Happy 2nd Birthday - Anna Belle

Today my baby is TWO years old - wow!!

Of course, she was up the same time, she always is up - 6 am

We let her see her gifts - then Jeff & I went back to bed, while Tietjen & Annie played, watched TV and appartently ate all the cookies out of the pantry -

We gave her a doll bunkbed - for all her many dolls

a washer/dryer playset (given to me from my neighbor)

and some doll bottles - gotta keep them feed!!

Tietjen gave her a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse coloringbook


Annie's favorite were all the balloons !!

Tietjen liked helping feed the babies

Such a mommy

Hmmm - tastes good!!

Just now, as I was working on this post - Tietjen & I couldn't find Annie - I opened up the back door to find Anna Belle had crawled through the two different doggie doors and was out inthe yard playing with Jazx -

When I asked her if she had shoes on.... she showed me she did -----

The play shoes my parents gave her for her birthday - silly girl

Happy Birthday - Princess - we love you so verry much!!

We got Annie!!!

Anna Belle - what a whirl wind of a girl!!

She has always had the most beautiful BIG blue eyes (now a bit a grey in them)

Getting a good smile out of her is all on her MOOD!!

Annie is a MAMA's girl through and through - but she knows how to play the "daddy's girl" card very well. If mommy wont give in - maybe daddy will!!

(Jeff loves to sleep with the sleeping babbies)

HAIR HAIR HAIR - this girls hair grows very fast - just like her mommy's - for a year it was always in her face - and now I HAVE to do it up or food will be in it - I have fun doing different things (sometimes) - This past sunday I acctually did a small french braid with the top hair - there is so much of it!

There are so many more pictures, but I don't want to bore - plus all my 2007 pictures are on our broken harddrive - someday I will get them off - someday -

Love ya baby Girl - you are 1 in a million

my little Annie girl

A week before Anna Belle was born, we had Chinese Food... my fortune cookie said...

"A short stranger will soon enter your life with blessings to share."

We kept that fortune, which is in a photo frame with the picture of Annie & Tietjen (further down)


She has been our blessings, endurance, and trial of faith.




Anna Belle was born April 29th - at 10:09 am - how much she weighted and how long she was I don't remember - I would have to look. All I know that is that it took only 3 pushes and out she came, unlike the FOUR hours of pushing to get my Tietjen boy out!!



Tietjen loved his little sis from the begining - I just wish he would stop teasing her -
I feel like she has been 2 years old for a couple of months, so this is not shocker to me right now - my little Drama Queen with MAJOR attitude! - Love ya banana belle~~

The music on my blog, is dedicated to my little girl -(on my playlist) - turn your volume up to hear it, if its off

**Gilmore Girls theme song - is a fav of mine - I want a mother daughter relationship like Lorili & Rory - just even better because of the gospel.

**"Butterfly Kisses" (- always makes me cry and think of my little sweet girl - I love her so very much!

**Slipping through my fingers (Abba) - I just liked the movie "Mama Mia" another great Mother Daughter example - Annie is my bestest friend ever - I hope to keep that going!!
