Just wanted to wish the best Husband in the world, a Happy Birthday! The boys and I couldn't ask for a better husband or daddy! Ryan is always making sure that we are taken care of. He is so selfless! He is always willing to work an extra shift if that is what needs to be done. He is always willing to clean the house, do the dishes, do the laundry, take care of the yard, whatever it is that needs to be taken care of! He never complains and always does it with a heart full of love!
I thank God everyday, for placing such a loving, caring, compassionate, hard-working, great daddy, great husband, great christian man in my life!!
Ryan I can never say thank you enough for all that you do for the the boys and I! We love you from the bottom of our heart!!! "To the Moon and Back"
Hope that you have the BEST birthday ever!!!

Belated Cinco De Mayo
Colton's artwork the week before Cinco De Mayo
I meant to share for the actual day but that didn't happen!
Better late than never!
Moments of A Melting Heart!
I strive everyday to raise my boys in the way that God would have me to! I take them to church, pray with them, pray for them, discipline them, nurture them, love on them, doctor bo-bos. I do all the stuff that any mother/parent would do! I thank God everyday for loaning me 2 precious boys to fill my life with happiness, excitement, encouragement, laughter and many more things. To say that I fulfill God's plan of raising my kids the way that he intends for me to do on a daily bases would be a lie! I struggle, get mad, cry, show my frustration (even though I know that is the wrong thing to do), get overwhelmed, etc.
But the truth of the matter is, when you hear your kids say things like:
"I Love You"
"Jesus doesn't like for us to use that word"
"Jesus doesn't like when we do this"
"Momma, Jesus is always with me, even though I can't see him, I just know that he is there"
"Momma, I am going to ask Jesus to sit beside me all day today"
"Momma, I am trying to be nice and share"
"Momma, we need to pray for ____ tonight when we say our prayers"
It truly reminds me of the job that God has given me as a Mother! Man what big shoes to try and fill! But I don't need to completely fill them, because I have God walking with me in those shoes every single day! What more could I ask for? Hearing those sayings come out of my boys mouths truly makes my heart melt and reminds me of the big picture! It reminds me that even though I struggle, God is always there to help me stay on track to raise Great, God-loving men of God!!!
PRAISE GOD FOR THAT!!!
Thank you for my many blessings!

Graduation and Love
Pierce at his K4 Graduation this morning
don't worry more pictures to come
Pierce and Grandma after graduation!
She LOVES all her babies!
Grandma has been such an inspiration to me and to all of the grandchildren.
I melts my heart to see her with my boys! She has raised 3 of her
own children, helped raise 7 grandchildren and is now helping raise the
great-grandchildren! Can't get any better than that!
She is the BEST there is!
Grandma, Ryan, the boys and I love you more than you'll ever know,
and can NEVER thank you enough for everything that you have done, do
and always do for us! You are such a selfless woman, that is
always making sure that everyone else is taken care of!
LOVE YOU!

Never Forgets Anything!
I ventured to the doctor's office yesterday with the boys for check ups! I had told the boys that morning that I would be picking them up early to go to the doctor's office, and of course the first words out of Colton's mouth was "Are we getting shots?" Being the sweet momma that I am, I didn't want to completely freak the boys out so I said I wasn't sure, but if so we would get through them like big strong tough boys! (Colton was just going for an ADHD check up and Pierce his 5 yr old check up topped off with 3 shots) I didn't want to lie to them but didn't want a melt down before we ever left the house yesterday morning. So after I picked the boys up, Pierce and I were talking about the hearing test that they would be doing at the dr.'s office. In the meantime, Colton (who has a memory like an elephant --- NEVER FORGETS) blurts out "Momma I have only had a hearing test when I got my 5 yr old SHOTS! Thanks Colton! Yes, Pierce is getting shots but he is a tough boy that will do great. Pierce never said anything but got quiet and clingy! Can't say that I really blame him, I'm grown and I still don't like shots, who does?
We had a great appointment! Pierce is doing great, he is 40 lbs (50 percentile) and 45 inches tall (75 percentile). Colton has grown almost another full inch in 4 months. We were there in Jan for a check up on Colton's medicine and had grown 3 1/2 inches in 10 months! OMG, slow down please!!!!
In the process of Pierce being checked out by our wonderful Dr. V, she asked how Daddy was doing. Pierce said he was bad! "He's bad?" asked Dr. V. Yes ma'am he's bad cause he doesn't mind momma.. ha ha!! We got a good laugh out of that!
I don't have babies anymore! Where is time going?? Seriously, it needs to slow down please! Pierce is all set to go to "BIG" school in August! And Colton will be going to 2nd grade!

God Is Working On Me
Friday night, Rob Biagi visited our church for a fun night of worship as a family! It was awesome! The kids really liked it! Of course my two weren't all about getting up and going to dance down front, but they are always like that :) but that is ok, they are their own person! But before it was all said and done Pierce was out in the isle dancing and then going down front dancing with Aaron and Jana (some friends of ours kids). Colton eventually joined them along with Aaron's brothers (They are triplets and are so much fun!)
So anyway, I bought one of the cd's because I knew that the boys would love to listen to it, they LOVE music! We are always jamming to K-Love in the car.
Here is the song by Rob Biagi, "God is Working on Me"
This song, made for kids, really hit home with me. We are to have child like spirits and to have faith of children, so what better way to minister to me, than through a childrens worship song! God is truly working on me! He is revealing to me that if I will put my selfish ways down and follow him wholeheartedly than I can truly receive his many blessings that he has in store for me. As the song says, when I decide to let God have his way and not interfere than the best of me will shine through, and that is what I long for!
Lord, please continue to work on me! Show me your way! Lord, make me desperate for you! Lord, have your way in my life and everything that I do!
In Jesus Name
