Play Date and Family Night

Image
The other day my new friend Kari came over with her two totally adorable little ones. Pax took off straight up the stairs to find the Buzz and Spider Man dolls..lol..           Kari and I ran out front for a few minutes so she could meet our new neighbor, Holly, and see some of the adorable custom baby clothes she makes. Lilly followed and kept picking flowers for them.  It was so funny, Lils was totally attached to Kari all morning. Both her and Colt would not stay off this poor woman. Then the kept telling her the love her..lol..Kari probably thinks they are crazy. When they left Lilly stood at the door and cried for a few minutes. I finaly just gave her my phone, then she was happy again:) (she had a wardrobe change thanks to getting her lunch all over her)     Jeff took us out to dinner later that night. The kids were totally nuts. Drinks were spilled. There were countless number...

My Daughter

Her smiles giggles and slobbery kisses.. I live for every day with her.        Her love for life is so contagious. Seeing the world through her eyes is the most amazing experience.         She is my shadow. Every where I go.. she is right there .   Everyday with Lilly is a adventure. She has made me slow down and really soak in all God's wonders around me.  Her laughter truly is the most beautiful sound in the world.  Her smile is a sight to behold. I swear when you look into this face you are catching a glimpse of heaven.  This little girl is all personality and a total bundle of energy.    I can already see that God has big plans for this little girl.   Being Lilly's mother is such a gift This little girl truly is our ray of sunshine. 

Colties Flip Flops

One of the things I love most about being a mom is seeing the world through my children's eyes. I love how excited they get over the simplest things. The other day I got Coltie a pair of flip flops from Target. I really did not think he would wear them. He can be weird about certain thinks. But the night before these pictures were taken I gave them to him he was so excited that he slept with them. The next morning when I got I got him out of bed he had them set side by side right next to him. The first thing he wanted to do was put them on. Every where we went he had to tell any one and every one about his new shoes. I actually went back and bought him a extra pair (.. just in case:)     (Please ignore the pink nail polish..lol)  Such a silly boy:)   These three make my heart sing!! 

VBS

  This was Oliver's 3rd year at First Baptist Vacation Bible School. I love how excited he was every morning to go learn about Jesus. He was very serious about learning his Bible verse.           Some of the things he made. He also made a pen that he gave his Daddy for Father's Day.                 Oliver won the gift basket. They had one boy winner and one girl winner. He was super excited. He worked so hard to win tickets for the drawing. He helped clean up and remembered all his memory verses. The teachers said he was one of the sweetest, most polite little boys they have seen.. Just what a mommy wants to hear. I am so proud of my boy!!     In his basket was a Baskin Robbins gift certificate. So of course we just had to go for ice cream:)    I am so thankful for all the volunteers that made VBS a success. They do such a amazing job. I lov...
