Nap Time

Miss Caroline hasn't been wanting to cooperate during her morning naps. I know she isn't ready for one nap because she does find time to nap in the mornings just not when she is supposed to =). Below is how her morning nap time went yesterday {not to mention, this is how today's is going right now too!}. She has started moving around in her crib a lot more lately, so we have removed two of the bumpers and last night we lowered her mattress.

Enjoying the Weather

The weather has been absolutely beautiful here lately, and we are definitely taking advantage of it! On Monday, we played outside and we swung a lot too! Here are some pictures from our time outside!

First Boat Ride

This past weekend we enjoyed another weekend at the lake. Caroline and Henry were finally able to put part of their Easter gifts from Grandma and Grandpa to use! We took them on their first boat ride. We had a nice ride over to one of the marina's, ate lunch, then rode back home! It was a lot of fun and the weather could not have been nicer! They seemed to both enjoy it, and they really liked it when they were able to "drive". =) Here are a TON of pictures from our weekend! These cuties are too cute not to share them all!

  Stephen took this next picture on our way back to the house after an evening boat ride. 

It was GORGEOUS!

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised

 On Sunday night, Caroline and Henry got to have a sleep-over. Stephen and I came home to attend a marriage conference at our church Sunday afternoon, so Caroline spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa. This was our first time to leave Caroline over night, and it was wonderful! The marriage conference was great! It was the Passionate Love Conference led by Joe White, Ted Cunningham, and our pastor Alex Himaya. All three guys were great, and they each had some great points on marriage. They are all very funny too. If you've never heard Ted Cunningham from Woodland Hills Family Church in Branson, you need to YouTube him! My jaws were hurting from laughing so hard!

Caroline's Eight Month Pictures

Back in April, we had Caroline's third photo session with Brenda Horan. She could not have been better for these pictures! They turned out perfect, and Brenda even put the last one on her website! Here they are...
