My Child of God

I was kissing my girls good night tonight and as I was standing in their doorway closing the door I heard Taylor talking. I kind of figured Matt was in there but as I got closer I noticed he wasn't and then I noticed Tay had his little eyes closed and he was praying. Talk about a lump in your throat! I could've bawled right there!! There is nothing more precious than catching your little boy praying. He had no idea I was even there until he sayed "Amen" and opened his eyes. I asked him what he prayed about and he was so non-chalant..."oh....sick people that I know....and stuff like that...."

I like to picture the big smile painted on Jesus' face as He just reclines there at the God's right hand. I imagine God looking down at His Son and saying "doesn't that feel good to see your boy praying to ya?" I think God would say "ya"....maybe not....but either way I'm giving him a good chuckle as He hears me out on this.

Huntin' practice

Cute video of Tay shooting his BB gun with Daddy.

my little stinker!

I have had to put Hailee and Briella's closet back together 3 times since Thursday night. Here I caught my little monkey in action attempting to make me pick it up a forth time! What am I gonna do with her? Is there room at the ZOO?!? I love her to death....you should've seen her jump though when she saw me standing there!!

New pics of Jayce

Summer 2009

Wow! It's been awhile since I've updated this blog. Now that I'm on facebook....my blog takes a backseat! Here's some pictures of fun stuff that have happened in our lives this summer...

Briella is growing up so fast! She's already wearing thongs....as SUSPENDERS!! I laughed so hard! About as hard as my mom is laughing in the next picture!

I took Kenzie, Yoselin, Hailee, Taylor, Briella and Jayce to the beach last week. We decided to bury the little kids. Briella kept pulling her arms out so we had to keep burying them. It was such a gorgeous day although the lake was only 46 degrees....BURRRR! It didn't phase those little kiddos though!

What a fun summer we've had! Although I am ready for school to start again....

Surprise! I'm a Michael Jackson fan...

It's true! I really enjoyed Michael Jackson's music! I know he is really wierd and sort of creepy....BUT he had some really good songs! I just can't believe that he died! How crazy!! I added my 2 favorite songs of Jackson on my playlist....of course there are many more favorites!! I used to LOVE the song "Black or White". I remember Brooke and I would crank that song up and dance and sing to it back when we were in elementary school. That was back before Michael went all creepy and he was just trying to "Heal the World". So now you know....I've officially come out of the closet as a Michael Jackson fan. Whew! I feel so much better!!!

Here they all are...

Here's my favorite pictures of our kids that we took on Saturday at Rosy Mound. Who needs to spend a ton of money on a photographer when you can do it yourself!! :) We ended up taking Jayce's picture in the sandbox because he was losing his patience at the actual beach....it works though!
