He Knows My Name

On the way to church on Sunday, Jeff and I were talking about names for Baby J and how excited were are to find out on Tuesday if we are having a boy or girl! Well, at the end of the service we sang a song during the invitation for people to respond to the Gospel with a line that says...He knows my name...It's a very good song, but I hadn't thought about this related to Baby J! The Lord already knows Baby J's name!!! Even though Jeff and I do not, Jesus does...and has since before time began! Jesus was thinking about Baby J when He died on the cross...He died to save Baby J!!! I was so overwhelmed with this thought and how AWESOME my Lord really is!!! The infinitely God of the universe loves and cares for Baby J more than I can fathom or even begin to understand!!! What an amazing God we serve!!!

The Latest on Baby J

I went for a check up on Friday and everything was great! Hearing the heartbeat has to be the most amazing sound in the world!!! We are going on June 2nd to find out if we are having a boy or a girl! We can't wait to find out what we're having...although Jeff is completely convinced that Baby J is a boy! Guess we'll find out soon enough!!! Unfortunately we don't have any new pictures this time.
I'm also starting to show a bit and beginning to wear some maternity clothes. We'll try to get a picture soon of the baby belly! :)

Celebrating Bryce and Laney's 1st Birthday

Even though the babies' real birthday is February 21st, we had our celebration on Sunday. Laney was cleared to be around other kids so their cousins Cade and Jace were able to come to the party! It was so fun with all four kids there!
Here's Laney looking at her new book. This is just what I like to see...being a teacher and all!

Bryce looking at his new book too! Both of them loved their books from their mom and dad!

Getting ready to have their cakes! How cute do they look in their hats! Surprisingly they kept them on long enough for all of us to get pictures!!!
So...they both were very curious about the cakes at first...however, neither one was thrilled with the feeling of the icing on their hands! Laney just looked at us like "Please get this off of me!" and Bryce (as you can see here) was trying to wipe it off his hands on the tray!
Maybe next year they will get to the yummy cake part and enjoy it a little bit more! We got them all cleaned up and they head to bed for a nap! When I talked to Rita later she said they woke up and were happy as can be! It was such a blessing to get to celebrate such a wonderful day with our family! Bryce and Laney truly are little miracles!

My 27th Birthday

We went to Mom and Paul's for my birthday. I tried out some maternity clothes since I'm starting to show some. Here's Jeff and me!!
Me with the babies!!
Bryce and Laney with Rita and me playing with the table Jeff and I got them for Christmas! They both love plaing with it!
Laney started pusing herself some on their little car toy and Bryce had pulled himself up on the table! He was quite proud of himself!!
It was a great day!

Mom's Birthday

We got to have Mom's birthday get together at our house because Laney was cleared to be out! Here's Mom, Rita, me with Bryce and Laney!!!
Just Mom and me with the babies!Laney's sweet smile!
Bryce looking mischievous!!!
Bryce started pulling up this weekend as well! How fun is that!!!

Babysitting the Babies!

A little while ago I had the priviledge to babysit the two sweetest babies...Bryce and Laney! We were playing on the floor for a while and had fun singing songs! What happy babies!! Love Laney's smile...always brightens the room!!!
Bryce only thought he was getting away until Laney grabbed on! He didn't get far! Getting ready to have some food! They take turns very well already! :)
