Ornery Mason #3

Nick captured this moment when we came home from swimming. (We had only been home for 5 minutes! LOL..) He has actually calmed down quite a bit, but still has his moments! Gotta go for now - he is begging for candy and I'm supposed to be tucking him in! haha...

Four Months old~

My baby girl is 4 months old today! What a sweetie!

#7

Congratulations, Nick!

We just found out that Nick passed his 7th Actuary Exam!

WooHoo! Way to go, babe!

His next exam is November 4th ~ This is a HUGE exam. It is only offered once per year, so it is very important that he passes it on the first try! Say a little prayer! :)

Hilton Head

Two weeks ago, we joined 40 some other people from the AC church and vacationed in Hilton Head, SC. How fun!

Nick, Josh, Ryan

Carter made some new friends, Seth and Blane. They were SO good with him! THANKS GUYS!

Mason was oh so tired!

My lil sweetie!

Our mom, dad, and brother for the week! Thanks for taking us along! Love you all!

Mason preparing to go under...

YAY Mace! Once he learned this, he did it over, and over, and over, and....

Such a happy baby girl!

It was so hot down there that we would put a blanket under Adalynn with an ice pack under it to keep her cool! Worked like a charm! :)

Daddy and his boys - I think the best part of the boys' vacation was having their daddy around 24/7!!!!

Carter and Corinne

I love this ornry picture. He was pouting b/c he didn't want his water wings on...

Family picture minus Joshy...Where were you here??? Surely not sleeping, right? Lol...

We are so blessed!

This was the best I could get...LOL

One of our many trips to Cold Stone...YUM!

We had Lexie and Briggs over for a while. What a sweet group picture! :)

The boys and Brad

We had such a good time. Hopefully we can go back some year!

Five Years

As I started this post out, I was going to post just one formal picture from our wedding day and a recent picture. As I opened our wedding CD - I couldn't resist posting these hilarious shots caught by our photographer! (Disclaimer: they are funny to me - but might be boring to you! lol)

Posing...

Were you really that shocked that I signed?

Jenny wants that bouquet!

Wait a minute, how'd he end up with it?

What a tough man...what am I doing?

Adam, what are you doing?

Goofs..

Our ushers took their jobs very seriously!

CHASE! Is that your tongue? YUCK!

And some special memories ~

Me & my girls!

i love my daddy!

Our moms...

Happy Anniversary, honey! I love you!

What a Joy

I'm feeling overwhelmed with joy as I look at our pictures from the last week. We had a fun filled evening at Brad & Lynn's this week and are looking forward to another fun family evening tonight with the Gerbers!

I also got to watch my full-of-smiles nephew this week! (why is this underlined? can't get rid of it...) It was under yucky circumstances, though...pray for his mom & dad ~ they lost a very loved grandpa this week...

Oh, my sweet, sweet baby girl...She too, is responsible for my overwhelming joy! :)
