Since we had three families this time I was told that Rockrimmon campus would give us adequate room as opposed to Woodmen Heights were we all attend now. It's the same church, there are just two campuses in Colorado Springs and we used to attend the Rockrimmon campus when we lived in our apartment.
Here are my boys getting ready to go on Saturday evening!
All three families up front. Thanks to Amber for taking pictures!
Cindy Fitzkee and Carl Lane performed the dedication this time.
Praying over our sweet little man! Such a responsibility we have!
Love this sweetheart so much.
Landin, with Kyle & Jen and big brother Jamin!
Jonah, with Andrew & Brittney and Brittney's parents.
Praying for Jonah.
Josh working my purse.
Side note: Josh just has made it through the first several rounds in the hiring process for the Colorado Springs Police Department! They started with 2000 applicants and are down to 133. They will make offers to 40. We are so proud of him for making it this far with the testing and interviewing. Please pray for him and Amber as he proceeds! He would make an excellent police officer.
Jim and Karla came to support us too. Our boys love them.
We like them a lot too.
Families with their dedicated boys.
Our small group! Except for Craig & Mandi.
There are some tall people in our group! Its funny. In high school I always felt really tall. Now, I'm the shorty!
Our family of four.
Our future pianist!
Jamin and Nathan eating pizza at Louie's afterward!
Nathan got a quarter our his Aunt Cole :)

Jen and me and our littlest boys!
These two have a lot of fun together.
Josh, home from his big night!
Love this coat Aunt Court
I'm so thankful for this sweet, little man.
Both of our little men!
Ignore the pizza all over Nathans' face!
The church gave us a certificate and a book with handouts to fill out...parenting plan for each year, places to put pictures and memories...I think I have homework to do!
Super sweet card from Jim and Karla.
So encouraged by these words...
"Raising a child is a leap of faith, and you're already soaring." This job is harder than we thought; the reward is sweeter than we expected too. But it's so nice to feel affirmed along the way!
This was a great idea! Jen handed these pictures of Landin out to those they invited with a message on the back about wanting our accountability and prayers and they raise Landin in the ways of Christ. Isn't he adorable?
Jen also made a sweet card for Josh. Unfortunately, on the way home my purse and all of our cards were directly under Nathan's wet, muddy, dripping church shoes. It had snowed that day! Anyway, it seems we lost the "J", "S" & "U" along the way!
I think it's funny though :) We appreciated the sweet note inside and are so grateful to be walking this road of parenthood and enjoying our boys with this family and the other families in our small group!
Update: Nathan just confessed to pulling the other letters off of the card in the car! I didn't even know he had it! ha ha. Well, that makes a lot more sense.

I figured out how to get on here! Love the pics. You and Matt are good to your boys. Looked at Nathans dedication post too. were they the same age when they were dedicated? Good face timing with you tonite!
Nice work, Rosie! They were a little less than a month apart. Nathan was just over 5 1/2 months and Josh is almost 6 1/2 months now. Good seeing you too!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with us. We pray that you will soar with Jesus as you raise Joshua and Nathan. May they grow to be men of God ready to scale the utmost height for Jesus. (This is from a song "A Higher Ground".} We are so thankful for wonderful parents of our GREATS. Love to all.
I had to look at these again. I love the picture where you four are praying with Nathan standing close to matt and Matt has his right hand on his head. Such a precious sight for a Grandma. So proud of you Matt as the head of your family.
