sara's birthday party

this weekend we had sara's bday party and it was so much fun! it was adorable from start to finish. the theme was yellow and white with cupcakes and everything looked precious! they had a jumping castle to play with but jayden wasn't too keen on the idea (as you can see from his face in the picture with jordan). happy birthday sara - we are so thankful for you and your family's friendship!

waco water park

this week we went to waco for my dad's birthday (my mom is gone at camp ozark for the 15th year being a camp nurse - and no she does not have any children there she just loves being there) and jayden's one year pictures in salado. on wednesday when we got there we went to a water park at mountainview park. it was so much fun - jayden was a little hesitant at first but warmed up to it by the end. we had a great time and were glad we got to spend time with our families (minus mom) after being gone for awhile. hope you have a good week!

We're Back!

we're back and had a great trip! it was so much fun spending time with joy and ellie phillip's in boston and then all going together too germany together. in germany we met up with our husband's (who were both in uganda- serving at restoration gateway an amazing project that God is doing there). we spent a couple of day's in germany sight seeing and traveling around and then went to our organization AMI's international conference. it was such a wonderful time of refreshment, envisioning, and connecting with friends and fellow laborer's around the world. hope all is going well with all of you! i will say it is good to be home, but i am glad we have missed a lot of this HOT july heat!

Adventures of Jayden & Ellie

we are here in boston and having so much fun with joy and ellie! the only sad thing is that jayden is sick with a virus and had to be taken to the doctor up here to be checked out. please pray that he gets better before we fly to germany on thursday night. he is such a little trooper - even when he doesn't feel good!

Jayden is One

Jayden turned one on Wednesday and we had a fun party, "Burger's, Baseball's, and Birthday Bash" to celebrate it. We were sad that daddy had to miss it - but thankfully jayden has great aunts, uncles, friends, & grandparents to help him celebrate it. Thank you to all who came and helped us celebrate jayden. thank you also to all who have loved on him this first year of his life - it is such a blessing to have a child grow up having so much love around him. blessing to all & happy 4th of july too!
