David's 2nd Birthday ~ Pond Pary


~Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday Dear David!
Happy Birthday To You! ~

This weekend we celebrated our sweet boy David's second birthday! We held this exciting event at his favorite place, the pond. With sunshine, water, and all the dirt a boy could get into who could ask for a better place. We had such a fun time swimming and celebrating with friends and family. Our children truly are blessings from the Lord. I just thank God everyday that we have happy and healthy little ones!

Joel decided he would build a sprinkler for the grand event out of PVC pipe. It was a HIT. Our children have the funnest dad on the planet! :) Did I mention he's also the most handsome?

Our little David is such an adventurous little boy. His natural curiosity is so wonderful, but can also be some of the reason he finds himself in trouble. He is always doing things to make us laugh and as you can tell by the photos he has the most ornery grin. I just love his bright blue eyes and sweet kissable cheeks! :) He is going to be a strong leader some day, I am sure of it with his "take control" personality. Joel thinks he is going to be a tattooed Harley rider. As long as he lives his life for our Lord I will be happy with whatever he chooses. Happy birthday sweet boy. We love you bigger than the oceans!

Run Momma Run!


This past weekend I ran my first ever 5K! And I can't wait for the next one. Who would have ever thought I'd say that about running? I know right! I am so thankful to my sweet husband for his support. As I crossed the finish line he was parked right by it blaring "The Final Countdown" from our van. :) I am so grateful as well for all of the sweet encouraging words from my friends/family. I know that 3.1 miles doesn't seem like much, but if the only running you ever did before was errands then it is a great accomplishment! I think Joel is going to run in the next one and he has already informed me he will cheer me on from the finish line. Any takers for babysitting? lol.

Our Father's Day Friend


I hope you all had a wonderful Father's Day and spent time with those wonderful men in your lives. I know we did. Joel is the best daddy to our children. He loves them with zeal. He is so passionate about his role as a father and a spiritual leader. He encourages me to walk closer to the Lord. He is such a wonderful provider and a very loyal man. He is my best friend! I couldn't imagine walking through life with anyone other than him. I thank God for blessing me with such a wonderful husband.

We spent Father's Day swimming at the pond and we found a new friend. That's K holding our special guest. Isn't he brave. Our boys are such adventurers. :) David also held the frog and Jimmy (our nephew) did as well. As for me and Emmy, well lets just say we had fun snuggling under the umbrella! :) Have a great week!

S'more summer fun!


 We have been having such a good time this summer already. Over the weekend our children spent three consecutive days in water. They will be little fish soon! :) We camped over night at Joel's grandparents pond. We went swimming, did some paddle boating, cooked hot dogs and s'mores, and even had a few friends drop by to play. I love camping and always have, it has been something that Joel and I share a love for. Look at how resourceful my wonderful hubby is. In that last picture that bacon/brat contraption was hand crafted. He is wonderful. Pretty sure if he was ever a tribute on the Hunger Games he would win! :) lol.

It is so important to us to create these memories with our children. This time we get to spend with them is precious to me. It won't be long before they are all grown up camping with their own little ones. I cherish it. I try and takes as many pictures as possible; with my camera and my mind.

Kaden and Jimmy were up late talking that night and it was so cute to be able to listen to their conversation. They started telling jokes and they were cracking us up. Some of the jokes went something like this:

Kaden: "Knock, Knock"
Jimmy: "Who's there?"
Kaden: "Frogs"
Jimmy: "Frogs who?"
Kaden: "Frogs that eat mosquitoes."

lol

Jimmy: "Knock, Knock"
Kaden: "Who's  there?"
Jimmy: "Cheese."
Kaden: "Cheese who?"
Jimmy: "Cheese Cake."

These jokes were followed by uncontrollable laughter. Joel and I tried to keep laughing under our breathe so the jokes would keep on coming, but after awhile we couldn't help our selves and burst out in fits. Then we joined in!

Mommy: "Knock, Knock."
K and Jimmy: "Who's there?"
Mommy: "Cow's go."
K and Jimmy: "Cow's go who?"
Mommy: "No silly cows go moo!"

Hope your weekend was just as fun. I know we had a blast. I can't wait for this weekend as I will hopefully be running my first 5K! :) Wish me luck, cuz this girl's gonna need it!
