Our Trip to the Zoo!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share some pictures from our trip to the zoo on Saturday! It was a great family day. Kilee Anne really enjoyed seeing the animals and Scott and I had fun, too. We started with all of the big animals, which Kilee really enjoyed. The picture where Scott's holding her is from the Elephant exhibit where they were looking at the new baby elephant, Scotty. She loved the giraffes, too. We walked through the petting zoo as well and Kilee was very interested in the goats. We brought some snacks with us and sat down and ate for awhile and soon Kilee Anne was asleep! Scott and I enjoyed the rest of the zoo, especially the Herpaquarium with the Albino alligator, "King Louie." We were walking through the snake exhibit in the herpaquarium and just when we got to the dark room with all of the snakes in it, I stepped on a straw that some kid had left in the floor and nearly screamed! Scott thought it was pretty funny. After the zoo, we went out for Chinese food. It was great day! We were so excited to get to take our kid to the zoo! Enjoy the pictures. . .

New Pictures

Here are a few new pictures! This is from our anniversary date last night. We went to PF Chang's and ate incredible Chinese. One of the perks of PF Chang's is that they have a Gluten Free Menu for Scott, so he has a lot of food to choose from. It was great! They brought us free desserts, too! One for me and a special GF one for Scott. They were so thoughtful. Then, we went to Java Brewing Co. for some coffee and on home to relieve our wonderful babysitters, a couple of college students from summer staff. Kilee Anne did really well. We hung out for awhile and then went on to bed. Scott and I are both sick with the same virus Kilee had! Oh well.
Here are a few pictures of Kilee playing in the living room that I thought you all might enjoy. She's a sweetie!

August Update

Hello Everyone! Sorry it's been so long since we've posted. Camp is now over and we have moved back home until next May. It was such an amazing summer. So many youth and children surrendered their lives to Christ, to full-time ministry and decided to get real in their relationship with Christ! It was hard to be away from home at times, but when we look at the big picture -- it was a tiny sacrifice when compared to the bountiful kingdom harvest we witnessed at camp. We are so blessed to be a part of such an amazing ministry!
Kilee Anne continues to grow like a weed! She is now 7 and a half months old, sitting up by herself, scooting around in circles on her belly, and babbling endlessly (da da da da ta ta ta ta ba ba . . .) It is too cute! We laugh because sometimes she talks in a rough-sounding voice like she's growling. We were watching Independence Day on cable the other night and Bill Pullman plays the president in it. He's always been known for his growly voice and Scott and I just started giggling because we were thinking, "Please God, don't let our little girl's voice sound like Bill Pullman's." She's stayed pretty healthy over the past few weeks, but this week she came down with a random cold virus. The doctor told us there's no medicine that will help, just to wait it out. She's been a trooper -- I'm just exhausted from being up with her all night suctioning out her nose and giving her Tylenol and Benedryl. We'll make it.
As of tomorrow, Scott and I will have been married 4 years! We have a big date planned, complete with a babysitter and reservations at a fancy restaurant. I am SO pumped! Well, i need to get to sleep while little miss Kilee is sleeping. Here are some recent pictures -- enjoy!
