You Would Not Believe The News We Have

We are going to Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, SC!!! It looks like such a beautiful town filled with rich history and heritage. We have truly been blessed with this assignment. To make a long story short, we came very VERY close to having to go to Japan!! It just comes to show that God truly works in our lives. All we have to do is believe and trust in Him.

Downtown Sumter

And on top of that we are expecting...AGAIN!!!! I bet you didn't see that coming!!! We were a little surprised too but very excited!! I am due sometime around January. We will be leaving Phoenix sometime around October/November and start the next phase of our lives in South Carolina. We will keep you all posted as soon as we find out more. The Lord has truly blessed us this week and we give so much thanks to Him!!

Pics from this weekend

We had so much fun watching Aria this weekend!! She got to stay with us Friday night and all day Saturday while her mommy and daddy spent the day white water rafting. Here are just a few pictures from her stay with us.

cucumbers.....YUMMY!

Landen learning to share his toys

Aria just loves Toby!!

Landen forgetting that he's not suppose to pull little girl's hair. He was doing so good until then. :)

Attack of the babies! They thought it was hilarious to pounce on Luke. :)

Happy 81st b-day GG!!!

I love having company!! I literally picked up GG as I dropped off the girls at the airport. GG came to visit so she could spend her 81st birthday with us! We had a great time and enjoyed celebrating with GG and eating yummy cake (from the Cheesecake Factory..heavenly!) Can you believe how good she looks at 81?

A great girls weekend

Shannon and Judy came into town for the weekend. We had a great time. We were so sad to see them go. It was the first time I got to see Shannon preggers since she first found out. She is too cute!! And baby Carter was so sweet to kick in his momma's belly so I could feel him. After the girls let I realized I didnt' take one picture of all of us, which is unlike me. I love my pictures. I did take some belly pictures of cute little pregnant Shannon. She was relectant but I made her. :)

I can't wait to meet you Carter Thomas Stahley!!

Just a few more months!

Mr. Trouble

Unlike the previous post, which showed Landen's sweet side (or as Luke would put it "sissy side"), this post shows Landen's true boyish nature. He is into everything!! And he isn't even walking yet. I'm in trouble!!! Notice the knocked over trash can in the background. I wonder who did that?

He likes ramming his walker into the walls. He finds it quite amusing.

Trying to help mommy clean? Yeah, right! The only thing that needs cleaned in this picture is him!

Pretty Boy

Our bushes have been blooming in our backyard and Landen can't help but pick the pretty flowers. Yes, I know he's a boy, but I couldn't help but put a pretty flower behind his ear and snap a picture.

A GREAT WEEKEND

Landen hates the food we give him so much that he has resorted to eating dog food! But, really no kidding, he tried to eat it. Yuck!! :( And Toby is just looking in amazement going, "What is wrong with you. Why do you want to eat my crappy food, you get yummy human food?

Landen was watching daddy mow the grass (yes, the very small patch that we do have) so intensely. And notice how incredibly disgusting our glass door is from Toby goobers and Landen prints. Where is Photoshop when you need it? :)

Tommy and Olivia came over Saturday so Luke and I could have a date night. We had the pleasure of watching Aria on Friday while Tommy and Olivia went out. I think we could really get used to these date weekends. :) We had a wonderful time and they took such great care of our little guy. And notice in the picture how cute and girly Aria is, and then look at Landen. He is one truly messy boy. If his onesie had pockets they would be filled with all kinds of nasty things. Probably dog food. :)

Chocolate covered strawberries, YUMMY!!!

You know you have had a fun day when you look like this at the end of it. :)
