Beck wants to say "Hi"...

Our little guy had to take a break from his busy baby life to give a hello. We are loving him very much!! He's getting cuter and cuter. I especially adore his lips. Reid enjoys licking him occasionally (maybe just his way of getting as close as he can?) Vara loves to sit near him and kiss him. Mark has been real busy with work, but anytime with him home is a treasure to us.

**I have a couple new things to share as soon as I unload my camera. Until next time!**

..from grandma


For their birthdays, Grandma got the kiddies this set. They love it--we all do! Numerous times a day you'll find them outside together, giggling and playing. Reid has fun spinning on the swings. I love seeing them use their muscles in new ways. Thank you Grandma!

-Happy Birthday to our Girl-

Our little sister is TWO now!!
We had a full day sunday celebrating her and Mark. Im overwhelmed with love and thankfulness for both of them!
After church we went to Vicky and Hal's for a cookout on the porch. Vicky was sweet to make Vara a carrot cake with Agave Nectar-mother approved!
Thank you both for blessing us that day.

Everything is going great! Reid and Vara are nothing but excited. They are very sweet to him and are very helpful. I wish I had more pictures of him and Vara, but no good ones yet.
Mark is very busy filling both our shoes around the house and I am so thankful for him!
Beck is a tanker and doing good with feedings and naps. Praise God for His kindness!
A BIG BIG thank you to Mike and Lori, and my Grandma for sacrificing and loving our babes so well these past few weeks. Thanks to everyone for they're encouragements and prayers leading up to the birth. Also, to those who are caring for us now with food and visits. Mark and I are very grateful for such loving family and friends.

Dr. Foster

Mark and I have been going to Dr.Foster regularly for a while now. She is an amazing chiropractor. Today we went for Reid's first visit, and one last one for me before the baby arrives. While it was my turn, Reid was her helper. She was great with him and he had fun raising and lowering the table. He even "adjusted" my hand while she did my back.
He was excited to get on the table and be "tickled" by her. I was glad he followed her instructions well. She is so helpful to us and I love all the natural advice she offers. We are very thankful to know her.

Due Date.....oh, and Memorial Day, too.

Yes-today is my "due" date, and no baby. Here's how humongous I am. Things are feeling very heavy and we more eager than ever. I have an appointment tomorrow, but hopefully I wont make it. :)


We spemt a great day with Nana and Papa. The kids and I went over there this morning and we all headed for Seashore. We played at the playground, had a picnic, and went for a little hike on the trail. Mark joined us later and we relaxed all afternoon outside.

Here are the kids trying the swing..neither of them were brave enough to stay on long. There are still more good photos of the kiddies and the grandparents I have to get..

Our Rainy Day

(Well, turns out Im posting again before the baby arrives. Its going to be real soon, I just know it!)

Yesterday was very rainy here. The kids and I stayed in and had tons of fun together. Here is our "Rain Cloud" craft. Vara wouldnt look at the camera because "no, I sill paintin". They got so messy so it was straight into the tub. They had a good time painting the shower walls with their messy hands.







Our finished product.

After nap, we sat at the door and watched a huge thunderstorm. Hail began to fall on the porch, so I grabbed one to show the kids. Reid quickly sucked it out of my hand..that began our feast of hail. Taste like snow. :)
The power went out for a few hours so we lit tons of candles. I think that was the best inside day we've ever had to have.
