Our Fun filled weekend

WE spent Saturday afternoon swimming at Willow Creek. I am so happy that Tate and I have a pool to go hangout at all summer long. And I'm lucky enough to have a little boy that loves the water and hanging out in his floaty.


What a HOTTIE, right!?!


Lunch at Willow Creek Country Club. Yum Yum!!



Our way in to Tate's first Real Soccer Game. It was a blast. Tate was completely entertained by all the little kids. He even started flirting with the little girl behind us, I think he has a thing for older girls!! He did watch the game here and there. Over all I think he had a really fun time.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, LOVE

I just wanted to take a minute to tell my sweetheart how much I love and apprecitate him. Babe, thank you for always being so patient with me. You know just how to handle me. You always make me laugh when I'm either upset or exhausted. You have always made me feel so special, safe, and comfortable. I appreciate how hard you work to provide for our family. You are an amazing Father. I love watching you play and take care of Tate, you are such a natural. You are my whole world and I don't know what I did to deserve a guy as special as you. I love you and hope you have a Happy Father's Day.

What we have been up to

NEW CALLINGS
In the past two weeks Devin and I have both recieved callings in our new ward and we couldn't be more excited. We love that we just moved in and they are ready for us to help carry out the lord's work. Devin has been called as the Scout Chairmen and I have been called as the 1st counselor in the Young Women's. We understand we both are going to be super busy, but we are ready for the challenge and all the fun we are going to have. Young womens and Scouts here we come!!

SAYING GOODBYE

Yesterday we took Devin's sister, Jenny, to the MTC. Over the past three months or so Jenny has decided to serve a mission. She has been called to serve in the Illinois, Nauvoo mission. We were all able to breath a sigh of relief when she read where she was going and we couldn't be more excited for her. She was supposed to leave July 22, but got a call from her stake president saying that her mission president had called him and wanted her to leave ASAP. Since she had nothing ready and hadn't been through the temple yet the soonest she could leave was just yesterday. I don't know how she got everything ready in such little time, but she did and we ended up saying goodbye to Sister Johnson sooner then we thought. We will miss her greatly, but know that the Lord needs her right now in Illinois, Nauvoo and look forward to all her emails and pictures!

BRIDAL SHOWER

Bride to be, Becca


All the ladies, minus two or three


High School friends.
Linden, Liz, Sarah, Brittany, Andrea, Lacey, and Ashley


Oh la la! Get excited Brady!!

Yesterday I threw a Bridal shower for my really good friend, Becca. I was so excited to host the shower for several different reasons, First I felt all grown up having it at my own house and all! I know that sounds stupid, but it's the truth. It was nice to finally be able to throw a party at MY own house. Second, it is always so nice to see friends from High School that I don't get to see that often. Thanks girls for coming and supporting becca. Third, I am so so so excited for Becca and Brady and this new journey they are about to embark upon. Becca and I have known each other forever and go way back so to see her this happy and excited makes me so happy. Becca, I love you girl and look forward to hanging out, golfing, and raising our kids together!!

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!

I know it has taken me awhile to update, but our lives have been busy to say the least the past couple months. We moved into a house about 2 months ago and we are loving it. We love our house, our neighbors, our ward, and being closer to both mine and devin's family. I can't believe Tate is 6 months old. At his 6 month check up he weighed in at 18 lbs. he is in the 70% for height and 90% for head size. What can I say my son is going to be super smart with that large brain of his!! I love this age cause he laughs, smiles, talks, sits up by himself, knows now what his toys are and is figuring out how to use them, loves bouncing in his jumperoo, blows bubbles, eats baby food, plays with his feet, rolls from his back to tummy and almost from his tummy to back, and I think he is starting to catch on to doing "patty cake" with me. I can't get enough of him. Even though I love this age I am looking forward to what more is to come. It is so much fun watching him grow and develop. At the end of May we dropped Devin's little brother Ryan off at the MTC and it was so good to see how excited he is to serve the lord for the next 2 years of his life. Ryan is going to be an awesome missionary and we can't wait to get his emails to hear all about it. WE are so happy that summer is finally here cause that means pool days everyday! WE have been to the pool alot lately and Tate absolutely loves the water. He loves to splash and kick his feet. I got him this floaty he can sit in and he loves it, but he has discovered how to sip on the water and I'm not so happy about that! All in all we are doing awesome and loving life. I promise to update more often and hopefully never go this long again to post. Enjoy all my pics!!
