More Berlin Pics!

Ok, so it's been awhile! Here are a couple of pics of Berlin to hold you all over until I put the new house pics up!!!

My, My what a messy face!

This is an older pic, but it's so cute!

Happy 4th Anniversary!

Well, it's been 4 years...and we haven't killed each! This just might work! Since it's officially our anniversary (only 13 mins into it), I thought I would write just a quick word on how much I love my husband! He's a wonderful man and a wonderful father to Berlin. It's great having your best friend beside you...for time & all eternity! Happy Anniversary, Joshua!!! I Love You BIG! -3-

Like Mother, Like Daughter!?!

Okay, I'm supposed to be packing, but I found so much stuff, I have to reminisce. What do you think? Does Berlin look like me? I'm "1" in the pic with the doll. In the other, I'm exactly 18 months! Berlin is 17 months! Obviously, the hair makes a big difference.

I've been tagged - Thank you Aimee & Cindy!

Alright, Fine! I've been tagged by Aimee & Cindy! So, here goes: Six random things about me (I even have pictures):


1. My first concert was a New Kids on the Block Concert when I was 12. My sister & I had second row tickets, but she gave mine to her best friend, while I sat on the balcony with her other friends! No, I'm not bitter! I could've been Mrs. Joey McIntyre!

Check out the smug look on my sister's face. It's like she knew, "I'm gonna be in the second row!"

Proof that I was a fan, here is a picture of my room when I was 12. I should have closed the trunk, but there on my wall is the evidence! NKOTB!

2. I have to smell a cup before I can put any liquid it in and drink from it! If it doesn't pass the test: No go! Weird, I know, but can't help it!

3. I met Pres. Bush (41) when I was 6. He was Vice President then; I met Barbara Bush a year later when she spoke at my school. I brought the picture of me shaking Pres. Bush's hand & she signed it. Yeah, even then I was a dork.

This is obviously not the signed picture, I couldn't find it!

4. I have an addiction to buying journals & bookmarks! I don't know why, but I have more empty journals & too many bookmarks than I know what to do with.

5. I shake out & semi-fold clothes between the washer & dryer. I don't think it's weird, but have been made fun of for it!

6. I alphabetize my dvds & cds. Dvds aren't so bad, but the cds are in a book & I have to move them every time I get a new cd. They're separated between Soundtracks & bands. Recently, I tried shuffling them up, but as soon as we move, I'm putting them back!!

So, enough about me...I guess I have to tag people. So, I tag...Amber Bright, Arch & Pinkie(the parents), Erica, Jenny, Steve & Sherese, and Aaron & Mary! There, that's 6!

Berlin's First Circus!!!

We had to get a souvenir...or two or three!

Enough of the flash, Momma, I'm trying to watch the elephants!

Waving "bye" to the elephants!

On the way home from the circus!

This is what she does when you say "close your eyes"

She's such a girl!

Berlin came out of her room like this!!! She's such a girl!

Sleeping babies are so cute!!!

Brock pushing Berlin on his Birthday present!! He was so good, I kept taking picture after picture and Berlin would not look at the camera. He just stood there with his "cheese" face waiting for me to finish!

Berlin taking her turn on Brock's present!

Another Dr. Swain? Most Doctors don't take your heartbeat in their bathing suit! I wish the flash wasn't so bright, but her face is so cute! And yes she fussed until I put that bathing suit on, we didn't even go swimming!

Officer...Swain?

Ok, it was time for a change. I just needed a little bit of patriotism so I changed the look of the blog. I like it!!!

Officer Swain on diaper duty!!

After this she turned and ran!

Feeding the seagulls after they stole from the ducks and geese!

A "brrr" or bird

Berlin's first time down the slide! It was actually pretty funny. Daddy let go, but her arms were still behind her so she slowly came down squeaking all the way!

Just soaking my feet with Daddy!

Why just the feet?

Queen of the Sand Castle!

Just chillin' in the pool!

There's nothing like chips & Queso!

Beach Day

We started out in the pool...

Playing with the crabs & shrimp!! Getting daring!!

I Love these kind of pictures!!! Just walking on the beach!

The bird's gonna get me!

This is what Berlin does at church when you say "Where's Jesus?"

Blue Angels & Misc!

Like Father, like daughter!

I thought this was funny, she got stuck under her grocery cart!

Wanna sip?

Funny Daddy. I can't believe she kept these on!

The noise scared her a little bit at first, but she got used to it!

1st Birthday Pics!

Isn't she adorable!?!

Berlin's 1st Birthday!

I love this look! She didn't get too messy!

She looks scared as we're all singing "Happy Birthday" to her!

She was so excited she wanted to try the clothes on!!!

I love the look she's giving Brock as he's touching her dog!

Can't have a birthday party without a birthday hat!
