Tower Of America Visit

We have been promising Ethan, um, since his birthday, that we would take him to the Tower. Well here we are, 7 months later, FINALLY going! The boys were SO excited! And to top it off, Grammy and Papa came too! We had a great time, enjoyed looking at the city from up above, and even saw a cool "show". Followed by pizza and ice cream, this was a really fun family day!

 Ok, please excuse my hair. We were in what felt like a wind tunnel!!

 Awesome shades, dude!

Ethan's First Day of 1st Grade

Time for school again! I am so thankful my big boy still wants to take pictures with me! I will be so sad when the day comes and I'll be begging him to spend time with me. He was very excited, as always, to go to school! This year, he gets to go to the playground, and then line up with his class outside their door when the bell rings. Its gonna be a great year!

Getting Out

It seems that we haven't done much the latter half of the summer. The first month we pretty much had something to do everyday. I think that kinda spoiled the kids a bit because as the summer moved on and it got hotter and hotter, we didn't do much outdoors. So on Wednesday we went to the local park and the boys were so giddy! Happy boys makes for a happy mommy!

 

 

Then we had a special day that the boys had been looking forward to for a week: Josh took the day off, Jacob went to spend time with Grammy, and we hit Sea World for our last outing before school. Whats so great about going with daddy and without Jacob is the boys get to ride all the rides! We went with the Gibbins boys and they all had a blast together. And the parents had fun riding the "big" rides in the water park, too!

 



Sportin' The Horns

Such cuteness! I have a picture of all the boys, around this age, in this hat & couldn't help posting some pics of my cute Jacob! He's getting so big!

 

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Wow, its been a long time since we went to a Missions baseball game! Even better, we were given free tickets from a friend!! So fun to go with our best friends and let the children run and have a blast-and not to mention, tire themselves out from all that running! And bonus: its fireworks night!!

 This picture is spotty because my lens was dirty...

 Ready for fireworks!

 Watching the show

 Look who is mesmerized...

 

Celebrating 10 Years

I am so blessed to have this man as my husband. Everyday he shows me the love of Jesus. I love his caring spirit, gentleness, his patience with the boys, the respect he shows others, and his servant heart. We have had ups and downs through the years but God has seen us through them all. I look forward to the memories we have yet to make! 

Jacob's 1st Birthday

Seriously, I can't believe he's one year old already! Even though it felt long, looking back on it, it flew by! He is such a cutie!! (sorry to brag) I had such fun planning his Hungry Caterpillar party and it turned out so cute! We even did a photo shoot with all the different fruits and their days...too cute! Jacob, you bring such sunshine to our life!

 

 

 Made this banner...it was my favorite part of the decor...turned out so cute, I think.

 He loves his new stacking blocks!

 

 

Special thanks to my best friend, Jennifer, who made his cute shirt!! Love you!

Kool Kats

Today we went to Colby's birthday party and came home with some awesome camo sunglasses. The boys were sporting them on the way home! Love!!
