other arm yet, but added to his prevous tattoos he had he added a water lily and japanese cherry blossoms!! Jesse, who did that tattoo is the son of one of Josh's good friends who passed in a motor cycle accident last year, the person who hit him was drinking and driving, and is now on the run, so please keep his family in your prayers so this man will be brought to justice, it is very difficult for his family right now.

Vegas...

I thought WOW 5 days in Vegas, what are we going to do, we will be able to get SO much done!!! NOT so much, it went by so fast!! I feel like we didn't get anything done, but oh well, we had an amazing time, and got to relax, and sit in the hot tub...PERFECT!

Faith, on the other hand, didn't enjoy it so much!! She wasn't the precious little baby she usually is. She was very crabby, and didn't want anyone to hold her except me...ohh well, she did alright! She LOVED Angelina, like always, and Angelina loved her too, she is a GREAT big cousin!!

MOVING on...

SO I am officially convinced Faith will NEVER crawl! Ever since she learned to sit up she refuses even more to be on her tummy, and now she has started to pull herself up!!! I swear I am not kidding, my (almost) 8 month old pulls up and stands!!! Where has time gone?!?! I can't believe we are going to skip this crawling stage!!! It makes me sad, and kind of proud too!! I've noticed her the last couple days trying to push up while sitting on the floor with her ball, then I sat on the ground with her, and she pulled up on me!!!! I was shocked, then I put her up next to Josh and she just stood there, so happy & proud of herself, it was ADORABLE!!

Some pictures for you......

Daddy Daycare....

I have started "working" a few hours a week, here in the RV Park office, and I am LOVING it! I am working in the evening, so Josh is usually home to watch Faith, and I'll admit they come hang with me a little too. It is the perfect "job", and instead of getting paid, I get money off our rent, could it get any better, I think NOT, and if for some reason Josh has to work late, I can bring Faith over with me!! On Monday Josh was home with Faith & well she was super fussy so he couldn't come hang out, so Josh put on her baby einstens movie and came in the other room to make a snack and when he went back to our room...this is what he found:

Good job daddy!!!!!

Sneak peek of family photos!!

We had a mini family photo session, due to rain, we will finish this weekend! I am so happy with the few I have seen so far, Erin is an amazing photographer, so lucky to have meet her!!! Check out her amazing work & creativity here is her website: www.erintolephotography.com Here is a little preview, ENJOY, I know I did!!!

First sickness & Visitors...perfect :(

Of course, when we have visitors, Faith gets sick!! She was sooo miserable and crabby all weekend! It started on Friday afternoon, she had a slight fever, which I atributed to teething, gave her some tylenol...and we moved on with our day! Woke up Saturday, had a little fever again, we had a busy day with Roxanne & family, went to the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry, then we went to a launching of one of the barges that Josh had been working on, Faith was crabby, but nothing too serious. THEN went to dinner, and she was MISERABLE, had a super high fever, luckily I carry Tylenol with me, so we barley made it through dinner, came home, checked her temp & it wasn't too bad, got her to bed, and snuggled it...then 1 am rolled around, and her fever was up to 102.5 :( needless to say we were up for a few hours with her, monitoring her fever & trying to make her happy! Sunday she was crabby, I kept her on tylenol all day so she never really got a fever, then Monday was basically the same, until Josh gave her a bath, and we noticed she had a huge rash! Tuesday morning the rash was way worse, so I called the doctor & we went in Tuesday afternoon! To my dismay he was very happy to see the rash (I was not)!!! He told us it was Roseola, which the rash means we are on the home stretch!!

I am so thankful it wasn't anything more serious. I am pretty sure Faith cried more this weekend than she has done her entire life. NOTHING made her happy, not even me :( I was really scared all day yesterday, I though for sure there was something seriously wrong with her! She seems to be MUCH better today, so thank you everyone for the thoughts & prayers from my Facebook status'! You are all much appriceated, I'm actually glad she wasn't that bad because of teething, because I don't think we could do that for every tooth!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend, I look forward to posting something positive for my next post!!
