HJ & SG Bike & Ball

Back on the Saddle

Well...I am back. I will really try to be more reliable in the blogging since. We have had a wonderful couple of months. The girls are growing so fast...I try to cherish every moment. One night in November while the girls were taking their bath, Sadie decided to show off. She apparently knew eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, hair and how to point to them but had never show us till then. In the middle of the bath she proceeded to stand up and point them all out to us perfectly. We were sooo surprised. This girl doesn't miss a beat!

Sadie went from speaking Chinese on the last video to speaking 1 word at a time very clearly. Some of the words she says all the time are: Hannah (Hanie which sometimes sounds like hiney :), Daddy, Mommy, Sadie, paci, kiss, hi,night night, please, thank you, bye, Papa, Grandmere (sounds like crownbear), Sugar, stop, no, gigi, movie (sounds like fooey), juice, drink, crackers, cookies (which sounds like carkeys),carseat, yes (which sounds like ash :) ), and love you (which sounds like luuvu). She is so sweet. Loves to kiss and hug and cuddle.

Recently....Sadie decided to go from 1 word at a time to sentences. She says things like... I don't know, where did it go, I don't want any, dance movie?, I help you, stop it, color it? and many more I don't remember at the moment.

Hannah is busy, busy! She is a great helper and a fabulous big sister. She is very sensitive to how others are feeling and including them. She will be a great friend and mommy!

For Jake's birthday, I got him a flight with Hannah. They just flew to Houston and back. I think 3 hours was the grand total of time they were gone. Hannah is obssessed with planes and is always asking when she was going to get to go on a plane. So....her dream came true...she was sooo excited and they made a great memory. Jake said she giggled while the plane was taking off and was just completely thrilled! How fun....


Blogger is doing something weird with the photos....so they are all at the top with no captions... We do more later!

Have a wonderful week!

Life with HJ & SG

This is a video that I (Daddy) shot while Mommy was sleeping. This is a good example of what Life with our two Cherubs are like. Non-stop fun (& talking)! [The film guy & editing guy are still perfecting their craft. Video editing done quite late at night, please excuse any typos or errors.] More to come

Fall Fun Video

I obviously have alot to say but have not yet made the time to sit down and put it all down! But....to hold you over....here is a cute video Jacob made to send out to family.

Warning: Jack is a masterpiece to us and probably us only. Art experts....please sit down :) Enjoy!





Hmmm....not sure what you do with a boy on pumpkins! You probably lay off the glitter and more cammo?!! Who knows?? I guess we will wait and see if even have a boy (in the future) For now we are content with glitter, feathers, and all things girly! :)

Have a wonderful week!

GO VOTE!!!

This is great!

A friend of mine sent me this by email recently! I loved it! And yes I cried.....take the time to watch it!





I promise I will blog again this week......about the girls!

A Little Ridiculous!

Yes...it is going on 2 months since the last post. Life has been busy....really busy! We are all fantastic! Sadie is walking....almost running....wow!! Hannah is so much fun....her new favorite song is...."This is the day, this is the day, that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made....." She sings it over and over and over....precious! Jake is amazing & I am so blessed to be married to a winner!

I am great too! I look forward to fleshing this last few months out a little more later...but wanted to show you that we are present and accounted for :)!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Oh.....I almost forgot......

Jacob's sister Bekah got married to Daniel on Tuesday! Yep Tuesday! I think they were officially engaged for 5 days! Crazy kids.. :) We are excited for them and look forward to getting to know "Uncle Daniel" more! Congratulations Rebekah and Daniel! We look forward to seeing some pictures soon!

And....my new niece Lexi...joined us on Wednesday! She is absolutely beautiful....from the pictures anyway! I have not seen her yet...but soon very soon! Welcome Lexi! We have been looking forward to meeting you! Poor Lincoln is the lone boy in the group currently. Don't worry...he is very much a BOY!! And he loves his girls too! Congratulations Melanie and Scott!

My princess who was hamming it up for the camera! She is finally realizing that the camera is not going to go away....might as well smile at it!! :) Way to go Sadie!

It was a little challenging to get them all to look pleasant at the same time :)


I did not take the rest of these! These fantastic shots were taken by Brian Shofner! He did a wonderful job...especially when the subjects were not that cooperative!! Thanks Brian....these are just a few of many many favorites! Enjoy!

She looks like Jacob's mom here! Something about the expression!

I just love, love this one! So sweet!

I can not believe how big she is! She is so smart....oh and remembers everything! She also has a tender heart and loves everyone! She is such a blessing!

Wouldn't smile but beautiful none the less!

Great picture except for the bribe/cookie hanging halfway out of her mouth! Can we just say sauna! We were all sweating....tons!

I think she is beautiful even crying! She has a very distinct and dramatic cry! Makes me smile every time! Weird huh!

I love these kind of shots! Maybe I should have thought of it before Hannah splashed in the puddle and then sat in mud!!



Seriously Brian, isn't 400 pictures of me enough?? :) Mommy already does this to me at home and now you too???!!!

Attempted a family shot at the end...we are all dripping in sweat! Pretty cute anyway! Thank you Brian!!

Have a wonderful weekend!
