Engagement Pictures


Here are just a couple of the engagement pictures that were taken.

Early Valentine's Day Present


I am the most spoiled man in the world. Lydia decided it was alright for us to buy some new things. Originally a new tv was supposed to be next year's valentine's day gift. We went looking and found everything for cheap. When I get back in November she said she was going to buy me a gps system as an engagement/i'm so excited you're here present. The one we decided on was actually on sale. Bought that today. The gps is pretty awesome. It's something I definitely needed because I don't know where anything is.

Horseback Riding


Lydia and I had a wonderful time riding. Her new thing is riding bareback because its a challenge for her. She taught me how to gallop on a horse. It was awesome to feel how powerful horses are.

Busy Weekend




The first weekend we were SO BUSY! We saw family, went dancing, shot at targets, went fishing, took engagement pictures, played badminton, and Jeremiah had a water fight with my mother... tons of fun.

Jeremiah meets the Boys



Here are some pics from Jeremiah's first encounters with Tristen and Titus. He did so well and even changed a diaper on his own.... Titus didn't even pee on him! We also got to take Arsalie swimming at the hotel pool. She did so good and had a great time playing in the water with Jeremiah. She was so excited to see him and talked about him all day till he got there! We had such a great time hanging out with the little guys.

More Fun










These are other fun pictures I have taken over the last few weeks that you might enjoy...

Mothers' Day






  • I spent the weekend with my family in Indiana. I got to see my grandparents and spend some time with my sister's family. I even had time to work on some wedding plans. It is that time to start lining up caterers, DJ's, photographers, and things like that. I have a day of appointments scheduled for Jeremiah and I when he visits in a week and a half.... it will be fun to finally be making real plans! This is a picture of my whole family (except for my very favorite...) My parents, Greg & Louise, my brother and his girlfriend are sitting on the floor, Jordan & Corrine, my sister and her husband and their kids, Gabe & Danielle with Arsalie, Tristen, & Titus. Whew... Then there is me and just enough room for one more.... it will be so nice to finally have Jeremiah there to spend time with us when we are together as a family. I am sure the Rodriguez side feels the same. We miss you all. Plans are already in the works to visit CA in August and I am already getting excited about that. Much love...
