Experiencing God's Blessings



This morning I was enjoying some cuddle time with my sweet Brennan Bear. And as he settled into his "just right" spot I started thinking about how much he has grown and with his big 3 year old birthday just over (last Wed. ) I go a little sentimental.  Breannan is the typical "baby" of the family.  He is a momma's boy, likes to be the center of attention, and can be as sweetest thing one minute and rotten to the core the next, but either way enjoys every minute of it.

This morning I told him "No More Growing, Ok?"  to which he quickly agreeed, "Ok, Mommy!".  So sweet!  But as much as I want Brennan and all my boys to stay small enough to settle into that "just right" spot, it is so fun to watch them grow and become what God has planned for them to be. I love to see the way they think and process situations.  I love to see them grow as brothers and as young men of God. And will continue to stay focused on that fact! 

Thank you Lord for blessing our lives with these sweet boys! Thank you for allowing us to experience and embrace our rolls as parents to these future warriors.  May they always follow in your ways and grow in stature and favor with you!  Amen

Happy Anniversary!!

Today, October 19th is the day I married the man of my dreams 8 years ago. It has been such a journey, one with ups and downs, with sadness and happiness, with anger and peace, with trials and successes; but one that I treasure every minute of every day! It seems so strange to think that Michael and I have only known each other for 9 years... 9 years!! My how our life has changed over the last 9 years...  What would I do without this amazing friend, leader, and mate in my life?

Fun Numbers One for each year.

1   The number of Girls that live in our house... yep, I'm outnumbered. Big Time!
2   Cars we have bought
3   Towns we have lived in
4    The boys that live in our house... 3 kids + 1 daddy
5    Homes we have lived in
6   Years that we have been parents (well, actually only 5 yrs and 10 months)
7   Most pet we have had at one time (Tadpoles,Bugs, and Dogs; they all had names so they count.)
8  Years on this amazing journey with the one I love. (I know sappy, but sincere)


 It is so fun to look back at the last 8 years and see where God has led us. I can't wait to see what He has in store for this year. I love you Michael!!  XOXO
