cousins play.

before the pictures

come i want to thank any of

you who prayed for us to get renters for

our house...

because we got some new tenants.

just in the nick of time...

thank you Jesus!

it is a nice couple who we trust will take care of our house in turlock very well!

so we went to turlock hoping and 

praying to establish new tenants

and by God's grace...we did!

anyways we also had some family time too

so,

i have a BUNCH of pictures to share.

kids are just so much fun to photograph when they play together..

(and i left quite a few out...hahaha!)

i also stole a couple of pictures from my in-laws to add to the collection of pictures!

alright enjoy...

the "cousins play."

 the line-up!...poor elias was not feeling it that day.

 {above} this picture is so funny ...elias's sisters, the twins, are looking at him thinking..."what is your problem..."

 jesse: "hey look how loud i can get..."

please can you let the dogs out to play!

 going...

 gone!

ok...now

the uncles & aunts

the boys...with their boys.

and the aunties getting some love too.

and of course...cant forget

about nana and papa.

heart be still.

so sorry

for the absence

i am in the middle of trying to work out this

whole blog thing...

it looks like i will be able to continue

blogging after all.

however i have some catching up to do.

this is just a blog of two videos

the first one shows

jesse eating rhubarb pie

for the first time

and then the "shakes"

that he gets after sugar....

however usually they are a lot 

more intense than those

shown in the movie.

alright 

so ...

"heart be still"

as indicated in the title.

well, jesse has

been taking 

a huge interest in elleanne

and is very aware of her 

whenever she cries.

he brings her toys,

her pacifiers,

and then i found this one time

when she started crying
bloody murder
{i went into her room to go calm her down
but before i got there she had stopped crying on her own....or so i thought}:

it was so precious to 
see jesse rock elleanne
because she was crying.
they are already so smart at this 
age...it's amazing.
what the camera did not catch...
when i walked in...jesse kept saying
"baby, baby, baby."

lastly,

last week we started 

sleeping jesse

in his new room and in his big boy bed.

he is doing so good

and i have some pictures of him in 

his new bed.

so check back tomorrow...

i hope to have some pictures

posted of our

very quick trip to turlock

this past weekend.

continuation of last blog.

i am trying this again...
the pictures of auntie alyson and the kids.

 haha, elleanne looks so funny.

 the packed up truck....
and there was a full car!

well....
i have another couple of pictures to 
show ...but it looks like 
i am going to have to pay a monthly fee to have more storage space for my blog....that is depressing huh?


we will see if i can make a case to mark?
well shoot...
this whole thing was to good to be true
huh?
