Water, water everywhere!

My child is in love with the water! He is happy out of the water, but put him in the tub or a swimming pool and he goes to town. He could literally play in the bath tub for hours. I have to take him out once he has splashed ALL the water from the tub onto the floor or all over me. He thinks splashing is pretty funny! Andrew and I both love the water, so it fits in great with all our summer plans.

Wyatt and I have also been going to a Water Babies class through the city of Richardson. It is a 10 day class and they teach the babies to be comfortable in the water. Since Wyatt was already overly comfortable, he took to the "skills" with no problem. I am in the water with him and it is so fun to see him get excited when we sing a song or go under the water. YES... Wyatt goes under and comes up smiling! He has even learned to blow bubbles, it is great! The teacher has taught us safety skills and I have shown him where the SAFE PART of the pool is. Wyatt even was dipped under the water, let go and came up practically on him own. ( No I am not a crazy mom... the teacher guided us to do this and I was right next to him. The whole thing was about 5 seconds!) I am happy that he is not afraid. To be honest, some of the kids are screaming at the top of their lungs, and some of the mom's are to afraid to even try the skills. I want Wyatt to know that the water is not scary, and to trust that I am not going to do anything that will hurt him. He has taken to it wonderfully, and I look forward to keeping up swim classes until he is older and can swim on his own! Yeah for summer and pool time.

Wyatt thinks it is pretty cool to splash himself, me, and all the other parents and children that come near him! I have a feeling I have a joke-ster on my hands! ;) I don't have any pictures from class, but hopefully Friday Andrew will come and get a few of us in the pool!

Father's Day!

I could write for pages and pages about this wonderful man. My husband is amazing! It was such a great Father's Day, one that we will always remember. Wyatt is saying Da-Da on a regular basis and watching him and Andrew play together brings me so much joy. I know Andrew will lead Wyatt in the way of the Lord as he has already led our family in that direction. Thank you babe for being such a strength in our family. Thank you for loving the Lord with all of your heart and only relying on Him. Wyatt and I love you MORE..... ;)

Jesus... Mascot or Master? Beach Camp 2009

Church camp this year was amazing! Andrew and I came home totally exhausted, but overwhelmed with how wonderful our Lord and Savior is. He is constantly teaching us and reaffirming the fact that we love and are supposed to work with youth. It is a blast to hang out with them, be silly with them, weep with them and watch them grow in the their walks with the Lord. We are blessed to be able to serve under such amazing staff at The Heights and love that our family gets to serve the youth together. Here is a slide show of Panama City, Florida Beach Camp 2009! Enjoy!!!

2 Years and Counting!

Happy Anniversary to us! We have been married 2 years yesterday, 6-9-09! Wow, it is crazy that is has been two years already. I still remember every detail of planning my wedding. It is neat to think back two years ago at how different we were as a couple. The Lord has grown us into one. I am in awe at how He has changed our lives and the two of us. We fully give our ourselves to him daily and trust that He will provide. We do not worry or stress because we know that ultimately God is in control. It is amazing to have this feeling of peace. I thank the Lord daily for giving me a loving husband, one who goes to the Lord for all the decisions in our lives. I am blessed and cannot say enough about what kind of husband and father he has become. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world. We have so much to be thankful for. We have been given a beautiful baby boy, a house, and wonderful friends and family. The last two years have been amazing and I look forward to growing together as a family under the protection and direction of the Lord. Happy Anniversary Babe!
Eating at a nice restaurant in the Gaylord.


The view from our room. The Gaylord is amazing. You never have to leave, one stop shop. It has food, entertainment, a pool, spa and so much more! I recommend it to everyone. It was a great weekend with Andrew, very relaxing and much needed! I love my husband and am so happy to say the last 2 years have been wonderful. I cannot wait for many more to come! ;)

Race for the Cure... Get Your PINK On!

Wyatt enjoying his first taste of this frozen treat. He LOVED it!!!
Right after the 5k at the Plains Capital Bank Booth. ( Andrew's work)

He is such a little stinker!

Worn out....

Our family woke up last Saturday morning and went to Race for the Cure. It was really fun. Wyatt rode in the jogging stroller and talked, laughed and smiled the whole way. He loves to be outside. Andrew's parents joined us for the race, and one of my best friends Kelan came along as well. It was such a pretty morning, there was even a nice breeze which made it so much better. It felt good to be out there walking with tons of survivors. I had the desire several times to hug some of the women I saw walking, knowing they are still battling cancer or have just beat it. My mom passed of breast cancer 3 years ago this last January. It is crazy that it has been 3 years already. But it seems like I just saw her the other day. I love supporting such a great cause, and walking with other women as they struggle through such a hard time in their lives. Our family will always support breast cancer research, I know my mom would want us out there fighting to save lives. We walked in honor of my mom and her life, but we also walked in hopes to save many lives.

I want Wyatt to know my mom and honestly some of the best times I remember with my mom were the talks we had while she was sick. Stripped of health, weight and hair, and bearing all of herself to me. Breast Cancer was apart of the last 7 years of her life and one day I want Wyatt to know how she handled this battle with so much Grace. She would have loved our little man with all her heart, and Wyatt would have loved his Grandma. She loved the Lord with all her soul and if Wyatt takes anything away from her life, I hope it is that he loves our Jesus as much as she did.

Go Race for the Cure!!! ;)
