Brian is the best :)

Okay, so seriously, my husband is the best. I don't know what his agenda is (kidding), but lately he has won the award for the most thoughtful husband ever :) But honestly that is just him. He is the most loving man I have ever even HEARD of. So the latest wonderful thing he has done is surprise me with a flip video camera!!! YAY!! My other video cameraj was super cheap and I had a hard time uploading videos. SO i shot my first video today. Ronan was outside playing with toys. You can see him practicing his new skill- sitting! I am still trying to figure out how to post it on here. It starts out so easy but i can never get it to fully upload??? It gets up to 60% finished then goes back to 0%????? Is it too long? it's 2 min and 30 sec. If any one knows anything about uploading videos, please advise :)

So, my guess is that my first videos were just too long :) This one is about a minute and seems to have updloaded great!

Father's Day

So today was Father's day. Brian's first official Father's day. I feel so blessed to have him for a husband, and now seeing him as a daddy, I am so proud, and so thankful. Ronan, loves his daddy so much, and he will grow up knowing that his daddy loves him too. I have some pictures of the gift we made for daddy, and also a picture of Ronan's latest milestone. He has been practicing this for the last couple weeks and has it about mastered now!!



Look at my boy sitting up!!!.... and chewing on mama's cell phone haha.







This week is going to be very busy. VBS in the morning/afternoon, not to mention all the cleaning I need to do for all the family that will be around at the end of the week and over the weekend. My brother in law from Texas who was married last week is having a reception in Washingtin where our family is. They will be staying with us a few nights, along with my in laws! I love my family! I cannot wait to spend time together and celebrate. Brian and I will be singing at the reception too :)
Have a great week everyone!

Ronan's 6 month appointment

Ronan's 6 month stats follow right along with the percentiles he has had for the last few months being 50th percentile for height and weight, 25th percentile for head measurements ;)
He is almost 18 lbs and a little over 26 inches tall.
He handled his shots like a champ! And we got some pretty cute 6 month shots








.

Today we worked on Brian's father's day present, and played in the pool in our backyard. It was a good day! I can't wait to post pictures of the cute present Ronan and I put together, but I know my husband reads my blog, so that would be no good :) We are also going to all go to the zoo for the first time together for father's day, so I am really looking forward to it!!

That's all for now. It's supposed to be pretty warm and sunny this week, which is good because I am helping out at my church's VBS and will be outside playing games with the kids all morning!! Please pray for all the children coming, that they will have fun, and their hearts touched by Jesus :)

We're home...

Actually we have been home for a couple of days, but it has been a very busy couple of days and I have enjoyed doing pretty much nothing with them. Except yesterday. WOW wasn't expecting that.
After dinner last night Brian and I heard a loud crash and then an ever louder sound after. I can't even explain it. We looked out in our backyard, which is fenced, and on the other side is a fairly busy street with power lines, fire hydrants and gas lines. We first thought it was a fire hydrant, but there was no water, then maybe a transformer- maybe it blew? But there were no sparks. Then my husband saw it. A car had run into our neighbor's house and in the process totally obliterated the natural gas line and valve. The loud sound was natural gas coming out. It was deafening. Brian closed his eyes and smelled. Then the look on his face scared me. He told me to grab Ronan and get out, NOW! So i did. I grabbed Ronan who was playing on the floor, and rushed my little doggy out the door and piled them all in. Brian had to run back in for the car seat, but that was it. We had no phones, no diaper bag, I was in my jammies no make up, wet hair, lol. And we just drove. Brian stopped to tell all the curious neighbors what was going on and to get to safety. We even left our front door open. It was all being blocked off my ambulances and fire trucks minutes later though. We were gone even before the fire fighters came to bang on our door! That's my hubby for ya though :) My hero.
We hung out with my mom and dad until we were informed it was safe to go back home.

So that was yesterday :)

Texas was so fun. I loved it! The wedding was beautiful. I got a lot of compliments on my singing and my hair. Everyone there was SO nice! Ronan handled it all like a champ. Slept and played on the flights and was such a trooper when meeting all the new faces and being snuggled by strangers. Boy was he tired at the end of the day though. He was SUCH a cute ring bearer. We are still waiting on all the professional pics, but I have a few from friends that I can share for you now.
