Today I am married to an amazing man for ten years! I love you and love every minute that we spend together! I can't believe it has been 10 years and three kids later!:)

Family Vacation 2012

Instead of the beach this year we traveled to Williamsburg, VA. We stayed at a resort, went to Busche Gardens and Water Country, did some shopping, and a little relaxing. We had a blast and were shocked at how well the four kids under five years old did in the parks. They were pros. We can't wait until next year when we can do it again! By the way, these parks have tons of stuff for kids to do! Highly recommend! And Dakota got to meet Ernie, who is his life hero!:)

More May fun and Memorial Day

We spent memorial day with some of our friends from college. It was so nice and refreshing to see all of these sweet faces again. Thank you Lord for these encouraging little reunions!

Sadie's Graduation

Well it's here! Sadie has graduated pre-school. I actually held up really well but then when I made this video and watched it, tears came to my eyes. She is growing up oh so fast. I love her and her sweet care and compassion for other kids. I continue to pray that she will trust in the Lord one day and follow him! The graduation was beautiful and we were very proud of her and Dakota!:)

Encouragement for Mother's!

My sweet friend Sarah asked me to a tea party that she was hosting in honor of Mother's Day. I was very encouraged and loved being around some of my special friends. I was reminded of how we are called to be mother's of love, compassion, and sacrifice. Thanks Sarah for a five star party!:)

Sadie's 5th Birthday!

We honestly cannot believe that Sadie is five years old. She had a wonderful party at the park and all her friends were able to attend. I can't believe that she starts school next year. We are so proud of her and all that she has accomplished so far. She is a very spunky, caring, loving little girl! Reminds me a lot of myself, but the spunkiness definitely reminds me of my sister! Let's see what the next year has in store!:)

April Showers Bring May Flowers!

It's been such a long time and the kids are doing wonderful. I am going to catch you up a bit from what's been going on in the past few months. In May Sadie and Dakota were very excited about the nice weather we were getting. They loved playing outside and especially in our plastic pool in the backyard. Chloe seemed to enjoy it also, but she was much more focused on learning to crawl and babble more. She has become and pro at eating and will basically eat anything that you give her. We were also thinking about starting potty training this month, but that is for a later post! Here are a few pictures!
