Aliza and Daddy watching the fireworks at Grandpa Keith’s house.

Aliza loved it.  She just kept yelling “more, more more!” We had a great holiday with so much family time.

Our very good friends, Roy and Theresa came over for a visit on Thursday.  Audrey slept peacefully in Roy’s arm almost the whole time they were here. It was very sweet.  These are the pics he got of her.

Yesterday I was taking a picture of Audrey and Aliza asked me to take one of her…she is wearing my hoodie. It is a super blurry picture, but I love her big smile.  Also, I think she looks like the Emperor from Star Wars. :)

We had a little photo shoot this morning, so Aliza was hanging out with me while I put on my makeup.  She obviously knows what she is doing!  Later this afternoon she was playing with Caleb’s action figure and tried using the figure’s rubber sword for a mascara wand!  It was cute.

Betsy just sent these precious pictures to me from Monday night. So sweet. I need to get some more pictures of her sweet little face, but I love what these pictures represent.  Thanks again, Bets, for documenting our lives with photos! :)

{due date}

Today is my due date…the first day of Summer and Father’s day.  I am hoping that the latter two keep my mind off of the first one.  I didn’t make it to my due date last time, so this is new territory. I am trying to be patient and enjoy the last little bit of time with this baby girl in my belly, but it is really hard!  I just want to hold her and kiss her.  Scott prayed for me to have a better attitude toward it and I prayed to have peace about trusting God’s timing. I think it’s working. :) Just thought I’d share.

Aliza enjoying her first s’more!  She loved it.  She was a little concerned about the sticky mess it made, but that made it really easy to get her in the bath afterward!  And yes, she isn’t wearing pants with her rubber boots, about that hillbilly thing… :)

{first badmitten game of the year!}

badmitten

We had our first summer small group BBQ last Friday. It was a great night of kabobs, badmitten, laugh attacks, friendship and yummy dessert. We love our sweet friends and can’t wait for more summer nights together!
