Thank You

Thank you for your prayers these last few days!

Our little Autumn Faith seems to be getting better. Her fever is gone!!! She is a happier girl too!!! Her appetite still isn't the same, but she is staying hydrated! God is so faithful to us! He gives us strength when we are in need, as well as so many other wonderful things! I love Him more everyday!

Thanks again and stay tuned for more blogs. I am behind, so hopefully you will see a new one every day or so. Love to you all!

Prayer Please

I know you all have prayed for our family so much, and I thank you. I need to humbly ask you to pray for little Autumn right now. She has a throat infection which is causing sores in her throat and a pretty good fever. She can't take the medicine to help her fight this because it would hurt her kidneys. The only relief she has is Tylenol every 4 hours. This is helping, but in between times, she is pretty miserable. Her fever gets up to the 103 degree range toward the end of the time. (I know this isn't as dangerous for kids as it is for adults, but it still seems quite high to us.) The biggest worry with all of this is that she will not eat or drink because of the pain and get dehydrated. Dr. Juarbe (the best peditrician) said she's not contagious and to carry on life as normal, but she is pretty uncomforable and cranky. We all just feel so bad for her. This is supposed to last 10 days, with the first 5 being the worst. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated. We know God will help her through this. He is so good and loving. May He bless you today in a special way as well. Thanks! Love to you all!

Partying with the Girlfriends

Jayna had a few girls over to help celebrate her 6th birthday. The girls celebrated with a cheer party. It was great fun!

Here are all the girls having some dinner together. The menu was all finger foods per Jayna's request. This is how she prefers to eat everything.

Playing on the swing set always leads to some major fun!

While the are heads apart, Jayna and Rayna are such good friends!

The girls had no problem breaking in Aaron's new Father's Day gift!

Makailyn was helping Jayna read her very sweet card!

Jayna had so much fun with her friends! She was glad they came to help her celebrate! They are very nice and polite girls!

Our New Nephew/Cousin!

We want to welcome Toby David into our family! He was born on July 19th. He weighed 8 lbs. 9 oz. and was 20 3/4 in. long. What a joy and blessing to have another baby in the family! Congratulations Sep, Allison and Tucker!

Playing at Grandpa Gene and Grandma Ellie's

Jayna, Autumn and cousin Kahnen play in the pool. They had a ball splashing around!

Jayna is spraying Kahnen with the hose. He thought this was great fun!

Jayna and Kahnen cuddling on the couch together.

Too Much Summer Fun

A long day on the road leads to a good nap on the way home.

After playing all day, Jayna decides to use her pillow as a blanket for her legs.

Autumn had too much fun at the park, so she feel asleep just after taking a nice cold drink from her water.

A little biased opinion, but aren't they ADORABLE?!?!

Kindergarten Graduation

Of course, the traditional family photo!

Jayna looked so much more grown up and smarter after this year! She was very proud of herself!

Jayna and her very favorite teacher, Mrs. Firenze!

This is one of Jayna's good friends, Katie!

The night was made very special by having Grandma Hess, Uncle Sep, Aunt Allison, Tucker, Grandpa Gene and Grandma Ellie all in attendance! Thank you for making Jayna feel so important!
