Dylan's First Stitches....

Well, it took until 3 years of age, but he finally got his first stitches! We were up camping and he hit his head while riding the 4-wheeler. His mom felt really bad, and it scared everyone! Dylan, on the other hand was very brave and tough! He cried for about 5 min, and then hardly cried when he got 6 stitches (3 inner, it was pretty deep). He's such a tough man! I hope as his mom I have it in me to be as tough when his next accident occurs.........

All Dressed Up!!

We went to a wedding the other day, so I made everyone get together for a picture. It's not very often you see me in a skirt! Anyway, it came out very cute, what a good lookin' bunch.

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th! We had a great day. We went to breakfast and enjoyed the Parade. The water fight was again so much fun the kids are already plotting next years revenge! As you can see our before and after pictures, we were all drenched. Dylan loved the fire truck and all the candy him and his mom collected. We had a great evening of good food and family.

What a Cute Little Man!

Wow, what an amazing little man! We are truly blessed. He is growing up to be very handsome, watch out girls, he's a charmer too! I just had to post this picture, my pride and joy is over the top!

Adventures!

A Newborn's Conversation With God

A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.

'The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'

Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.''

And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.

''Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.

''But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.'

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

Tessa's Home!

We just want to say how lucky we are to have Tessa back in our home. She moved away for a couple years, but is now back, and she is stuck with us, forever!!! Dylan is thrilled to have his oldest sister back to play with. Even though she's a teenager (scary times :) She is very loving and playful with him. Of course, Deana is still a favorite of Dylan's (sorry Tessa!) and loves to still pick on her to no end! We now have a full house, with lots going on. We love that Tessa decided the best place for her to be was right here, with us-welcome home hon.
