Silas Johnathan Kapenga

He is here! 2 weeks early but he is here and healthy. My brother John and his wife Christi were blessed with a baby boy on Sunday. Silas Johnathan Kapenga. 6lbs 7oz. 20inches long. He is beautiful. God is so good. He is so amazing and it is so evident exspecially to me in newborns. Praise God for another healthy and beautiful addition to the family. Congrats John and Christi!

Little Red

I had the opportunity to shoot a friend from work's daughter. She is absolutly adorable. For some reason I wasnt able to upload them to my website so I thought I would let her preview a few here. These are a few of my favorites. We will just call her "Little Red," seeing how that is her nick name at work. Hope you like them Jill!

Evan being naughty

And the fun begins of chasing our little man all over the house. It is amazing how fast he went from slow crawling to being anywhere in a turn of the head. He knows the tv is off limits but heads for it anyway. I got a few of him for the first time really disobeying mommy.

Another post with out pictures

Yes I know, I have been slacking lately. I havent posted anything really with pictures lately. I havent even touched my camera in almost a week which is so out of the ordinary for me. We have been working working working lately to get out house in order for our open house. Unfortunatly for our realator, her grandma passed away this week so the open house has been pose poned until next weekend. I wish it was on differnt circumstances, but it gives Ryan another week to get all the painting out side done.
Unfortunatly the boat market is not picking up at all and Ryan is layed off for another two weeks. However, after he gets back they do have work for a while, but it looks like there will be more periodicly through the rest of the year. (Temperory lay-offs) It is really sad how bad our economy is right now. All we can do is hope and pray things change, and trust and have faith God will provide as He always does.
Not much else to say today. Evan is screaming so I better go see what he and dad are up to.

And he is off!

Evan is now crawling like a champ. He is still kinda slow but he is doing it! Mom and Dad are so proud of him!

Here we go again!

Its offical! Our house is on the market! I am excited and now starting to realize i cant let my house go like I sometimes would. I think that is going to be my biggest thing. Having a kid now, it is amazing how disorganized and messy I have become! I never used to be like that, but now I guess I better step it up and make sure my house is picked up on more of a regular basis. I think our neighbors are wondering what in the world is going on with the sign in our yard. We are really excited and hope it sells. It could take a while though so we will see. We got lucky with our first house. I never had to have an open house, in fact the first people who walked through our house after a week of it being on the market, made an offer and bought it. I highly doubt that is the way it will go this time, but just in case, my house is spotless!
Evan is pretty much crawling. It is kinda army crawl/ real crawling. It is more of a sideways crawl but he is getting were he wants to go. It is so cute. He also knows the word "bottle" and refers to it as "baba" He is such a funny little guy.
Not much else is new. I'll keep ya posted!

Alright, so I have been yelled at by more than one person that my blog is outdated and I had to update it. Oops. I guess I didnt realize how long it had been since I had been on here. We have been so busy the last couple weeks, they just fley right by. I cant believe we are already done with the first week of September!
Anyway, Ryan and I have been busy "finishing" the rest of our house. There were so many little things here and there that had to get done and we just kept putting off. I have been painting the walls a new main house color because we hated the one we first chose. I was 7 1/2 months pregnant when we finished this house and I just wanted to be in. (What can I say, I was pregnant and living with my in laws! NOT THAT THEY ARE BAD PEOPLE!:) ) Anyway-so I have been painting and ryan has been finishing all the other good stuff. He put the brick stone on the back of our island, and in the entry way did the brick stone on the bench when you walk in. Yesterday he took a half day from work and did the crown molding on the cabinets. So yeah, we have been busy people. I know when we have told people this they have thought we were mad, or just plain sick, but we have actually met with our realator and as of next week it will be officially on the market again. We are very excited about this and hope it sells. We realize in todays market that houses dont always sell right away, and that is fine but we just thought it would be nice to get our money in our pocket now in case something happens with Ryan's job situation. Today's economy is just not good and it doesnt seem to be getting any bettter. We would rather be safe right now, wait a year and build again. We are really excited and as you can see have been seriously busy trying to get it ready.
Not much is new with Evan. He is SO close to crawling. Hasnt down it quite yet but he is scootiung everywhere he wants to go, so I dont know when it will be. He does say Dada now, but not as frequently as mama. :) I carried him for nine months so I deserve that right? No teeth yet either. Which amazes me because all his other friends have at least 2 already.
Anyways- Tonight we are off to our anual cousins party. Cant wait. We always have a good time. Alright now, I updated so no one yell at me again! :)
