Sweet Baby Girl

She's here! Mia Carmen Andrus was born June 17th at 1:20pm. She weighed 7.12 and is 19 inches long. She is such a good little girl! She just sleeps, eats and occasionally opens her eyes to check out the scenery. Cash is having so much fun loving on his baby sister. Life is wonderful and we are so glad to have Miss Mia home with us!

Curls

Never did I really think that my wish would come true. The whole time I was pregnant with Cash I would say I hope that my baby boy looks just like his handsome Daddy and have his great curly hair and big blue eyes. Well, I was saying that half thinking there was no way I was going to have a white kid with blonde hair and blue eyes because I am brown! But sure enough I got a look a like the only difference is he has hazel green eyes like his Pawpaw. But I am so glad my wish came true! I love Cash's curls and everything else about him!

Happy, Happy Days!

One small step for my brother and Grandma and one huge step for my eternal family! Thanks to many prayers and missionary efforts on behave of a lot of people two of my most loved family members have joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! Words can't express the happiness that I felt on both days.

As you all know my family moved in with us and oh how heavenly father knows exactly what we need and when we need it! Things have just managed to work out and our family has grown so much closer as a result and it has been so much fun having FHE every week with the whole crew, except my mom keeps telling me she thought FHE was about playing games not always having a spirtual lesson...so I have to work on that!! HAHA! So my parents are still holding out but their days are numbered!

My mom wanted a picture of the future priesthood holders of our family, seriously her words!

It has been quite an experience talking with both my brother and grandmother about gospel principles and doctrines. It is about the neatest thing to hear these people you have grown up loving no matter what talking about how much they wished everyone could know what they now know and how much they want to share this glad message to everyone they know and love! There has come a whole new spiritual connectedness I never knew that I could experience so soon! I love this gospel so much and I am a firm believer that Heavenly Father hears our prayers and feels the deepest and truest desires of our hearts and that if we are only patient and believe in his timeframe and keep the faith all will work out according to his will.

I am so greatful each and every day for my husband for giving me the most precious gift that anyone can ever give, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Now I am proud to say I am not the only member in my family! And I know that my parents will one day join the group too and I can't wait to be able to be sealed to my family for time and all eternity! Count your many blessings...

Move over Tiger

Check out the future of golf!

This was Cash's easter outfit and he looked so adorable but he totally looked like he was headed to the golf course with Daddy.

Next Easter, I get to add dresses and bows to into the mix! YEAH!

Seriously, a Speedo?

Thanks to my awesome friends, the Passey's whom are living in Belgium for 3 years Cash got an awesome Speedo for Christmas to sport this summer! It has been hanging out in his dresser for 5 months and I have been counting down the days until I could get his cute little booty in those tiny little speedos! Well the day finally arrived and and boy was my little man sporting those short shorts! Now all I need to do is get Beth to send me some for Bret to match Cash! How cute would that be!

Memorial Day

I have so much to catch up on, but I figured might as well start with the latest and work backwards! Man, has it really been three months since my last post...what a slacker!!!

We had a ton of fun at a friends crawfish boil for memorial weekend. There was swimming, a bounce house, swing set and yummy food. Cash could have stayed in the pool the whole time he had so much fun playing with Daddy.

Then on Memorial day we all went to a putt putt place in Lewisville and had a blast! Cash loves to golf and has a pretty good swing for a 17 month old! Then Daddy got to take Cash on a ride in the go carts which Cash loved. Then of course the games we had such a fun time and Cash was definitely worn out. With all the tickets we won from the arcade Cash got his first ring pop which he loved, a candy binky who could want anything more!

Maybe she'll be brown :)

Mia Carmen Andrus

Sweet baby girl will be gracing us with her prescence on June 16th. We are so excited to have a little girl to dress up and for Cash to love on. Bret is very excited and has been told by everyone to hold onto his wallet, so he is already prepared for what is to come...lots of shopping!!! Baby Girl is doing great and I hardly realize I'm pregnant except that she is a wild thing always moving and kicking. Cash occassionally kisses my belly...I don't think he quite gets that there is a baby in there more like wow mommy's belly is sticking out more than normal, let's kiss it! Just like little Cash this name was an easy pick, we are definitley hoping this kiddo will look more like the 1/4 mexican she is unlike her brother who is white boy through and through. If anyone has some girlie girl classes they would like to put on for me that would be greatly appreciated since I don't even know how to braid hair!!!
