Morning Cuties

Image
Yesterday I actually woke up early and had some time before we rushed off to CDO. As usual my two littlest looked so adorable I wanted to eat them up. So I thought with the extra time I would just maybe be able to get a few goo pictures of them. Ha! Yah .. Right!! You would think that with having five kids I would know better. But at least we had a lot of fun trying.     This face. I mean really.. It just is so darn cute! Just about when I was going to give up these two sweeties decided to love on one another. Nothing makes my heart happier then when the are to sweet and loving to one another. Notice Colts hand??.. He is patting Lilly telling her how much he loves her.    Baby kisses:) But encourage each other daily, while it is called today... Hebrews 3:13

Happy Heart Day!! {School Parties}

The littles CDO had Pastries for Parents Valentine Day morning. I woke up late, Colt was in the worst mood ever. We barley got there on time and even though I tried I did not get good pictures of Lilly and Colt. But because I want to remember everything about every special even of their lives , here is what I got....      I absolutely love any art work with the littles hands of pictures. I know I will treasure these forever.   After we picked up the babies we were off to Oliver and Brenna's school Love sweet kisses from my baby girl.   Poor Brenna, she was not as excited to see us as Oliver was. It seems that sixth graders are just way to cool to have their parents show up and take pictures. But this being her last year in elementary we would not of missed it for any thing. I am so thankful to be married to such a good father. Jeff  does whatever it takes to make it to all the littl...

Colt's Baby Room

Image
Next month Colt will be 4.  I can not believe that my miracle is already almost 4 years old. The 17 years I spent praying for him felt more like a hundred and the last four years feels more like 15 minutes.   I am almost embarrassed to admit that he is still sleeping in his crib. He LOVES his baby bed. When Lilly was climbing out of hers he was climbing into his. But it is time {ok.. Past time} for him to be in a big boy bed. I realized that I have never taken pictures of his nursery so I thought if I was going to do it I better get on it. I love his nursery. It makes me smile and I am going to miss it!!     This is the view as you walk into his room.   I adore this armoire. It is the reason why I decided to go with the Cowboy theme. I plan on keeping it for the new room. I will just swap out the cow print for something else.   Just look at that sweet baby in that picture:)   Colt's beloved baby bed This...

You and Me

Dear Lilly, Me and You. We’re BFF. We have a rhythm.  A beat we follow throughout the moments that fill our days. I know what you want before you have the chance to  second point. And you know, just from the look in my eyes, when I’m about to make everything all better. I give you comfort, and you bring me peace. Peace in motherhood. Peace that I’m not actually half bad at this whole mom thing.  In fact, your beaming dimple remind me that I’m pretty darn good at it. Because imperfections make for a better parent. I’ve learned that over the last 21 years. It’s probably the greatest gift I can give you–my imperfections…acknowledged. As lessons to learn. As an example of a life lived honestly. Because I have no intentions of tricking you into believing I’m perfect.  My love for you is perfect. But I am not. I am, however, more confident this go around. And I can see that you recognize my confidence. You respond to it–are put to ease by...

Boy {oh boy}

Colt is all boy. Trucks, Transformers  and Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtle take center stage at our house. So when he runs through the house in his sisters sunglasses, carrying a purse while pushing a dolly stroller I just had to grab my camera and capture this crazy boy in all his silly cuteness {can you say future blackmail}     What I love most about this is the sweet innocence of this age. In a few years he will not be caught dead carrying a baby doll and pink sun glasses {at least we hope..ha}
