Fathers Day Weekend

What's for Dinner?? Well take a look.

Rice and corn

So happy

We gave Autumn rice for the first time. She really likes to feed herself so she gets pretty messy at dinner time. After dinner she had to get a bath in the sink. Which she didn't mind at all.

Swimming with friends.

Autumn and Ana

Sunday afternoon we went swimming. Autumn has become quite the water bug. She absolutely loves the water. Daddy is very excited about that.

Fun at MyGym

This past month we signed up Autumn to take a class at MyGym. She really likes it. All the colors, other kids, the music and fun activities. I take her during the week and Tom and I take her on Saturday mornings for a class. Here is some of the fun she had over the past month.

Going on an apple hunt (see Autumn in the pink)

What's in here??

The ball pit

Autumn's favorite, the trampoline!

We hope to sign her up for another class when she is a little older. We really enjoyed this past month.

Four Fabulous Years

Today Tom and I celebrate our 4 year anniversary. Where has the time gone. All I know is it has been absolutely wonderful. Boy have things changed over the years. We now are parents. I never thought that day would come soon enough. But here it is. We love every minute of it. Here is a small glimpse of the past 4 years.

This morning I found this on the table. Twix, my favorite. We haven't decided what we are going to do yet. I think dinner and a movie. Which we haven't done alone in quite a while.

Funny Faces

Last week I watched Ryan for a few hours and he was making the funniest faces. So time for a funny face contest.

ok, ok I know what your thinking. Ryan won.
Way to go funny dude!

Here I was cooking and I set up a baracade so Autumn wouldn't touch the hot oven, but silly me. I underestimated her and she went right under the table to come and find me.

Pics, pics, and more pics..

On Saturday we babysat Ryan and had a birthday party to go to, so he came with us. It was so fun. They are such good babies. Here are the party animals having fun.

On Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays I take Autumn to MyGym to play and she loves it. Here she is on the trompoline.

Swinging in the big swing

Goofy face

Autumn's new favorite game to play: Pick-a-boo
Sorry the pics are in backward order.

Pictures

Here are a few pictures of our past weeks activities. We went to Red Robin with Autumn and she got her first balloon. She loved it.

Autumn got a new activity table so she can pull herself up now. It plays music and has lights. It's great.

Daddy was working outside and Autumn stayed at the door watching for like 15 minutes. She loves to look outside and see Tonka.

We went to the pool with Bekah and Ryan. This was Autumns second time in the water and she loved it (way better then the first time).

Have a blessed weekend.
"Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" Philippians 4:4

Words for Wednesday

Pressed beyond measure; yes, pressed to great length;
Pressed so intensely, beyond my own strength;
Pressed in my body and pressed in my soul,
Pressed in my mind till the dark surges roll.
Pressure from foes, and pressure from dear friends.
Pressure on pressure, till life nearly ends.

Pressed into knowing no helper but God;
Pressed into loving His staff and His rod.
Pressed into liberty where nothing clings;
Pressed into faith for impossible things.
Pressed into living my life for the Lord,
Pressed into living a Christ-life outpoured.

"We were under great pressure,...so that we despaired even of life. ...But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead." 2 Corinthians 1:8-9
