Annie Overload

Okay so these are just some of her 9 month pictures my computer is acting up so I can only post these. Once, again these pictures turned out great, the only down fall the Target that I have been going to since Rossi was 3 months old is closing and they are not opening a new photo place at the one they are building down the street. That makes me so sad because they do such great work for not a whole lot of money. Anyway, these are some of my favorites. I think the reason we got so many nice pictures is because her big brother was on hand to help out. He also joined in on some of the pictures but I cannot upload them right now. That was a sight because he had no shoes or socks on, a messy shirt and messy hair. They are cute but I was not ready to buy them.

A little bit of Annie

Here she is trying to drink from daddy's pop glass. By the way we would never actually let her drink the pop. I am so inlove with her sweet little face.

She loves sticking out her tongue.

Okay, so Ross thought this was mean but I have pictures of Rossi at the same age doing the same thing.

Don't you love it when they fight sleeping?

That is my girl, she loved the chocolate pancakes.

She is now pulling to stand and is now trying to stand in the middle of the floor. She is a mover which I am sure is normal, it is just hard for me since Rossi didn't walk until he was almost 17 months old.

Self-feeding is always a treat.

Just a cute dress that my mom got her. At first I was unsure of it but I think she was too cute.

The last four pictures are some of her many faces that I adore.

I cannot believe that I was ever nervous about having a girl. I am so in love with this little girl.

Its Official

Its Official I am a garbage digger or dumpster diver, I saw this frame and it was screaming my name to save it from a life in the landfill. So, after picking Jacob up from school I jumped out of my van to its rescue. At the end of my hall I had this iron hanging and just thought the frame gave it a different look. So, you tell me how does it look because Ross wont say anything, I think he is embarrassed that I took it out of someones trash.

Heritage

So, here is question for you all, Do you believe that you Heritage has anything to do with the way you are now? I remember I had to do a project like this in college and I found out that I am very German. They say Germans tend to be bullheaded, outspoken, hardworking, CHEAP, and family oriented. I would have to say after the battle I had with my brother in-law this weekend over an outdated baby carrier, it was obvious that we were both stubborn Germans. This argument got so heated that his poor wife had to step in. I guess I just have been thinking about this a lot because Ross has no German in him and he is the opposite of me along with the rest of his family. I just find it amazing that we found each other and we are so right for each other. Another note that I find humorous is that all of Ross' siblings married people from German backgrounds, I think, I will have to hear from Lindsay on that. Anyway, I am just rambling on but just wondering if anyone else thinks that their ancestry has formed whom they have become.

a little bit of everything

Okay so January was way busier than I thought it would be, maybe I am just trying to keep myself busy so I don't have to come to terms with the new president. Anyway, I have been enjoying the snow but I am more than ready for a warm up since my street is a skating rink. So here are some pictures from the busy month: Annie Just being Annie, I may have posted this one before so sorry if I did.

The snow we got last week, I was not going out in it so I brought it in. Rossi enjoyed building a snowman and painting it.

This is a blind from our Patio door. He made a ramp for his cars. He is so handy.

Eating the snow, I had to make sure he didn't get any yellow.

Pool Party last week. I was desperate to keep this guys entertained so why not pull out the old swim trunks?

Rossi has always loved the snow, he is just like his mommy. I use to live in the snow maybe it was because of my parents sledding hill.

I was playing with the settings on the camera and got this shot of little miss. She is now pulling herself up to her knees. She is one busy little girl.

For some reason the boys love having "parties" in the bathroom and I am never invited. The good thing is Rossi soaks the floor enough in the week that I don't ever have to worry about it being dirty.

Gentle GIANT

Okay, so a lot of people say that Dobermans are very Gentle. Maybe someone should have told Baxter that, Reese has been in a cast for the past two weeks because Baxter rolled over top of him crushing his back leg. With the amount of money we have poured into this little guy, I could have had another Bulldog. That is okay though because Reese has the sweetest face. He is do to get it off next week, I cant wait since the cast drags through all his potty and it stinks.
