Pretty in Pink

....and red. Finally, got Angel into JCPenney (we have a membership and pictures end up SO CHEAP) for her three year birthday pics. We got some adorable shots....always hard to pick which ones I want...only so much room for all of our pictures!! Nothing like bribing with some tic-tacs and the promise of a pretzel and smoothie at the mall afterwards to bring out the smiles and patience! Thanks to my sister Caitlin for coming and helping with Emma and the girls while I made all the decisions!!! Here is the link to view all: (the first ones are all the enhanced pics), customer name is ERIN HARTSELL, enjoy! I am posting some of our favs!!

CONGRATS

Congratulations to my sister Caitlin who got hired on as the new PE Teacher for Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic School....work them hard sis!!!

Also congrats to my sister Alli who will be playing the role of Beth in the CSTOCK Production of Little Women....so excited for you!!

BOYS

My pregnancy prayer list keeps growing (seen on sidebar) and the news of more BABY BOYS keeps growing too....at least my little girl will have a lot of potential wonderful husbands to choose from!!!

Small Successes (vol. 3)

FaithButton

1) Found hubby and myself a swimsuit (both on SALE) so that we are ready to swim at the hotel pool this weekend on our little getaway with the girls. Headed to Port Townsend and then to the Lavender Festival in Sequim and hope to get to the Olympic Game Farm as well. I ended up not doing a maternity suit (NO maternity clothes at all seem to fit me this time at all) but went with a skirted bigger size suit so the belly has room to grow!

2) Called I think every Motherhood Maternity or Destination Motherhood store in WA, VA, FL and NYC (all places where I had people that could pick it up if needed) desperately trying to find these brown gauchos for my sisters wedding to go with the top we found!! Online they did not have my size....but I found one in a warehouse in Lakewood and one at a store in NYC...both sizes on sale for $14 and FREE shipping. SO hoping they arrive this week and we shall see if one fits!! Keep your fingers crossed...then all I have to is find shoes!!!


3) We got our pre-qualification construction loan approval DONE!! Now all the decisions and number crunching etc to make an offer on the property and get our loan approval and start hopefully making a home for ourselves.....PRAY hard for us and that all goes well! We will keep you posted. Exciting but terrifying at the same time...going to rely on my dad for a lot of help and advice!! Will just have to remember that we might just have to build the basics to stay in budget and over time change things to how we would really like them...just like any other house!
