Summer Fun!


(Myko- aka McPuppy or "Mac Puppy" based on this photo)

Well, I can't believe it is already the middle of July! We won't talk about the ever approaching Birthday of mine coming up, as I have started to think that counting backwards would be fun for my Birthdays from here on out! I am also realizing that my summer is coming to an end, and pretty soon I'll be back to the middle school entertainers! :)

So, let's see... Myko is growing. He's over 5 pounds now, and is getting longer and has more personality. We are really loving him, and I must take the time now to praise my husband for his willingness to always take Myko outside, play with him, and for being patient with him. Mark's the best! Above is a shot of Myko, taking an interest in technology. I bet Mark was really proud!

We had a lot of fun on the 4th! Mark's family had us over because the boys and their wives were all in town, so we went on the boat, ate a lot of food, and played Settlers... super fun! (I won't mention how awesome it was to win.... but it was AWESOME!)

Mark and I were also given some excited news at 5 am on the 4th--- our best friends, Crystal and Keenan were in labor, and they were on their way to the hospital. We decided that it would probably take awhile for the baby to come, so we went ahead and went on the boat (sorry Crys... we were boatin' it up while you were in labor). We made it to the hospital just in time (30 min. before Kaden was born). It was a very special moment, and were felt so blessed to be a part of it all! Congratulations to them, and we are so excited about the new addition! I think Mark put it best when he held Kaden. He said, "Dude, I'm so glad you're a boy.... sports, football, I mean, it's gonna be awesome. Oh- and food, yea, we'll eat a lot, too." He was precious!
