The Fair 2012

We went to the Greater Gulf State Fair , monday, Oct 29,2012.
Thank God is wasnt very crowded . Im not a fan of big crowds so this made me enjoy it more.
This was the girls 2nd year to go! Last year Annaliese was only a couple weeks out and Avery was to small to really ride anything!
This year Avery had A BALL!!! All her cousins were there too , so she Loved it!
Annaliese loved the choc cover marshmellow and all the lights! =] Easy to please!
Avery surprised me how good she did on all the rides. She has been scared of the riding machines that you see outside of grocery stores that you put a quarter in, so I was thinking she would Hate riding the rides. But to my surprise she was a dare devil and wanted to ride everything and LOVED everything. Well everything but the bumper cars . lol She absolutely loved the BIG BIG Adult slide that she road with her daddy! She wanted to ride it again! She had the biggest smile on her face all the way down the slide. I was scared for her to ride it because it was so big. Me and Tara had just road it and I havent road any ride in a couple years, and I HATE heights. Well I walked up to the top looking at my feet the whole time trying to hold the mat and help Tara walk up this thing! By the time we got up to the top I was freaking out and Tara was calm! lol We sat down and I kept thinking to myself well I have to do it now theres no other way down! lol So down the slide we go and I think we got on the fastest one! lol Well by the time we get to the end i am shaking! lol So I was very concerned when my 2 year old wanted to ride this ride. But she had no fear and Loved it.

We grabbed a bite to eat and I was dissapointed with my corn dog that I had been looking forward to.
We played some games, and won some of those wonderful prizes they give away! lol
This year was so much fun with a kid that could play and ride! It was such a joy to see her have so much fun! She kept saying this is fun, i love the fair! =]
So this will be something we keep doing every year =]
When we loaded up the girls and Avery wanted to hold all the animals she said I had so much fun momma!
That and her smile was worth it all! =] Love my sweet girls!

Here are some pics of that night!

we had a blast! 

Always stay true to your heart and Follow your Dreams!

God Bless!

Sick babies =[

Well the past 2 days have been no fun for this mommy!
Annaliese woke up tuesday early (5am) and was running a 103 fever , well we Took her to the doctor later that day when they could fit us in, to find out that she has an ear infection and pink eye. Well later that night when we were laying down to go to sleep, Avery says my belly hurts....... throw up everywhere... she starts crying and saying I "spit"  I "spit".... so we cleaned everything up and we had showers. We were up and down with her all night long! Today (wed) Annaliese and Avery have been just not themselves and sluggish and wanting mommy to hold them! And of coarse Avery doenst want to share "her mommy" with her baby sister. Hurts me so much to see my babies sick, and only being able to do so much for them. So sad. Makes me just want to cry.
Well we were watching Averys new movie tonight "Lorax" and she was laughing and then all of a sudden says my belly hurts, I need to burp, I burp... and then throw up again! All over her blanket ( good think the other one she threw up on last night was washed and dried already)... so bath time... more laundry... Got her settled back down, Jake went to Winn Dixie to get her some pedilite, sprite, medicine, and brought her back some gold fish. Well she was sitting here eating her gold fish( which i fotgot to say that all she has had to eat today was some pop corn and a cool pop, she would say no Thank you , everytime I would offer her something to eat) So she was sitting here eating a couple gold fish and drinking some of the pedialite and boom ... I burp.... throw up all over the couch and her clean blaket.. (so now both of her blankets are dirty and both are in the washing machine) So my mom brings over the blanket that she has at her house (Avery has 3 of the same blanket ,, its her FAV... good thing when we noticed it was her fav and she didnt want any other one that we went back and bought 2 more) Wiped her face off.. good thing it didnt get all over her again like before. Gave her some meds and asked if she wanted a sprite. Well she already started acting like she was feeling better and started drinking the sprite and she was in such a good mood and acting normal. Looking so pail and you can still tell she doent feel good but some energy was coming back. So now we are watching Finding Nemo... or Memo as Avery calls him. And tryin to see how she will be before laying in bed.
Calling the doctor in the AM to get her an appointment ASAP tomorrow. I think that she caught it at the doc office when she was playing with the puzzles they had sitting in the room. That could be the only place. So this mommy is worn out and hurting for my babies! I keep praying over them all day. I know the Lord has his hand of protection over my girls and my family! He is the ultimate doctor and can heal anything! Keep my girls in your prayers! Will update in a couple days on how they are feeling!

Stay True to your heart & Always follow your Dreams!
God Bless!

Here is a pic of my sweet girl.. both smiling at the camera... a couple weeks ago.. when they weren't sick and were so happy! Love them so much and so glad that I get to be their mommy!

Summer flew by!

Summer has just went by so fast! Already time for my hubby to go back to school! Which means we wont be seeing him as much =( but so glad that he is finishing up and going to be graduating in MAY 2013! YAY! I told him the other day that this was his last fall starting back school. We are super excited for him to be finishing up his last year of school.

Avery Jade... is a fire cracker. She is def going through somethings lately. She will be the sweetest girl one minute and wanna pitch a fit the next. And she has started crossing her arms! These terrible two's are wearing this momma out. But she is so smart. She can spell her name, count to 10, say her ABC's.. she sings and dances all the time, she is just such a joy when she is in a good mood =] Her FAV movies right now are Mary Poppins( who she wants to watch everynight before bed) and Toy Story. She LOVES them! Her laugh is the sweetest thing in the world. Just to hear her laugh makes everything better =] Love my big girl so much! Oh and she got a big girl bed.. and if you ask her she will say "Yep just like Madeline" lol its sweet! Thats my niece and she LOVES her cousins so much! She has been doing pretty good in her bed.. sometimes she will get out and come in our bed in the middle of the night but in all she is doing great.

Annaliese Joy.. is almost 10 months old.. bring on the tears! lol My babies are just growing up way to fast!

My mom used to say that when we were little but then it seemed like it took forever to get to the next birthday.. now it seems like in the blink of an eye another year rolls around. Well, Annaliese is crawling all over the place. She army crawls super fast, but started to get on her knees and crawl friday night when we were at the camper at Presley's lake. She is pulling up on everything. And holding on to the couch she took a couple steps. REALLY? SLOW DOWN! She is so sweet and smiles all the time. oh and she doesnt want baby food at all anymore! All "people" food for her now. She only wants things she can pick up herself and eat. Love my baby girl. And her laugh is the sweetest thing. When my babies laugh it makes a bad day good! Love them so much!

Well we havent gotten to do anything on the land in the past month. It has been raining so much and havent had much extra time to go when it wasnt raining. Still thinking if we want to get a trailor and put it out there for a couple years until we save more money up and Jake gets an engineering job before we build our dream home! That way we can get exaclty what we want. 

I need some recipes please. Any of your Favs.. I wanna start trying 1 new recipe a week and I want some good ones! Now keep in mind that I am a VERY picky eater! lol Im pretty much a meat and potatoes kinda girl but Im wanting to try different recipes =] So please email me your FAV recipe =] heatherlewisphoto@yahoo.com 

We rearanged the living room and i Love it so much better this way. Way more roomer and spacious.

Will have to post a pic of it later!

Photography has been super slow this summer. It has been so hot and raining so much! Hopefully things will pick up during fall. Which is when alot of people like to take family photos to have for christmas cards and presents and such. Thank you to all my wonderful clients who have stayed with me and to all my new clients! I appreciate you so much! I hope you can see and feel the love and passion I have for photogaphy during you sessions and when you see your photos! God will provide and I have given my photography business, bills, everything up to him!

Fun in the rain!

As you can see they played in the rain and had so much fun! We were at my in laws and they decided to put the sprinkler out to let Avery play in it. She LOVED it. Her Pop took Annaliese out there and let her get in on the fun too! She didnt like it as much as Avery did, but the girls had fun! My hubby went out there having fun too and did cart wheels with Avery and just had a blast. It started raining but it didnt stop their fun! So sweet hearing the laughs of your babies! Love moments like this that are fun memories and of coarse you know I had to take pics (these were the pics of my mother in laws camera.. i havent gotten to upload mine yet! Dont they look like they are just having so much fun until we saw some lighting and time to go inside!=] 

Well thanks for listening! lol Hope the rest of your summer is great! Dont get to hot! Drink lots of water! =]

Stay True to your heart and Always follow your dreams!

God Bless

Well I tried a new recipe the other day! Something that I want to try and do everyweek! At least one day a week, try a new recipe! So here is week 1! Cheeseburger pie! I thought Jake and Avery would love this because of all the cheese in it. Both LOVE cheese. They liked it, but me(not so much a cheese lover) thought it was ok. Not my fav, but so glad that I tried something new. I didn't have everything that the recipe called for so I just used what I had. Ill give you my recipe I used! =]

Rainy day thoughts!

Sat.. June 9,2012.

Last night and all day today is has been storming at our little house in Tanner Williams!

Not just a light sprinkle but a down pour! So we have been stuck inside all day long!

Watching Tv, playing with the girls, looking at crazy weather pics on facebook of roads under water, and really bumming it out! We are on the go all the time it was nice to just bum it out today with the fam! My hubby was upset because we were supposed to go to our land today to try and clean more of the underbrush out but mother nature had another plan! So we have been stuck inside!  

Well let me just update on a couple new adventures we have =]

We bought 5 aches (well owner finiacing) but it is OURS!!! Its in Lucedale.MS right past stateline off tanner williams. Bout 15 min from where we live now behing my parents.We are super excited and feeling beyond blessed that these doors opened up and we have our own land! This is something we have been praying about now for prob a year , on what God wants us to do with getting a house , when, where,etc... and  some people we know bought some land out there and got a great deal on it... so we decided to ride out there and just check it out , we saw a forsale sign and feel in LOVE with the land ! Its covered in pretty trees and out in the country. (Nothing has been cleared off the land, so we get to pick what we want to stay and go). So we called the number and left a message. Monday morn Jake gets a call back and talks to the man about the land.. Comes home to tell me all about it and we just felt like the Lord has opened these doors and this was a great decision for our family. So we met him at the land to look over a little bit more and my parents came this time to give us their imput. They loved it and supported us 100% to get it. So he said think about it over memorial weekend and on tuesday get back with him! So we thought and prayed and yes this was for us! So tuesday at 4:30 we went and paid a deposit and signed for our 5 aches! =] We just kept smiling and I kept saying this is OUR land.. Its really OURS! =] So we went straight to the land with a SOLD sign.. of coarse if you know me I take pics of everything so we had to get some when we were signing the papers for the land and with the SOLD sign infront of our land! Avery says , my land in missippippi... lol its so CUTE! And she told my dad .. move to missippippi poppa... so you know he is already wanting to buy some land close to us! lol I love how my parents have such a close realtionship with me ,my husband, and my children! Its very important to have parents that love  and support you and your husband and love your children so much too. Very thankful for such wonderful parents =]

So I will keep posting on the progress of our land and hopefully we will start building a house May 2013.. We have been looking up floor plans =] 

Also In May 2012 is When jake graduates from USA!!! YAY!! Gonna be an excited year! Cant wait til he graduates, Im so proud of him! Being an Engineer Student, working, and being a dad & hubby is so much on his plate but he does everything with such a big heart and works so hard to make me and the girls happy! I couldnt ask for a better hubby or daddy for my babies! =] March 14.. was our anniversary.. 3 years... time is flying by.. I love him more and more and Love all of our new adventures that we get into!  He surprised me and took me to Destin for our anniversary! My parents kept the girls.. and we went and saw Barlow Girl...one of my favs.. It was so much fun to get away and have mommy daddy time , we missed the girls but it was much needed =] And I loved that he surprised me! I LOVE SURPRISES and he knows that and has been working on surpring me and that was just such a wonderful surprise and fun trip!  And on our anniversary day we went and ate at Felix's fish camp and ended up sitting in the same spot we sat in the year before! So much fun and it was yummy!

Annaliese will be 8 months old in 2 days and has 6... yes I said 6 teeth! She has been getting them so fast! Avery had like 2 teeth when she was 9 months old... lol Some ways they are alike and some they are so different. Annaliese has been sitting up now by herself and is trying to start crawling.. tear... she is growing up way to fast. Oh and she says DA DA DA DA and jibber jabbers all the time! So cute! When she wants to be picked up she turns her hands bending them at her wrist around and around and around! She is ALWAYS smiling! She is such a happy baby! I love it =]

Avery .. 25 months... prissy prissy! Tells us no mam go to your room if you doin that! lol I think she might have heard that from her daddy when she pitches fits! Yes she has started pitching fits... throwing herself on the ground pitching fits.. but she is getting better about if we say if you dont getup by 3 and dry it up you will get a whippin.. 1,2.... and shes up and wanting to love on you! Def important to love on your kids and talk to them calmly about what they have down wrong... Sometimes Im guilty of it too about yelling and getting frusterated with her.. but Ive been praying about how to handle her terrible 2's and Ive started looking her in the eye, getting at her level, and talking to her... It is working alot better than getting stressed and yelling.... She loves to come in the kitchen with me and help me cook.. and loves to get the broom and sweep! Please Lord let he still want to help mommy cook and clean when she gets old enough to have chores! She LOVES her Bay Bay sister so much! Its so sweet.. she wants to hold her and feed her a bottle(even though Annaliese can hold her own bottle now lol) its still so sweet! But if bay bay starts crying and Avery doesnt want to hear it , she says no bay bay(with her finger pointed at her) stop that... if you not stop you go to your room..... Def have to hold back the laughs and tell her no mam you dont be ugly to bay bay shes just a baby! Love her.. and then she kisses her and wants her to play with her on the floor! lol Love my girls so much! Time really does fly by way way way to fast!

But I'm loving the memories we are making!

This was Annaliese's 1st time riding in the front of the buggy outside her carseat...June 5th.. at one of our FAV stores... The Thrift Store =]

Avery loves to ride in the back of the buggy and hold on! lol Sweet girls , love them so much!

I forgot to mention that I turned 26 on May 31st... I was sad the other day cause im getting closer to 30 but then my hubby looked and he and said why are you sad? Look at everything wonderful in our lives and whats to come! And I was like you are so right! Im so blessed & Thankful! Love my Life and My wonderful Family! =] It was also my moms bday.. she was born on May 30th and I was her day late bday presents =] Love celebrating together! We do it every year and I wouldnt want it any other way!

Well thats it for now! Gonna go fold some clothes and put them all up! FUN FUN! lol

Have a great week!

Stay True to your Heart and Always Follow your Dreams!

God Bless!

Annaliese Joy's Dedication to the Lord!

May 6,2012 was the sunday that we dedicated our sweet baby girl Annaliese Joy to the Lord. It is important to us as christians and wanting to raise our children with Christ being 1st in your life. It was such a special day for you! Alot of our family and some close friends showed up to love and support us. We love our church (River Church of Mobile) and we feel more like family there than just another person. It's a wonderful feeling to have a loving church family who is praying for you, supporting you, loving you, comforting you, letting the holy spirit lead them .... Its awesome. The show so much love to my babies and it makes this mommas heart so happy! They were so awesome when my Avery was trying to make her transition into the nursery and she wasnt having it. They worked with her and now she loves "my church" and loves all the people. She looked at me friday and said "Momma go to church? church momma".. i thought that was awesome that she wants to go now and we have no problem leaving her in the nursery anymore. Just so thankful for my awesome church family =]
If you dont have a church home I def recommend coming to visit our church .. River Church of Mobile off Three Knotch Rd. Across from MObile Memorial Gardens,, We are in an little old white building... Sunday mornings service starts at 10am and wed night starts at 7... =] We welcome you with open arms =]

Back to the dedication =]
Annaliese wore a pretty cream and white smocked dress with a adorable bonnett hat.
All of her friends and family that came wore blue and green =]
The service was awesome and then we went up front to dedicate her.
Pator look her from me and she just kept looking at him. So sweetly. He prayed over her and over our family. It was so special .
I pray that we can be the best christians that we can be, strive to serve the Lord more and more... Be sensitive to the spirit... raise our children with christian beliefs and morals... dont let the everyday life get in the way of our christian walk .... I love you Lord. THank you for all your many blessings you have done and you will do in our family!

Well after dedication we went to the old Cock of the Walk .. its called the Catfish shack.. its ok...

here are are couple pics from the very special day =]

Here are a couple pics from her dedication day!

Stay True to your heart and Always Follow your Dreams!

God Bless,

Valentines 2012

Sunday, Feb 12.. was our Valetines Date Day that my parents kept the girls for us. Started off by going to church! I promise one day we WILL be on time! lol We try so hard to be on time but ends but being at least 5-10 min late! lol Harder with 2 kids than just getting your self ready and out the door! But anyways... so we have been working with trying to get Avery to stay in the nursary.. she has been doing so good but sunday, she wanted nothing to do with it unless me or Jake stayed in there with her. Tried to just bring her in service with us, but lets face it a 21 month old staying quiet in church for 2 hours... NO WAY! lol So Jake took her out first then I came out... I tried to leave her in the nursery again, but nope not having it! So i stayed with her in there holding Annaliese. So then when I was thinking service was about to be over I went ahead and walked out and glancing in the door of the santuary. They were getting prayed for. So we sat out in the foyer... as Avery ran around getting into everything I started getting stressed . She went into the kitchen and picked up glass cups and I chased her from here to there (IN HEALS... that I never wear and decided to wear them on that day), also did i mention I had a 14 pound baby in  my arms the hole time too! Well I just got so frustrated with her. She is in this stage where if we say no Avery dont do that... she just keeps on doing it! LORD HELP ME!!!! I love her so much but she stresses me out sometime! I know that she is testing us, and that she wont be like this forever! But I would love to sit through a whole message at church. Just pray that she will start staying in nursery the whole time and be good!!!!!

We left there and came home.... i was still not in a good mood ....

Well in this time the place that Jake was gonna surprise me and take me calls and says that they have canceled it because we were the only 2 signed up! It was a dinner cruise! How sweet was that , that he thought of that and made reservations... well that added to my upsetness that we wouldnt be able to do what he had planned and have nothing else planned for us to do.

well we ate lunch and my parents came and got the girls. took a couple pics out by my Valentines Set up, and headed out.

Went to Target 1st ... yes target on our V-day date! lol We had to get diapers and wipes! lol

Then headed to the movies! Well we wait in line for umm bout 25 min and of coarse we get in the "wrong line" and get the slowest girl ever.... well we get up to buy our tickets and guess what... yepp.. sold out! Well that added fuel to my already upset self.... And aggervated me headed straight to the car.

Jake being sweet through the whole thing while I complain complian... headed out just driving... well finally he said lets just go back and get a later viewing .. So we did... and thank God that it wasnt sold out then.

So he said we have an hour what do you want to do... seeing that I was still upset... from everything happening that day.... I said can we get pedicures.. he said you or me and you! lol I said both of us! So knowing my hubby hates massages and people touching him... he smiled and said yes babe we can. =]

So the place i normally goes to was closed because its sunday but the old place I use to go to was open. So we went and I started to calm down, and started to enjoy the day with my sweet husband who does everything in the world to make me happy and hates seeing me upset! Thank you Lord for this wonderful man who knows how to make me happy, make me feel better, and puts up with me when I get into my moods.... So we got our pedicures... so taking him to the place me and my dad normally go cause they are so much better and spend so much more time with you than the old place. But he said it was an experiance! lol

Left there and headed back to the movie theater.... got in line to get pop corn... then waited for our seating... we went and seen "The Vow"... wow what a movie.. I wont say anything about it, because if you havent seen it I dont want to ruin anything for you! But what A Love.... what a true true love! By the end of the movie and seeing everything that they had to go through, I had thought about everything about my "bad" day and realized it wasnt that bad. People go through such worst things than a movie being sold out, or a cruise being canceled, or a 21 month old running aroung getting into everything. Im so thankful for everything in my life and for the love of an amazing man. We went to O'charleys after the movie and it was good to just sit and talk with my husband about everything ! With school, work, and the girls its hard for us to find time for just us and to really just sit and talk. Im so glad we had this time. I love my husband more and more with every day that goes by!

So what started off as a "bad" day ended as a great one! So I learned that you really shouldnt sweat the small things, love your life and dont be worried about the people around you. Your family is the most important thing to you. Yes my daughter stresses me out , but I love her with all my heart! And when she says Loves you Momma and gives me a kiss and a big hug, it just melts my heart! Im thankful for healthy children that can run and get into things. I'm thankful for a hard working ,loving, amazing, God-fearing husband. God has blessed me , and I'm so thankful, more than words can say. We are on your path God, lead us and we will follow! Thank you Lord for your mercy and grace!

Today: Feb14.... I woke up to find heart shaped candy boxes everywhere in our house. On top of the tv, by the coffee pot, by the computer, in the microwave, in the washer and dryer, in the fridge, and in the bathroom... and it was the kind i like, the cheap ones with the cream filling! YUMM! Everytime I found a box it made me smile so big. I love that he took the time to think of this for me! He is really my one and only! My true love, best friend, and my soul mate! Also he had me Cadberry Eggs (MY FAV) sitting on the table surronding my card! Which was the sweetest thing! I cant say enough how much I love my husband! He gets me , in every possible way!

We gave the girls their presents when he got home from school.

Avery-- a veggie tales movie and a HUGE bear card =] that she Loved!!!

Annaliese got a little rattle toy cause she has started grabbing things..

Annaliese weights 14.1 lbs and 24 in long.

Avery weights 28lbs !

My girls are growing and getting so big! I wish it would slow down. I want to enjoy every minute of life with them.

Thats it for now! Thanks for listening =]

21 months old & 3 months old =]

Its crazy how much time flies... Last year on Valentines Day we found out that we were expecting Baby #2. What a wonderful Valentines Present that was! And now this year , we get to celebrate V-day with my hubby and 2 sweet girls. So much Fun =]

So glad that my girls are loving each other so much! I love that they will always have a friend in each other! I always wanted a sister , and I know that the bond that they have and that will continue to develop will get stronger and stronger! I love my girlie girls so much!

Hard to believe that Annaliese will be 4 months old sat. Time for real needs to slow down.

I love my little sweet baby so much! She is so sweet! Smiles and laughs so much and it just melts my heart.

She rolled over for the 1st time on Jan 27th... and has done it maybe 3 other times since then! She has discovered her hands and loves holding them. She has such strong legs, she loves to stand up on your legs with a little help supporting her. Some nights are worse than others and she will wake up like every hour or 2... other nights she might wake up 2 times all night. She is such a Joy to have around, that smile gets me everytime =]

Avery is 21 months old and will be 22 months on the 23rd , so she has a little while til then... but she has def hit the terrible 2's early! Lord , help me! I LOVE LOVE my big girl but these fits are driving me crazy! I said , what happened to my sweet girl? lol When she is sweet ,, she is the sweetest. But when she is pitching a fit, oh man.... she has def been getting some whippins. And i know what my parents ment by "It hurts me more than it will hurt you." Because it hurts my heart to have to whip her. But she will learn right from wrong and to not throw herself on the ground and scream!(ps- dont know where she learned that from, she has never seen anyone do it before)

I LOVE her Big Hugs that she gives now and will just hold on for a while and say "Loves you Momma"... AHHH Melts my heart!!!! She also puckers her lips now when she wants shuggies (kisses). LOVE =]

Jake has 2 more semesters after he finishes this one and he will be DONE with school! THANK YOU GOD! I just have to keep saying its not much longer,, its not much longer! We barely get to spend time with him cause he is either at school, at work, or doing homework til the wee hours of the night. I love when we can just sit and watch Tv together , and talk about our day! Thank you Lord for such an awesome , hard working husband.

We started going back to River Church (thats where we went right before and right when we got married) , not sure what took us away from there but we have made our way back . We fill thats where God wants us to be and we started the New Year off right back there on Jan 1. If you are looking for a home church that lets the holy spirit lead the service , awesome spirit filled worship and amazing people then you should come check us out. We are off of Three Knotch Rd across from Mobile Memorial Gardens. Sunday morning we start at 10 and Wed night we start at 7. =] We would love to have you come visit =]

Well thats it for now! Getting ready to go hang out with some friends =] Pray for our little family about some decisions we are thinking about and about our near future , and for everything to be in God's Will. =] 

Stay True to your heart and Always Follow your Dreams!

God Bless,

Bellingrath Gardens w/ the Fam

Be bights Be bights!! Avery was saying as we told her we were going to see lots of Chritmas Lights! She was excited! She loved looking at christmas light when we were riding down the road and loved having the christmas tree up! She must get that from her momma cause I still love love riding around looking at the lights and cant wait to put our christmas tree up every year!  =]

So glad that we went on a night that it wasnt cold, because I really didnt want to get the girls out in the cold.

We all went and ate a Cracker Berral ( one of my Favs) before heading out to Bellingrath.

It's so fun to go look at all the lights that they put out at bellingrath! So much hard work is put into it, So many details. And of coarse I always take lots of pics. It was a fun family night! And all the kids loved it.

So here are some pics from that Fun evening!

Stay True to your heart and Always Follow your Dreams!

God Bless,
