Bedtime Buds

Tonight we happened to get the boys bathed and ready for bed at the same time. I bathed Noah in the kitchen while Shane gave Nathan his bath. We put their pjs on together and it was so nice to have two sweet smelling clean little boys ready for bed.

Nathan Helps with Noah’s Bath

I have been on a big video kick these days. I have finally got my system so that I can shoot, edit, and then post videos in HD so I thought I would put some of the boys up. I have a couple (Meredith as a super hero and the infamous Nathan Nekid Dance) that I will have to share with family only.

The Calvary Lil Praisers

Check out my boy singing at church. He has some trouble standing still, but he sure does like to sing. I don’t remember me back at that age, maybe that is like me. I know that as I got older I got much more shy than he is. Whatever else you can say about him you gotta say he has a whole bunch of confidence.

I would suggest clicking the link and watching it at the YouTube site so you can watch it in “HD” so it will  be larger.

Beach Bums 2009

This year when we went to the beach we stayed at a different condo and my family came to stay with us. It was a nice relaxing weekend, the weather was perfect and Nathan loved every minute of it...from the condo and the pool to the sand and the ocean to FeFe, One, Uncle Jonathan, Jennifer and Aunt Amanda to the best part...rainbow popcorn from Popcorn Kingdom at Pier Park. Nathan played and played and played. Noah didn't care too much for the beach but he slept pretty good at the condo. Our friends Danny and Theresa have a beautiful place where we stayed and we hope to stay there again and again.

Sunday School

Nathan with Mrs. Maxie and the 2 & 3 yr olds. They all weren't as excited as Nathan about having their picture made. Nathan loved Mrs. Maxie's class. More than once on a weekday he would ask to go to Sunday school because he enjoyed being with them so much.

Noah gets spoiled rotten, I mean gets special attention, by Mrs. Theresa who rocks him and sings "Jesus Loves Me" to him each week.

Me and my faithful senior high girls, Andrea, Ashley and Brittney.

Our church year starts in September and to honor the Sunday School teachers, Penny, the Sunday School director went and took pictures of all the classes and did a presentation in the morning service the last Sunday in August. Then sweet Penny emailed the pictures to me. These pictures are about a month old but I want to include them on the blog to share this important part of our lives. God blesses us everyday through our church and I look forward to what He still has in store. I am not teaching this time for the first time in 9 years so I will be attending a young adult class and though I will miss seeing those sweet girls each week I am excited about being taught and diggging in God's Word with adults for a change.

Pickle Sandwich

Children are strange creatures sometimes. Precious but strange. Nathan has eaten pickles on his ham sandwich from Subway two maybe three times in his life. At the BBQ restaurant here in town they have a really good smoked turkey sandwich he eats well, just turkey and bread. Today when we pulled up to eat lunch there and he saw where we were, he says "Mommy, I want a pickle sandwich." I chuckled and said okay. Of course I went in and ordered him the turkey sandwich. When the waitress brought it he still insisted he wanted a pickle sandwich. So I went back to the counter and got a little cup of pickles and went back to the table and took the turkey off his bread and put the pickles on... and that my friend is what my child ate for lunch "A pickle sandwich!"

Noah Kicks

It turns out that Sunday was a big day for the Yanceys. Nathan said a verse in church and then after he went to be Meredith and I convinced ourselves that Noah was reaching for these toys with his feet.
