Busch Gardens

We spent the day at Busch Gardens today. Kelso enjoyed naptime in the stroller and Jayden LOVED meeting a princess!

Memorial Day

Michael took part in a Memorial Day ceremony at the national cemetary. After the ceremony, the Honor Guard marched off and we followed them. When Michael was given the command that he was done, he turned around and we were walking toward him. Jayden saw him and was beside herself and so excited because she wanted to see her daddy. The video captures an incredible moment! As I watched her run to him, I was filled with so many emotions. Emotions connected to the thoughts of the days not too long ago when he was in Iraq. It was touching. My mom and I were talking about it on the way home and she summed it up nicely when she said "I just think of all those children who want to run to their daddy but can't because he never came home. I prayed so many times for Michael to come home safe and he did."

We are blessed to be on the other side of his Iraq duty and should pray always for all the people still over there and for the little girls and boys who would love to run to their daddy's arms but can't.

There are a few other videos from the ceremony that I posted just so everyone could get an idea of what he does with the Honor Guard. Their presentations are always very respcetful and honoring.

TAPS

More of the ceremony and the playing of TAPS. I know these aren't the best quality.

Gun Salute

This is a little shaky but you get the idea!

This performance took place on February 25. Come to think of it. Who did swallow Jonah?

I made this here video today and am very proud of it.

Last night the little boy had his bath and he LOVES his bath as you can tell.

She was supposed to be napping but instead she was hiding inside of her pillow! This was from back in November but I thought it was funny. She's too big to fit inside there now.

B.E.A.

I call these my B.E.A.----Baby Einstein Addicts. They love to watch Baby Einstein!

He loves to jump!

Happy stinkin' Mudder's Day.

Happy Mudder's Day to all da mudders out dere who are reading dis.
The kids have been sick for over 2 weeks and we finally got them back to church! Do you like their matching outfits? His is a little feminine I must admit. This is the best of 5 attempts to get them to look at the camera at the same time. Either way they are PRECIOUS!!!

It's our first one evah.

Since Grandpa, Hezzy, Aunt Amy and Uncle Sam live so far away we thought we'd start a blog so everyone could see these cuties!
