Andy's Home!!!!

My little Bro Andy got home from his mission on July 6th and me and the kids got to fly down to see him come home... it was so fun! Here are the cousins and Jaecie waiting anxiously with they're signs (we were there 2 hours early so everyone got a little crazy!)

He's here! He's here! He looked so cute and so grown up!
Grandpa Van and Elder Van Ausdal, what a great moment!

The entire group..... and yes, that is the best picture ever taken of me....EVER!

Welcome home Andy! We love you and are sooooo proud of you!

My big girl!

So, these pictures are posted backwards..... Jaecie learned to tie her shoes today. She started out wanting to wear her new tennis shoes but she insisted on tieing them herself, I figured it was about time she learned. I took a few minutes teaching her and then left her alone, telling her that it takes most kids more than a day to figure it out so to not stress out about it, Jaecie is a very determined child and said that she WoULd do it in one day. So, after much pratice and stress she can now tie her shoes in record time! She is ready for kindergarten :( My little girl is growning up too darn fast!

All done!
Almost there!

Look at that determination!

Holy Crap it's HOT

So summers in Texas suck for lack of a better word. We cannot go outside. Being 7 months along does not help. But, we get BORED so we decided to take some pictures today........

I told Maggie to smile for the picture and I swear she knew what I said!

Poor Charlette, she puts up with alot of LOVE

Nathan didn't hold still for long

Jaecie is always up for a photoshoot

Hmmm... well, that kept us entertained for about 4 minutes... now what are we going to do for the rest of the day? I'm up for a nap!

More Cousins!

So, my sister in law and brother in law are down from Housten for a wedding and they left they're 3 kiddo's with us while they went to the wedding and I had to take the oppertunity to take some picture of all the grandkids on the Stilovich side of the family too! These were really fast and just taken in our backyard since I was the only one home with all of them I didn't want to push my luck but I think they turned out pretty cute!

I tried to get a few of just they're kids too, they arent perfect but no one is crying so thats good... right?

Cute Little Weston, he is such a good baby!

We had fun today .... now lets just see if they will go to sleep (as we speak they are all in one bedroom) :)

69 Days and counting!!!!!!

Here he is! I am almost 7 months along and we just had our last ultrasound. I think I put the same picture twice.... sorry, But he sure is cute! The ultrasound lady says he is about 3 1/2 lbs right now and it looks like he might be a little chubby! These hot Texas summers are about enough to kill me but I am sure he will be worth it! Let the countdown begin!!!!

Cousin! Fun! Fun! Fun!
