Daddy's Helper and Fisherman

Not a lot going on here. The weather has been pretty rainy so we haven't spent much time outside but when it's nice we've been going on bike rides. Jonathan loves riding in the bike trailer! He even fell asleep in it on the ride to town a couple days ago. Here are some random pictures from the past few weeks.

so I tried to upload pictures... it didn't work. I'll try again later.

Shrimping and a haircut

Jonathan really likes to check out the shrimp


This is actually Jonathan's second haircut. My sister cut it the first time but it grew pretty fast. It was tickling his ears and it was getting to be a pain trying to get the food out of it after every meal. Here are before and after pics.

Before - I know you can't see the back where it was starting to curl again but I love this picture so I had to share...

After - Again, you can't see the back but you get the idea.

New Pictures

My dear friend Ashley wants to see pictures. She is so good about keeping up with her blog and I enjoying seeing the pictures of her kids, so I figure its about time that I add some new pictures to my blog. I will add a few here and put a link to the rest that are on my facebook page.



We just bought this boat with my parents in the middle of May. We don't have a name for the boat yet so if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Our Sweet Matthew

Monday, May 17th my water broke and our sweet Matthew Isaac was born into the arms of Jesus. He was a perfect baby with ten tiny fingers and ten tiny toes and looked just perfect. I miss him so much!! Brian and I both have our ups and downs but we're doing okay. It is so comforting to know that we will see Matthew in Heaven someday and that he is safe with the Lord. There is no way I could have made it through this time without my Savior and my wonderful Christian friends.

Jonathan's 1st Birthday

Jonathan just turned one - WOW how time flies!!! We had a little party for him at the church. We have a good time. Jonathan was kind of grumpy until he ate his cake but I think everyone else had fun. It was a barnyard theme and I (and my mom) made the cake. We laughed a lot and I'll probably buy the cake for his next party=). We finished the cake around 12:30 AM and I put the cake in the oven for the night so the cats wouldn't get into it. The next morning I opened the oven to see the barn and the silo had fallen over=( Long story short... we stood the barn back up and fixed it the best we could. Click here to see the pictures from the party.

Here a few things about our little one year old...

He is still is crawling but he will walk across the living room if he is coaxed.

Our New Ticker

I'm sure you've notice the new ticker at the top of the page. We are expecting a new little miracle baby in November. We had an ultrasound yesterday and we were able to see and hear the heartbeat. We are very excited and we feel extremely blessed!!!
