Enjoying my babies, A side career?!? & Easter!!! =)

This post may sound like it is all over the place... but that is kind of how our life is right now with my two little bundles... and I LOVE IT!!!
Our little miss Abby got her first bath... totally hated it at first (it is amazing the differences from her and Kar as a baby) ...
but once she got use to the water, she loved it =)
Karly was playing on a chair in our pool table room, and I saw a photo opp =) She is so stinkin cute!!!
And these two have such a bond already!
Now to move onto the possible "side career" that Katie and I (and eventually Amy) are thinking of starting. Katie and I both have pretty nice cameras and we love to experiment with them. As most of you have seen from Katie's blog, we are taking Amy's senior photos... to make a long story short, a few people have suggested we start a business with our photography. WHY NOT RIGHT?!? Amy will hopefully join us in it once she gets a camera and IF we get anything going with this idea. Now all of these are my photos before Katie puts her amazing artistic editing to them (She has the apple computer... amazing for editing photos!!!) ABOVE: Just one of the photo session we did with Abby.
These are a few of MY favorite shots of Amy... She has the ones that were her favorite that we are using for her announcements that I won't share til they come out...
... and I will share more closer to her graduation!
 ... these were back when I was pregnant... my sisters found it pretty hilarious (big ol pregnant girl laying in the middle of the street taking photos =)
It's hard to take a bad photo when you have such a gorgeous model =)
I told Amy that she looked like an Ambercrombie and Fitch model here!
... more to come soon from our fun with this photo session =) One more month Amy... HANG IN THERE!!!
Now back to my babies =) Karly is growing so fast lately...she is still such a good big sister and has not got sick of Abby yet...
... and our little Abby has gotten on a better nightly schedule, she was cluster feeding (just had her nights and days totally mixed up)...
Now she is only waking up once at night.... much better =)
We are all just enjoying holding a little newborn again... not for long though, she already looks bigger to me on a daily basis (with the way she eats, she should be!!)
I just love this face!!!
Sisters getting ready to jog with thier Mom =)
"Why does she love me so much? All I do is eat, poop and cry?"
Karly can navigate through my phone better than me now, and LOVES to call EVERYONE!!!
And this one will be there sooner than we know it!
Kar loves to put on a show for us by singing "My world is Changing" from Cindy Lou Who on Dr. Suess' the Grinch...
She also is into picking out her own outfits... I think she does pretty well =)
We started the Easter celebration on Saturday night with egg dying of course... Here is the beautiful miss Grace!
And Kar =)
Carlos using my favorite color!
Bella and Kar
Papa, Karly and Baby Grandpa loving on Emmy Bleu!
 Becky got to hold Abby for the first time... we are sorry you hit that deer Beck and had to come down to get your car fixed but we were so happy to have you guys here =)
 Gracey wanted to hold her too!
 And Nana must have the comfort vibe... Abby fell asleep on her for hours!!!
 All our cool eggs!
My baby girl eating Takis... like flaming hot cheetos... she LOVES them!
 This little guy is just plain ADORABLE... such a smiley, happy baby... I could not stop taking pictures of him!!!
 Macy, Becky and Karly
 My girls =)
 And Easter morning Karly was so excited to open her basket!!!
 She has been wanting Bolt for such a long time =) I love her hair in the morning!
 This Easter we spent at the Lee's house, my mom came with... (Kt and David had a weekend get away =)
 My little Kar looked just so sweet!!
 One of my best friends, Sarah, got her this outfit...
 She had a wonderful time this Easter... everything really clicks by this age...
 ... which I have to say is one of my favorite ages... she is just a sweetie and says the funniest things! Love my Kar!!!
And with this new little one, we get to enjoy the open mouth kisses again =0
 Her little Easter get up =)
 Mayme had to work Easter Sunday, but stopped by after to say hi to everyone! We had a wonderful Easter... THANK YOU LEE'S for always treating all of us so well!
And we will end with my sweet, but WILD child... Easter Sunday she was running (she has the life motto of Forest Gump... wherever she goes... she is RUN-N ING!!!) and she fell into the edge of Kathies coffee table... couple xrays and no broken nose, but swollen pretty bad and is now that yellow color =( Everyone tells Ricky that he is getting paid back for how wild he was when he was younger, which makes him a nervous wreck! We are just glad she is ok... just love this SWEET WILD little one!!!

Our June Bug is Here!!!

Abby June Lee... born April 7, 2011 at 12:30 am... she was 7 lbs 1/2 ounce and 19 1/2 inches long....
She cried for a second when born and then was silent just taking this new world all in =)
This shot is for Kar... the first time we changed her diaper together (she is my little helper) she said to me "Mom, I like-a- her booty!"
Meeting her Daddy for the first time! The tears of joy kept coming for Ricky! 
 Happy daddy of two BEAUTIFUL girls!
 Abby telling Grandma Kathie what tough work it was coming into this world! =)
I could not wait to get her into my arms! 
This little grubber had no problem with breast feeding... she was searching the second she came out, latched on, and nursed for an hour and a half straight!!! Love it!
Daddy holding those tee tiny little toes. 
Grandma Kelly and her second grandbaby... the labor and delivery was really awesome, everything went very well and we are so happy she is here happy and healthy!
We got to come home the next day (no jaundice for Abby... yay!) and Katie, David and Amy had put together this set up for us.( I told Ricky that it is things like this that make me so happy Karly now has a sister!)...
Complete with a six pack of Killians in the fridge (my fav) I immediately threw one in the freezer... Grandma June was a big believer in beer helping your milk come in, so I enjoyed my first beer in 9 months and BOY DID IT MAKE MY MILK COME IN QUICK =) Abby is a happy girl!
The days after have been peaceful and we are all just taking time to enjoy both our beauties!
 We have compared baby pictures of Karly and Abby and they look similar but also very different... it is fun to compare! They were both such pretty newborns! And for the question everyone has been asking.... YES Abby did get the dimples, not quite as deep as Karly and the right one is more pronounced, but they are there! =)
My two dimple dumplings! Karly is an AMAZING big sister, just like I knew she would be...
She can't walk by her without giving her a kiss!
She is very gentle and LOVES to hold her!
And I you can see how Abby already adores her big sister... she is very calm in her arms and you can see a twinkle in her eye when she looks at her!
Karly sushing her baby sister to sleep... MAN I JUST LOVE HER!
And MAN DO I LOVE HER TOO!!!
Snoozin, she had her first doctors appointment on monday and has gained 7 oz already... and her belly button has already fallen off. Time is already flying with this one!
Sweet girls!
Sisters!
It is hard to put our finger on exactly what is different in Abby's look, but at times something in her look resembles Katie's baby pictures a little to me...
One hilarious thing though is that besides the dimples... both girls also got their Daddys toes... it is rather hilarious, on Ricky's right foot his second and third toe are slightly webbed at the bottom and BOTH Kar and Ab got the same thing and all on the right foot!
My big girl has been so helpful latley... even putting on her own pull up to take her nap, but accidently put it on backwards =) "I like-a- your booty baby girl!!!"
Karly was excited for Abby to try her swing...
Right there to make sure her baby sis is comfy!

Q-T-2
It is amazing our hearts can hold so much love! Thank you Lord for blessing us with yet another healthy, happy, and absolutely gorgeous baby girl!
The next two videos... Kar meeting her baby sister for the first time!
