summer fun

Just a few random shots from the past month....June has been more structured with swimming lessons, theatre class, soccer camp, and t-ball. But we still had time for fun times at home with family and friends.....

and some good corn on the cob.

This was a first for Ryan to eat it right off the cob!

A good pose for Father's Day.....

The soccer "First Kicks"crew....

And "Goal"!!!!

Go team Go.... the coaches were from Oxford, England doing "British Soccer Camps" around the US this summer. Ryan's was just one week.

This is his "just scored" pose.....

Fun in the sun and water with buddy, Lukas, from preschool...

Hope you are enjoying the warm weather!

celebrating today

9 wonderful years of marriage to a fabulous man of God

AND

a beautiful 4 yr old little man who asked Jesus into his heart today!

What a day! It started with Ryan lying on the floor this morning. When asked what he was doing, he said "Praying... I want to ask Jesus into my heart." I, of course, said, "well let's do it then. " He even referenced his last night of Vacation Bible School and the lesson about leprosy and said that Jesus will wash away all our sins just like the spots on the man with leprosy... "That's why I want to ask Jesus in my heart... and I want to go to heaven someday. Grandma is there and I can see her, too! "

WOW!!! How much better does it get than that? He was so excited he wanted to call and tell Daddy at work and when we met friends for lunch, it was the first thing he told them too! We will pray his love and faith will grow with each passing day.

Later in the day as we were getting ready for the sitter.... Ryan says to me, "I hope you and Daddy have fun getting married again tonight!" :) We did have a great time celebrating our 9 years of marriage. We have much to be thankful for and we look forward to the years ahead. Have I told you lately how great my husband is? He is known for many of his own personal stereotypes(I'll stay away from those:)!!)... but his heart is huge and the love and grace he pours out on Ryan and me is amazing!

So here's to my two boys today! Love you guys!

Thank you God for the gift of each of them!

happy birthday to you!

Yippee!! Our Hubby and Daddy is 33 !

We love you and thank God for you!

And we started celebrating at 5:45 AM...

Ryan was more excited than Christmas morning, we think, to begin the big day!
