Boating with the Becks

Our good friends, Brent and Candie Beck took us out on their very nice boat. The kids had such a blast! I could not believe that when we stopped to swim, Josiah didn't hesitate but just jumped right in the deep water. He kept asking to swim the whole day.

We were on the boat for 5 hours and the kids didn't complain one time. I hope we get to do it again real soon!

Josie was the best little baby on the boat, she didn't cry at all. She laughed a lot, especially when the boat went fast!

Here is little Josie floating all by herself in the huge lake. She absolutely loved it!! She was talking and singing and yelling! So adorable!

Annie on the tube with her daddy!!

Even mommies can have fun!!

Daddy and Josie in the lake!

My little family! A funny story: Josiah had to pee several times while on the boat so we let him go in the water. Well, he did not want to pee in his trunks, so Nathan would pull down his pants (we got mooned several times). One time, he decided he had to poop, so we docked the boat and he and Nathan trekked to the woods. Oh, the joys of parenthood :)

My Annie and Me

Josie's smile is priceless. (Josiah's eyes are very sensitive.....:)

Me and my Little Angel

Me and My Twin

I really do not know how anyone can think any different. I am amazed at how much my little Josie looks like me. It is funny because I always joked about how I would keep on having kids until I got one that looked like me. Thank goodness I didn't have to try too long. 

I even got a MySpace comment from someone I do not see too often that said "she is your twin" just from a photo she saw. I am so thankful for my baby girl Josephine.

Even mommy got to ride some.

Mother's Day 2008

What a special Mothers Day it was! We added Josie to our family this year. I am definitely the most blessed woman in the whole wide world to have these 3 beautiful kids. Thank you God for my children!

Josie's Baby Dedication at Journey

We dedicated Josie to Jesus on Mother's Day! What a special time to remember that she is not ours but on loan to care for until God uses her for His purpose someday. Amazing!

Mother's Day Tea

We had a Mother's Day Tea at Annie's school. It was so cute. She made me a present and sang songs to me. She only has 3 days of preschool left and then "Schools out for Summer". Next year, my baby will be a kindergartner!

Annie took this picture of me with the present she made me. It is a tile with her hand print on it.

I Ran the Pig!

Well, I did it! I ran the Flying Pig Half Marathon. My time was 2:04:46 which makes it a pace of 9:28 minute miles. Not too bad for my very first half marathon. It was such a great experience and truly taught me that hard work and dedication pays off in the end. My friend Candie and I got up at 4 am to be at the starting line at 6:30 am. It was about 44 degrees when we started the race but I got warm after about 5 miles. I cannot wait to do it again next year!
