Some of our friends

It was an amazing and exciting day! We are so blessed to have so many people supporting and loving us in our parenting endeavors. I am constantly amazed that God has in trusted us with this child to raise him up in the way that he should go... what a huge responsibility and an incredible blessing.

A few fun May pics

Time with Family in Iowa

Though going to Iowa for Grandpas funeral was an extremely sad event, it was, as always, amazing to see our family. This was Augusts first trip to Iowa since being born and he finally got to meet the incredible family he has there!

Here he is with his Grammy Sue

Breakfast time with the fam

Good bye Grandpa Berrnie

The beginning of May brought with it the passing of Grandpa McKinley. He was an amazing man who loved his God, his Family and his Country. Words can not describe how much he is missed!

April

Here are some pictures from April...

Easter!

We had a wonderful easter going to church and spending time with family and friends! Here are a few pics of the little dude on his first easter...

March

March was an amazing month for us...

Andy got a new amazing job and is loving the nicer weather for fishing, skate boarding, biking etc

I am now getting to stay home with August more which is where I am supposed to be. Plus I am getting to do more in the birthing community here. Words can not express how blessed I feel! And on top of all that Andy and I are getting to have more date nights!

Here we are going out to see our friend Thomas play and to go to an art show opening!

August is doing great-growing up so fast! He cut his first tooth, learned how to wave and is loving life!

Here he is taking a picture for his myspace

just being cute

We went to the Pregnancy Center's fundraiser which was western theme so August dressed the part.

We also finally took August swimming!

He loved it!

Lastly, here he is brushing his tooth! Good dental hygiene starts early.
