NRH2O

Jason and I are blessed to be co-leading an awesome family lifegroup from our church. Yesterday the church had a meeting for all the family lifegroup leaders. We took Rebekah to the church to be watched in the nursery and then we went to the meeting in Grapevine. It was so nice! They fed us a yummy brunch and we listened to a few people speak about our role as leaders and give us information, and finally we dismissed and met at the NRH2O water park for fun and fellowship. They provided us lunch and unlimited drinks. Rebekah loved the water! She just didn't like getting splashed in the face or the shooting water things that sprayed her unexpectedly. I didn't get any shots of us in the water because I forgot to buy a water camera and didn't want to ruin my camera. But we met a really sweet couple that we were able to laugh with and get to know a little bit and all in all it was a great day. We are so blessed to be able to have been a part of it all! Now we just can't wait for our Fall semester of lifegroups to start!

Our attempt at a self shot.

A nice stranger offered to take our picture after watching our failed attempts!

Cutie Pie!

Still playing after a really long day. She was picking up things and throwing them in this bag and then walking around the house to find more "treasures".

Randomness

Last Saturday, I went to the most gorgeous wedding ever! My friend Amber got married and the entire event was just breathtaking. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures except for the one before we left the house. Jason had to work unexpectedly, so I went with my mom while my sister took care of Rebekah. Anyway, it was a lot of fun and I wish I could share with you just how pretty everything was. Oh well, at least you can see my latest belly picture!



Today, my sister Cristina and cousin Melissa (and her son Caleb) came over for lunch. Cristina made the main dish, and Melissa and I contributed the sides. It was so much fun, and the kids had a blast playing together. We decided that we need to do it more often! (But I sure missed those precious nephews of mine!)





Here are some pictures of our Bekah Boo playing from yesterday. I was on the phone with my sister in Rebekah's room watching her and Olivia play together, when I look up and see them climbing into the toy bins. It was too cute that they figured it out together!




And finally, these are from about a week ago. Daddy showed our munchkin how to weigh herself. She actually keeps her balance really well and stays still long enough for her weight to pop up!

And last but not least...

Pictures I took today.

Rebekah has definitely inherited my love for purses and bags! She already knows how to wear them on her arm (without me showing her) and put things in them, and as a side note, she tends to put things on or around her neck, too. (I don't know where that comes from, though!) She will carry them with her all over the house. I caught a few good shots of her this morning.

By the way, for those of you who are curious to know, the move went well. We had a very successful garage sale (Praise the Lord!) and then we finally put the house on the market last week. We are just praying for it to sell quickly so we can be on our way to living debt free! (So, if you know of someone looking to buy a super cute house in Saginaw, please send them our way! =) We are still trying to make sense of the boxes still sitting in our living room and bedroom, but overall, we are getting more settled. God is good!

More Pictures!!

I was blessed to be able to help throw a baby shower for my dear friend, Jennie back in May. I made the diaper cake and the blessing box with Elliot's name on it and the other pictures are just from the shower. It was so much fun to plan and to be a part of! Jennie had her sweet baby girl, Elliot Grace, on July 2nd, weighing in at 6 lbs 7 oz!

These are from Father's Day this year. Jason had to work, so we got a late start. But, we had a late lunch at my mom and dad's house and enjoyed some time at home before it was time to hit the hay. Rebekah was being so cute that day! The third picture is of me asking her where her belly is...she loves to show us! =)

Here is a picture of the little girl I babysit, Olivia. She just turned a year old last week, so her and Rebekah are about 3 and a half months apart.

Bekah discovered her baby bathtub when we were moving a few weeks ago. We had it out and she had a blast climbing in and out of it and making it her hang out spot. She even sat it in a few times with her juice cup and toys. It was so funny!

Just playing around! My baby loves my laundry (clean, of course). She loves to play in it and take it with her around the house. So, yes, in these next few, it is what it looks like on her head - my underwear! Haha! Yes, it is somewhat embarrasing, but not as embarrasing as it will be for her one day! I was laughing so hard that day.

Playing catch up...

with my pictures!

I know most of these are a few months old, but my sweet hubby figured out how to get my pictures to download from my camera(we were having problems with it before) and so now I have them to share! This first set of pics are from Mother's Day. The top ones are cards I made for my sister and our moms. We went to breakfast at IHOP with Jason's mom, MiMi, sister and brother-in-law and then Jason went to work and I went to a Japanese restaurant with my mom, dad, and sister and her family for lunch. Rebekah loved it there! It was quite a show as they cooked right in front of us. She especially loved the rice! I will post more pictures soon!
