Trip to Wahington

Jess was invited up to Washington to speak at a Jr. High camp. The trip to Coulee Dam was long but the Lord really did a work in the hearts of the kids there. It was fun to see a new place and to meet new people.




At Coulee Dam.

Annella loved the water, even though it was freezing. All she wanted to do was sit on the shoreline and throw rocks.



The traveling proved to be a little challenging for me. Morning sickness along with traveling was hard but I am doing really well compared to my pregnancy with Annella. No Hospital visits yet! It was such a blessing to be able to do ministry with Jess.
Annella was such a trooper. She is a great traveler. We are very lucky to have such an easy going little girl.

It is always nice to be home!

Father's Day

Annella and her Dada and with Grandaddy.

Annella and cousin Dustin. He is holding her hand so she won't fall down.

We spent Father's Day at Shorline park with my family where we announced the news of the new baby. Everybody was pretty shocked but excited for us.

A Baby on the Way?

YUMM! Veggie Bootie!

Annella is so cute!!

What a ham!
















Annella has been cracking us up latley! Last night she ate the biggest dinner ever, all while putting on a show for Jess and I. She managed to get both legs between her and the tray. It was a pretty tight fit. she is really starting to come out of her shell, at least at home. She is so close to walking! I am predicting she will be walking by the end of this month.

This is a picture of my grandad (Spike) and grandma with Annella last August, just after my grandad had surgery to remove the tumor. Soon after this picture was taken, the tumor came back. We celebrated his life on Friday June 8th. it was a wonderful memorial ceramony and a great day with my family to remember him.

We had a great time swimming and hanging out at my parents house afterwards, recounting our best memories of Spike.

Grandad

On Saturday morning we learned that my Grandad had passed away. He was suffering from a very aggressive and painful form of cancer and we are rejoicing that he has his new body in heaven and is in the presents of the Lord. We will miss him dearly and remember him often.

We are confidant, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8

Hello Friends and Family

Hello friends and family! I hope this blog makes it easier for everyone to stay in touch with us and to see how big Annella is getting, updates about the new church (The Ranch, a Calvary Chapel Church), and what we have been up to as a family.

Balloons!!!

Today I learned that the local
hardware store will give you a
free balloon with a purchase.
Annella loves balloons so she
was so excited to get one
of her own.
