4 Months

Levi is 4 months old already! It is incredible how time flies.

He is growing so fast! 

He is: rolling, giggling and cooing all the time! He is so much fun and brings us so much joy:)

Big feet like his daddy!

Having fun after bath time.

All my boys hanging out.

Our 1 Year Anniversary in Girdwood

Its hard to believe we have been married a year. Sometimes it feels like just yesterday I was getting ready to marry the love of my life. Sometimes it feels like a lifetime since we said our vows.

In 1 year a lot has changed. A year ago, we were just a couple who were in love. A year later, we are a family. 

We were able to get the same cabin in Girdwood that we had our wedding night/weekend. It was very special. But the coolest part was that this time we were there, we had Levi with us. 

We spent the weekend there and had a lot of fun. It was nice for Steve to have a day off and we just relaxed. We had a delicious Salmon dinner, took a nice walk, watched TV enjoyed our time together.

This summer...

Has been the best summer of our lives! 

Not only do we have a wonderful baby boy but the weather has been beautiful and we have done a lot of being outside!

98 Days of Motherhood

The first thing I must say is that God is good. This summer has been wonderful. Not only do we have a wonderful son but this summer has been beautiful and we have been so blessed. 

Steve has been working extra hard this summer. He works full time at Ruf Drywall and then mows lawns Saturdays and after work on Tuesdays. It isn't easy and it's exhausting and I wish he had a 2 day weekend like most people but he does it with the best attitude and does it to provide for our family. God has blessed him with enough lawns to give us some extra money each month. God always provides. 

Levi is great. He is growing so much. He is now trying to imitate sounds we make, it is so cute! He loves his hands and feet. He loves being outside. He smiles all the time. He is a wonderful baby! We are truly blessed with a happy, healthy boy with a very contagious smile. 

Our newest adventure has been cloth diapering!!! And we are very excited. We have decided to use cloth diapers because it is better for the  environment and it is a lot less expensive. 

We're going green!

The last week has been bittersweet. Obviously, as I said, life has been wonderful and I am very happy. But something sad has happened. My Grandma died late Friday night. I had received a letter and gift from her 2 days before and I am very grateful. I didn't get to tell her thank you or mail a card. I guess it's true when people say life is short. I had no idea she would be gone this soon. There are so many things I wish I could have said and done differently. And now it's too late. I have learned that life is too short to hold grudges and be angry. Just as God forgives us, we should constantly walk in forgiveness and love has He does. 

Fun day down town
