Easter 2013

What a beautiful Easter day!!!  It was the most gorgeous, sunny day this year that we got to celebrate one of the most important days ever!  The day Jesus defeated death and rose from the grave to give us eternal life and erase our sins.  I'm overwhelmed by the depth of God's love for me when I think about what Jesus did for us.  Maybe now that I have my own children, I can understand a tiny portion of what God felt in letting His son die on the cross.  It is amazing to think that even if it were just me, one small, insignificant person, here on earth, that He still would have made that sacrifice!  Thank you Lord!  It is so awesome to watch as my kids get old enough to recognize that too and know how much they are loved by our Savior!
We had a great Easter.  We celebrated at our church's Eggstravaganza on Saturday and then went to church for a great Easter service on Sunday morning.  We had both our families over to our house Sunday evening for a big ham dinner and Easter festivities!  It was lots of fun and the warm sun made it even better!

Happy #33

A little shout out to my hubby on his 33rd birthday!  The kids get a big fat post for their days, so I figure I can give some love to Adam too! 
We did a combined Easter/Birthday celebration.  It was fitting because Gage had called him "Uncle Jesus" one time! 
I'm so blessed to have Adam as my husband!  He is seriously the greatest!!!  I've been so proud of him, he just continues to grow into this amazing man and our kids get the chance to see what a loving dad, great husband, and awesome man of God looks like!  And, at 33 he is even more handsome than when I met him at 16!  Looks like I have a good road ahead of me for the next 33 years!!!
Happy Birthday, Honey!!!

Kade turns 2

I can't believe my baby is officially a two year old!  I feel like I turned around and went from having a little baby to having a walking (running), talking (yelling) little boy!  It's bittersweet to have him grow up.  Being the last baby we plan to have, I wanted it to last just a while longer.  On the other side, he is such a lug that I'm glad he'd prefer to walk than me have to carry him!  He still lets me rock him after naps but then he hears his big brothers and wants to hop down and go join in the fun.  I lay him down for bed in his crib, and think, it's not long before I'll be trying to keep him in a big boy bed at night.  I won't miss the diapers, but we have a little while yet till we're there:-) 
Kade keeps us on our toes for sure.  I call him sweet and sour because he goes from this sweet little cuddle bug straight into the "terrible two's" within a matter of seconds.  He has a good sized temper and is very strong willed but then gives you the cutest smile and melts your heart.  He is talking up a storm these days and we can understand him most of the time!  He loves animals and would love to just crawl into the corral with my dad's mules.  He is rough and tough and can handle wrestling almost better than his older brothers!  He is definitely our biggest as far as weight goes!  At his 2 year wellness check, he tipped the scales at 36 lbs and was 3 feet tall!  Let's just say, I'm glad he can walk!
I love this beautiful little blonde boy that joined our family 2 years ago so much!  He makes me smile when I look at him.  I laugh as I watch him run across the grass, pumping his arms and swinging from side to side to get some momentum going!  He gives me snuggles and kisses if I'm sad and brings a joy to our home!
Kade, I pray that you will grow into a courageous, strong boy!  I pray that you will lead people to the Lord by your actions and your love for them.  I ask for protection for you as you go head on into life!  I pray that you will always stay close to Jesus and walk with Him your whole life.  He has such amazing plans for you and I'm so blessed to get to be your mama and watch Him lead you!
Happy Birthday Toodles!!!

Happy 4th Birthday to my Mason Boy!

As I'm finally getting my blog back up to date, I figured I'd better start with the most important events... my kiddo's birthday!
Mason turned four years old on December 14th.  We did POJO's for his birthday party and had lot of crazy fun! We celebrated with family and our friends the Huszars.



I feel like he is growing before my eyes.  He is losing his baby fat and thinning out, which makes him look so much older.  He has a sweet splatter of light freckles acrossed his nose and cheeks that I absolutely love.  He laughs easily and it doesn't take much to get him to break into his contagious smile.  As of his 4 year old wellness check up, his stats are as follows:  40.4 lbs and 43 inches tall!  He is my wild boy and is fearless.  He went ziplining with me at my cousin Tad's wedding this summer and loved it!  He challenges me and teaches me to have patience and be slow to anger.  He likes to snuggle but is on the move most of the time playing basketball, football, soccer, sword fighting, karate, and riding his scooter.  He loves to have playdates and most of all, love his cousins Troy and Gage!  He loves to play with his brothers and I don't think he'd survive if he had to be alone all day with just his mom!  I love him like crazy, he is like me in a lot of ways!  Happy Birthday to my second baby, my Mason Boy!!!
Mason, I pray that you will always know how loved you are.  That you will use your passion to show others love, fight for what is right, and lead the life that God has for you!  He has such an amazing plan for you life and I can't wait for you to become all that He has in store for you.  I ask God to help you live a life as a boy and man filled with integrity and faith!  You're going to do AMAZING things!!!

Y-Ball... our superstar!




 This fall we started the first of what will be years and years of sporting events x3.  Cole started YMCA basketball.  It brought back such memories because both Adam and I played Y-ball as kids.  He practiced one day a week and had games on Saturdays.  His coach, Coach Jeff, was really great and he got lots of playing time since there were only 7 kids on his team.  He consistently scored points every game, one game racking up a total of 10 points!!!  We were very proud of him and had lots of fun watching his games.  Can't wait for next year!!!

Halloween 2013

My post labels are getting more and more boring... I'm out of creative juices! 

We had lot of Halloween fun with a costume party at our house with family, trick-or-treating around the neighborhood, and handing out lots of candy!  Fun times!!!

Picture Scramble

I have a ton of pictures that are just random, cute pictures.  Not enough for single posts but too cute to miss putting on the blog.  I thought I'd just stick them in all together so they aren't missed.

 Can't argue that Krispy Kreme is GOOD!

 I think Mason drew the short straw
 I like his new do! 

 
 
 Caught him sneaking old popcorn from a Christmas tin!
They thought it looked good too and joined in
 
 Bedtime stories... nice face, Cole.

If they didn't do this, I'd think there was something wrong with them!
