Luchadors

Parker and Silas LOVE to wear this mask. It brings out the best in them both, wouldn't you agree?

Blue Candy

Chris brought home blue laughy taffys from work and Parker thought that it was the best ever. He called it "blue candy" and he insisted on looking at his tongue in the mirror.

What the Doula?

After thinking, talking and praying about it I've decided to take the steps to become a birthing doula. It's pretty exciting! I just ordered my membership today. I am hoping and praying that I get into the workshop that is coming to Santa Barbara in September. I have to take that workshop, a birthing class, a lactation class, read a lot of books, and have surveys from three moms and their doctor from their births. It's going to be a long expensive process, but rewarding and something that I can always have under my belt to bring in some extra bucks if I need too. I am totally stoked on this. Please pray that the Lord blesses this new venture into something new. And feel free to take me up on my services you prego mommies!!!! :)

TRON

Tonight was movie nite and I got to pick out the movie. I chose TRON.
I am a serious nerd.

Beach Day

Today was Chris's day off and the sun was gloriously shinning! So we decided to head to the beach for the day. It was awesome. Parker and Chris dug holes and Silas went around sitting on other families chairs and playing with their toys. The time has now come that I was hoping wouldn't... Silas turning 18 months. He's into everything, screams at the top of his lungs and RUNS everywhere he goes. This happened at 18 months for Parker and lasted until he was 3. Pray for us! He is amazingly gorgeous and wonderfully snuggable though!

I guess one of our songs was used for this website. Never thought one of our songs would fit with the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"...but hey, we'll take it!

Swim Lessons

Parker is his own man. We started him in swim lessons and he does NOT like it. Well actually when he goes with Chris he does pretty good, but with me... he wasn't havin it. It was an interesting 30 minutes. If it was any other thing I would just pass on it all together, but it's one of those life skills that he needs. He gets brave every now and then and does something totally awesome. And it doesn't help that this particular instructor is just a beach bum kid that really doesn't know what he's doing. But after the 30 minutes is up he is stoked to have completed it and is even more stoked when he gets to pick out a prize ( a small candy of his choice). Here are some pictures of the event. My camera battery was dying so some of these are from my dad's iphone.
