New Family Photos

Our new family photo. This will be hanging over our fireplace soon. I just love it. It was a lot of work getting this picture taken. There was always one of us who wasn't smile and we finally got this one. Savannah just asked me,"Mom are you 59?" I said NOOOOO, am 27. She's too funny!

My sweet girls!! I feel so blessed to have my children. I love them more and more everyday. Thank you Lord for allowing me to be their mother. It's a wonderful gift.

Just look at Kynnedi! She's getting so big. This is her 5 year old picture. I just love these dresses and I think they looked so cute in them. Kynnedi is a wonderful big sister!!!

My sweet Savannah girl. I can't believe this is her 4 year old picture. We worked really hard on her smile tonight and she did a wonderful job. She's so special to our family. Olivia didn't get an individual picture taken this time. When we go back in December for Christmas pictures she'll be turning 2. She was a trooper through all of this. Yea!!

Big Girl on her Bike

Olivia Leigh on Savannah's bike. She can't go any where on the bike, but it's still so fun for her. Olivia is 22 months old and doing great.

Olivia thinks she's so big! Just look at her on that bike. That's Savannah's bike she's trying to ride. Time flies by so quickly, I can't believe my baby is going to be 2 years in December. I know it's not here yet, but my baby is 22 months old. I love her so much and can't believe she's my last baby. Our season of life is changing and I'm realizing our baby time is almost over. Olivia will move into a big girl bed in January and hopefully soon we'll be potty training. No more changing diapers and baby beds. Ohhh, now I'm getting sad. We had a great day today. Our friends Micah and Joni came over tonight for dinner and we had such a wonderful time. A large group of our young adults from church came over tonight to watch the Office and it was so much fun. We laughed and laughed. It was so much fun!

Baby Vick Baby Shower

My besties in all the world. These are my sweet friends I grew up with in church youth group. We laughed so hard and are true blue friends. There's something so special about this group of people. They're not just my friends, but my family. Travis and Ryan are like my brothers and I truly pray for the best for them. It's been so amazing watching them turn into Men after God's own heart. They were both such a huge part of my life when I needed advice and encouragement. Katie and Joy are the sweetest women and both love the Lord so much. Travis and Katie are going to be such wonderful parents. Andrew get ready! They're going to teach you so much.

A close up picture of the four week old baby Andrew. I love all his hair!! I walked into the baby shower and saw him. My heart just skipped a beat because I just LOVE babies. I wanted to take him home with me. Andrew Vick your are precious!! Baby Andrew this is my prayer for you, sweet boy : "Lord, I thank you for such a health young boy. I pray so many things over him right now, but the two most important things are these. I pray Andrew you'll surrender everything over to the Lord at a very young age. I pray you'll want to hear His voice in every decision you make and then obey Him. Secondly, I pray for the Lord to pursue you with a great hunger and Andrew for you to also hunger after the Lord. May you everyday be in His presence and be open to learn and experience new things. I also pray for your wife. May she be a woman after Proverbs 31. May she encourage and daily direct you back to the Lord. Lord, protect and keep him safe all the days of his life. Thank you for such a special blessing." I love you Andrew Phillip Vick!

The shower was so much fun. It was like being home to me, getting to hang out with them. Travis and Katie are two people who love the Lord with all their hearts and want to encourage everyone else in that direction. They both are just a blessing to my life. Plus, look at their new baby. Isn't he just the cutest thing?

My sweetest friends, Travis and Katie Vick, and their new baby Andrew. Andrew is so precious and was showered with so many wonderful gifts. We love you guys.

During the Day Activities

I just love this blogging thing we do because I can look back and remember all the fun things we've done. I always wanted to do scrap booking, but never had the time to invest in it. This kind of reminds me of that, but so much easier. I wanted to blog some of the great things the girls did during the days this week. We made cupcakes together because they start with the letter C. The girls and I had so much fun baking. Kynnedi and Savannah loved licking the spoons and bowls. It reminded me of when my sister and I use to cook together when we were little. Olivia just played and wanted to eat one when they were done. I'm loving getting to teach them all these new and great things. This week is the letter D and numbers up to 20. Look out for dinsours, dolls, doll houses, dogs, and donuts!! These cupcakes were so yummy!!!

My sweet Savannah made her bed all by herself yesterday. I was so proud of her. It's fun to see how a three year old thinks a bed should be made.

Savannah was so proud she made her bed all by HERSELF. Yea!!! This isn't her comforter. Hers was in the dryer after being washed for germs. Yuck!! This was actually my old comforter from college. I loved it so much then. memories.....

Help!!!

Help!! I'm trying to plan our family picture for Friday night. The older girls are wearing these dresses, but Olivia is having a wardrobe issue. I don't know what to have her wear!! Tim and I are wearing black shirts. I was wanting to put the girls in some what matching outfits. Anyone have any ideas for me please share them. Heather, let me know what you think. Thank you so much.

Heather, here's the leopard print on the dresses. Do you think you have ribbon to make a bow for Olivia and maybe K and S? Should K and S just wear black bows????

Here's a close up view of the outfits? What do you think? do they go together?

The outfits! Do they work together? I don't know

Olivia's dress for her individual picture. What should I do for a bow?

Fall Fun

Fall is official here at the Ward house. We had a wonderful day of fall activities. We first went to Chick-fil-a where they were having a carnival for the kids. They got their faces painted and some balloon animals. Next we went to a nursery, Calloway's, where they had so many great things. The girls got to paint pumpkins, make slime, leaf prints, see a Mad Scientist, and go to a pumpkin patch. One of the best parts was everything we did today was free. It was amazing to have a sweet family day and not spend any money. Beware there's a ton of pictures posted today. They were all just to cute not to post. Enjoy. One last thing, when we were out today I looked around and said."Thank you Lord for my sweet family." What we did today, I've been dreaming of doing, since I was in high school and at DBU. I was like Yea I'm finally getting to do these great things. Hope everyone is having a wonderful family Saturday. Here's the girls at the pumpkin patch.

My sweet girls at the pumpkin patch.

Savannah girl getting her picture taken at the pumpkin patch. I just love that sweet smile.

My baby girl at the pumpkin patch. Sometimes we can get her to smile and other times she's not going to do it. Look at her little heart on her face. Way to cute!!

Savannah and Olivia at the pumpkin patch. Olivia was waving to us through the window. She and Savannah looked so cute. I just had to post it.

Mommy and Savannah. She's showing off her pumpkin. Just look at that cute face she drew on it.

Savannah working on her pumpkin. She loved it, but was done within 10 minutes.

Kynnedi decorating her pumpkin. This was her favorite thing she did today. She sat here for over thirty minutes and worked on her pumpkin. The pumpkin turned out so cute.

Olivia and her pumpkin Mommy made for her. She was scared of it. We tried to get her to kiss it, but she was having none of it.

A wonderful family picture. Look at all those girls with that handsome man. We had a great day together.

All the girls had their faces painted. Yes, even Olivia sit still for a couple of minutes to get her face painted too. The girls loved every minute of getting their faces painted and also getting a balloon animal.

Daddy and his girls. We all had such a wonderful time today. I just love family days like this one. They're so special and ones I'll remember forever.

Date Night with My Girls

Tonight we had a Mommy Date Night with all my girls. Chick-fil-a put it all together for the families. It was so much fun. I had to make reservations and we dressed really nice. They picked us up in a limo, we had a waiter, and then dropped us back off. It was a wonderful night with my girls. Here's a great picture of Savannah before leaving for the date. Tim and I are already trying to teach them what is suppose to happen on a date. Mostly, Tim does this. He opens their doors for them and then he doesn't talk on his cell phone while on the date. Things like this just to share them what a guy should do for them, but Tim jokes they willn't date till their 35.

Savannah and Mommy!!

Kynnedi and Mommy!!

Olivia and Mommy!!

The girls and I right before we left for the Date Night. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful family. Thank you Lord for giving me so much. My cup runth over.

Savannah and Olivia waiting on the limo. Savannah was trying to help Olivia so she wouldn't fall off.

Kynnedi waiting on the limo.

They had a limo pick us up and take us to the restaurant and then bring us back. It was so much fun to ride together in a limo. It was my first time ever. Savannah said,"Oh, I get to ride in a limo again." I just started laughing. The girls were wondering where the seat beats were!

Our special table for dinner tonight. It was so sweet. They had conversation starters for us...like What's one thing you like about yourself? Kynnedi said,"her smile" and Savannah said, "her eyes". We had a great waiter who gave us our wonderful Chic-fil-a meals on a very fancy plate. Side note I had to blow out the candle on the table very quickly because we almost caught something on fire. The girls had a lot of fun people watching.

By the end of the night, the girls had found some old friends and made some new friends. We were waiting outside for the limo. Olivia was running around the whole building. It was crazy at times. Look how happy everyone is in the picture. We had so much fun on our Mommy Date Night!
