Jonathan and Jedidiah


These two little guys are about 6 1/2 months apart, but aren't that different in size! Jonathan's taller is about all..... Course, Jonathan's an active toddler and Jedidiahs working on pulling up, but as far as size goes, they're pretty close! 
Jonathan was being so grown up, babying Jedidiah, he didn't like it to much though!

Kennedy Space Center

  As a special Father's Day outing (a week late) and pre-birthday gift to Justin, I took him to the space center for the day! He's been really wanting to go for a really long time, and since our baby would be to young to attempt it on Justin's birthday, I decided to combine it and do it before..... Justin and I had and great time together, one on one (plus one :-). We left the house around 7am and didn't get home till 9:30pm, so it made for a really long day. But it was nice to have that special time together. Some of the highlights were..... Almost getting to see a rocket go off 4miles away (got cancelled though, due to bad weather), and getting to see the real space shuttle "Atlantis" up close and personal (you could get within 5ft of touching it)!

Table almost finished!


The table is done, just finishing up on staining it is all that's left..... Monday night Justin wanted to start staining it and he ended up getting the whole thing stained with the first coat! Yes, it was a very long night! I'm not sure I've recovered from it either :-)



Wedding....



   This past weekend, we went to a friend of mines wedding! I'm thankful Justin was willing to go, and that we were able to attend, and be apart of her very special day!!
    Amanda's dress was beautiful, as well as all the girls dresses.... And I loved the colors she chose, and her accents "the peacock feather".... Really cute!!
    It was a long day, taking us about 2 1/2 hours to get there..... Especially for me being well over 37 1/2 weeks along, would not recommend doing it (but I am glad we went)!
    The church was literally a block from the beach, so of course had to stop and check it out when we left. It was fixing to storm, but was still pretty. As we left Jacksonville we hit a really bad storm, could hardly see to drive! We've actually had a lot of those lately, they come on fast and hit hard!
     All in all, we had a wonderful time.... Wonderful fellowship, glad to be able to attend!

Harvest time



   Well, we harvested our corn about a week early due to the fact that the squirrels wouldn't leave it alone. We were afraid there wouldn't be anything left by the time they were done with it.... They were literally destroying it!
     We ended up with probably a bushel or so, but honestly we weren't impressed with the taste....

Birthday party


 Sunday we helped celebrate Caleb's 4th birthday at Aunt Becky's and Uncle Joe's house. 15 kids, six and under! Yes,  it was quite lively!!! The children had a great time, but especially loved the piƱata... It was a lot fun to watch everyone "try" to hit it  and not hit someone else in the process! The boys were definitely better at it than the girls..... They all had so much fun though, even a daddy or too :-)
  And of course, we also enjoyed the fact that Grampy was able to be there as well. The children love him to death, they've really enjoyed getting to know him and spend time with him.






Ormond Beach


  Last Saturday we went to the beach with family and friends. The kids really enjoyed the water.... And sand!! Jonathan especially thought it tasted rather good :-) While felicity and Christian had a lot of fun "surfing" in the waves.






Mini watermelons

 These are watermelons that we grew in our garden. They didn't get very big at all, but were very sweet!!
