Family Pictures










We have had Cody for almost 2 months now and he is the most precious baby that we could ever have asked for. He is so peaceful and only cries when he is hungry or needs a diaper change. He will also cry if we leave him on his play mat for too long of a period and he doesn't really like tummy time very much.

We have had many experiences of having two kids to take around to places. We started off with finishing up T-Ball season with him attending two games and watching (I mean sleeping) his sister. Then there was the week that mom took both of the kids to VBS (pictures in a following post), and at the same time swimming lessons for 2 weeks where he got to dip his feet in the water.

Our first big one came with our first family pictures since we got him. We were so excited to have this done so that we would have good pictures of him taken. I was very pleased with the pictures and enjoy the thought of sending them out to friends and family.

Horse Back Riding




I asked Shaleigh if she wanted to learn to ride a horse. She excitedly told me yes. She has talked about nothing since. I asked a friend if her girls could teach Shaleigh and she said yes. So Wednesday we went out to the arena and she got on the horse for the 1st time to really ride.

Alexa taught her how to stop, start, and turn the horse. She did all of this from behind Shaleigh on the horse. Then she stopped the horse and climbed down and left Shaleigh to it....she did walk beside her and the horse (cowboy).

Shaleigh had such a good time that at the end of the hour she asked Alexa if she gave riding lessons and Alexa told her yes she did. So many more lessons to come and Shaleigh has no fear of horses and she loves being on top of one. Thanks Alexa and Khrissen for letting her come out and ride.
