Such a great group!

Tess and I are part of a playgroup from our church that meets weekly.  What a fabulous group of ladies and kiddos!  It has been so fun to be able to be part of such a great group.  Thank you Melissa for being such a great leader! 

The pictures below are from our last playdate.

Happy Father's Day to all of our dads!

Dad, Garry, and Del, 

We love you all so much.  Thank you for always being there for us!  We are so grateful to have all of you in our lives.  We hope that this Father's Day is a special one for each of you. 

Love and Hugs,
Tim, Jen, and Tessa

Happy Father's Day babe! We love you!

Wow, I'm not even sure where to begin with this post.  There are so many silly stories I could tell, and so many heartfelt moments I want to share.  I have to remember that I'm not writing a book here.  The last two years of watching Tim as a father have been so incredibly amazing.  The way he laughs with Tess, the way he holds her when she's sad, the way they work on projects around the house together (daddy's little helper she is), the way he reassures her when she is scared, the way they giggle together while reading a silly book, the way he teaches her about life, and the way he shows her what loving Jesus is all about.  They all make me smile and melt my heart.  God has blessed us in countless ways.  Tess has the best dad in the world, and I have the best hubby in the world.  Thank you so much babe for all that you do to make us a family!  We love and cherish you more than we could ever say with words.  Happy Father's Day!

A trip to the Ocean

What a fun and beautiful trip we had to the ocean.  We stayed in Ocean Shores.  Tim had some business there, so we all went.  The weather held up and was sunny most of the time.  I love the ocean.  We played in the water, felt the sand between our toes, spent several hours beach combing, and enjoyed it all together as a family.

Just being a little girl!

  It seems like the closer we get to summer, the busier we get.  We have been doing many fun things the last few weeks.  When the weather is nice, we spend most of our time outside. 

Happy 2nd birthday cousin Ashton.  Our nephew Ashton turned two a few weeks ago.  He had his birthday party at Bounce It Up.  It was our first time there, and we all loved it.  Tim and I felt like kids again bouncing on all the toys.

What a little climber Tess is.  If you build it, she will climb it.

Look at that concentration.  Working so hard on painting a picture for daddy.
