Baby time!!!

We found out on Wednesday August 27, 2008 that we would be adding a new member to our family. We are all so excited. Isaiah said he wants a baby sister. We told him it may not be a baby sister that it may be a baby brother, would that be OK? He said yes. He has had so many question already... Where is the baby going to sleep?... When will the baby be here?... We are just not looking forward to some of the other questions that have yet to come and we know will!! Elijah said he want a baby too, but we have a feeling that he doesn't quite understand what that means, we think he will be our jealous one. Time will tell.

Right now the due date is May 2, 2009 but that may change after the first doctors appointment. We will keep everyone updated and be sure to keep us in your prayers for a good pregnancy and a healthy baby!!!

The Beach/Date Day

Yesterday the boys went to the beach with Papa and Nana. They were so excited and so were we, this gave us the chance to spend the day together and go on a date, which only happens about twice a year!!!

The boys headed off for the beach early so we headed off for a nice breakfast together. After breakfast we went to a movie then to the mall. After that we had a late lunch and headed home. The boys had a blast. They got to hold fish, catch crabs, play in the sand and in the water. They had a wonderful day with their Papa and Nana, the pictures tell it all.

They told us all about their day and showed up their sea shells. Then at bed time just before prayers Isaiah decides to ask us the question of the day, apparently he had already asked Papa and Nana but he didn't think they answered him well he enough. He asked, "Why are the love bugs stuck together like that?" Mommies answer, "That's a good question, why don't you ask your dad?" And he did, boy that Jonathan sure can come up with some good answers!!!

Elijah's 3rd birthday weekend

Elijah just had his third birthday on Saturday Aug 9th. It was a wonderful day, actually a wonderful weekend. Friday night Papa and Nana came over for pizza and both boys got a present, The Incredible Hulk hands. They are really neat, they make noise every time you hit things with them. The boys went wild over them, literally!! It was great. Then on Saturday we had his birthday party. It was nice because he got to have his party on his actual birthday, which is rare. He of course had an Incredible Hulk themed party. He was so excited about it. Jonathan cooked on the grill and after we ate Elijah came over to us and said he was ready to open his presents, he just couldn't wait. We played pin the tail on the donkey and had a pinata. Then to finish off the weekend we went to Chuck E. Cheeses Sunday after church. At first Elijah wasn't sure how he felt about Chucky but he finally warmed up. It was so much fun. We just can't believe it has already been three years since God blessed us with our Elijah Boyd.

Welcome to our blog!!

So this is our blog spot! We are doing great here in Texas. Just counting the days till we head back to Indiana but we are enjoying our time here with our family and friends. It has been so nice living so close to Papa and Nana. And in July we were blessed to have our friends Dax, Deanna, Camden and Berkleigh join us here. Isaiah and Elijah love having their friends so close by.

The boys are getting so big. Isaiah is five and started Kindergarten this year. We are homeschooling him, yes we are brave!! He is doing wonderful so far. He loves to learn and I am amazed everyday how smart he is. He also recently learned how to swim all by himself, we are so proud. Elijah just celebrated his third birthday. We just can't believe how big our baby is and that he is already three. He is really coming into his own now, just full of personality. He has such a big imagination, he loves to pretend.

Jonathan works alot but we make sure we have our family time. We love to play games and watch movies together. Our days are pretty full and never boring with our two boys. They drive us crazy and make us laugh everyday, but we love it and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!!!
