Ocean day with Grammie, Tash and Shay

 Marshall learning how to operate grammie's camera

 Titus had fun drinking from Shay's water bottle

 Marshall got barried in the sand 3 times and loved every minute of it

 Shay's Kayla creation

 Grammie and Titus playing in the sand

We had a wonderful day at the ocean last week with Grammie D, Aunt Tash and Aunt Shay. The weather was perfect and the company was even better.

Mashall's great adventure

 Marshall got to go flying with daddy for the first time. He sat right seat and even got to fly it a little

 Here he is getting ready ( got to have the cool shades)

 Before take off

 Titus and Mommy looking on. Titus pointing to the plane

 Taking off

 After landing

 If you can see, Josiah and Marshall are waving

 the great adventurer's are back and had a wonderful time

 Titus even got to take the controls for a while. we decided that titus was a little to young yet to go up, he is scared of the noise of the tractor so we thought he should wait till 2 at least.

It's so nice that Josiah can share his passion with the boys. I'm sure that will grow up to love planes as much, if not more, than daddy.

Our Big Boy turns 1!!!!

 We had a wonderful birthday celebration for Titus on August 10th with family

 Marshall and Titus are the best of friends

 The picture is a little fuzzy. the shirt says " if you think i'm cute you should see my daddy"

 Papa and Reere ( great grandparents) gave this to Titus. Not sure about putting him in it though. : )

 Titus loves any type of ball

 Grampa and Grammy D got him a sit n'spin.

 Ethan and Titus testing it out ( and having a blast)

 Mommy had fun making the fish cake....

 but not as much fun as Titus had eating it.

We are so blessed by our 2nd boy and can't believe a year has come and gone since he came into this world. God is so good.

3 Years Ago

Josiah and I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary on Tuesday the 9th of August. As we reminised about our previous anniversaries this one was a favorite. Our first anniversary Josiah broke his ankle, i was in labor with Titus on #2 ( which was a blessing but painful), and then this year we got to spend time at home with a candlelight dinner and then a fun game of glow in the dark mini golf and topped with ice cream.

I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and look forward to many more years together to serve the Lord.

my heritage

I am so excited about being an aunt. On Thursday I got to visit little Abby and Hannah for the morning. Hannah was so tried ( which i completely know the feeling all to well ), so she let me take Abbigal for her so she could have some time. It was really good for me to see how it will be juggling a newborn and 2 toddlers. Busy, busy, busy. Considering Titus isn't walking but he crawls ( which is more like running on all 4's for hime ). God will have to give me the strength to do it daily.

Marshall and Titus love having a cousin. Marshall wants to hold baby Abby every second we see her and now he and Titus are facinated with the baby doll we have at home. Marshall wraps her up and cuddles with her and Titus just keeps saying " baby" and wants to hold it while he swings.

Josiah and i are having a hard time finding a boys name for baby #3, incase it's a boy. Josiah really thinks that it's a girl but i am leaning towards another boy. We have had the girls name picked out for some time now so that isn't hard.

"Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him" Psalm 127:3

Everyday i know this better. i love my boys more than i ever thought possible and wouldn't trade these years ( though hard and tiring as they are) for any life i could imagine.
