Bubbles!

My boys had a great time blowing bubbles outside today. Jacob is the bubble blower and Caleb catches them. They are just so cute!

Caleb says, "come here little fella!"

Shelby got in on some of the action too!

It has been so beautiful here the past few days,

so we are trying to take advantage of this weather.

Pumpkin Carving!

A few pictures from Halloween. I know, I am a little behind. What can I say? We just been having too much fun!

Preschool!

Today Jacob started his first day of preschool! A few tears were shed, and yes they were mostly mine. He did great and can't wait to go back tomorrow.

I seriously can't believe that he is in preschool. It was just yesterday he was my little guy, watching Madison go off to her first day of school. He was so little. Is it really his turn already? Am I really old enough to have two kids in school? (That is what this is really all about! :))

He is my handsome little man, and I couldn't be more excited for him to start this journey. He is going to be great!

I love you buddy!!

Second Grade!

Madison started her first day of second grade today! Seriously? I can't believe she is in second grade already. Isn't she just the cutest thing you have ever seen!? She just jumped on the bus, waved goodbye out the window and off she went!

She is getting so grown up.

We love you Bubba Jo, and we are so proud of you!

Sum Sum Summer Time....

It has been a busy July at our house. We have taken a few mini vacations, played a lot of softball and experienced our first camping trip with a camper. We also celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. (Post to come on that later....)

Summer has come and gone already. It seems so fast this year. I guess when the kids are in school it goes faster.

This is Jacob waiting for a play at his t-ball game.

He LOVED it! He all but sleeps with his gear.

All three kiddos, and our dog Shelby on a hike

during our camping trip.

Jeff's first ever s'more! He can't eat your everyday chocolate bar. I found a very dark chocolate bar without milk in it and he loved it.

It wasn't his last :)

It was Caleb's first too!

Cute kids.....

All three asleep in the hotel....so sweet when they are sleeping!

Madison's swing!

Summer has been fun, but we are all ready for school to start. Bring on the schedule's we are ready!!

Baby Deanna

*Update again ****
Visit coloradokrafts.blogspot.com for a complete story from Jami. Great pictures!


Deanna had a wonderful day yesterday. She is off the vent, just on room temp air through a cannula, off her blood pressure meds, and off pain meds. Jami was able to hold her for the first time yesterday! They also put a cast on her leg to start the correction process of her club foot.
She has a long road ahead of her, but is improving everyday.
Please keep praying for this precious baby girl and her family!

*Update*
Deanna is in the NICU and stable. The doc's still don't know for sure what all is wrong with her, and lots of tests are still being run. Jami is doing well physically and being the most amazing mother that baby could ever ask for.
God is good.
Please pray for this little one, pray for complete healing

Please pray for my dear friend Jami whose baby was born this morning and is very sick. I don't know the details, but I know she needs prayer. The baby's name is Deanna.
