Happy Birthday Annabeth! (plus some NEWS!!!)

Wednesday, June 6, 2012,was Annabeth's 5th birthday. Wow. Time goes by fast. It seems like just yesterday she was a little newborn, coming home in her carrier from the hospital. Wow.

Annabeth is one of the sweetest people that you will EVER meet. She almost always has a smile on her face. Pretty much whatever you ask her to do, she'll do. She's always singing and dancing, (I seriously think she is going to be a REALLY great singer some day) she's always making you laugh, and that's only part of what I could say. I could go on and on and on. But, for time's sake I should keep this somewhat short.

Some facts about her:

1. She LOVES Strawberry Shortcake
2. Like I said earlier, she loves to sing.
3. This one's pretty interesting. One minute she could love you like crazy, and hug and kiss you like you've never seen before. Then the next minute she doesn't want to have anything to do with you and she's latched onto someone else. :)
4. She has certain shoes for everything. She has church shoes, bowling shoes, (just a regular pair of shoes, but she wore them when we went bowling once, so now they're her bowling shoes) Breaker's shoes, (these are shoes that she wore when we went to Breaker's Water Park last summer) and pretty much whatever else you can think of. She has to have a certain pair of shoes for every occasion.
5. She's got such a sweet personality, and is going to make a GREAT big sister.

Ok, so now is where you go back and go, 'Huh? Did I read that right?' Well, I can assure you did. And that's where the news comes in. Mom's gonna have a BABY!!!!! We're all SO excited. We're trying to decide whether it's a boy or a girl, because either one is going to break a pattern. Mom thinks it's a boy because she's had a boy in winter every 7 years, (the baby will be born in January. Jonathan will be 14 in December and David will be 7 in January) and I think it's going to be a girl because the birth order went... girl, boy, girl, miscarriage, girl, boy, girl, miscarriage.... So it makes sense that this will be a girl, doesn't it??? Mom thinks that this isn't going to be our last baby though. She says that God wants us to have 3 babies in each house. :D Jonathan, Hannah and I were born in our old house, Sarah, David and Annabeth were born here, and by the time this baby is born we'll be down at the farm. So she says that we'll have to have 2 more. :D She says that she'll go straight from changing her baby's diapers to changing her grandbaby's daipers. :) And I suppose if she has 3 more it's pretty possible. :) I don't know what's going to happen, but It's fun to think about.

I'm just glad that Mom doesn't get morning sickness. She's been feeling pretty good since she found out, except for some really bad lower back pain. But that's passed, which is good.  Now she's just really tired.

And now for some pictures from the day!
