Our family of Frogs!

We headed over to Zoo Montana for some fun with two cute little frogs.

It was a beautiful fall day and we had a blast!

Multitude Monday

Lately, I have found myself being negative. . .
Negative about not knowing what step is next for Danny and I, negative about what I am doing right now to contribute to the world, negative about continuing to live in my parent's basement with no clear direction, negative about my lack of sleep due to Theo, negative about my crazy days where I get nothing done when hanging out with Zeke and Theo. Unfortunately, I could go on. All this negativity only hurts me, my family, and my relationship with Jesus. I have so much to be thankful for and my attitude should reflect that.

So, I am trying a challenge from aholyexperience.com
To give thanks or to not give thanks
I want to choose to give thanks and make a list of 1000 things I am thankful, an endless list of found Beauty, a chance to give intentional thanks
And so today, I begin with a few. . .
  1. a chubby little boy with a big smile
  2. a big brother who loves his Baby Wheo
  3. the quiet of the night while feeding my son
  4. two cute little boys dressed as frogs causing people to smile
  5. a husband who loves the LORD and seeks to lead our family
  6. the opportunity to wait on the LORD
  7. my parents and their willingness to allow us to invade their home for 5 months. . .
  8. the sound of "Hi Mama" with a big smile
  9. Clean cloth diapers
  10. the magic of play
  11. the colors of Fall
  12. the fun in leaves
  13. going to church as a family
  14. your word
  15. a challenging Bible study
  16. parks
  17. feeling better after having a cold
  18. a hug from a two year old
  19. a quiet house
  20. nap time

My boys

I'm not sure who is the "Bigger" brother when I look at this picture. Zeke is now 24lbs and in the 5th percentile for his age with his weight
Theo is 14lbs and in the 95th percentile for his age.


I think Zeke better watch out or Theo is going to catch him!



Theo is two months old

This guy is already two months old and weighing a hearty 14 lbs! He is such a happy and content baby! I am so thankful.



A Birthday!

We celebrated my Mom's birthday! She has plenty of help to blow out candles. A happy "Elmo" with her boy.



Fun at Grandpa's Farm in MT

We did make A-maize-ing Memories together! I think my parents might like Zeke. :)

I'm not sure who is more scared! :) Zeke or my mom!








My Dad and Mom





Zeke with his friends Tyler and Tatum

What a wonderful night making amazing memories!

Trip to MN and ND

At the beginning of October, we traveled to ND and MN to visit family, friends, and for Danny to attend a conference on preaching. It was Theo's first long car trip and he did great!
Zeke continues to practice his winking with each and every picture. :) We visited his cousin Hannah and had some toddler fun!
We visited Uncle Andy and Aunt Shana and enjoyed some Harvest activities!

It is a challenge to get two toddlers to stay in once place for a picture.

The Whole Gang





We also enjoyed some amazing pancakes with some seminary friends and their families! Thanks you guys for setting that up!
Fun times! We miss you all.
