Mac's Pretties

Mac found some nail polish and asked his Aunt Meagan to put it on him so she painted his toe nails. Mac has been very proud of them and shows everyone his "pretties". When we were driving the other day Ryan asked Mac where his pretties were and Mac pointed in his shoes "there" and then Ryan turned to Ben and asked him where his pretties were and Ben disgustedly said " I don't have pretties, I have Handsomes" I love boys!

June

We have had a fun June. Ben had "picture day " at the Bat Cave. His Characters were all very happy to be there.Anikka advanced to her green/white belt. I love this studio so much and I am so sad that we are moving away from it. I will miss the program so much and so will Anikka.

Anikka turned 8 on June 11. She wanted chocolate dipped strawberries on her cake and she wanted Beans and Rice for dinner. She loves her beans and rice.

Ben enjoying the party. He is so excited that his birthday is next. He can not wait for July 19 to get here.

Anikka's Baptism. It was so nice and quick. Ben was able to give a talk and He loved it. Anikka was able to get ready after the Baptism in record time and beat Ryan out of the bathroom by a good 5 minutes. After Ryan confirmed Anikka a member of our Church he got a little teary-eyed. I thought that was so nice to see. We are so grateful to the family members that were able to make it there and super grateful to our friends that made the journey. We have some great friends.


Ryan and I celebrated our 11 year anniversary by cleaning the house and getting ready for the Baptism the next day. Not the best anniversary ever and we didn't exchange presents because we are buying a house. Never the less I am very grateful to be married to such an amazing man I really did marry the perfect man for me and I really like being married. I am Blessed!

This is a painting Ryan did for the Karate studio as a thank you for all they did for Anikka. I love the painting and am sad to see it go but we got a picture of it. He is so talented.

Mac has been a crazy little two-year-old and it only seems to get worse as the kid gets older. We went to a park that had a big duck pond and as it was time to leave Ryan was letting the kids say goodbye to the ducks and Mac got a little too close to the water and as Ryan went to grab him Mac saw him coming and took off running right into the water. He fell to his knees and was soaked. Ryan had no choice but to step in to his ankle to retreive our crazy boy. Ryan and I have been certainly blessed (cursed?) with three very active children. I sure love them all but I occasionally wish for a child the is content with quietly driving a car across the kitchen floor for an hour.

Our house is coming along nicely. When we last looked at it all the drywall was up and it is ready to paint. I am getting really excited to move and I would really like to have a specific date of when it will be done. All we are getting now is that our home inspection will be the week of the 15th. It will all happen soon enough.
