Memorial Day

 Como Park

 With cousins

 Then, off to Nelson's for some icecream.

Really long line.

Daddy and the girls were patient.

See them almost at the front of the line?

 Asher waiting.

 Asher and Mommy waiting.

 Gabe.

He melts my heart.

This is Jesse's cap, but this weekend he had to wear the ball cap.

 

 Finally, it is time for a treat!

 First lick...

 Lots of dripping, yummy goodness...

 This is the child size.

 Our chicks moved into their new home this weekend.

The coop still needs a coat of paint, but they don't seem to mind.

Love you...more!

 Happy 10th Anniversary!

We were blessed with a date night.  

Dinner at the White Horse. 

An oh so scrumptious meal 

and conversation filled with memories.

We also had a blast watching wedding videos today.

The littles thought it was so much fun and 

Gabe loved the part where we painted

each others faces with frosting.

I wish you could have heard his laugh.

Time flies when you are having fun!

Enjoying today and looking forward to an extended time to celebrate 

our anniversary in the fall when our little one is a bit older.

10 Years

Today we celebrate 10 years of marriage.

My husband, my favorite, my man for this journey.

I will always be by your side

as your helpmeet for life.

The Lord has blessed us, indeed.

Thank you for promising me your forever love.

I love you more today than yesterday, 

but only half as much as tomorrow.

May the Lord give us many more tomorrows

as husband and wife.

Happy Anniversary!

It always makes me smile.

Chicks...

 A new adventure.

Some for laying and some for eating.

The kids are so excited.

They are responsible for feeding the chicks.

Jesse built a coop this past weekend.

He just needs to put up the fencing.

Mother's Day 2012

 So adorable!

 Asher and Mommy on Mother's Day

So blessed by these little people.

Don't Miss This

Working At Grandpa and Grandma's

 A busy weekend up in the trees.

A new adventure for Jesse.

Daddy's little helper.

Outdoors!

 Helping Daddy till up the garden and move some dirt.

 Making mud bricks like the Hebrews had to in Egypt.

(That is the caption the girls wanted me to add.)

 Catching moths and butterflies.

This is by far Hadassah's favorite thing to do.

Gabe took this picture of his "soccer". 

6 weeks!

Asher Obadiah is 6 weeks old!

13 pounds 5 ounces

23 1/2 inches long

 

He is a wonderful little one with lots of smiles to share.

We love you, Asher!

I think Grace and Hadassah might like these and they would especially like that they can ride on horses.
