Jimmy the stinker boy!

Jimmy has recently been taking on the habit's of his older brothers. We just moved him into a big boy bed and I have been finding him climbing the ladder to see his brothers when he should be sleeping!! Also, he loves to go into my bathroom and dump out all of the soap and have a bubble bath!! WHAT A STINKER!!

spring is here!!

Sissy came over the other day to let the kids play for a little while. They were supposed to be digging for worms in the back yard...this is what they were REALLY up to!!

We miss you LORI!!

One of my best friends from high school came to visit me this past week. Lori is a sweet girl who by the grace of God is striving daily to fight the good fight. Lori is a single mom. I learned this past week how hard it is to raise a son on your own and to work three jobs to provide for her family. Thank you Lori for your example of Joy when I know the temptation could be to lose hope. Thank you for your example of trust in God to provide for ALL your needs and for Ayden's. You were a blessing to us and we miss you very much. We hope you come again soon. We miss your Lisa moments too!!

Beach day with Cousins...

The kids had a blast at the beach. They all got soaked. WE MISS OUR COUSINS!!

The boys we thrilled that the reception was a dessert reception. They loved the cake and had several pieces each!!

The kids had so much fun dancing with their cousins
