My beautiful family!

Here is a recent family photo!! I am so proud and happy to be a part of this wonderful family. I love you all so very much!

Susannah is Engaged!!

Congratulations to Susannah and TJ. They got engaged on Monday. TJ got home from work and tried to prepare quickly to surprise Susannah, but when she showed up a bit earlier than planned he decided to go ahead and propose, but in a different way. They went on their normal evening walk and in their favorite spot TJ pretended to bend down and tie his shoe and instead pulled out his grandmother's ring and asked Susannah to marry him. We are thrilled and cannot wait to welcome TJ into our family. Here is a great picture of the happy couple!!

Happy Easter!

Easter was a beautiful day filled with so many wonderful memories. Here are some great shots of the family at Aunt Viva's. Although, Reece did not really get the concept of hunting for Easter eggs, he still had a great time watching the other kids and playing with the eggs. Thanks Toby for the great pictures!
























Here is a sweet picture of Reece with his Mimi and one with mom and dad. Pops was missing, but I should have some of the entire crew to post soon.









I just love this shot of Toby and Reece! Priceless. Reece is pretty crazy about his Uncle Toby. I just cannot believe Emry is already a month old. She looked so cute in her little Easter outfit and accessories.

Toby and Lexy are counting down the days to the arrival of their baby girl Emry Paige Blansit. She is due on March 18th and we could not be more excited. Here is a picture of the good looking couple at their shower last weekend.

Below are some fun pictures from the shower.

These are some pictures of Reece from the end of the day. You can tell by his facial expressions he is running out of steam. Thanks Heather for sending me all these cute pictures to post ;)

8 Months Old

Reece turned 8 months old last week and also started crawling today!! I was not the one to get to see him crawl first. He decided to show off to my best friend Kara. :) As I walked out of Kara's front door and started my car to run an errand Kara came running out the front door to tell me to get inside quickly that Reece just crawled! We were so excited!!

He is such a joy to be around and is so much fun!! I have a feeling he will be keeping us on our toes in the coming months ;) He is talking all the time and loves to scream at his toys. He says mama alot which does not make daddy too happy, but does not yet call me mama. We are also attempting some new foods, which has been fun. Below are some recent pics of our little guy.

6 Month Photos

Reece turns 7 months old on the 18th. Only a few days away and I cannot believe how much he has grown. He is rolling around and playing like crazy! I know crawling is right around the corner.

Below are some of our favorite shots from Reece's 6 month pictures. Happy Holidays!

Our New House

Check out our new house!! Below are some pictures of the exterior, kitchen, upstairs and basement. It is a 3 bedroom/3 bathroom/1 car garage stone home in Old Leawood. It is located between State Line and Lee Blvd on 85th Terrace. We plan to move in right before Thanksgiving and could not be more excited. We plan to convert the upstairs to 2 bedrooms, so we will have a 4 bedroom/3 bath home! Plenty of room for us to grow as a family. Can't wait to have everyone over.

Halloween!!

As most of you know we throw a big Halloween party every year. This one was especially fun because we got to dress Reece as a monkey and he got to see all of his little friends in costumes too! We were his zoo keepers, Aunt Susannah was the Orbit Gum girl, TJ was the striking bachelor and Dan was a gladiator.
Will, the puppy dog and Reece could not really move with what they had on, while best friends Daisy Duck Natalie and Cowgirl Evie were in a serious conversation. The winners of the costume party were the H1N1 couple JR and Kristine. As you can see if was a fun costume party! Thanks to everyone who came over. We had such a great time.

First Milestones...

Here are some recent pictures of Reece. His first winter snow cap and mittens, first laughing spells, first haircut, first foods, and his first dedication. He is so much fun and has such a sweet personality. We feel very blessed and are looking forward to his first holidays!
