Finley's 1st Movie & One Really Great Daddy!

We took Finley to her first movie in a theater on Father's Day...Toy Story 3! We loved it and so did she, just delighted, it was SO much fun! She did cry during the loud intense previews before though and said she wanted to go home but had to explain that that wasn't the movie and it would be over soon. She did great, sat SOO still and was just enthralled with every moment. Funny thing is a few days later I overheard her playing pretend with an imaginary someone, (probably Connor) and she said, "Ok, we are gonna go to a movie! The first part will be scary but you just sit still and then you get to watch the real movie!" :)

My kids are so lucky! They have such a great daddy! This was, "ummm, daddy will you put ALL of my hairclips in my hair." Of course it was while they were watching soccer together too! He is so good with them and I love watching him delight in our chidren and teach them! I am just so thankful for such a great husband and father to my kids! Don't want to ever take that for granted... what a huge gift Chris is to my life!

Mobile CD!

Ok, so this video was taken when we were on our beach vacation, been meaning to post it...however, this video is NOTHING like what he is doing now. In the past week Cason has gone into lightning speed...he is crawling fast and PULLING UP ON EVERYTHING...he loves to climb and now suddenly my whole house feels dangerous. OH BOY...these male versions of babies are a whole different deal, aren't they?!?!
Anyway, here is the beginning stage of Cason crawling. It is so cute, kinda like his own version of the worm. He really uses his little toes to push off...I can't believe how fast he is already at 7.5 months old REALLY FAST!

Ahh, the beach!

Finley was so fun to play with, she LOVED the pool and did great on the beach, still has to warm up to the ocean but as the week went on she did get braver. And she made sure to tell everyone she saw all about it. She is certainly not too shy to talk to others...does it all the time! HA!

We just got back from a lovely beach vacation with Grammy & G-Daddy. We were in Seaside, Florida area and had so much fun at the beach with the kids. It was great to just be away and have days filled with swimming, relaxing, playing and eating great food! We LOVED it, what a blessing. Thanks Doug and Pam!!

NEW CAR!!

Hooray...so excited about my new car...to be completely honest this is the EXACT car I have been secretly building online for the last 2 years!!! I LOOOVE IT! I am so thankful for this amazing gift...I had been very patient driving around that dang jeep forever...thanks honey!

This is our good friend, Kirk, the night we got it! I love this picture...he is giving us his best, "What?!? Umm, hell yea!" face! It is fun to have such great friends to share stuff like this with, friends that get as excited as you are for great things in life! BLESSING!!
