"I can do it myself"

There once was a boy named Brandan who lived by the motto, "I can do it myself." He did his own hair and then was mad that he got water ALL over his shirt.

Family Pictures

My sister in law was very kind to take some family photos of us. She did such a great job. Thanks Michele you are the BEST!!!!

June/July 2009

A fun summer with no time to blog. I wanted to post these pictures so I would have photo memory of our summer.

This is time spent at Lake Tahoe. Please ignore the girl in her bikini behind Brandan.
Morgan collecting tons of sand.

Logan loving the water.

This is the only picture I had of our visit with the cousins. Like I have said before when my sis in law comes my camera goes out the window. She is the photographer for our family.

Morgan was in a drama camp for a week at Sunrise. She had such a blast. Morgan is a natural on stage just like her Daddy.

Totally fun surprise for Ryan for fathers day and his birthday we took him to American Idol concert. I know totally cheesy, but we had a blast.

4th of July pictures

Can't forget the fun Disneyland trip!!!!!

I guess that wraps up our summer in pictures. I can't believe school starts in two weeks and we still have no idea where we are going to be. As of today we are moving forward in Reno. I keep feeling like the Lord has been truly teaching me to be humble and patient. Ryan and I keep saying we are taking our lives one day at a time.

Where did June go?

Where in the world did June go?
1. Disneyland - Five days in Disneyland with our wonderful kids.
2. Major fun times at Sunrise (Baptist) Community church.
a. Ryan sang a solo a few weeks ago. It was really fun to see him up on the stage where I have seen him sing for so many years.
b. Morgan made the church play for the summer so we have been busy learning lines and music for that.
c. Church picnic. MAJOR HOT 108 but tons of fun!!!!!!! The kids ran around like crazy. Ryan and I just kept telling each other we are miserable but we are making memories.

3. Ryan applied for a job down in Sac two weeks ago. We haven't heard back yet, because the boss down there has been on vacation. It would be such a blessing if the Lord opens the doors down there for us but we will see. I haven't been really patient with this one. I think because I want to move back to Sac so bad that my patients have been really thin.

4. Taking care of a ticket. Seriously it has taken me the whole month of June and it still isn't fixed to take care of a stupid ticket I got. I'll have to post a separate post just ode to the ticket because it is just that long of a story.

So June is gone and July is tomorrow. I am looking forward to July. Friends visiting, and hopefully hearing a go for Sac.

Crazy

I know we say life is busy, but life has seemed really busy lately. I just haven't had anytime to sit down and blog. There have been a few things that I just don't want to forget about.

Morgan received her yellow belt last week in karate. She is so darn cute and it kills me. She wanted to cut her hair again so a-line we did for the girl.

Brandan is crazy as ever. I am still on the fence about what to do with him for school next year. His birthday is the middle of September so he can really go either way. I would love some advice from my teacher friends that read this.

Logan as always you are my little love. You are running around like a mad man and continuing to bless our lives.

We are still praying about what to do with the kids next year for school. Home school again, or back to King's academy. I just haven't had the peace either way yet. I know the Lord will make it very clear, but I would love for him to fly a banner over my house with the answer.

I had to write these little things down or I would forget them. The next few weeks are just as busy so I know my writing will continue to be sparse.

16 Months

Happy 16 months my little man. I'm very sorry I didn't post for your 15th month, but I know you will forgive me. There is actually a reason I didn't post for your 15th month and it was selfish on my part. I didn't want to put into writing that you weren't walking yet. I know, I know everyone kept telling me you would walk soon. So many people told me their own stories of how old their children were when they walked. I really appreciated this advice from others, but you are my little miracle baby who I want to be perfect. You are perfect!!!!!!!
You are definitely walking as of your 16th month. I wouldn't say you are ready to run a marathon but you are a walker.
For your sixteenth month visit you are now in the 3oth percentile for you weight. Praise the Lord for this. The doctor is so wonderful and is impressed by you each time she sees you. She even made a remark last week for you visit, "All the trauma you have suffered definitely has not affected your brain. You are a smart cookie." I love to hear these words from a doctor.
You are my little miracle man and I continue to be in awe of the Lord on how he is allowing me to have such a perfect baby.
