David's Birthday

Last Tuesday was David's Birthday. Alayna and I decorated the house while he was at work. She loved the balloons, of course.

David wanted to open his present right after Alayna's nap and she got to help him. We got to spent a nice evening at home together. David is such a wonderful husband and father. Alayna and I are so blessed to have him!

got today!

Yes, it is a boy!

He is healthy and doing fine. We feel so very blessed!

Camping

This past weekend we went camping up on the Rim near Woods Canyon Lake. The weather was perfect.


This is one of Alayna's lastest faces she likes to make. The "duck lips".


We picked blackberries, but I forgot the camera. So you can see the evidence on her face. She loves the berries. I put her on a rock to help pick and she found some berries on a branch by her.

Bath time in the tent. Our little camper got every dirty. But she loved to roam around the forest.

Backyard fun

We had some family fun the other evening in the back yard. Alayna loves bubbles.


I think the puppy even likes the bubbles.

David's family has a rental house that had this nice swing set, so we went and got it.

Alayna love to be out in the backyard. Can't wait for cooler weather.

Night time routine

I am so glad that Susanne had me start a nightly routine with Alayna. Every night we say family prayers, let her brush her teeth and read books. Then I rock her for a little while and she then will go to bed without a tear. Now if only nap time was that easy.

Baby Nally

My sister Susanne had her fourth baby on Tuesday. It was a boy and his name is Ammon James Nally. I got to watch her other three while they were at the hospital. I am amazed at how busy a few more kids can make a day. I love my nieces and nephews and am always happy to spent time with them. We live so close to Susanne's family and Alayna loves having them come over. Especially Annabelle who is only 5 months older than Alayna. Congratulations to the Nally's new baby boy.
