Happy Birthday, Liam!!

Our little 7 pound love is

ONE

today!

Liam is a happy little guy with a smile to melt your heart!

He's quite goofy, especially in the bath tub!

And he loves his brother more than anything!

Happy birthday, Wee-Um!!

We love you!

Here's a video glimpse of our little man at lunch yesterday!!

Turn up the volume!

Opps...a little late!

My parents visited at the end of October...guess I'm a little behind!

I thought I had posted these, but I guess not! Sorry, Grandma and Dandad!

I think the pictures speak for themselves!

We went to Family Fun Night at Grandma and Papa's church.

We had a firefighter and a race car driver with us!

Uncle Dan

Uncle Dan and Bill have been friends for over 15 years!

Dan come to Noah's (river rafting) when he was in Jr. High and Bill was a guide.

They have been friends ever since.

Bill used to hang out with Dan every Tuesday in his single days and now we visit as a family every couple of weeks.

When Dan found out that David had been born,

he wanted to come immediately and was one of David's first visitors.

The boys LOVE going over there, especially David.

He prays for his Uncle Dan to 'be happy and to not hurt'.

Liam gives him loves and smiles.

Uncle Bob is Dan's dad and is another of David's favorite people.

Dan has muscular dystrophy and hasn't been able to

get into his wheel chair for the last few months.

He loves watching the boys play on his bedroom floor

and hears all about cars, trains and helicopters from David.

Uncle Dan is a prayer warrior and has faithfully lifted our family up

since before Bill and I were married.

Please keep Uncle Dan and his family in your prayers.

Happy Birthday, my love!

Today is Bill's birthday and

was complete with family

friends who are family

and silly boys with their BIG puppy!

We went to dinner with Bill's parents and some GREAT friends!

(Thanks for joining us Uncle Chuck, Aunt Colie, and Grandma Pat!)

We didn't get any pictures during dinner,

but when we got home,

the boys had a captive audience

and performed accordingly!!

The big puppy was jumping out at David!

(with help from Daddy!)

That's our happy boy!

Liam and Papa

David named the big puppy, Kee-a

after his favorite dog, Keena!

I am so blessed to not only be married with 2 wonderful boys, but to be married to my best friend! Thank you, Bill, for being my perfect match and the best daddy our boys could need or want.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Firefighter David

A few weeks ago, we went to an open house for a new fire house and training center. David, who loves all things rescue, was in HEAVEN! He was able to climb through the trucks and an ambulance, say hi to all the firefighters, and even see them put out a fire (although he wasn't too excited about all the smoke!)

Last year, we found a firefighter outfit for him at the thrift store. He wore it last year for Halloween and we're so excited it still fits for this year, especially since he's so into firefighting stuff these days!

Love this picture!

Checking something out!

He has the most BEAUTIFUL profile!

Love him!

Summer Update 3 of 3!

We spent two wonderful (but very hot) weeks in Arizona and California with my parents!

Here are a BUNCH of pictures!

David LOVED watching Kung Fu Panda on Dandad's big screen!
This rocking chair was my grandma and granddad's. Now that my granddad is in an assisted living home, my mom and her siblings needed to sell his house. My mom really wanted their rocking chair and had always dreamed of rocking her grandkids in it! Here she is with her cuddler, Liam!
Dandad took David on a train ride in the mall! He was in HEAVEN!

My parents bought an inflatable pool for their boys. David and Liam had a blast!






While in California, we stayed at a time share in Palm Desert. When we were getting packed to leave, Liam fell asleep while cuddling his prayer bear!
My cousin Audrey came out with her boys to swim while we were at the time share. Here's Hayden and David wrestling Bill!

We went to the beach with my uncle Efrain and Aunt Judy, their granddaughter, Stephanie, my brother Rich, and my nephew Jacob (Chris's son)

We went up to Lake Arrowhead to check out some houses that Rich was looking at buying. We also got to spend some time at his house and the boys got to play with his dog, Berlin!

Oh yeah...and Austin came with us! Chris and Eva let him go with Grandma and Dandad for the week and although he missed them, he had such a great time!


We had a wonderful time and can't wait for next summer... :)

The count down begins...my parents will be here in 3 weeks!!
