New Bed!

Well, if you remember a while back I posted pictures of Sophie's new 'castle bed.' That little bed lasted for a bit. Then she decided she wanted a big girl bed like her brothers. Luckily I had saved an old daybed that Madison used when she was little. So we got it out of the garage, cleaned it up a little and now we have one happy little girl!

Styling on the Tricycle!

Little Miss Hollywood

Winterfest

Dean and I had the privilege to go with the teens to Tennessee to Winterfest. We had the best time. It was so much fun...tiring but fun!

How cute is this?

I walked into my room and found Sophie in her dad's shirt!

Happy Birthday Mom!

We had my mom over the day before yesterday to celebrate her birthday. Did you know Braeden was actually due on her birthday, but he decided he wanted to come a week early.

Braeden's Party

Braeden had friends and family over to celebrate his birthday this weekend. He had quite a good time. I love to see my kids happy!

Special Flower

My sweet Braeden came in from outside with this daffodil. I love spring when the flowers are starting to bloom! I thought it was so sweet that he thought of me. He brought this in and then went and got one of his little bottles, put some water in it and stuck the flower in. He sat it up on my dresser. I love that little guy!

Happy Birthday Braeden!

My sweet boy turns 9! So of course cinnamon rolls for breakfast....


And opening a few presents...


Love that smile!

Going for a ride...

Psalm 139:5

"You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me."
"Beset" is the word the King James Version uses. Beset means to encircle, enclose, or besiege. God, in His infinite mercy and love, has beset me.

Happy Birthday Ma!

This is our first time not having Ma here with us as we celebrate her day. I miss her terribly. But I know she is in a better place and is having a wonderful party today!

Sophie's Party

So, Sophia wanted a 'Pink Party.' So that's what we had! She was so excited when everyone started arriving. Thanks to everyone for coming out and celebrating her special day!

Sophia's Three!

Okay, I knew today was coming. These days roll around once a year for all my littles. My baby girl is three today. Three. It's kind of that in between year. She's not a baby and she's not a big girl yet. (Well according to her she is) It seems so long ago that I held my itty bitty baby, and sniffed that newborn smell. Ahh...

Princess Sophia woke up to her favorite this morning...cinnamon rolls. She was so excited that today was her birthday. She associates her birthday with a 'party.' Well, we aren't having her party until next weekend. So we did a few little things to celebrate today.
Sophia can brighten any one's day! She is so sweet, I could eat her up! I tell her that all the time. She even tells me that now! I'm so thankful that God blessed us with her. She is a true gift. I love watching her each day as she takes in what's around her and learns something new. I know she will continue to grow, and get bigger and smarter and I will enjoy it as we go. This line from one of our favorite books sums it up...
I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living my baby you'll be







Today is also Superbowl Sunday. You know Madison was born on Superbowl Sunday. We had a tailgate party after church today. What fun! My awesome husband made some pretty cool props for the service!






Tonight we went to Lou and Dawn's for a Superbowl party. Sophie was pleasantly surprised to open another present! And when we got home she ate some of her puppy cake.
