Some Family Pics.

It was so much fun to have my dad here and so much help. Savannah had a ton of fun playing princesses and barbies with my dad and he was such a great sport:) Here are some pictures that he took for us.

Fun in the Sun:)

We've been having a lot of fun lately. We've had some family in town and have appreciated the help and time that they have given us. Here are just a bunch of pictures of our time here recently.

Here are pictures of the first time we went to the beach with Grandpa and Grandma Jagoda. We did get a little rained on, but it soon stopped and we had some pretty good waves.

Here are Grandpa and Savannah playing in the waves.

Grandma & Savannah found some pretty cool shells.

Here are Dad and I catching a big wave. Yes, he is just body surfing, while I need a board to catch a wave:)

Here is the lighthouse in St. Augustine. It was quite a climb to get to the top, but we all made it the sweltering heat!

While we were out doing other things Dan & Dad took a fishing trip on the inter-coastal water way with Captain Larry. It's a pretty small boat for the self-proclaimed captain:)

Here is a family picture on Sunday when Jack was blessed.

Another day at the beach with wave jumping and shell collecting.

Happy 4th! (a little late:)

We had a great 4th of July! As most of you know we have finally moved to Jacksonville and

we are doing great! We are still getting settled and unpacking very slowly:) but we are having a good time. We were able to go to the beach for the fourth and it was great! We all loved it and we spent at least three hours there, and yes Dan was the only one to get a great sun burn, while the rest of us just tan:) Then we went home for a swim in the pool only to make it back to the beach for the fireworks later that night where both of the kids fell asleep.

We like it here in Jacksonville so far. There are so many things around here and so much to do. The library has a lot of things going for kids and there are a lot kids in our ward as well. We have met a few and I think it will be a good ward to be in. We've had help since being here as well. My dad was here for part of this week and then Dan's parents are coming in a couple of days. Savannah is thrilled to have them and thinks they are coming to see just her, which is partially true:) She tells everyone we see that her grandparents are coming to see her, even people in the store we don't know. We are doing great and will send an email out soon of all of our info here.

Here are Dan and Savannah fishing in the ocean. There were these little fish that match the sand that were very hard to catch!

This is what Jack does at the beach.

Here is the gang getting ready to watch fireworks.

Update on the kids!

It has been a fun two weeks of having two kids now! Savannah has loved having a little brother and helps out a ton. She is a little disappointed that he sleeps so much, but loves it when he is awake and loves to hold him. She is also so good at getting him to stop crying by shaking a rattle or singing to him. It's a sight that makes your heart melt. Savannah has also been busy playing with all of her friends, as we will be leaving soon. She is very sad to have to move aways from her friends but gets very excited about the fact to make new friends. We hope that she handles this move well, as I'm sure she will because she is very easy going and out going:)


Jack has been such a joy to have in our family. He is almost the exact opposite of Savannah when she was a baby. He loves to eat and eat and eat, and if he's not eating then he loves to sleep. He is also a nice cuddler. He loves to snuggle and his Mom and Dad love that! He is also beginning to have the potential to be a chuncker:) As you can see he loves to eat and he has already passed his birth weight by 7 oz, where most babies reach their birth weight at about this time. He is starting to smile and coo, and it's nice to have him awake a little more, although at night we would love it if he would sleep a little longer;)



Anyway, that's how the kids are doing and here are some more pictures just to add to the collection of our adorable children.

Here is Jack getting a bath at the hospital. This is another difference between Jack and Savannah. Savannah loves her baths and so far Jack doesn't:)

Another adorable Father's Day picture.

Jack and his Grandma Becker, Thank you so much for coming Mom!

Jack doing what he does best, sleep.

What a cute, peaceful boy!

Isn't this the best picture. Savannah put Jack to sleep in this picture. Jean, I have to figure out how to photo shop a different background than this, help:)

Yes, we had our baby:)

So, this just goes to show how bad at blogging I really am. We had our baby boy five days ago. The whole labor was only three hours long and so I'm feeling pretty good about that! He has been wonderful and he loves to eat and sleep. He is already past his birth weight, which many babies don't hit again until they are two weeks. He's not a big boy, but he is growing:) I'll give the stats and I'll send some more pictures when I get a little more on the ball.

Our Trip to Michigan

We just got back a few days ago on our last big trip before the baby comes. Since Dan doesn't have school and isn't working yet we decided to take advantage of the time and go to Michigan to see my brother and sister-in-law and their daughter. It was quite a drive, but we had a wonderful time while we were there. Bob and Emily are such great hosts and we loved getting to spend some one on one time with them. Savannah loved playing with Ellie and always talks about what they did together. We got there at about 1:30 Friday morning and then later that day, in the afternoon, we traveled up north to my grandparents cottage on Lake Huron. We spent a few days there enjoying each other and the quiet, peacefulness of the lake. We then went back to Lansing and spent the next couple of days playing, going to parks, spending great times together. Here are some of the pictures, actually there are a lot, but I always say that pictures tell it the best.

This is Savannah feeding Ellie, she just loved to help out anyway she could:)

Dan & Ellie, let's just say that she definitely liked Dan more then me, but I think he's pretty cute too so who can blame her;)

Graduation!!!

It's finally done! Dan has graduated from school and we are moving on with the next chapter in our lives. The hooding ceremony was Thursday morning at the school. It was outside and it was nice and cool for the whole ceremony. We are so proud of him and his accomplishments. He was a great student, with only one B+ and the rest As!! Here are some pictures of that wonderful day:)

Dan walking up to the stage. Savannah was sure excited to see her Dad walk by!

Savannah is very proud of her Daddy:)
