This is one of Joanna's latest creations. She actually did this one on a "coloring date" with her Gran over Campbell's birthday weekend (check back soon for b-day pics!) Joanna loves to draw, color, & create, and having a color date with all of us that love her is one of her favorite things to do.

Second to creating, is planning out her future. Right now she wants to be a vet & a rock star. She's actually scaled back a bit. Last month it was a rock star, chef, artist, & cheer leader. She says she's not getting married or having kids because she'll be too busy :)

Surprise visit

2012-01-17T10:08:00.000-06:00

We got a fun surprise visit from Cousins Amanda & Seth and their crew, who were on the way home to Kansas City from a trip to TX. So much fun packed into one hour! I'm relieved the weather was so nice since it is super windy & a chilly 26 degrees this morning!

Love how Abby and Sarah are looking at eachother. So sweet!

Yay! Kid group pic and everyone is happy! Thanks for stopping to see us guys. It was so much fun.

Note to anyone else passing by anywhere close to Oklahoma City, come on by anytime!

Back to Blogging!

2012-01-15T15:22:00.000-06:00

Decided to get the old blog up and going again. (Thanks for the inspiration Steph!)

We had a great Christmas season and start to the New Year with many celebrations spread out over December and January. It has been nice to settle back into school and our regular schedule. Here are some pictures from the past couple of months.

---DECEMBER---

Christmas in Abilene!

Christmas morning 2011

Can't believe my baby is 16 months old!

---JANUARY---

My cousin Mary got married! The girls LOVED going to the wedding.

Kelly, Jason, and Mimi to OK for our Christmas together.

The girls are sad monthly Christmas celebrations are not planned all year!

Sister sister sister! They are three peas in a pod and have so much fun together. Love them so much!

Movie night.

Joanna's been in charge of makeovers lately. Come on over if you want one!

Thank you God for making these sweeties

This video is from the girl's mother's day out Spring 2011 show. Joanna did such a good job! She practiced and practiced to get her impersonations just right. Caroline (cutie red head next to Joanna) clearly has a future in performance arts.

The sweetest kisses

zoo with our friend Avery

Look who's on the tire swing!

Such a big girl!

So glad we had the paparazzi there to capture the big event.

Tuckered out with all the crawling and playing. She was out before I even put her down.

And this is what I found when I went to get Abby the next morning.

Pulled up on her knees and ready for another day!

Aaahhhh......finally Spring

Loving the nice weather.

SPRING BREAK 2011

WITH COUSINS!

They all spent as much time as possible on the tire swing. So fun!

These two spent a lot of time together while the bigger kids were off staying busy with Casey & Eric.

At the Science Museum.

Getting ready for our backyard camping night.

Yummy S'mores!

Ghost stories in the tent was a big hit.

Love that cute smile.

Abby gymnastics. Look at that form!

She is pretty much crawling, but not quite full speed yet.

Joanna's birthday locked from Aunt Kelly! Thank you Aunt Kelly & Uncle J. She loves it!

While Mimi was in town I met one of my best friends and college roomate, Erin, in Dallas for a girls weekend. We started off right with cupcakes from Sprinkles!

At the Dallas Flea with Mary Gregory and her goods from Fig Marmalade.

We met up with our other roomate Ryan for brunch at Breadwinners.

So good to catch up and reminisce our days in Lubbock.

Campbell LOVES taking pictures. She really has some talent! She'll be 3 on Saturday. How did that happen so fast??? Love this girl. She makes my day so bright.

Abby loves being Campbell's model.

Hello big brown dog. No we can't share toys.

But we can share your floppy ears.

Aren't dogs and babies just the cutest together?!?!

Abby is 5 months old!

2011-01-20T21:40:00.000-06:00

Campbell, Abby, and Joanna. Everyone is looking at the camera at the same time!

Abby is changing so much every day. She starting baby food! Seems like next week she'll be walking.... it is going so fast.

These two are such big helpers. They unload the dishwasher, feed the dog, and have gotten really good at picking up.

2 months old

2010-11-03T13:25:00.000-05:00

Abby is 2 months old and we went for her check-up with Dr. Stephens on Tuesday. She is a growing girl! 13 lbs 4 oz and 24 inches long. I've wondered why her car seat has gotten so heavy. She is such a happy baby and starting to smile a lot.

Abigail Leigh - 2 months

The girls were Cinderella & Belle for halloween. They had fun getting to trick or treat on Saturday.

Silly faces and the scary eyed dog!

Fighting over who gets to hold Abby. Poor baby....

Okay - everyone just squeeze her tight. She gets a lot of lovin' these days. What a lucky little sister.

Jo

2010-10-13T22:49:00.000-05:00

My Jo.

She informed me today her name is Joanna.

I love you Joanna.

2010-10-10T18:04:00.000-05:00

Joanna was the flower girl in Casey's cousin, Caroline's wedding.

Here she is with the ring bearer, Andrew. They were so cute!

Pretty Joanna - she is growing up into such a lovely little girl. Such a blessing to us all!

We've been a family of 5 for a couple weeks now, but it really feels like a month. In the past week Casey and I both forgot Abby's name. I couldn't recall it when I was introducing myself and telling about my family to the ladies bible study group (of about 40 women) and Casey forgot today at church. Guess that happens to the 3rd baby, and to parents of 3 :)

Bailey is such a good playmate.

sleepy smiles

zzzzz

I'm so thankful for my man. He is amazing!

He can be up all night at the fire station (or at home these days) and still spend most of the next day playing with the girls. They LOVE it. One of them is constantly asking to wrestle or play outside.

our beautiful little blondie

Mimi came for a visit and to get to know Abby.

Best buds

That is a lot of PINK.

Not sure what is going on.

I think Mom is taking a nap and somehow these pics were on the camera....

We love Mimi! Thanks to her, we had another week full of help, attention, and extra lovin'!

Already missing you!

One week old and so sweet.

Reading the paper with Daddy.

Gran had to go home on Thursday. We loved having her here so much, and Joanna & Campbell are missing her today. We couldn't have made it this past week with all her amazing help! Mimi is coming on Saturday. We are so blessed by our family and friends. Thank you all so much for your blessings of meals and sweet congrats. We love you!

Abby is doing great. Of course we've had some fussy times and we are getting used to a little less sleep, but she is so precious. She had her first check up with Dr. Stephens on Thursday and she weighed 8-13, and he said she looked perfect. Thank you God for a healthy baby girl!

Coming soon.....

2010-08-31T19:24:00.000-05:00

Abigail's birthday is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 2nd!

Casey and I will head to Mercy Hospital bright and early to get things rolling.

Stay tuned for lots of baby girl cuteness!

Almost here!

2010-08-20T16:19:00.000-05:00

Little babies are on my mind these days. Abigail will be here soon and I'm excited to get to cuddle a baby girl again. The other two were so cute and I can't wait to see what Abigail looks like. I go back to the Dr on Tue and I'll be 40 weeks. We'll see if she comes on her own or if she needs a little encouragement. Joanna was induced 2 weeks late and my water broke the night before I was to be induced a week late with Campbell. I guess it is pretty cozy in there, even at the end of a HOT HOT August. I post updates when we know something. Here is a look back at our sweet babies.

Joanna, 8 days old

Campbell, 20 days old

Growing so fast!

Campbell is 2 1/2 and Joanna is 4 1/2

Party!

Last weekend Casey and I went in different directions for some quick last trips of the summer. On Saturday the girls and I went to Fort Worth to celebrate Nanny's birthday while Casey was at work. When he got off Sunday, Casey left for Missouri for his cousin, Cassie's, wedding celebration. We wished that we both could have been together for the both trips, but we got it all covered. It was so fun for us all to see our families.

We love you guys!

Baby update: The update is that there isn't really anything new! Exciting I know, but some of you might be wondering. I'm in my 37th week and there hasn't been very much activity, so I think we'll probably be waiting for a couple more weeks. Our baby girls like to stay cozy until the end!

Daddy's Girls

2010-07-28T15:54:00.001-05:00

The girls went fishing the other night with Casey. Joanna (our girliest girl) was all about picking out worms and holding the fish. She even got a little upset when Casey threw one back before she got to hold it. Campbell was happy to go along and caught her first fish, but didn't want any of the messy stuff on her hands.

This one really shows how much Campbell and Casey look alike. Here they are with Campbell's 1st fish!

ready, set, WRESTLE

To my sweet friend Carrie: I guess boys and girls are more alike than we think sometimes,

but I'm sure your wrestling matches are much more intense!

In July we decided to take trips to Missouri and Texas to visit the families before Abigail arrives. We went to Missouri for a bridal shower for Casey's cousin Caroline and then got to stay for a fun time at the lake. The next weekend we went to Texas and had so much fun seeing everyone there.

I didn't get any pictures of the adults this trip!

I've gotten so bad about remembering to use my camera and taking more pictures of everyone.

Baby Shower

-My sweet sister-in-law, Stephanie and her mom, Susan were so sweet to host a baby shower for Abigail when we were in Abilene. I know she will be so grateful to not have some nice new clothes and lots of other goodies. It was so fun to see my sweet friends!

One of my best friends, Erin, is due with a baby boy right around the same time as me.

We had to get a baby belly pic together!

New site

2010-07-23T21:25:00.001-05:00

HI! Welcome to the Stewart's new blog. I was recently told I needed to add new pictures to our old site and decided to start fresh using Blogger. Hopefully you will appreciate the fact that blogger has a spell check for me to use. No more of my horrible spelling errors. I'm going to do my best to add pictures more often, instead of once every couple months. Since my last post on our old page we sold the Abilene house, moved into a rent house in Edmond, and bought & moved into another house in Edmond. We do not plan to move EVER again. It is so nice to feel settled before Abilgail is born. Thank you to all of you who made our moves and transition back to Oklahoma go so smooth. Here are some pictures from the past couple of months to get you caught up.
