First Day of Third Grade




Ughhh.... I can't believe Jon Harris is in third grade. How? When??? Where did the time go? He is such a neat kid! I love everyday that I get to spend getting to know the person that God is molding into an OUTSTANDING young man! I am so honored to be your mother, "J Mac."





Special "K" aka Kason











Kason is growing so fast! I can't believe that he is almost 3 months. He is so precious! He is smiling, laughing, and trying to roll over. He wants to talk to you so bad when you talk to him. Oh Yea! He is loving his thumb right now. It is the sweetest thing to see him smacking on it!



He is such a joy and blessing in our lives. I LOVE being an aunt!






Jon Harris' New Friend

This is Jon Harris' new friend.... I am kidding. He can't stand this thing but has to wear it for at least the next year along with braces. I have to crank this thing once a day until he has more space in his mouth. He should get his braces in the next couple of weeks. I can't believe he is old enough for braces. My baby is growing so fast! Oh, he would be so embarrassed that I called him a baby on the computer! But any mother understands that our kids will always be our babies no matter how big or old they are!
I LOVE YOU, Jon Harris!



Goodbyes Are So Darn Hard

I have been in tears since we found out that some of our closest friends are moving to San Antonio. We have been honored to get to spend time with the Stantons since Jon Harris and Savannah were in Kindergarten. Jon Harris and Savannah have had a special friendship and bond that I can't even explain. They are so sweet together and love each other so much!

Courtney (Savannah's mom) is one of those friends that are few and far between. We have been raising our kids together for 3 years. That doesn't sound like a very long time but it feels like we have been together forever! Danny, Courtney, Savannah, Tucker, and Charlie have touched our lives forever. They will be missed but never forgotten. We are already planning a trip to see them in July 2012. Our friendship will continue to grow thanks to Facetime, Skype, and cars.:) I am sure the kids will be on their ipods a whole lot facetiming each other!

To the Stantons: We love you guys! You will be in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you!

church camp














All four of the Weaver crew got to go to church camp this summer. What a blessing! It was awesome! There was no "family time" but it was great to see Jon Harris having so much fun with new friends that he has made. Bo was a sixth grade counselor. I got to see him at meals and sometimes in between. As for me and Nash, we were in the Craft House. He stayed with me most of the time unless I was crafting with the kiddos in the afternoons. I had a BLAST! I got to know more people in my church family and made connections with a few girls in my cabin that have forever left a stamp on my heart. Nash was so funny and had fun... but the poor thing did not get much sleep which meant that I didn't get much sleep. The last night of camp, my hero mother-in-law, came to save me. Needless to say, I slept the entire last night at camp and Nash slept 12 hours at my in-law's house. I wish I had more pictures to show but I only have a couple and none of Jon Harris because I could not get him to slow down enough for pictures. Jon Harris said that it was the best week of his life!



Here were a couple of highlights of the week:






  • Watching Jon Harris making new friends



  • Jon Harris got an "Entrepreneurship Award" for selling a baked item to the person that made it. He can be very persuasive! ( He gets his saleman tactics from his Papa and Uncle Ryan)



  • Watching the children and youth that were baptized.... I got chill bumps everytime.



  • Seeing Jon Harris get on the stage in front of everyone and doing the "Robot." He is a dancing machine!



  • Going for walks with Nash in his wagon



  • Nash acting silly.... Everyone laughs when I ask him what he calls his daddy. He sticks his lips out and says "Booooouwa."



  • The Snack Shack



  • Late night craft making with the girls in our cabin



  • CRAFTS



  • Last but not least, seeing how God works in all of our lives especially all the kids and youth that were there.













Bellevue's 4th of July Celebration

We enjoyed a night of great music, great company, and FIREWORKS! I look foward to this night all year. I am so thankful that Bellevue offers a wonderful night of Christian based family fun!



My favorite picture....Isn't this sweet? Jon Harris is the best big brother. He is always like this with Nash, so sweet and patient!
