Happy father's Day

Father's day was very fun this year. The kids and I made Danny a video montage set to music. It was fun to make and great to watch. The kids love their daddy and I think he is a wonderful father. I make Danny a shirt every year with the kids hands or footprints on it. This year we did footprints and he had a little space for Colton that said "coming soon". It was a good day!
If you would like to view the video that we made Danny, it is posted on you tube. The site is

VBS

We just finished VBS this year. The kids had a blast. The theme was Boomerang Express. They had alot of fun and came home talking about Jesus everyday. I have always helped during VBS and I have enjoyed every year I have been able to serve. This year I had to scale back a little since I am big and pregnant so I just helped with snacks. I had fun though and it was always a joy to see my kiddos come through the snack line.

sibling class

The kids attended their sibling class on June 8. It was fun to see them working with the babies and listening to the nurse talk about the baby. The got a tour of the hospital and got to see a newbaby only a few hours old. It was fun. The nurse had mentioned how the baby is in a bag of water so now my children are very confused. Caleb keeps asking if the doctor is going to take the bag out of my belly too and what color it will be. I can't emphasize enough to him that we are gaining a baby not a bag.

Little Gym

Addy had her performance from the Little Gym. It was her last day at the gym until next year. She has really enjoyed it and it has been fun watching her grow and get more courageous doing her gymnastics.

Caleb's graduation

Caleb graduated from preschool. It was a fun night and he is so pumped to start kindergarten. He has come such a long way and has learned so much. I love the way the Lord made him, so nurturing and such a big heart. He has turned out to be so very helpful to me and such a wonderful big brother to Addyson. The have a sweet relationship and I hope it never changes. I thank the Lord for him and how he is made. I pray that his sweet qualities don't change as he ventures off into kindergarten.

Mother's day

It was a great Mother's Day this year. We went to church in the morning and it was a great service about.....mothering. I walked out feeling a little guilty but encouraged. Being a mom is sometimes very hard but it sure is so easy to love my kids. And this mothers day was especially special because I am pregnant with a precious little boy that I am so excited to meet. The kids painted my belly with face paint for mothers day and they had a blast (although, I think it was more fun for me). Danny did a great job pampering me and taking food and bath responsibility which was WONDERUL. I love this stage of life. My children are precious to me and I thank God for them everyday. It is sometimes so easy to get caught up in the busy times and the disciplining do's and don'ts but lately I have been trying to focus on how God made created these lives and gave me the responsibilty to raise them. He picked their lives for my life and He makes everything perfect.

Danny lost his first tooth!!

Danny lost his first tooth this Wednesday morning eating waffles at the breakfast table. Thank goodness I did not have to pull it. He was thrilled beyond belief. I fully anticipated a fainting episode since their was blood but we stayed up right!! : ) He did get a little woozy and did not want to look at his tooth after it fell out though. It was an exciting day. I had ordered a tooth fairy pillow and a special tooth fairy book for the special occasion and we have been waiting to read the book until his tooth came out. The tooth fairy brough some money and it was a great time. Now he is wiggling all his teeth trying to lose more.
