Samantha's First Movie!

Today I took Samantha to see her very first movie at a movie theater! We saw "UP" with friends Scott, Andrea, Jakey and Abi. Unfortunately, Daddy and Tessa stayed home! Samantha was in awe of the big movie screen and loved her popcorn, skittles and kit-kat that Mommy got for her! Hey, it was her first movie experience, so we went all out!! The movie was cute but I think Samantha was a little bored with it. She became a little restless at times but all in all did a great job! When we arrived home, we found Daddy taking Tessa for her first ride in our little pink push car. She looked so cute in it and was having a great time!

On our way to her first movie, UP!


About to buy our tickets!

Hi guys!!

Tessa Rolls Over!

Tessa rolled over from her back to her tummy! The first time she did it was in the evening on May 27th while Mommy was on the phone with a friend. I looked away for a few seconds and when I looked at her again she was ON HER TUMMY! I was so excited! These two videos were taken the next morning, on May 28th, 2009. Go Tessa, go!

Tessa Sits... momentarily!!

Tessa sat on her own... but just for a few moments!

Sisters!

LOVE THEM!!

Our 9th Anniversary

Today Jason and I celebrated 9 years of marriage! We can't believe it's been 9 years since our awesome wedding! Our lives have changed SO much over the past 9 years, but we wouldn't have it any other way. On our wedding video, Jason and I are talking to the camera at one point saying "Hello" to our future children... and now we have them! We had no idea how blessed we would be back then, but we know now. We had a wonderful anniversary going to an Angels game and having a delicious Italian sausage with sweet red onions. Hey, it may have been a cheap dinner, but it was exactly what we wanted!

Food Time for Tessa!

This morning we gave Tessa her first bowl of rice cereal. She really wasn't quite sure what to do with it! It kind of just sat in her mouth until she finally figured out to swallow it! Samantha was also in on the act! She loved helping Tessa!

Open up baby...


Here it comes...


Open wide!


What the heck is THIS!?




And now it begins to leak out of the mouth!


Big bite honey!


Sisters!


They love each other so much!


Shower time!


Sisterly love!


Our two beautiful blessings!
