PLayiNG aRouND!

So I am really slow with learning new technology (just ask Jodi :) . Well since I have had Photoshop Elements for about 1 year or so and I am just now learning how to put a collage of pictures together. I have used it alot with editing my photos but nothing more fancy. Anyway, did this one this afternoon and had fun, lots to learn yet. But hoping to be able to put our Christmas card together this way with a lot more detail to it. Had to start somewhere. Kind of fun hope it doesn't take me as long the next time!

p.s... If you have any helpful hints for me let me know! What is the easiest way to do this????

Play Time.. So Happy!

Gracie loves being in the upright position, so she is really enjoying her Hop n' Pop, Exesaucer and the Bumbo these days! Still as happy as can be!!

Back to the Field...Finally.....

Kenndey came out for her 1st combine ride,

so did Brody and Reece

waiting on Daddy to come back

Bo and Mark having a good ole time in the combine!

26 months and 5 months old!

Bo is 26 months old right now and full of energy and seems to rarely wear out! He sure keeps us on our toes! He is so fun, most of the time :)! At this time he is still very into tractors of all sorts he loves going through the magazines and naming all the equipment and brand name! It is fun to watch him sit in the family room all by himself and hear him naming what he is looking at. He still loves being outside as much as possible. Bo is also into his Curious George stuffed animal and caring him around. This seems like it might be the new attachment. We are STILL working to getting ride of the paci! I think I just need to do it cold turkey, I give into to much.

Gracie is 5 months old and a VERY HAPPY little girl! She is rolling over from back to front hasn't done to much of front to back but I am sure that is not far behind. She is such a joy and blessing. She is getting more chatty and smiley all the time. We have started cereals and she gets them once a day, she does really well with them and seems to like cereal much more than Bo ever did. She has also spent time in her bumbo and in the exasaucer which she seems to enjoy for spurts of 20-30 minutes at a time!

God has been so good to us and we feel so blessed to have our two little one's in our lives!

Happy 30th Birthday Daddy!

On Sunday night I was able to pull off a SUPRISE 30th Birthday party for Dave! He had NO idea so it was great!! He had a lot of fun and I was so thankful to everyone who helped me pull it off. Out of about 60 people nobody slipped!! Thank you everyone. He was even more suprised that all 3 of his brother from TX, OH, VA and Grandma Yoder from FL were here to celebrate with us!
Happy 30th to my best friend and hubby we love you so much and hope for many more years of celebrating YOU!! Here are a few pictures from the night, thanks Jodi and Amy!
