Updates, Updates, Updates

I have been so busy the last two months and have been bad at making the time to blog so I thought that I would do some catching up. I have posted two other blogs about the kids along with this one.
Well we have been doing tons of yard work and have mountains more to do. I think that we are just growing weeds! I have been redoing flower beds as they were over flowing with weeds that I thought that it would be better to just start over. We are also in the proses of taking out our old patio and putting in a new larger one. We have cut down three trees, two over grown lilac bushes gotten rid of a shed and dog kennel. Man we have been hard at it.
I just got done with Vacation Bible School last week. I was so tired by the end of the week but it was all worth it. We raised money for a great mission Vision Beyond Borders and we had 14 kids say that they accepted Christ for the first time. Praise the Lord! I had worked so hard and long on VBS. It was our first one in years. I think that next years will be even bigger and better!! The Lord truly does great things in kids lives at VBS.
We have also had family visiting from out of town and have some good friends coming on the 4th of July. I am hopoing that I will be all recoverd from my tonsilectomy by the time that they come to visit. Yes I have to have surgery on the 29th and I am getting very nervouse about it. I have heard how hard it is for adults to have this surgery. I hope that I feel much better after this is all said and done.
Andy has been hard at work as it is summer and this is his busy time of the year. School is out for the summer and he has to go and do all of the updating and work out all the kinks that they can not work on while school is in session. He will be going to Vegas for two nights with his friend Steve in July while Steve is in town visiting. This just came about the other night as Judy, Steves wife, decided that she was not going to go and leave thier baby. So it looks like Andy is going to take her place and gets to have a fun vacation with his friend with out kids or thier wives around. I have yet to figure out how I get to do this some day!!
I think that that just about does it. It sould be a great summer. That is if we get all of uor yard work done!

Beau Update







Beau is now four months and is growing like crazy. He wants to be mobile so bad, he never sits still! He has been doing everything really early. I think that he is going to give me a run for my money. He smiled for the first time at 3 weeks, started talking at 4 weeks, rolled over at 2 months and mow he is constantly moving. He is always rolling over and scooting himself around. He is also learning to use his hands. He loves to play with rattles and other small toys. He also loves his pacifier now. He did not take on till three months but when he found his thumb I tried it again and it stuck.

Owen update

Owen showing off his big boy underwear!

Owen was telling his underwear to say cheese as I was taking the pictures!

He loves his Thomas the train underwear.

Well Owen is now two and a half years old. I can not believe that he is growing up so fast. He is now mostly all potty trained! Yeah, he started this proses before Beau was born. He was about 20 months and started asking to go potty. I was told not to potty train before I had the baby because most kids regress after the baby is born. Well he was still doing so well that I decided to put him in underwear while I was home on maternity leave. He is doing really well now. He is having a few accidents but most days he is fine. It is so nice to be done with diapers well mostly done, he still wears them to bed.
