I am playing catch up with my blog pictures. I love the way Jacob takes care of the truck at nana's. He always stops to look under the hood and make adjustments. He is so serious about it too. He is so cute and fun to watch. I also love watching Adam try to be like his big brother. Hailey likes the truck too except she likes talking on the phone in it, not looking at the engine. We enjoyed lots of camping with Grandpa this summer. Lots of fun pictures from the campground are posted. Today I went to grandpas and helped him take apart the garden wagon he had bought and put together. He couldn't get the last bolt in so I prayed and looked at a picture of it and figured it out. Amazing for me. We got it back together and everything fit perfect. Thank you Lord!!! Came home and worked on staining the deck. We have a huge deck so it is taking lots of time as we are giving it two good coats. We are getting near the end now and we are both happy about that believe me. Sure is a good feeling to have it and all the swings, plus picnic table done. Next is the swing set for the kids.
I am glad we have been having such great weather for it. I put some pictures of the Marine Aunt Debbie got for Bill for his 60th birthday. It's pretty neat. It weighs a ton. She had it engraved with the dates he was in the Marines on one side with his name and on the other side is a special note from their family to him.

9/21/08 Jack's Dedication to the Lord

Today was special as Jack was dedicated to the Lord. Our family was all together to celebrate the happy occasion. It was nice having dad there plus the girls and families. We all went to Bruce and Melissa's after church for dinner. It was yummy...thanks Bruce and Melissa. Dad had to stay at church as he was doing a wedding for a couple who attend our Bible study. I ate at Bruce and Melissa's and then headed back to church for the wedding. Bill did a wonderful ceremony. It was a very touching service.
After we stopped home so I could change my shoe as the strap broke at the wedding. Then we headed to the restaurant for the reception. The food there was great too.
We stayed for wedding cake and then headed back to Bruce and Melissa's. The kids were all adorable and played so good together. Of course, Jack was such a good baby and let Nana hold him lots. He tries talking now and makes the cutest sounds and expressions. Sooooo cute!!!
