My Little Man, Is Getting So Big

So today Isaac had is first taste of Cheerios! He loved them and knew exactly what to do with them.
The Second Pictures are of Isaac pulling down toys. He loves to pull toys off the shelves!

Hood To Coast, and a few other things....

Last weekend, Luke ran Hood to Coast for the first time. He really enjoyed the weekend, and wants to participate again next year. Isaac and I went down to meet him at the beach and watch his team cross the finish line. Seaside was packed with people, but it was a very fun day. I hope to run next year on a team, as well.

Two weekends ago, we had Isaac and Olivia dedicated at Church. We don't have any pictures of the dedication, but we did take a few shots of all of the kids before we left for Church.

Isaac is now 6 months old! I have no idea how, but the time has gone so quickly. I am savoring the baby stage with him a little more than I did with the girls. He is now crawling, and goes just about were ever he can. He really loves to pull toys off the bottom shelves in the toy room. We continue to feel very blessed in this current stage of life. We may be busier, exhausted, and running on auto pilot, but God had truly blessed us with our all of our children! I hope that I will be blogging more over the next few weeks. We have a big event coming up; Morgans first day of School. Thats right, in two weeks, she will be starting preschool!

Sisters

Yesterday, the girls played together wonderfully. I snapped a few pictures of them out in the back yard, they had set up a picnic for lunch. It also made me think about how much I love my sisters! When we were younger we had our differences, I don't know if my mother would call them that, but that is what I am saying. Now that we are all adults, we get along wonderfully, I can tell my sisters pretty much anything, and know that they aren't going to say anything to anyone else. It's a great gift to have a sister, whether a biological sister, or a best friend that has become a sister. I hope that years from know my girls are not only sisters but best friends. I also hope they know how lucky they are to have each other.

Birthday Parties, Business Trips, and a 1/2 broken camera!

I think the past few weeks I have been on a camera strike. I have found myself not wanting to take pictures, and also not bring the camera to events that I normally would. I don't know why I have been doing this but I have. It might have something to do with the fact that while we were camping I dropped the camera while we were on a hike. It hit the ground pretty hard, and while it still works, it has to be babied. The lens cover is also now missing and the zoom is sketchy at best. I feel so bad about doing this, and I know that we need a new camera, but I really don't want to spend the money on one, we just got the one we have about a year ago. I'm getting all upset again just thinking about it.

On to a happier note, we have been having lots of fun the last few weeks. Luke took a business trip to California and I was left with all three kids for a few days. The time seamed to pass quickly, but I'm very glad to have him home. On the 25th we had a night out with some friends from our care group to celebrate Brian turning 40! If you have never done a Friday night at Greek Cusina and live in the Portland area I would highly recommend it. Then on Thursday Luke, Isaac, and I took in a Portland Beavers Game with friends to celebrate Jason's(Luke's old roommate) birthday. We were in a suite that is at the same level as the baseball field, it was a very fun experience. Oh yea I almost forgot, the summer just wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Washington County Fair. I don't know if I'm getting old, or if the fair is changing, but it just doesn't seem to be the same as I remember it being when I was a kid. But our girls still had fun looking at all of the animals.

I have put up a few pictures, but like I said, I haven't been taking pictures.
