utter joy!

Finally, getting around to updating you all a bit! The big change is that Ryan got a new job at Grace fellowship church as the youth director (yeah!!!) and we cannot be more overjoyed and blessed! To start it off he was able to to take 12 kids and 7 leaders on a mission trip to the domican republic a couple wks ago! They got to serve food, visit hospitals, play with kids in the villages, hand out hygenine kits, bought a house and gave it to a family...wow!
Heres the team eating together!
Ryan and I were able to get away to palm springs to the viceroy, this is what we did, pretty entertaining....so perfect!


Our sweet baby girl turned the big "3" on april 28! Nothing fancy just celebrated with a trip to disneyland and a big family dinner at rain forest cafe, and Ry and I surprised her with a bike at toys r us and she was a pro riding it for the first time! She is the joy of our life!
Ryan has finally found some time to start golfing, taylor would yell, "my turn" every time after Ryan would swing!

A daughter and daddy bonding over legos!
Im 15 wks pregnant (cant beleive it) and lets just say my first trimester was harsh, everything made me sick and lived off cheerios! Taylor took such good care of her mama in my nausious and tired moments, she is going to be such an amazing helper and big sis!

Hume Lake!

We had the honor of taking 22 amazing kids to hume this year..incredible experience! We LOVE ministry and LOVE these kids! We were in our element and it was such a great week talking, and hanging out...they all came back filled with life! The verse of the week was" You are the salt of the earth." Matt 5:13
Probably a runner up for the annual christmas photo!
We are so grateful to our Papa T and Nana, tay and I were able to stay with them at there friends house all week, complete blesssing! This allowed me to be semi involved for chapel times and cabin times and other activities during the week! They love us so well! So thankful for them!
Taylor loved watching the kids at rec time! She would say, "Taylor's turn"!
