And Now We are TWO!

Happy Birthday Sophia, Sean, Henry, and Edith. WOW! That is about all I can say... I cannot believe my kiddos are TWO years old. How did that happen??? Time has gone by so quickly. It seems like yesterday I was very sleep deprived and wondered it they would ever walk, feed themselves, and be potty trained. Well, two out of three ain't bad! lol We didn't really celebrate their Birthday on their actual Birth Day. We were just beginning to move into our new house on that day and it was a bit crazy. We did however have dinner with a few friends at our FAVORITE local Mexican place.

Edith, Henry, Daddy, Sean, and Sophia.

Ok so, ya know how I hate always being right? Well I told Chris to only light one candle at a time. He insisted he would be VERY careful and it would be okay to do both boys at once. The next thing I know Henry is screaming and his hand is blistered and black from grabbing the candle. There are not many pictures after this because Mommy had to comfort poor little Henry. Daddy...well let's just say. Aaaaarrrrggghhh!!!!

Anyway, a few days after their actual Birthday my mom flew in for a couple of days. We decided to do their presents and have another little party while she was here.

Sophia LOVES books.

Yes, my kids are WEIRD. They all love hats. What can I say. At our Mexican Restaurant they are always wearing the hats around so I bought them their very own. They still wear them all the time. Go figure?!?

Edith is stylin' in here new hat and shoes! They all have a thing for shoes too, even the boys! That makes Mommy sooooo proud!!!

Overall we had a GREAT Birthday week. I am so very blessed to have such beautiful healthy children. I do not know whay God chose me to have them, love them, and raise them, but a I thank Him EVERYDAY for the opportunity to share my life with them. They are by far the BEST gift I have EVER been given. I am truly thankful for each one of them. They are so worth everything that goes into raising them. I would not change one moment!

Happy 2nd Birthday!

Happy 2nd Birthday!!! Sophia, Sean, Henry, and Edith I LOVE YOU so much. I thank God everyday that he allowed your Dad and I to have you in our lives. You have brought more joy than you will ever know. Good-bye to my BABIES...Hello Big Kids! I hope you have an awsome Birthday but we are saving the REAL suprise for next Sunday. Grandma is coming and we are going to have a BIG Birthday Party. We CANNOT wait!!! God is SOOOOO GOOD! He is taking care of us better than I ever imagined!

Moving is almost done!

Well...I have A LOT to post but not today. We are still trying to move. We have a house and it is only 10 miles from our current home. YAY! The problem is daddy started a new GREAT job and he has been training. We are very behind in the moving process. The home that we are moving to needed A LOT of cleaning. I mean A LOT of cleaning. Carpets, all other floors, cabinets, appliances, trim, you name it and I have bleached it. We are finally ready to move in, with the exception of one bathroom.

I will do my best to update soon! The kiddos turn 2 on Sunday but that is daddy's only day off so we will probably do a quick meal with some friends and back to the grindstone. PROMISE...2 year old pictures and updates SOON!

We are moving AGAIN!

We are moving...where...not sure yet! We sold our home and we have 30 days to get packed up and moved. So...updates will be few and very far between!!

The happest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.

Fountain FUN!

It is getting WARM. I have been walking at our local Outlet Mall with the kids almost everyday. Each day we stroll by the fountain and they all wave and say, "Hi water." Well...daddy and I finally decided to let them play and they had a FANTASTIC time. I do believe this will be a favorite this summer.

Henry was a little unsure at first.

Fun in Fairhope

We drove over to Fairhope on Saturday just to walk around and play in the park. We ran into a family with triplets, WHAT ARE THE ODDS. They are 7mo. old and soooo adorable. I am kicking myself for not asking their daddy if we could take a group picture. :( Later we went down to the water to let the kids play by the fountain. They had a GREAT time.

Thank You, Jesus!

I am thankful this Easter Season that not only did Jesus die for me but he died for my children.
