What Fun!

Benny, 4 months old

Jumpin'

Benny is 4 months old now! He's growing so fast and getting even more handsome every day. At his 4 month checkup he was 15 pounds and 24 and 3/4 inches long. It puts him at just below the 50th percentile for both height and weight. He's growing perfectly!

This month has been a bunch of fun!

-He has sat up by himself in the boppy
-He had his first taste of solid food
-He kicks and waves his arms all them time, especially when he's excited
-He loves his little monkey toy
-He just started jumping in the jumper and LOVES it!
-He laughs when he's tickled
-He scoots around his crib
-He loves to suck on everything he can
-He's more and more smiley

Lily had the chance to go to Vacation Bible School at Our Saviors Lutheran Church right here in Roy. The theme was a High Sea's Adventure and the church did such a good job decorating the church to look like a ship. Since Lily isn't really used to being left anywhere, I decided that this would be a good opportunity for her to see what it would be like. But she didn't do very well so I ended up staying and tried to help out as much as possible with a baby in my arms. She did really well and met a few very nice friends. We'll definitely make it a regular thing for us, and may attend that church in the future.

Green grassiness

I am in love with summer. My favorite summer things:
-the green in the trees and grass
-the amazing sunsets
-the earth-rumblin' thunderstorms
-grillin' outside
-playing in the water
-blowing bubbles
-sunshine, flowers
-flip flops
-summer festivals
-hiking
-playing at the park
-birds singing

I could go on and on.
Sigh....
Happy first day of summer!

3 years

3 years ago I married my best friend. Times have been tough, they've been sweet, and full of laughter and some tears. Our wedding day was perfect, surrounded by family and friends we got to celebrate our love. Things just keep getting better.

Our wedding day

Tender love

Our family, finally official

I'll never forget when we first met. We were so young and in love, and now it's definitely grown into something amazing.
The beginning

I'm so happy that I met Brian 8 years ago and I'm so proud to be his wife and the mother of his children. Not many people are lucky enough to find their spouse at such a young age. I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with Brian. I love you Brian! Happy Anniversary!
