Drum Roll Please...

to all our faithful blog followers obviously I have not kept up with our family blog like I have wanted to. I guess pregnancy will do that to you- they tell me.

In order to make up for not letting you all know that we are expecting our first born, and to tell you that it is a boy. I thought I would let you all be the first to know his name. :)

William (Will) Jeremiah Snyder

William after his daddy, and being that it has been in God's will that we have been blessed with this little blessing.
Jeremiah after my dad, Jerry, and James' dad, Michael.
Snyder... the easiest to hear God's voice on. :D

Getting Ready for the Little Man!

We found this "deal" that just fell into our laps a few Saturdays ago when we were suppose to be finding baby furniture.I couldn't resist taking a picture of daddy putting it together- Grace on the other hands still has NO CLUE as to what's going on!

Trey's 4!

If you can't tell he loves to eat- especially sweets! Honestly who can blame him?

Can you tell he liked his Mickey Mouse cake?!?

His favorite present of all was this Little Einstein musical card. He kept opening and closing it over and over again. Can you guess what he's getting for Christmas? :)

For our IA/AZ families...

updated pictures of the grandkids!

Our pet squirrel

decided to carry on a conversation with James the other day, so he ran inside and grabbed his camera. I guess "it" was saying- take my picture! ???

Perhaps we should give "it" a name :D

Kota's visit

or should I say vacation? Kota stayed with us for almost a week, and kept Grace very well entertained. Grace would definitely love to have a playmate, but her mommy and daddy have decided we are a one dog family.

Of course Grace had to play Frisbee- and Kota wanted to play too! She just loved to chase Grace around and jump on her. Kota is definitely not in the retriever family- just the extended family. :)

Our Frisbee Queen

Gracey just loves to play Frisbee... EVERYDAY... sometimes twice. She never let's us forget and never understands why we can't everyday- apparently the weather doesn't bother her. Here is her in an action shot. which I think is amazing- dad says it his new toy!

She hardly ever let's the crazy thing drop, and is famous for her victory lap she takes after she catches it.

She reminds me of a dog we had when we were growing up- we have to make her stop and rest. It's usually pretty easy to convince her when we turn on the water. Thankfully something works!
