Funny Videos

Here are a few funny videos that Jason got to download while he was at a training class for work this week. Just something to make you laugh!

Preacher Mess Up

Wanted: New Digital Camera!

Okay, so it's official that I have a lousy camera that sucks the life out of any brand of batteries I put in it! I am writing this post because I'm tired of looking at the same old posts I've had on here for almost a month now, but I don't have any pictures because my camera batteries are dead. =( So, I promise to post some soon!

To catch everyone up on the last few weeks, we had an amazing and busy Easter weekend, and we've been cleaning and organizing our house and putting all the last minute details together for Rebekah's birthday party on Tuesday, and it's been so fun! Jason is off work until Wednesday (wahoo!), but tonight he is working off duty for a church as their security and he has to work for 15 hours straight! So, that means great extra money but crazy that he has to keep himself awake all night and not really get to go anywhere! Still, we are praising the Lord for extra income opportunities like this one, so that I can continue to stay at home with Rebekah and only work part time at the church. God is so good!

Well, I really should be in bed right now while Rebekah is finally asleep. Again, I promise to post more pictures as soon as I can! Until then, I am wishing I had a new camera!

Fun @ Willow Creek Park

Yesterday we went to the park by our house. Jason wanted to fly his super cool remote control airplane, and I wanted to take pictures with Bekah. So we watched Daddy fly his plane for about 20 minutes and then off to take some fun pictures. As a side note, we've been trying to feed Bekah more solids which means less nursing for me and more crankiness from her. So there were a few pictures where she was not too happy... but we thought it was funny, so we still took pictures! Bless her heart! Nevertheless, it was a fun outing on a beautiful day!

Books!

Well, I know it's early to be planning Rebekah's birthday party in detail, but for some reason it's all I can think about! So, I thought I'd share what our plans are so far. Rebekah LOVES books, so we thought it would be fitting to have her first birthday party about books. (Plus, if her birthday is anything like Christmas was, she will probably love the boxes and wrapping paper more than anything, anyway!) My idea was that for gifts, instead of toys, everyone could bring her a book that has special meaning to them (whether they have a fond childhood memory of it or if they just really like the storyline,etc.) and write inside of the book, sharing why they brought that particular one. This way we are able to build Rebekah's book collection and each book will have sentimental meaning to Bekah when she gets older. So, we've bought decorations (hot pink, purple and green paper goods and I'm making a banner out of book-shaped cut outs) and I've made invitations already. We even bought her a pink sash for her to wear that says "Princess" and a party hat. We can't wait to celebrate the big day! It seems like only yesterday we found out we were having her!

I decided to post some pictures to catch everyone up on our adventures in being new parents over the past year! Yes, there are a lot…oh well! Enjoy!

We've joined the blogging world!

Okay, so we've finally started a blog! While I can't promise that a day in the life of the Reese's will always be a must read, I can at least promise to try to keep everyone updated on our sweet angel baby, Rebekah Rae. She is 3 weeks away from being a year old! We can't believe how a year has almost already passed us. We are so blessed to have such a sweet girl who is always happy and makes us laugh every day with her antics. I will be sure to get some pictures on here as soon as possible!
