Never would have thought a three year old could sport such an awesome mustache!

Caleb, The Determined.

I caught Caleb just yesterday attempting to pull his knees and feet underneath him so he could scoot forward. His first attempts at crawling! He's just 24 weeks old. This was the second time I have ever seen him do this and was able to get a few moments of it on video. He's not quite sure yet what to do with his arms, but he'll catch on I'm sure. He's a determined little bug. Before you know it, my littlest guy will be all over the place!




I remember the first time Riah started crawling, and I lost him in the house!! After a few moments of panic, we soon after found him playing behind the toilet.

New Mexico by God's grace.

We have been continually in prayer for the past few months for God to give us direction for our family. We have felt God to be moving us, but not sure where. The past months have been a difficult transition period, seeing so many different directions we could just "go!". Patience is not an easy thing for me, especially when it comes to direction. So this time in my life has been especially hard.

Slowly, it has become clear that God is moving us in ONE specific direction. Our desire is to love and serve the Lord wherever we are. Our hope is that we will be able to be God's hands and feet at a Christian Camp in New Mexico. It would be a huge move for us, but God continues to stir our hearts for the center.

We are continuing in prayer that God would continue to confirm this move if that be what he has for us to do. We are very excited about the opportunity and are praying that the doors will continue to pave the way for us to fill the needs that the camp has. It would be a whole different kind of life there, living in the bush!

God is soo big! Excited to be a part of what he is doing down there!

October Family Visit

We were blessed to have our family here over Halloween weekend. My mom was able to fly out thanks to my aunt Dana and Claudine who give so much of lives for her. We are extremely thankful for what they do for my mom. My sister Jess was also able to come out again. We don't ever get to be together ll at one time, so this was a special blessing.



Halloween out on the town for the parade.

Breakfast made by Jesse. How awesome it was to spend this time with my mom and sis. Couldn't ask for anything better to wake up to!



We had one beautiful day in the park without rain. Took full advantage!

My little guys...

Caleb is now 7 weeks, 3 days old. He is beginning to hold his head up very well on his own and has begun trying to push himself up with his hands. I would imagine he is weighing in at over 10 lbs at this point. I'm still waiting for him to give me a big smile while he is AWAKE! They're the moments that bring so much joy...

Sister Weekend

My sister Jessica came to visit from Phoenix, AZ. She stayed with us for 4 days. It was a long-awaited visit, and not long enough! Riah quickly became attached to his favorite aunt, and was sad to see her go. He will never forget who gave him his first soccer ball now that he is going pro! Thanks Aunt Jess!

I loved nothing more than getting some time to spend with my sis! I wish we could live closer to one another. Though it was a short visit, it meant the world to me.

We also had the chance to take some family shots in the park. The weather was fantastic, could not have been better! When we weren't strolling through the park or downtown, we spent our days at the pool lying out while the boys napped.

Overall, it was a great week, minus the lack of sleep Jesse and I were getting. :) We look forward to more family and friends visiting in October! Can't wait!!

Sweet Dreams



Riah got a new firetruck after visiting the fire station with his daddy. Whenever he gets a new toy, he always brings it into bed with him for naptime. Too cute! I couldn't resist :)
