4-9

Four years ago today I married my best friend. I can not believe how fast the 4 years went by. Four years, 2 kids later and we are still very much in love. Our marriage is a testament to how great marriage can be when a couple allows God to be the center of everything. The past 4 years has not been perfect by any stretch of the imagination. We have had our trials and struggles just like everybody else, but we have learned to look past the imperfect parts and noticed the great parts, at the same time working on our imperfections. Here's to many more wonderful years together.

Pray for my sister

Please pray for my sister. She went to the doctor a couple of months ago and had some test run which came back abnormal. She is having surgery next tuesday 31st. Please keep her in your prayers. She is really scared. I know that God will take care of her. I will try and keep everyone updated on how her surgery goes.

Rylan is 8 months

You heard me right my sweet boy is 8 months old today. I know it is hard to believe. These are some pictures of him from last Saturday at Laynee's birthday.

Cupcakes and A-girl

I had the day off Friday for Natalie's birthday so I decided to surprise her and take cupcakes to school to share with her friends. It was so much fun. When I first got to her school Ms. Sky was reading the kids a books so I watched from the door with out her knowing I was there. Natalie was very interested in the book....asking lots of questions and answering them very quickly when the teacher would ask them. It was so funny to hear her answers to the questions the teacher would ask. After they finished with the book I went in the classroom. She was so excited to see me there. She kept telling all of her friends that I was her mommy and that I had brought them cupcakes to eat after lunch. I helped Ms. Sky get out all of the kids to the table and ready to eat their lunches(which was so sweet to see all the little ones sitting at the table together) and then Ms. Sky asked them to bow their heads and say the blessing. Of course Natalie was a little shy at first with me being there but that didn't last long she was singing very loudly before the song was over. It was so cute hearing them all sing this song before they ate.

God Our Father

God Our Father,

Once again

Once again,

We thank you for our lunch

We thank you for our lunch
Amen, Amen.

At then end of the song were you are supposed to say Amen, Amen Natalie decided to say A-Girl, A-Girl. It was to funny! Ms. Sky said that Natalie has never liked saying Amen she is always telling everyone that it was not amen or a-boy that is was supposed to be a-girl. She is very funny like this at home too. Pink is for girls and blue is for boys and she will not play with boy toys and doesn't like for Rylan to play with hers. I love my little girly, girl! I will post some pictures from her birthday party at school soon.

Pink Party

We had Natalie's birthday party on Saturday and everything turned out wonderful. The weather was nice so the kids were able to play outside which was great because we had a lot to show up. Natalie had the best time. She loved playing with all of her friends. She got a lot of cool gifts....play doh, lots of summer clothes, sunglasses, chap stick, a TV, movies, shoes, and much more. Click on the picture below to see all the fun we had at her party. Thanks to all those who came and to my mom who helped with everything.

Time flies

I can't believe that my little princess turns 3 on Friday. Every time I look at how much she has grown it just breaks my heart. I can still remember the day she was born. I wanted to hold her in my arms all the time. After reading Ashley's post with the lyrics from this song I just cried my eyes out. The song is called It Won't Be Like This For Long by Darius Rucker. If you have children I know you can relate. They grow up to fast. I know that there are a lot of wonderful things I still have to look forward to it is just so hard to think about my little girl growing up. I don't know what I will do when she starts kindergarten if I am having a break down like this and she is only turning 3. Thanks, Ashley for posting the lyrics to the song. I had never heard it before.
