How to Get Arrested at a Wedding Party

Matthew 22:1-14

This is what we talked about at church today.

Dr. Moore's has some very creative sermon titles, don't ya think?

New Photos and a Video

Here are two smiley pictures of Drew that I just had to upload.

Look at this cute face!! You can tell his hair is getting lighter (and thinner).

This is a video of Hannah coloring...

Andrew is 4 Months Old!

Wow! My baby boy turned 4 months this week. He had his doctor's appointment and did great. He didn't even cry during his first shot! So brave! He is sleeping great and I am really enjoying watching him be more alert. He is also noticing toys and is trying to reach and grab them. He has had success a few times and the item has gone straight in his mouth! Andrew has also started drooling - A LOT. I don't know if teeth are right around the corner?

Hannah is saying more and more and more every single day. She is learning how to ask for things instead of just saying "please" about 20 times in a row until we figure out what she wants. Hannah also is becoming more aware of her diaper and when it needs to be changed. When she feels it is too wet she tells me! Maybe potty training is right around the corner too?

Josh has a few more weeks left in the school year and I just can't WAIT for it to be over. I know he can't either. Only 2 papers and 2 finals left. YEAH!

I am enjoying my new chocolate business! It is SO yummy. =) I have tried to work out more so I can eat more chocolate. So far it is working. Business is going well and I am hoping to get more parties on the books for December. There are so AWESOME hostess specials for December!!

Lastly, we are all excited that the Gators won again this week! Last week when FL played Vandy, Josh and I got to go to the game and my Aunt Sharon watched the kiddos for me. It was great (and super cold). We got to see Mr. and Mrs. Tebow which was nice too.

I think that is all the news for now. More stuff and pictures to come...

My Birthday Pictures!

As Josh told me on my birthday, I am "over the hill"... 26!! Not quite over the hill, but almost. =)
Sorry for the delay in uploading my pictures. I sat down to do it either Friday night or Saturday morning and our internet (which has been on and off over the past week) wasn't working and then I didn't have time to try and fix it AND do the pictures. So anyways, pray for our internet!
Here are some pictures of the events of the past few days...

My cute little pumpkin girl! She is holding the "Hannah Montana" singing birthday card she got me.

Happy Birthday to me!

My oh so yummy birthday cake from Homemade Ice Cream and pie kitchen!!

My little pumpkin boy! (with the undressed Chick-fil-a cow) Hannah loves giving Andrew this cow to hold.

SMILEY! SO CUTE. (just look at that belly on Andrew!)



Hannah and Daddy at the table at Red Robin where we went to eat for my birthday.

Me and Andrew on the other side of the table.

Trick or treat! I'm so cute! Give me candy!

At the end of a long and fun family day Hannah was ready to sit down and enjoy her candy. She is eating smarties in this picture... You are probably wondering why my pumpkin is wearing a bow. Pumpkins don't wear bows! So, I have to note that her cute pumpkin outfit did come with an oh-so-cute pumpkin hat with stem on top but Hannah did NOT want to wear this. SO, I made a bow instead.

New Pictures

My Grandma Lesta came for a visit. Here are a few pictures. Also, Chick-fil-A had a Super Hero and Princess Night that we went to. Wade was the cow, Hannah was a princess, and Andrew was a super hero, although, I am still not sure what kind!

New Pictures - LOTS OF THEM!

So I have been lazy the past two weeks in uploading pictures for our family far far away and now they will be happy with me again because I have uploaded all these wonderfully cute pictures. Enjoy!

Here is Andrew's first three month picture. Isn't that face so sweet! I wanted to get a full body shot so you could see how big he was, but I was only going to get the package deal (one pose only) and so I had to get this super cute head shot.

Here is me attempting one of the cute poses that was done at the studio... it didn't really work and Andrew looks like a deer in the headlights... =)

Andrew is now big enough for the baby einstein. Hannah is enjoying it more than him right now.

Here is a cute smile for mommy...

This is one of Hannah's new favorite things to do. Strap herself into her highchair. (she also likes doing her carseat too but isn't as good at it. She will strap herself in, ask me to unstrap her so she can do it all over again. I think she did this for almost an hour the other day while I was cleaning the kitchen!!

I LOVE this smile! Now when we get the camera out Hannah says "CHEESE". She is even smiling big enough you can see all her little teeth.

Hannah's other fun thing to do is color. I wish I could write it how she says "color" because it is so cute. She will color a mark or two, gasp and say, "pretty!" and then color some more.

Thank you to Grandma and Great Grandma Dot who bought Hannah this giggling baby and carrier. She carries it all over the house. One of these days I will let her take it with her to Target and I can carry Drew and Hannah can carry her baby. Won't people think we are too cute!

And she's off again!

A rest...

...and lastly...

Where's Hannah?

There she is!!

I am a Chocolatier!

"So, Joanna, what do you do?"
"I am a Stay-at-home Mom and also a Chocolatier."
Doesn't that sound cool?

I became a Chocolatier with Dove Chocolate Discoveries this week and am SO excited to get my chocolate and supplies in the mail.

An Update

Andrew is now 3 months old! I have enjoyed this past month as Andrew has started sleeping through the night (hooray!), and become more of a happy social baby boy. His face lights up and he gives me the biggest smile when I go in and see him in the morning. He loves snuggling with me and he loves the attention of his big sister Hannah. No doctor visit or shots this month, but at 4 months he will go back again to the doctor.
In case some of you blog readers don't have facebook or haven't caught the latest pics I posted. My brother, Wade, has earned job of Chick-fil-A cow! He came to visit and we took pictures. Enjoy!

Me and Andrew and Wade. I mean, the cow.

All four of us. (notice on Hannah is hanging onto me for dear life, like I am going to let this "random cow" get her or somthing...)

Hannah enjoyed Uncle Wade much better after he took off the suit. She still was leery of this giant cow head sitting on our living room floor.

And here is my sweet baby boy. I just love his cute little face and smile! Oh and those big blue eyes that make my heart melt! And he's a Gator fan!! (but not that he really has a choice)
