Binder Park Zoo






We went to Binder Park Zoo today. We went with Great Grandma, Grandma, Aunt Cindy, Tami and Luke. We had so much fun. Our Favorite part was getting our faces painted. We sat so still. Mom was amazed. We also loved feeding the Giraffes. It was so much fun seeing all of the creatures that God created and in awe of his imagination.

FOREVER FRIENDS
Jana and Sawyer
Friends we'll be forever
No matter what they say
Each of us so special
In every different way

Always there to help you
No matter near or far
Love you cause your precious
Just the way you are

Couldn't make it clearer
The words that I now say
To me you are the sunshine
You brighten up my day

You are so very sweet
You have a heart made of gold
I love you very dearly
To you my heart is sold

We’ll be friends forever
Weather you know it or not
I know you are so kind
I care about you alot

I love every thing about you
We go separate ways
I love my Sawyer
I love him for all the days.

Came by for a visit
So nice what friends will do
Go that extra mile you see
Because my hearts with you.

Brothers and Sisters



My little eyes
are watching
All you say and do
And when I grow up
big and tall
I want to be like you.

My little ears
are listening
To everything you say
I am learning how
to grow up
To be like you
someday.

So be careful how
you teach me
To be the person
that you are.
You’re a knight in
shining armor
You’re my brightest
shining star.
Cole Fed Jana a bottle for the first time today...

Jana 2 months

Where has time gone? Jana is two months old already:) She weighs 8.13 oz. She is 20.5 inches long. She loves two smile. She also is beginning to talk to us. It is so cute when she makes her baby noises. She amazes us every day. She is already rolling over from front to back. She loves laying in her crib watching her mobile. We just introduced her to the boppy today. She loved it. She loves looking up at the toys. Jana also does not mind tummy time when she is laying on it. Seth decided that he was going to be a baby this morning and we looked over to find him laying on it moving his head up and down. It was funny.

Seth David Blanchard

If I had to describe Seth I would say Full of life. From the moment he was born he has been moving, rocking and shaking up our house:) He is always making us smile. He loves to describe things and talk with his eyes. His favorite food these days is Rice Crispy treats and Corn Dogs. He adds a "y" to a lot of his words. For instance if you say I love you. He will say I love you "morey". If he wants his cousin Luke he will say "Lukey". A couple of Sundays on the way to Church Seth said" Mom God protects us when we are fraid?" I said" yes he does" . Do you want to pray to Jesus?" He said "Dear Jesus Word God please help be good protect me from the Lions, help me be good at the lake. And Dear God Please do not let me poop in my pants!" Amen:)

James Cole Blanchard

Today I have a 6 yr old. I know people say the time goes by fast but it seems like it was just yesterday I was in the hospital in Labor. He is such a boy now. As much as he challenges me day to day with his actions he challenges me to be a better Mom. Like for instance last week when I asked him why he was being naughty and he said because you forgot to do devotions with me last night. Wow I thought out of the mouth of babes. He knows already how to make his walk with God a better one. Last night he wrapped his arms around my neck and said " Mom I am glad God gave me to you." I am glad you are my Mom you are the best Mom in the whole world." I of course kissed his head and swelled with tears and joy. As much as our kids frustrate us when they are little we have to remember that time goes by in a flash and we will long for those days when we were the center of the universe. Someday they will think we are dorks and do not know anything. I am so excited to see Cole grow up into a Man of God. He amazes me on a daily basis on his biblical knowlege already. HE makes me want to study scrpiture and learn more about God. For now I am going to cherish each day that he thinks I am wonderful and teaches me something new.
We have had a wonderful Summer. In June the Blanchard Household was blessed with Princess Jana Elizabeth Blanchard. Weighing in at 7 pounds. She was 18.5 inches long. She is a Angel Baby. She has been a wonderful baby.
