Kids updates...

Since the last update, Naomi has been baptized! She was baptized on July 10th, 2011. It was a really nice service too! Also, there were no blowouts this time!!

She did fall asleep during the service, after being baptized though. :) We really like the Pastor who did both the kids' baptisms. Such a nice guy! If we ever renew our vows we're going to have to do it in Ellsworth so the same Pastor can do it :)

The service was great, Naomi did wonderful! The Pastor did say that when he was putting the water over her head and blessing her, a calm came over her! And every time he was saying her name she would look right at him! :)

Brodie was good. He didn't stand up there with us. He wanted to stay in the pews and play. Eventually Auntie Eden took him out of church and down to the play area. He was being a bit rambunctious. haha

After service we went over to Great-Grandpa & Grandma Gwinner's house for lunch. There were sandwiches, fruit, cake... Family and friends came! It was nicely decorated too! It was very humid out so we were all pretty hot, but other than that it was very nice afternoon!

Brodie had a great time playing with the kids and running around. And Naomi was held most of the time. :)

It was a great weekend. Before heading there, the kids were already there from the previous weekend. But when we got home, we were all so glad to be back home. We asked Bro if he was glad to be back and he goes "yes!" haha

I don't want to leave our kids for a week again!! :) No more of that for a long time, that's for sure!

*******************************

In less than a month our little baby girl will be a ONE YEAR OLD TODDLER!! She won't be a baby any more. It's so crazy, this year has really just flown by! Seems to have gone by a lot faster than Brodie's first year.

I still haven't decided on a theme for her birthday party. I don't want something obviously girly, like a princess party or something like that. We're still throwing around ideas ;)

She's also walking A LOT more now! She's still 70% crawling, but she's getting around pretty well on just two legs! I'm sure by the time she turns 1 she'll be nothing but walking (or running)! :)

********************************

Brodie's doing fantastic. Growing and learning more every day. Ben fixed him up with an old iPhone. It's more like an iPod Touch than iPhone though. But he loves it and it's loaded with all his favorite games so he can just sit and play it instead of trying to get our phones or the iPad. :) haha

He's definitely going to be a little computer nerd like his daddy! And Naomi sometimes is interested in the technologies too, but Brodie usually takes whatever she's looking at away... haha

*******************************

Both kids are doing really well, they're both healthy and happy. No issues here!!

I hope to get the place where we'll have Naomi's birthday party reserved and let you all know when/where/etc. :) We are shooting for August 13th though, it's a Saturday! :)
