Happy 4th!

My beautiful babies on the 4th of July!

I went in to tuck Micah in before I went to bed the other night and this is what I found!  Notice all of her animals behind her headboard and then the one bunny laying down above her head all covered up! This girl loves her animals...she knows if one is missing too...I love that about her!

This cute, little chunk took his first big boy bath in the laundry room sink the other day!  Disregard the paint stains on the sink...I wash paint brushes in that sink as well, and now I can't get the paint off the sink..oh well, it's just the laundry room......by the way, he loves his new bath. I have to put towels around the sink now because he splashes so much! I just love every single ounce of this little man!

7 months and the ZOO!

I can't believe my handsome, little guy was 7 months old June 23rd!  Time is flying by and I'll be planning his first birthday before I know it! ;(  He is still the sweetest baby and has such a laid back personality.  He is however, a BIG momma's boy!  Of course, I don't mind at all, except for when I'm trying to get some things done around the house and he throws a fit when I leave the room!....I don't remember Micah doing that, but I also didn't stay at home with her full time like I am now.  I'm so glad God has given me the chance to stay with my beautiful babies at home.  It has been a hard adjusting to being at home and working from the home, but the memories i'm making with my kids are worth every little sacrifice.  I never thought it would be financially possible for me to stay at home, but we serve a VERY POWERFUL AND LOVING GOD!  I am blessed.

We took the kids to the zoo after Josh got home from his 11 day mission trip to Canada! We missed him sooooooo much, but God did amazing things in Canada and it was worth those hard nights without him.

Micah was playing peek a boo with the penguins

I think she is soo pretty!

And he is just pretty cute :)

Pinnacle Mountain

We went to Pinnacle mountain this saturday and had so much fun - minus the melt down Micah had half way up the mountain.  She almost made it to the top.  Maybe next time we will try some hiking a little easier for my sweet three year old!

 Brandt LOVED the backpack....Josh, I'm not so sure?  He was who I was worried about and he never even made a sound.  He just kept looking around and smiling the whole time! Such a sweet little guy!

 My beautiful little girl! Who enjoyed the playground at pinnacle much more than the hike :)

Luckiest girl around! I had these two handsome guys hiking with me! 

Time is flying by

For my moms birthday last week, we all surprised her by showing up at church.  Even Keeli and Kyle came in and surprised her...the goal...to make her cry...mission accomplished! :) It was a good cry.  It has been years since her whole family was at church with her.  Josh was the only one who couldn't make it because he is the new youth pastor for Sharon Baptist Church and needed to be there...he just met up with as at lunch.

Wow, our family is getting big! 

We had our LAST Warford prom.  I can't believe my baby brother is a senior! He looked so handsome!

This pic is priceless! Dad giving his kids money...he jokes that all he is a human ATM!

Super hero dodgeball with our new youth group...we are so excited to be serving at Sharon and can't wait to see what God does with this group of kids!

By the way, I realized after playing dodgeball that even though I think I can play with 16 yr olds, my body is definately not 16 anymore.  I was hurting for a whole week after this game! 

Easter and 5 month pictures of Brandt

This sweet guy was 5 months old April 23rd! I can't believe how fast he is growing up.  I haven't weighed him recently, but 2 weeks ago he was 16lb and 8 oz.  He is sooo long too.  He is wearing 6 to 9 month clothes because I need them that long to snap onesies!  It cracks me up how different Brandt and Micah are.  Micah has always been my high energy kid and Brandt is sooo laid back.  He loves to just watch Micah play.  I hope and pray that they are close as they grow up together.

My sweet kiddos on Easter!

Micah's cousin, Tilly! They are both so cute!
