Two year Anniversary!

"I fall down to my knees and pray that my love would be

worthy of the One who gave His life so our love could be."

David and I celebrating our two year anniversary!
We went to a yummy, fancy steak restaurant....it worked out well, David got great food and I got to dress up :-)~

.....by the way, mom and dad, that is a sparkling water bottle on the table:-)

You may wonder why I took a picture of the water....well this is just a little fun tidbit....when you go to a fancy restaurant, don't get the sparkling water....one, it costs a chunk of change(we didn't know) and two, it was pretty gross.....it tasted like old, hot, watered down sprite:-)! Just our opinion:-) So, anyways....the reason for the picture was that we paid for the water and wanted to get our money's worth...so since the taste was a bit dull for us, we took a picture.....atleast it was pretty!

We went for a walk in this park the night we got engaged!

David thinks he's quite the stud.....some things never change!

The night David proposed he took me by this beautiful weeping willow. It was just like in the picture...ducks everywhere and the weather was gorgeous... By the way he was acting I thought surely he was going to ask me to marry me him here.....well, he didn't...he tricked me! But, I still love this tree! It's a pretty little place!
Then we went home, snuggled on the couch, and watched our wedding video!

My husband is so wonderful. God has greatly blessed....and if I must say so myself, David's pretty blessed himself:-) hah!

Our Little Reader?!

John David got in his toy basket and decided to read a book today. I was very proud:-) The book was upside down, but hey, you have to start somewhere!

Wow! It's been a long time since I've been on this thing...We are still alive and kickin', don't worry! The sad thing is I really don't have many good, fun pictures to put up! Here's the reason: Our life has changed! Yep, that's right...totally changed...how you ask?! Well, John David is not only walking, but practically running. So what does that have to do with pictures?! I only have two hands and two feet. I can't run after him, catch him, and take a picture all while holding our things and doing whatever it is we are doing....so that's why there hasn't been pictures in a while. I will take some more soon, I'm sure....and when I do...I'll post them! But for now, You're just stuck with this one measly picture of John David in pants way too small for him! We laughed and laughed when we put these on the little guy....the sad thing is we continue for him to wear these and many like them....I just figure why buy him new ones when he will outgrow them in a week or maybe even a night....plus why change something that just makes mom and dad laugh?! No harm in a little laughter, right?! :-) Anyways....maybe you'll get a kick out of this pic as much as we did! Enjoy!

Good News....

David and I went to the Doctor this week to check on our "littlest"...it was great news! In the Doctor's words, "I think this one is gonna stick!" Isn't God good!?! She said that almost everything looked good and healthy. There was one little thing that we have to keep in check...she said I shouldn't exercise or be too strenuous...just walking for a while. But besides that, everything was on the right track! Thank you guys for all your prayers! We'll keep you updated!

John David also had his one year check up this past week. His reports were all good as well! He is 90% in weight, 90% in head circumference (I'm not sure why they check that), and 95% in height. So, in other words...he's a big ole boy! The Doctor said that the only bad thing was that he was going to be expensive...expensive to feed, expensive to keep changing his growing shoe size, and expensive to buy his hats in the grown up section instead of the baby section:-)~ I guess he's worth it;-) He's such a joy! I think I am even more excited about this little baby inside me because now I truly know what a joy it is to be a mom. What a blessing.

What a man!

I was having some bike trouble and John David came to the rescue!






The wild thing about these pictures is that it wasn't staged...i went to get a water bottle, leaving John David with a couple tools that I was using, I came back to see him working on the bike himself! What a man! Fixing Mom's bike for her!

Birthday Boy!

April 18th, 2007

John David has been with us one entire year! Yah!

Praise God for the joy, protection, and love that he has lavished on us! What a year of precious memories and unforgettable God-sent lessons of His wonderful essence. God's character is flawless. We praise Him for John David's special life...such a blessing! When John David was born we wanted to "give" him a verse for his time under our direction. We pray this over him as we guide him in the light of God's Word.

Psalm 1
"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the

counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of

sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he

meditates day and night. He is like

a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its

fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.

Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked!

They are like chaff that the wind blows away...

For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous..."

He can't wait for his party tonight:-)
He woke up bright and early this morning...a quarter after 6 and ready for a big day of partying!

This Easter was quite the exciting trip...

First we had to play on the coolest backyard swing ever!

Then we went to Build A Bear to celebrate Kali's birthday!
Meet their own little creations....
Then we ended up tired and in the floor at Belk's...trying to make shopping a little more fun....
The Natural Science Center was a highlight! It was a blast!

Then back home....a little relaxation...

...and a little practice for John David...the big brother!

Did I say relaxation??!

The fun never stopped...
Then we woke up to Easter!

Karli, the younger one....she's the life of the party! Her little body must not fool you!

Then back to playing!

Now it's time to celebrate John David's first birthday!

Kase blocked John David's shot....
That's okay...John David recovered!

Cake time....

I think he likes it!
yeah...pretty sure...

He demolished it!

Then we found John David's twin....

We had so much fun.....

Now we're home trying to recover from all the excitement!

Thank you all so much for all of your prayers! God is so good! We went to the doctor today for a second ultrasound to see how things were looking... everything looked great! All of my blood work came back in and the levels were good, the ultrasound looked strong, everything was awesome!! We even got to hear the heartbeat! Praise Him! I'll be due in the end of November....A little Thanksgiving baby! How fitting!

Ps. 139:14…I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
