Tim's promotion

In December Tim was finally promoted to E6-Staff Seargent. Wahooo! Congrats Tim! He worked very hard to get this promotion and it is well deserved!

Staff Seargent MannTim asked me to "pin" (The new uniforms are all velcro) on his rank.

Maj. Heinman-one of Tim's bosses, she thinks he's pretty great. (I think he was distracted by the kids hence the askewed look )

Funny story-this Sgt. Major of the hospital just randomly popped in to the promotion ceremony (Tim has never talked to the fellow) and did this "old tradition" of wetting his rank. Tim and his buddies were a bit perplexed.

Christmas Program

This was Brady's Christmas Program at school. They sang for us then we had cookies and juice. Yum! His Daddy couldn't be there for the program so he gave us a sneak peak the night before at dinner. It always amazes me how many songs he knows.

Just chillin-no rush to get up.

All done and so daper!

Grayson's Baptism

Even though Grayson was older than the norm for an infant baptism, I still wanted him neked and to be dunked. Well, there was a miscommunication, I wanted him held and dunked and my dad just sat him in the font then baptised him by pouring the water over his head. Well, I forgot that he hates that and with the first pour he stood up and tried to make a break for it, therefor all of our pictures of the actual baptism came out a tad inappropriate to post! :) This picture is just after the pouring of the water.

This sequence of pictures cracks me up! All I wanted was a nice picture of him in his precious little baptismal outfit, but he was being such a stinker and wouldn't sit still for any pictures, so I thought I might get some better ones outside with him standing and this is what I got.

My mom offered to make the cake and I gave in and said ok. She did a beautiful job!

Godmothers are such a blessing!

Brady's Soccer

Super Star!

He gave me a thumbs up after every goal he scored. Too cute!



So serious-ready to play!

Brady's insights

We asked Brady what came first, the chicken or the egg. This is how the conversation went:

Daddy: Hey Brady, which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Brady: The chicken of course.

Daddy: But if a chicken hatches from an egg, how did the chicken get here?

(without hesitation he replies)

Brady: Because God created the chicken.

And Daddy was done playing stump the kid. haha! This conversation made me smile! Happy Sunday.
