He's HERE!!! Our son, Malachi was born on November 29, 2010 at 11:00 PM. He weighed 8 pounds, 11 oz. and was 21 1/2 inches tall. We are so happy to have him as an addition to our family! Mom is glad to be done with pregnancy and we are all so excited to hold him and bring him home!

My 29th Birthday

2010-09-20T22:00:00.000-07:00

Well, it is here...I am 29 years old. I held on to 28 for as long as I could but had to give up the fight. Oh well. I had a great birthday. My birthday was on a Thursday this year. I went to work and my work family gave me cards, cakes, gifts, and gift cards to Starbucks, Red Lobster, and Outback Steakhouse. Classes came into my roomed and cramped in and sang to me while other classes brought cards and gifts they had made. It was such an awesome day! After I got home I didn't expect to go anywhere but Marise took the kids with her and Jeremy took me to Red Lobster. We wanted to watch Avatar in 3D but we are old and got tired after we ate, so we rented Why Did I Get Married and watched that at home. The next day, I got more presents and cards. After work I took Jennah to a church function. They had a tea party for the Missionettes. It was so weird dropping off my four year old until 10:00 at night. Zyannah stayed with my mom. Jeremy and I went to Dave and Busters to celebrate Nathan and My birthdays. It was really fun. Jeremy and I found a game that we both liked and played it for 45 minutes. We were hunters shooting animals in the African dessert and plains. We had a blast playing that game together. The next day was Saturday. I took the girls and my mom to Hobby Lobby and we bought some supplies to paint shirts with. The girls loved painting the shirts. My mom liked checking out the store. She had never been there. I bought a chest for Jeremy's work clothes so that they are out of the way. They took up room in the closet. The chest is very nice. I love it. My mom and Abigail celebrated with me that night. They bought Carrabas, gave me $29 in $1 bills, and gave me a Starbucks card. It was great hanging out with them. On Sunday, Jeremy and the girls went to church while I stayed home and caught up on rest and housework. I feel guilty anytime I miss church. After church we went to Famous Daves to celebrate Nathan's 31st birthday. Good food! They have really hot hot sauce which is AWESOME! After Daves, Jeremy and I came home for a bit before going back to church. The girls went with Marise to a birthday party. Once again this weekend we were childless. I think three times this weekend we had no kids. I missed them so much. I got to see them after church, so that was nice. I sang a special for offering at church. It was nice to sing again after not being up there in awhile. Gene asked me to sing with the team also, so I did. Pastor was on FIRE that night. He had just come back from Men's Retreat so he told us what was up! After church, we went home and slept. On Monday I went to work, and then went to my doctor's appointment. I am 29 weeks now. I am almost there! On the way home Jeremy told me to stall for 30 minutes before I got home. I finally got home after shopping for food at Walmart and Marise and the girls were making cakes. Jeremy had bought me some roses and a card. I don't get many cards from him, so I told him that is what I wanted for my birthday and he wrote some nice words in it. I have been celebrating my birthday for like 5 days now! I feel so blessed!

The Pictures Are Here!

2010-09-09T23:14:00.001-07:00

Sarah dropped the pictures off to me today at work. Here are some of my favorites! She did an awesome job. Thank you Sarah!!! You are awesome!

Pregnancy Pictures

2010-09-06T02:13:00.000-07:00

I had pregnancy pictures taken with my friend Sarah today. She is so awesome. She is helping plan my baby shower for our son. She said she would take pictures of me and my family and use them at the shower and also let me have a copy of the pics. So so so so so so incredibly sweet. We started our picture taking about 5:30pm. IT WAS HOT, but it wasn't as hot as I thought it would be. I was sweating during the entire session thanks to good ol' Arizona summers. Ha!

Sarah took a lot pics and listened to my ideas and had a ton of props and ideas of her own which were fantastic. She took us to a park that is in the neighborhood where her family lives. I have never seen such a gorgeous park. Everything that was going through my head about what I wanted-benches, greenery, trees, water, a stone wall, and a barn looking door was all there. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was PERFECT!!! Our session was about 2 hours and everything went well. The girls were good and posed nicely and Jeremy didn't have to do a lot and did very well participating and not complaining. He he he, I love you honey.

Sarah edited the pictures and brought them over to our place so that I could pick the ones I liked. Talk about FAST service! The pictures looked AWESOME!!!!! She is amazing. I am so so so so so happy with everything. I can't wait to post some of the pics on here!

South Dakota 2010/Moving 2010

2010-09-06T01:51:00.000-07:00

We traveled to South Dakota for Jeremy's Grandmother's funeral in July. We are sad to see her go, but know she is not in pain anymore. The trip took about 26 hours. The girls watched DVD's in the back and Jeremy and I took turns driving. My feet swelled up pretty badly and look like tootsie rolls. That was funny. We finally got to South Dakota after our long journey and stayed at Grandma's house. We got to hang out with family and had a great time together. The funeral was done nicely. A lot of people came for it. Lots loved Grandma. She was such a kind person. Jennah cried when she found out she passed away and still says things about her Great Grandma. I am glad she got to meet her.

We came home and unpacked. I also packed the house because we were moving. Talk about an insane time in my life. We went to SD, then had to pack to move, and then planned on going back to SD a week later. I didn't think I could do it. I got most of the house packed and then we had tons of help from our family and friends. We couldn't have done it without them. My boss Tammy watched the girls so that we could get things moved without kids running around. We moved the entire house in a day and I got to put our new place together in a day and a half. WOW!!!!!!

We didn't have anytime to enjoy our new place because we had to leave again for Jeremy's cousin's wedding. I was going to miss the last week of work before school started so I worked my butt off at work and then had to leave. It was so hard not being able to be at work but I was happy to be going to Jennica's wedding. We left and it took about 25 hours to get up to SD again. We FINALLY got there and checked into our room about 1:00 am. The next day the fun began. We went to the zoo with the girls and had fun going to the rehearsal dinner and then the wedding. Jennica's wedding and reception was awesome! I am so happy for her and Evan. After the gift opening the next day we left and headed home. All of the driving, fast food, and traveling WORE ME OUT!!!!! I am so grateful we got to spend time with both sides of Jeremy's family this summer.

We got home on Sunday and I had to get to work the next day because it was the first day of school. I thank you Lord for keeping us safe during our travels and for giving us such a great time with family and friends. AMEN!

It's A Boy!!!!!!!!!!

2010-07-13T22:18:00.000-07:00

Today was a fantastic day! I had a Dr. Appointment to find out the sex of our baby. I was nervous because I really wanted a boy but new I would be happy with a girl. The anticipation was killing me! I called Abigail before going into the office. We were finally called in and Jeremy, the girls and I went in. Michelle started doing her thing and then the time came for the big reveal. She said, "It's a BOY!" All of us were so excited. I cried a little and Jeremy, I could tell, was very proud and excited. The girls were so excited and very good in the room. They behaved and loved seeing their little brother on the screen. They stood the whole time we were in there. They did AWESOME!!!! Jennah said, "I'm going to have a brother baby!" It was so cute. Zyannah keeps kissing my belly and saying, "Hello Malachi." I love it. Well, it was a great day. I told my family and everyone is so ecstatic. All our friends are so excited. Thank you Jesus for your blessings! Amen.

Uncle Sterling's Graduation

2010-07-06T10:58:00.000-07:00

Well, he did it folks! Sterling graduated from UofA in May. We are so proud of him. I am not sure if I blogged about his High School Graduation, but I was not able to make it because I was in the hospital sick and pregnant with Jennah. I felt so bad that I missed it. Sterling didn't want to attend his graduation because he has more schooling and wanted to attend when he graduates in another 2-4 years or whatever he has left. We all kept bombarding him with emails on facebook and hotmail and texting him to go to his graduation. He finally said, "Okay," so we got to attend. It was a nice ceremony and we got good family pictures. Afterwards we went to Texas Road House and ate with other friends of his that also graduated. We had a great time!

My Silly Girls

2010-07-05T14:48:00.000-07:00

I bought a wig so that I could do something different with my hair and change my hair up once-in-a-while. My girls decided to get a hold of it one day and put it on. I thought it was the funniest thing EVER!!!! They look so different. It changes their look completely. I coudn't resist taking pictures of course. Silly Girls.

Jennah Promotes at Church

2010-07-05T14:37:00.000-07:00

Jennah got promoted at church from the nursery to the 4-year old Sunday school class. It was so exciting to see her get a certificate and be recognized. It made me cry too because my baby is growing up so quickly. Way to go Jennah!

We got to eat cupcakes afterwards! Yummy!!!

Farm Girls/Literacy Event

2010-07-05T14:22:00.000-07:00

Jennah and Zyannah got to feed the chickens at Uncle Tom's house. They had a lot of fun feeding the chickens, chasing after them, and touching the chickens. It's the first time they had been around any, so they had fun. We went to a Literacy event in Mesa that my friend Sarah invited us to. They had pony rides for the kids and Jennah and Zyannah had so much fun riding them. Good Times!

Jeremy's Birthday Party!

2010-07-05T13:37:00.000-07:00

I gave Jeremy a birthday party at Rendall and Vanessa's pool, at the place they live. We had a great time. Friends and family came over to celebrate Jer's 30th! We swam, had some BBQ, had lots of conversation, and buckets of fun. Jeremy really enjoyed the friends and the party. Good times. Jennah and Zyannah even got to open presents from Grandma Lee, Shannon, Tim, Audrey, and Nick. They really enjoyed that part!

Camping In The Living Room

2010-07-05T10:04:00.000-07:00

Jennah and Zyannah decided they wanted to have a "camping trip" in the living room and sleep in their sleeping bags and do a movie night. Jeremy and I were exhausted but decided it was okay for them to do that. I got the sleeping bags out, put in Loony Toones, and they had a great time! I got up in the middle of the night and turned off the movie because they were both passed out. Zyannah has been waking up around 6:30-7:00 EVERY MORNING OF SUMMER BREAK, so when she slept in until 8:20 I was so happy!!!! Thank you for suggesting the camping night girls! Mommy got to sleep and the girls had fun!

Jennah's sleeping bag is on the other side of her and she is covered in a little blanket, and she's not even using a pillow! How is that comfortable my LOVE? Ha! Zyannah, you are on your sleeping bag, but not covered or using your pillow! So funny.

Going Bouncin'

2010-07-05T09:43:00.000-07:00

I took the girls to Bounce Jungle to play one afternoon. The girls went and had a good time playing on the different bouncies. Jennah went and had no fear. Zyannah on the other hand was scared to try the slides. Later, she tried one and loved it. She even climbed the tall rock wall. Jennah did awesome on everything. She took off and enjoyed the rooms. We had a good time out.

Jennah Turns 4 Years Old!

2010-06-30T10:46:00.000-07:00

My Jennah turned FOUR yesterday! We had so much fun. We got up in the morning and went to Village Inn for breakfast. We had eggs, pancakes, suasage, and bacon. Yummy! After that, we went to the mall and hung out waiting for the movie "How To Train Your Dragon." The girls got to play with six other kids until we were ready to watch the movie. The movie was really good. Jennah liked it. After the movie, we came home and Grandma watched the girls while Jeremy and I went to eat at The Keg for his birthday. Jennah crashed out after we got home. What a fantastic day. We got to do her cake about two days after her birthday. We had an ice-cream cake from Baskin Robbins that was chocolate cake and chocolate chip ice cream. WOW!!! Yummy! Happy Birthday Jennah !!!!!!

Jeremy Lee is 30 Years Old Today!!!!!

2010-06-28T17:15:00.000-07:00

My Dear Jeremy is 30 years old today. It is so crazy that I met him when he was 21. Nine years ago! Time goes by so quickly!!! In these nine years that we have been together and seven that we have been married, he has always been such an awesome person! He is a very hard worker, never raises his voice to me, and loves me more than I know. I pray he has such an awesome 30th and God blesses the socks off of him. I love you Jeremy! Happy Birthday.

Love,
Hannah, Jennah, Zyannah, and the Baby.

Sunsplash 2010!

2010-06-28T17:07:00.000-07:00

We went to Sunsplash on Saturday as a family and with some of our friends. The Ferrara, Lucas, and Bashore families joined us for a fun day. Jennah was so excited to go to Sunslpash. I don't think she even knew what the place was, she was just excited to go there. Jennah had a fantastic time in the kiddo pool. We spent the entire day there. All of our kids are small and can't swim so we spent our day in 1 ft. of water and watched the kids play for about five hours. It was AWESOME. I think Jennah went down the slide at least 150 times....

The boys went off of course. To be expected. They rode several rides together. After they came back, the girls got into the lazy river and took about three laps around.

After we left we went over to the Lucas house to eat steak and watch some T.V. We watched "Blades of Glory." Crazy movie but funny.

We came home after that-it was about 10:00pm and everyone CRASHED. We were so tired from all of the fun we had had. Jennah's birthday was a hit! Happy Early Birthday my soon to be 4 year old! Mommy and Daddy love you!!!!!

I MISS MY FAMILY

2010-06-25T11:29:00.000-07:00

Well, my family is all dispersed this summer. My mom and sister are in England trying to take care of my Aunt's things after her passing. Sterling is in Tucson studying for his M-CAT, Michaela is in Mexico working with orphans, and Jeremy is putting in 13 hours a day at work. I feel lonely, but I feel selfish for wanting everyone's time. I really miss my family but everyone is doing something great. No one will be here for Jennah's birthday and Jeremy's 30th birthday, so I am sad but totally understand. I hope everyone is doing well where they are. I love you and miss you. Come home soon!!!! You are missed!!!!! I love you, Hannah.

I Love You Aunty Nacesay

2010-06-25T11:15:00.000-07:00

When I got the news that my Aunt passed away. It was so hard to hear the news process it. I did not have the opportunity of getting to know my aunt as well has I would have liked to. She lived in England and we live in the U.S. She visited us several times and we got to go to England twice and visit with her. She was a person that would do anything for you. She went out of her way to make other people happy and never told anyone of any troubles she was having. When Jeremy and I got married she sent us so much money for our wedding. Something that was sacrificial. She also flew in for it! Wow! My Aunt was my mom's witness when my mom got married, she was there for my birth and stood by my mom's side when my dad didn't come, and she was there when my first daughter, her great niece was born. I am so glad my Aunt could be a part of our lives. She is greatly missed and I just love her so much. Thank you God for an awesome aunt, thank you for the time you gave us with her. One day I will see her again in heaven.

Aunty Michaela's Birthday-April 2010

2010-06-24T16:49:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday to my youngest sister Michaela!!!!! You are 20 years old now!!!! Wow!!!! I wish I were 20! I pray God keeps you and blesses the socks off of your life. He has already started doing such a great work in you. You keep it up sister!!!!! I love you! Your Brother-in-law and nieces love you too!!! Happy Birthday!!!

THE BUNT CAKE- Whoa......we owe you a better cake next year...no offense to whoever purchased this one.....Ha ha ha, we put a two and there was no zero, so we put nothing to resemble the zero. How funny is that?!?!?!?! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Easter 2010

2010-06-24T16:20:00.000-07:00

It's EASTER 2010!!! We had some friends come over for a party and had a blast looking for eggs and decorating egg shaped sugar cookies. We had such a great time! That party somehow turned into a BBQ party at the end of the day. It was so much fun hanging out with friends all day and doing nothing but eat and hang out!!!

The kids are decorating their sugar cookies.

Jennah started out with a very nicely decorated cookies......

....and then I don't know what happened to it....Ha ha ha! It's Beautiful Dear!!!!!!!!!

Christmas 2009

2010-06-24T15:52:00.001-07:00

Christmas is HERE!!!!! Christmas is my favorite time of year. It lasts about a month for me! I decorate as soon as I scoop up the last bit of Thanksgiving food on my plate! I make sure to not forget the true meaning which is Jesus Christ coming to save all of man from infinite death. You can't forget that part....

I love to get all of the decorations out and the tree and lights. This year was the first year we had lights on our house. I had been asking Jeremy for FIVE years to put lights up and this year he finally did!!! I was so excited and they looked great! I love the icicle lights. They are my favorite. This year was especially fun because the girls could help decorate the tree. They had a blast putting everything on the tree themselves. Jennah however, got to put the Angel on the tree. She was ecstatic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Daddy lifted her up and she placed the Angel on the top. Way to go Jennah! Merry Christmas Everyone!

We had an Udom-Lee Christmas

Backyard Pictures 2009

2010-06-24T15:14:00.000-07:00

I love taking pictures of my girls! They are so stinking cute!!!!! I decided that I would dress them up like it was freezing outside and take some pictures for Christmas. It was a little warm outside so we had to hurry so that we didn't die in the heat. Why is it hot in December again? Not sure....Anywhoo, we took our pictures in the backyard and I loved them!!!! The girls cooperated very well with me! Thank you girls! You look wonderful!

"Halloween 2009"

2010-06-24T14:57:00.000-07:00

Well, I don't like to celebrate Halloween, however, this year I dressed to kids and we went to my school carnival to have some fun. There were games, animails, food, and just lots of fun things to do and tons of friends to hang out with. Jennah and Zyannah dressed up like fairies. They hate the tutus. I spend hours making them and they do not like them at all. It's kind of commical. They did like dressing up and putting on the make-up. We had a great time overall. The next day we had a party and went Trick O' Treating and got tons of candy from our neighbors in our neighborhood. If I ever move, I'm coming back to this neighborhood to Trick O' Treat. Fun night!!!

The girls were not too sure about the lama that was at the carnival. Jennah looks scared, and Zyannah looks like she is thinking if I close my eyes tightly enough and then open them, maybe the lama will disappear...

Jeremy and I went to a party at our friend's house. He was a pimp and I was a go-go girl. I don't sport a fro, this is a wig....

At the party, I got to meet Felipe Fa who was a Biggest Loser contestant. He came dressed as a fat biggest loser. He stuff himself with a pillow. I freaked when I walked in because I totally recognized him from the show. Sorry if I freaked you out Filipe!!!

Lee Family Pictures 2009

2010-06-24T14:49:00.000-07:00

I love taking pictures and I love pictures of my family being taken. We were at Ross one day and a lady stopped us and asked if she could photograph Jennah for her portfolio and website and then she would give us the pictures for free. I said sure! So we got together and had pictures of the girls taken and she did some family pictures. Very awesome!

Easter 2009

2010-06-24T14:31:00.000-07:00

We had a great Easter 2009. Our family went up to Globe to visit my mom and siblings. It was a little strange because Abigail could not be there to celebrate with us. She had a ton of homework to do so my mom drove down to get her and then took her back in the morning so that she could spend at least an hour with us. I was sad because I love having my family around, and when I don't get that time, I get emotional. My love language is quality time, so that is why I am the way that I am. We went to church, had lunch together and then took some pictures. Good times. The girls love their aunts and uncle and always love taking pictures with them. I pray Easter 2010 is much more fun!!!!!

Camping Trip 2009

2010-06-24T11:45:00.001-07:00

A group of us friends decided to go camping in April. Talk about COLD!!! I remember we discussed how everyone slept the first night. We were all miserable. The cold kept everyone awake that night. The next night was a lot better. The boys kept the fire going all night long which helped. The kids had fun running around and having a good time. The dads went shooting and the women were left at the campground to care for all of the children. Sounds about right, right? Ha! It was a good two days.

Vegas 2009

2010-06-24T11:27:00.000-07:00

Congratulations Rendall and Vanessa Helfrey!

We went to Vegas for Rendall and Vanessa's wedding. It was a lot of fun. Jeremy and I ended up being the witnesses for them. AWESOME. After the wedding we did some sight seeing and enjoyed the town. The best was the $7.00 meal we had. Steak, veggies, potatoes. Wonderful! The $15.00 buffet at the Flamingo was stinking awesome too. Everything you could think of was in a trough ready for us to eat!

Valentine's Day 2009

2010-06-24T11:08:00.000-07:00

Jeremy took me hiking on Valentine's Day. I am not a big hiker but I know he likes it so I went along. I like the exercise so I was happy to go. We climbed the Superstition Mountain. The trail was easy at first, and then it started to get really scary! We climbed steep rocks and went on narrow trails. I am not good with heights, so I don't even know what possessed me to do the hike! We got pretty high and Jeremy wanted to keep going to the top but I told him I was stopping. I would wait for him to come back down from the top. He said he wouldn't leave me and we stayed where we were for a while enjoying the scenery, and me wondering how I would get down. When it was time to leave, I told Jeremy to tell the kids hello for me and that their mother loves them and begged him to leave me at the top. He said no he wouldn't and that I had to come down. All the hikers passing by didn't help by telling me that that was the worst spot to get down from. I scooted on my bottom all the way to the part I could walk. TORTURE!!!!!! We got back to flat land and I was so ecstatic!!!!! I did it! I was so happy. What a Valentine's Day!

I love these pictures I took of Superstition Mountain.

Zyannah Turns One-December 14, 2008!!!

2010-06-24T10:48:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Zyannah!!!!! You are one years old today!!! You have gone from a tiny baby to a little toddler who can feed herself, walk, say a few words, and do many amazing things on your own! We are so blessed to have you! We love you, Happy Birthday! Love, Mom, Dad, and Jennah.

After cake, the kids got to go play at the park for a little while. Everyone had fun.

Zyannah loved opening her presents!

So happy!

Goodbye Bottles, Hello Sippy Cup!

2010-06-24T09:23:00.000-07:00

Jennah and Zyannah got to visit Grandma's work. They played with the toys and got to see what the Preschool kids get to do everyday. Grandma had a great time visiting with them. Zyannah is starting to walk, she was walking and falling the entire time. Very cute!!!!

Summer Fun

Jennah loves it when we go to San Tan Mall to play in the water. She loves splashing around. We have so much fun!!!!

Summer 2008

Here are some pictures from our trip to South Dakota. We always have a good time when we go there to visit family and friends. I love how life kind of slows down when we go there. Not much to worry about when on vacation!

Zyannah fell asleep at Great-Grandma Lee's house. She slept about the whole time we were there visiting.

This is Jeremy, Jennah, and Zyannah in front of the house Jeremy grew up in. He didn't want to take the picture because of the people living in the house. He thought they would think we were crazy!!!

Zyannah sleeping again.....

My girls in front of the lake. So cute. Jennah loves kissing her sister.

Zyannah and her Daddy

We were in South Dakota and went to the reptile exhibit. Jennah and Zyannah seemed to have had a great time while we were there. These turtle are so old! They are about 100 years old. Here is a little tid-bit my sister Abigail sent me about the picture on Facebook, "That turtoise is one hundred and thirty years old?!?! Just think about what it's seen. I mean it practically walked the earth with Jefferson and the boys. Made it through the Great Depression...took some serious determination. Saw us land on the moon, end of the cold war, the Holocaust, rap music, the rise and fall of the socialism, World War I, World War II, saw summer olympics come and go, saw winter olympics come and go. Was around when the Knicks were good. Saw the NKOTB come and go. Was a fan of Bing Crosby and Usher. Jennah got to see history. LUCKY." Abigail, you are so funny.

School Pictures 2008/Jeremy's Graduation 2008

2008-11-06T14:36:00.001-08:00

Every year that we have a picture day, I take my girls with me to school and have them take their pictures. It was quite the event trying to get both girls to stand still and take a good picture, but we finally got in a good shot and went with it. Jennah and Zyannah did a great job. You look lovely my daughters!!!

Congratulations Jeremy!!!!!!! You graduated from University of Phoenix today!!!! Jeremy got is BA in Criminal Justice Administration. Jeremy put in so many hours with school and still kept a full time job and took care of his family and made lots of time for us. You are an amazing man Jeremy, inside and out. I love you so much and am proud of you! God bless you my love.

We had such a great time!!!!!

Growing Up

2008-10-14T23:57:00.000-07:00

Zyannah took her first steps the other day! She was 9 months and some weeks! Way to go Sweetie Pie!!!

I made the flower barretts that are in Jennah's hair. She loves them so I made about 5 different ones. I think she has flowers for all of her outfits now. She even begs to wear them with her pajamas. She's so funny.

I Love To Decorate

2008-10-14T16:58:00.001-07:00

Anyone who knows me knows that I love to decorate. I like to try new things and just make things look pretty. Here are some of the decorations I have done in our house. I like to change it up once-in-a-while so it may look different next time!

When I started painting my kitchen I did not know what to expect from such a bright color, but it turned out okay. My husand did not freak out at least!

Jeremy wrote the poem that is on the wall. He is such a great artist. A hidden talent that I didn't really know about until recently. He hates his poem being on the wall for people to read. I am just too proud of him to take it down.

Messy Faces

2008-10-14T16:51:00.000-07:00

My kiddos love to eat! They show it in these pictures, that's for sure!!!

I Love My Family

A picture of Zyannah when we went to Globe-Miami to visit my mom

Jeremy and the girls playing in the grass at Bash-Be-Gowa (or however you spell it...)

Zyannah posing for me in the grass. Such a cutie pie

Jeremy would love it if our girls could be in afros all of the time. I like to fix Jennah's hair, so this is a rare occassion of her sporting the fro.

Don't cry Jeremy, it's just one picture....

Jennah, year round, will come up to me and say, "Mommy, chicken suit." So I get the chicken suit out and she loves wearing it around the house. She saw that I had a little outfit for her sister as well, so she asked that I put her sister in the suit. My girls, despite the temperature of 112 outside, wore their chicken and lion suits around the house. Gotta love it!

Here's Zy wearing her sister's fairy outfit

My Little Fairy

Sisters. I love that they get along so famously

Zyannah always grabs for the camera when I am taking pictures of her

A picture of Jennah at church. She had spent the night with her Aunty the night before. Her Aunt did her hair and put those pretty little barretts in it.

Zyannah threw a fit before she finally went to sleep. After she was quiet awhile, I went in to check on her and tuck her in. I found her passed out in the corner of her crib sitting up. It was hilarious.

Jeremy's Class of 1998 Reunion

2008-10-14T15:00:00.000-07:00

I went with my husband to his 10 year class reunion for Apache Junction High School. We had a really good time. It was nice meeting friends of his from High School. Everyone was really friendly. AJ lost their football game, but somehow we picked up and made it through the night.....

Jeremy and Rendall. Friends 'till the end

My 27th Birthday

2008-10-14T14:17:00.000-07:00

I had a great birthday. I am okay with turning 27 years old. It's not like I have a choice in the matter anyway. It is going to happen. I will enjoy the last years in my twenties. I will try anyway...

My prinipal got me a cake for my birthday. It is a Tinkerbell cake. I saw it in my office and couldn't stop laughing. Thanks Tammy!!!!! Below is a close-up of it...

Nice Cake

A lady at work made me a fortune cookie and it has a fortune in it! She made it smaller for me because I'm on a diet. She makes even bigger ones and they are huge. I enjoyed eating my fortune cookie. It was quite chocolaty and delicious.

I bought flowers for Jeremy the day before my birthday because he deserved them and is such a great guy. Guys like flowers too.

LOOK BELOW:

I was so excited!!!! I went into the shower and when I came out, this box was sitting on the counter. I screamed and ran into the bedroom where Jer was so I could open it. It was a Tiffany's ring. SWEET!!!! Thank you Jeremy for my birthday present. It's freakin' AWESOME.

We went and ate dinner at Chili's with the girls. I love my baby back baby back baby back, I love my baby back baby back baby back......

ASU Football

2008-10-14T13:51:00.000-07:00

Jeremy and I went to an ASU football game with some friends of ours to watch their brother play. John Hargis-#59 (You can see him on the field with the look of "kill" in his eyes...just kidding John) My husband has known him for years because we all go to the same church. He is a really nice guy and keeps it real. We love you John! GO ASU!!!!

John Hargis and me tossing up ASU signs

Having been a band member myself back in the day, I just love watching the ASU band do their thing!!!!! GO ASU BAND!!!!!!!

We love getting away and going to games

Don't mess with us. We're cool.

Colorado Trip-August 2008

2008-10-14T13:15:00.000-07:00

My Grandfather and Grandma N'Jameh went to Colorado for the Democratic National Convention, so we decided to go and visit them before the convention started. My grandpa lives in The Gambia, West Africa, so it is not often that we get to see him. He got to see his two great-grandchildren for the first time. It was such a great weekend up there. I am glad we went. Jeremy was really excited that he got to finally meet my grandfather. He had been wanting to go to Africa to meet him. Hopefully we get the chance to go there one day and visit again.

South Dakota Trip-Summer 2008

2008-10-14T11:23:00.000-07:00

We took a trip to South Dakota because Jeremy's Grandfather was sick and was failing quickly. Jeremy, the kids and I left Arizona and got there in the middle of the night. We were going to visit him in the morning but Jeremy's mom came in and told us that he passed at like two o'clock in the morning. We were sad we didn't get to see him but knew he was happy to be at rest. We stayed almost a week and got to see family and all of the second cousins that we had not had a chance to see yet. It was a sad and good trip all at the same time.

This picture is of Jeremy, Audrey, Shannon and Trace. Trace watched these three when they were little babies. I believe that was about 26 years ago!!! She is dear to the Lee's hearts.

Here is a picture of Trace with our girls. We are so happy to have a picture of this moment in time.

Trace holding Zyannah

This picture was about impossible to take! Everyone had their cameras out and tried to get a good shot of all of the second cousins but they were Everywhere!!!! Every single shot came out blurry. Some of the babies are being choked, some are not being held on to tightly, one wants to leave the picture... Ha ha ha. Good times.

This little monster (the Komodo Dragon, not the kid) is a terror. There was a story on top of it's cage that said it ate some men and left only their glasses. YIKES!!!! And I let my daughter stand next to it...

It was so cool to see An American Bald Eagle face to face. This one was hurt so it was being taken care of.

Such a lovely bird

Jeremy took us to Bear Country. We drove around and got to see animals out in the "wild." We got to the bear part and Jennah had a blast seeing all of the bears walking around. Some passed us on the sides of the car, one sat in front of us and would not let us by. It was really neat.

These donkeys we saw in the wild. They don't belong to anyone, they just walk around and graze all day. They were friendly. Some stuck their heads in people's windows and ate whatever was given to them. You should have seen Jeremy. He was so excited to see the wild! He kept cracking me up.

Another one of Jeremy's personal favorites on the trip.

Zyannah touching a flower

This turtle was about 130 years old. My sister Abigail said, "Just think about what it's seen. I mean it practically walked the earth with Jefferson and the boys. Made it through the Great Depression...took some serious determination. Saw us land on the moon, saw the end of the cold war, the Holocaust, rap music, the rise and fall of socialism, World War I, World War II, saw summer olympics come and go, saw winter olympics come and go. Was around when the Knicks were good. Saw the NKOTB come and go. Was a fan of Bing Crosby and Usher." HA! Thank you for the words Abigail.

Again, I stick my child near DANGER.

Here are Jeremy and Zyannah with Crazy Horse in the background. I thought the entire exhibit of Crazy Horse was the coolest! A man started the project years ago, died, and now his family is continuing on his efforts. It is going to take years to complete but it is so cool to see the progress.

Jeremy and I posing by a lake

Zyannah discovered herself in the mirror. We got a ton of pictures of her kissing herself and patting herself. Very cute.

Here are Jeremy, Jennah, and Zyannah standing in front of the house Jeremy grew up in. He didn't want to disturb the new home owners to take this picture but I made him. Pictures are memories.

Jennah's Second Birthday

2008-10-14T11:01:00.000-07:00

Since Jeremy and Jennah's birthdays are a day apart, and Jeremy had just graduated from U of P, I decided to have a combo party. It was a Jeremy and Jennah birthday/graduation party. A ton of people came and we had a great time. Jeremy made the best ribs ever and some steak. The company and food were great! Below you will see a cake that I attempted to make from scratch. It was my own recipe and I should have probably tried to perfect it before trying it on all of my party guests. Everyone said it was good though, so if they were telling the truth that was a relief. I made two fudge brownies, added icecream in the middle and then poured a chocolate ganache over the top of EVERYTHING. I tasted it and thought it wasn't that bad.

2008-10-13T14:25:00.000-07:00

Jennah slept in on her birthday

Jeremy, his mom and sister had their own little birthday in the corner for Jeremy. Ha ha ha. I thought it was so funny. I turned around and saw him blowing candles. I was like, "What is he doing?" then found out his mom made a cake and they were celebrating. Jeremy gets jipped every year now because of Jennah's birthday. Their birthdays are Jeremy the 28th, Jennah the 29th and Jeremy's mom is the 30th. So Jennah gets all of the parties now. Poor Jeremy...

Jennah is not exactly sure about what she should be doing with those hot sticks....

The princess wearing her light up crown.

Happy Birthday Girlie

This picture cracks me up! She can't get the shirt off of her head, but the eyes are so funny.

Jennah loved all of the presents she got for her birthday. She loved all of the toys and I loved all of the clothes. Thank you to everyone for all of the presents!!!

Jennah eventually got tired and left me hangin'

Michaela's Graduation

2008-10-13T13:58:00.000-07:00

Let me just begin by telling my brother that I am so sorry I did not blog about his graduation: Sterling, I am sorry! The reason I did not do so is because I was sick in the hospital with my first pregnancy. He knows I felt so badly about it. If I wasn't sick and puking my guts out you know I would have been there. I am so sad I missed it. I don't even have any pictures!!!! AAAGGGHHH!! He graduated May of 2006 and was Valedictorian of his class. Sterling is attending U of A. Well, Michaela graduated from Miami High School on May 25, 2007. She was Valedictorian of her class. We are all so very proud of her. Way to go Michaela. God bless you at U of A.

Learning to Walk-May 2007

2008-10-13T13:51:00.000-07:00

Jennah is learning to walk. She takes a few steps away from the coffee table and then holds on to it again. The other day she actually took her first steps. I am pretty sure that in about two weeks she will be walking! Go Jennah!

First Time Swimming-Summer 2007

2008-10-13T13:43:00.000-07:00

Jennah is scared to death

of being in the water right now.

It's funny because when I try to take

her out of the tub she screams to

stay in longer. We put her in the

pool and she held on to her daddy

for dear life. It was comical.

Poor baby. I hope she will love

swimming one day.

Getting into Trouble

2008-10-13T13:34:00.000-07:00

Jennah loves to get into
EVERYTHING right now, she

has learned how to open all of

the drawers and cabinets. She

loves playing with my trashbags,

diaper bag, nail kit, and with my

pots and pans. Have fun girlie!!!

2008-10-11T11:10:00.000-07:00

Jennah got sick with a bladder infection when she was 6 months old. I cried a ton being a first time mother and all. It was hard to see my little baby in pain. We stayed at the Children's Hospital on Dobson about 3 days and had a lot of tests run. Jennah got better and better and then we were finally released to go home. It was so nice to be over with all of it. Jennah's doing great now and getting into everything again!!!! I'm so glad.

Jeremy and I tried to get pregnant and it took about a year. I started to get frustrated, but he reminded me to wait on the Lord and he would give us a child in his perfect timing. He was right!!! Jennah Love was born on June 29, 2006. We were so excited the Lord bless us with a child. We are going to do our best to raise her up to love the Lord and serve him. Welcome Jennah!

2008-10-10T16:04:00.000-07:00

Jeremy and I met at a camp on October 13, 2001. It was XA retreat in Prescott, Arizona. When I saw him I thought he was the hottest man alive. We exchanged info and he wrote me before I got home! We hung out for about a month, and then he asked me to be his girlfriend on November 12, 2001. We dated about a year and a half and then he asked me to marry him on May 2, 2003. I said YES and then we eloped on July 11, 2003. On June 12, 2004 we got "married" again and had a church ceremony. We have so much fun together. Life is great and we hope to be married another 50 + years!!!!!

Established: July 11, 2003
