If you don't live for something, you're gonna die for nothing!

Okay, so strange the things that you can learn from a cabbie, but this was a song that one of ours blared after a nice romantic 10 year anniversary dinner. I have much to write about, but will just say this for now. That was one wild ride! Will journal more about this most amazing weekend with my husband...probably tomorrow night. We'll see...

Fun Day

I had such a great day with my kids! We played in giant mud puddles in the church lawn and got so wet they all came home in underware. Then it was showers and a movie with popcorn. Then they all did my hair up really pretty! After this we played with neighbor friends and then off to church for Caleb and Julia while Draden watched another movie while we had lifegroup. I'll post pictures tomorrow. But, ahhh, what a great day!
I love my family!!!!!

Daddy/Daughter date

Last night Russell got to take Julia on their first Daddy/Daughter date. With her being number three, it took a while to get to a point where he could take her. They both loved it! The first picture was from before the date. They went shopping and then out for ice cream!
This was one of the outfits that they picked out. Didn't they do a great job! Oh how I love them!

living arrangements

A couple of days ago I was driving with my kids to the chiropractor when the following conversation happened.
Draden: Hey mom
me: yes Draden
Draden: When I grow up I want to live right by Caleb so I can see him whenever I want to.

It blew my mind! Now, how do I foster that so it stays that way?

YEA!!!!!!

BRYAN AND MINDI ARE ENGAGED!!!!!!!!

I was so excited that Bryan chose to let our life group be a part of this with them. I love my life groupies!

Tribute to Goodnight Moon

And there were three little bears sitting on chairs...

This is Goodnight Moon come to life in our house.

















I love these boys! I don't think we have gotten out of our pj's all week! I guess the chicken pocks make it unnecessary to get dressed!

Chicken pocks

They are kind of hard to see, but this is what we have. I thought, as a good mom, I should document our fun with chicken pocks. Caleb calls them his spots. I think he has somewhere between 10 and 20. I am hoping that is all there is to this.
He has a cute belly button! :)
