wrapping up 2009 with a smile or two

Well, here we are in 2010. I can't believe how long it has been since our last post! The Holidays have come and gone... Spring will be here soon-ish... Life is beautiful here in Alaska, and the Stubbs family is very happy :). We hope all our friends and family have had a blessed past year! And may God bless you in 2010 more than you could ever imagine! Here are some pics to summarize our last couple of months. I confess I haven't been taking as many as I should, I guess we have been busy. Enjoy the pics. Love you all!

Laurie, Madeline, Mira and Renae on Christmas Eve at the Matthews Home


Titus doing "My Names Chubba"

This girl alway figures out how to get what she wants...She opened this drawer to step up and grab the popcorn snack off of the counter...then sat down amidst my tupperwares to enjoy her stolen goods.

Merry Christmas Mira! She LOVED her new girly purse and dress-up.

Merry Chrismas Titus! He got a fish and named him "Fishy". Fishy it is!

The best Christmas wrap job ever!

Mira Sophie Butterfly Princess

Kissy Face -We had a lot of fun taking silly pics together while Mira took a nap.

I walked upstairs and found this...I had no idea she could climb onto a chair! Watchout!

We had a gingerbread house making party, it was a lot of fun...though only one house ended up working...

Does it get any cuter than this? No way!

Fall Is My Favorite Season!

this has been a crazy couple of months! we sold our house and bought a new one...moved our home from one place to another...mira turned one...it's fall now...winter is like hours away...it seems like summer was yesterday! we weren't even planning on selling our home! God has blessed us so amazingly and crazily! our new place is so great! there are so many windows, i seriously have sunlight all day long! titus and mira each have their own full baths...not that they need them or anything :). my favorite part after the sunlight is the laundry room. amazing. we are having a lot of fun making this house ours. after dinner tonight we bundled the kids up and buckled them into the wagon. we walked down to mcdonalds and got icecream...even though it was pretty chilly. we must be alaskans or something! it was a lot of fun, and was like a preview to me of the beautiful and fun walks we will have over the years. across the street is a lake where planes land and park...i'm really looking forward to our first stubbs family walk down that way. titus is going to freak :) he loves airplanes!

The Lake With Mita

Mita invited us to go out to the lake with her...Starrsky had to work, so just me and the babes went out. What a fun time!


Mira's life jacket fit perfectly!


"I look rediculous!"


Beautiful!


Titus LOVED going on the boat!

My legs aren't that big, really!

Mita and Titus "fishing" for his rubber ducky

Nobody fell in, which is good :)

He played like this for at least an hour

Mira enjoyed all the attention she got from her Mita...see any resemblance :)

August So Far : )

well, we're not quite sure how to address this one

titus and mira play together all the time now. their favorite game is "puppies", titus thinks mira plays this all the time :)

our little monkey is almost walking!

everytime we go for a walk titus HAS to pull mira...i probably look like slave driver...to anyone who has never had a two year old boy :)

naked babies are such a wonderful thing!

especially this one!

girls rock!

this is my favorite park ever, you can't beat a baby swing!
