Levi is 4 !!!

Levi in his Fireman outfit! Thanks Grandbeth for the coat, it was the missing link :)

Putting the fire out!

Mater teeth from Grandbeth! Too funny :)

I made a scooter cake for Levi, he loved it :) I have so much fun doing things like this !

Happy Birthday to you LEVI!! We love you!

Opening gifts at the Zoo!

Jax enjoyed a little bit of cake too :)

Nehemiah and Osias joined us with their mommy Arissa. It was fun having good friends with us at the zoo.

Yay a scooter from Omi and Grandpa! Levi was so excited about this!!

He got the hang of it pretty quickly too !

Poor Jackson, being the second baby he rarely gets to be home for both naps...he makes up for it when he can :)

Arissa and I have been friends since the 10th grade! It is fun raising our boys together :)

Grandpa taking a break! It sure was hot at the ZOO!

Nehemiah and Levi had a blast together!

watching the monkeys!

Osias was such a good boy during this long hot day!

Playing peek-a-boo!

Uncle Jonny playing with Jax!

Auntie Anita loving on Jackson! He just loves all this attention :)

my boys in blue

Showing off their muscles :)

A lazy Saturday morning when I realized they were all three wearing blue shorts and of course no shirts, just had to get the camera out :)

Jackson loves to "walk" ! I don't think it will be too much longer before he tries it on his own...

Growing Jackson

Jackson has many faces :)

see his two bottom teeth? His top two are almost out now too!

He smiles with his whole face! I love it!!! Jackson is now 8 months old, crawling everywhere, pulling himself up on the furniture and crying a lot less :) He really enjoys being able to chase after Levi and of course find Mommy wherever she goes....

Grandbeth's visit

Jason's mom came out to visit in June and we had a great time! Levi especially loved all the attention :)

our very own curious George!

sweet baby, especially when he's sleeping ;)

Levi and Grandbeth baking bread!!

admiring their work!

Levi and Jackson are starting to wrestle, although someone (usually Jax) ends up in tears after a couple of minutes :)

Yay for big brothers willing to be the "horsie"!

Jason and Jackson are starting to enjoy eachother much more these days. Much to Mommy's relief ;)

Summer time, and the livin's easy :)

Aven, Levi's best friend, our first baby turned 6 this summer :)

Levi fishing!

Levi's new thing is to be "naked" he thinks he's so cool when running around topless :)

Jax loves to swing!

Fun times

Jax loves to EAT! He is always hungry, quite different from his big brother at this age. Recently he's even been able to eat real food cut up real small, like fruit, cooked veggies, bread and cheese. I love that he can somewhat feed himself now, at least some of the time :)

Little boys everywhere :)

Jackson at 7 months!

So one of my best and oldest friends, Arissa, has two boys almost the same ages as mine :) Nehemiah and Osias get along really well with Levi and Jackson. Arissa and I have so much fun comparing stories and encouraging eachother on those extra rough days. God is so good to give us friends like that. I love you Arissa!

Time for a visit

Cuddly Jackson

Grandpa and Levi looking for chipmunks!

Me and my sisters and goofy Levi!

This post is way overdue...my honorary grandmother came all the way from England for a visit. She was accompanied by her lifelong friend Fred. Bob, her husband passed away last year, it was hard not to see them together, but I am thrilled that he is with the Lord, dancing and praising God!

We had a fun couple of days together at a YMCA cabin, playing cards, chasing my boys and listening to Betty encourage us.

I feel so blessed that she got to meet my sons. I love you Betty, you have been a shining example to me on how to live for Christ and be a godly wife and mother.
