We have a baby, where?

Here are some pictures of Christian from 7-8 months old. Life must be rolling along at a much faster pace, because this baby boy of ours is growing up over night! I wanted so much to record his growth every month but the summer is getting away from me. Here are some cute new things about our bubby-boy:

1. He has learned how to do some yoga moves-he can do "plank", and "downward dog".
2. He has an impressive vocabulary- ba,da,ma,ya,na.
3. He has cut another tooth on the bottom and almost has his upper right front tooth.
4. He would eat oatmeal with bananas and strawberry yogurt every day for every meal if he could.
5. He loves to be outside on the grass watching the kids play.
6. He is not afraid of splashing and getting all wet at the swimming pool, he put his face under the water and it hardly phased him (his mom freaked out a bit).
7. This past Sunday at church he officially moved two crawling steps across the floor-Yea!

Happy 12th Anniversary! (Saturday, June 27)

I have loved every minute of the past 12 years! Curtis has been the perfect husband for me. We have had quite the adventure with a few struggles along the way, but we wouldn't trade any of it. We are so grateful for the children we have and for our families we share. We didn't feel like going away this year, since I was gone for a week; I just felt like being home. We went swimming and then Curtis and I went to see Transformers 2. If any of you are considering this movie-beware! I noticed quite a few people there with their children and I would have died if my kids were at that movie. I just don't understand why women are portrayed in such a sleezy manner these days! I am so glad I have a husband that treats me with respect and teaches Kemp to respect women as well. My girls are so forthright about modesty and treating their bodies like a temple. I know the Gospel of Jesus Christ makes it so much easier to raise children and helps us to be more successful as parents. When I was a little girl I always thought to myself-"Will I really want to marry someone for eternity?" I think of that question and now I can't really imagine anything but eternity with my husband and children. Happy Anniversary-Loverboy!

summertime!

Wow! Summer has been crazy, I just got finished with being Girl's Camp Director, and my mom helped take care of the children, HUGE thanks to my awesome mother. Then I got back and my mom received the news that her oldest sister Jerry had passed away in her sleep. So she is in Minnesota this week and I am helping to take care of my dad while she is gone. Camp was so much fun, I felt like a young woman all over again. Those of you who read my blog and went to girl's camp with me as a youth-no I did not do all the same crazy things!
