Father's Day 2010

Joe was treated like a king on his second Father's Day! He selpt in and then woke up to blueberry and strawberry pancakes, spent an afternoon at the river with his family, took a nap and enjoyed a chocolate chip cookie and hot fudge sundae for dessert! That's his perfect day:)

Happy Father's Day!

Wow, how things change in a year!! This is Jensen and Joe from Father's Day last year! We've began a tradition of spending the afternoon at the river with Jensen and Bailey. Apparently Joe has also started the tradition of wearing his Braves t-shirt each year too!

This year Jensen was really able to have fun, move around and play!
He loved the water and watching all the DOGGIES play!


One of Joe's favorite spots on the river...A great place for Bailey to run and play with other dogs and Jensen to play by the water!

Jensen is explaining how he created this masterpiece!

Jensen is 15 months old!

A day after our third wedding anniversary, Jensen turns 15 months! Wow, we've seen so much development throughout the past month!

He took his FIRST STEPS on June 15th! YEAHHH! He took about 3 steps and then squatted back down to use the more efficient method of crawling. J-pa was in town and got to see it. He's pretty proud of himself and so excited when he does it! Who knows, it could be another month of steps before he actually starts walking?? Or maybe he'll just get up and start walking soon???

His "vocabulary" is continuing to increase...More, ball, doggy, Mama, Daddy, nana (banana) and book. He recognizes a lot more than he can verbalize....such a fun process to watch grow!

Knock on wood, I think we've taken care of the lactose intolerance issue. After 3 full months of digestive issues, on and off dairy, visiting specialists, etc., it seems as though Jensen may finally be able to indulge in pizza, grilled cheese and ice cream:) We've slowly started reintroducing dairy...and so far, so good! Pray this continues!

Here are a few different pics and a video of our little book worm:)


" So big!"

Kate's 2nd birthday party

I LOVE this little face :)

He can't get enough of books right now!

All BOY!

Be sure you have the volume turned up for this video! It is HILARIOUS! Jensen had been saying "mama" all night and when he says it, he sounds like Cookie Monster and almost like he might eat me! So I was trying to capture it on video...Instead I got this classic boy moment :)

The Jensen & Elle Weekend!

Cara & Elle came to spend the weekend with us while Andy is on a mission trip in Kenya. We had the BEST weekend! We enjoyed MNO (Mom's Night Out) with some other neighborhood moms on Thursday night, did some yard sale shopping, went to the pool, ate delicious food and ran around after Jensen & Elle A LOT!! On Saturday, we had a great morning on our neighbor's boat. It's been so hot here so it felt great to jump in the water and cool off!

Jensen & Elle had their sibling-type squabbles, but by the end of the weekend Jensen was saying Elle's name and Elle was sad to go home! Here's a cute little video of them playing!

Frustration with the lion!

This is hilarious! Jensen has started walking with his lion, but he gets so frustrated when he hits a road block! He can't figure out how to get around the rug, couch or door and that makes him MAD! Here are a few little videos!
