I doubt anybody is interested, but for my own records I am going to put some of my favorite facebook status (statuses, stati?) on my blog. I want to remember the things my kids say and life's little crazy moments...since I usually share them thru facebook I am gonna copy and paste some of my favorites.

1. Got all three kids dressed, loaded in car, drove half an hour to the mall. Got out the stroller, got out all three kids...realized Micah had a BLOW OUT that turned 80 % of his clothes a nice shade of yellow. Loaded everything back up and went home.

4. Devotions with the kids this morning. Me- "Jack do you wanna pray for Obama?" Jack- "His name is Barack Obama you know!"... Jack- "Dear Lord please help Barack Obama make the right recisions and if he doesn't let the other guy win." (I think we may still need to touch on the political process some in homeschooling! lol)

The things kids say are truly the best!

bloglicious!!!

I promise you, these are so cute! You must watch! :)

baby's first blogday cake!

Micah Jo turned 1! He approached his cake very differently from his brother and sister. Jacey and Jack both didn't want to touch the cake so they just dunked their faces right in! Micah went very slowly and deliberately. He lightly touched the cake and got used to the texture and then took small bites.
He would stop to pick up any crumb that dropped even though the whole cake was right there! :)

FOR ME??? :)

LOOOOVE THE LEGS!

PICKING UP A CRUMB :)

Happy Blogday X's 3

April B-day boys!

My wonderful second family. I truly have the best in-laws a girl could ask for. I can never contribute to my friends crazy in-law stories! I am so thankful for them! They were praying for me from the time Josh was born and I truly believe that had a lot to do with all the seeds God planted in my life that led me to Him.
Micah is Gramma Joan's twin!

I think it's interesting how my favorite family memories are not the well planned big events. I am always surprised when all of a sudden they appear out of no where. Not planned, just an amazing moment of bonding. Like laying on a blanket blowing bubbles or randomly deciding to make lunch a picnic instead of eating at the same old table.
Last night we had an impromtu family slumber party in the living room. Daddy had been working late all this week and after we put the kids to bed we kept hearing little footprints in the hallway telling us they just wanted to be close to him. So we brought out all the blankets and put on the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice hoping they would fall asleep.

I realized last night would be one of my favorite family memories while I was cuddling with my son Jack on the couch. We were staring at a moth on the ceiling and I said we should go to the "Butterfly Pavillion."
He wrapped his little arms around me and said, "I hope the butterflies are beautiful just like you mommy."

Officially one of my all time favorite moments and I expect it will be forever. I am glad I didn't just tell them to get in bed!!


(Amazingly enough, moments after I wrote this blog the kids on their own decided to play fairies outside, so I got butterfly pictures to go along with my story!
