send out a prayer

Please pray for the Bussey family. they lost their sweet baby at only 37 weeks. Unsure why, and i don't know them, but it breaks by heart.
this is sarah's photography website, my friend hannah and her family got beautiful pics taken by sarah a few weeks ago.
I know life is crazy, but we HAVE to stop and be thankful everyday for all of our blessings.

Hot Fun in the Summertime :)

We had the best time in Branson this past week with Cookie, Aunt Becky, and cousins Rachel and William. We went to see the Peter Pan show and it was awesome. We ended our mini vaca at the lake. We start VBS tomorrow and then we go back to the lake for a huge family weekend on thursday. So Crazy Busy, but FUN :)

23 weeks and growing!!

Had my OB appointment today, everything looks great and on schedule. Passed my glucose test, which i am so proud of- that juice you have to drink made my heart really race, but my sugar stayed low :) I have gained 11 pounds so far and Whitney is kicking constantly telling me she is there and everything is fine. My iron is back up Yay!!! I was anemic early on and the iron is working!!!

Fun times with Cookie and Pops!!!

Mary Claire and I spent the day with our Cookie. She had a blast playing in their pool, going to meet Pops for lunch, and just getting to spend time with two of our very very favorite people in the whole wide world!!!

Paul's grandparents are so special to me. They treat me just like their own granddaughter and I really appreciate that so very much. Mary Claire is named after Cookie and that makes us so happy!!!

The Garden and The Gate :)

Picures of Paul and Mary Claire in their garden outside- we are already getting lots of potatoes and we have some tomatoes, but they are still green- yummy can't wait for fresh summer tomatoes. The top pic is of Paul by our new gate that he built. I Love LOve LOVE that he can build and fix just about anything we need. He is a sweet and talented man.
