The Party & Other

Finally here are some pics from Mo's B-day party. He was pretty serious the day of the party because of Mr. Molar coming in, but he had the most fun when he was outside on his new swingset from his Grandparents! He will really love the sandbox his Grandpa Mike made too once we get some sand in it. We have a regular old playland in the backyard now.

He wasn't too happy in this pic because all he wanted was the train off the cake, and I wanted a picture... :)







These are from the night we put the swingset together. EJ asked me to put her up there and I said Hang on while I get a pic, and she couldn't wait for me to get her back down...I love the hat on Mo; it's Kent's and it was so huge on him...it was cute. They both really are so adorable, eh? I am biast and proud!

14 Years!

May is a crazy busy month for my family every year. Mr. Mo turned 2 on the fourth, myself 34 on the 7th, Mother's Day on the 8th, and today is the hubby and I's 14th Wedding Anniversary. Then from the 12th to the 18th 5 more birthday's in my family. Parties galore.

So back to the whole anniversary. This morning when I remembered and won the game the hubby and I play, by saying Happy Anniversary first...as my husband was thinking to how long it has been he said to me "What have we done in 14 years?" We had a lot of joking after this question, but as I have thought about it more today I am asking it more seriously.

WHAT HAVE WE DONE?

Sure we have stepped out in faith and adopted and trusted the Lord in those, and our current one, but we really haven't done enough for the least of these.

My Family, and most of America, PLAY IT SAFE. We stay in our safe little worlds, do our church thing, do our giving thing, love on those around us most of the time, but have we really sacrificed for our Lord? Have we really stepped out of our comfort zone and LOVED the least of these, the widow, the stranger, the orphan. Have we let the suffering really seep into our hearts enough to do something about it? Have we really given until it hurts, or do we take care of ourselves first? Put back for our "future", make sure we have what we think we need first, and then give what's left, or not at all.

I admit, My family has made mistakes, and still are. We indulge, buy unnecessary things, and are comfortable and rich far more than most of the world....

I am not sure what all God has planned, but I am seeking it, and I hope that when the hubby and I are celebrating another wedding anniversary we do not look anything like we do now.

(And those waiting for the cute pics of my adorable babes..they are coming. We celebrated Mo's second year of life with family on Sunday and I hope to download the pics soon.)

He's 2!!!

My baby is 2; really can't believe it! Our tradition is for the kids to open gifts first thing when they wake up. Mighty Mo LOVES trains. So Thomas is the theme this year. He seriously loves his trains. Every time he hears a train go through town he gets so excited and squeels Thomas.

Mo we love you so much. You have brought us so much joy and laughter. May you grow into the great man of God you are to be.

How Great Thou Art

All I have to say about this is, Amen Carrie Underwood, Amen!

Easter

I know I am a little late, but I couldn't find my camera cord... :)

Easter is just a special time of remembering the suffering our Christ endured for us. I found myself having a hard time not just full out balling in church this year. I just want to remember this feeling every day, not just in Easter season; don't you?

So, seriously does this picture not melt your heart? My two little blessings on Easter morning. Mo is so cute when he hugs too because he has to find a spot to rest his head and really just dives into the hug, and his sister loves it. Too Too Sweet.



Family Pic...my sister actually has a better one where EJ's hands aren't in her mouth, but she hasn't sent it to me yet (Ahem). :)

My Mommy and Sissy...That's right I like to say Mommy still :)



Cutest Smile and Grin Ever!




I pray your Easter was blessed.

Hear this when you Read it......

I posted this link quite awhile ago, and I want to re-post it. Sometimes the things screaming in my heart are penned out much better by others than myself. No one can do it quite like Linny.

So when you read this, and I beg you to read it, please not only listen to yourself read it and be touched for the minute, but HEAR it and let it change your now and forever. Lord knows I am trying and I need to try HARDER!

More Beautiful and OOPS!

Our sweetheart EJ started wearing glasses this weekend...She has to wear them all the time, but all in all she is really doing well with it. Any tips on how we can keep them from sliding off her face; that would be great! She looks older now, which I don't like, but as beautiful as ever!



And on Saturday Mommy made a huge mistake! I totally grabbed the wrong size clipper attachment and for some silly reason started on top and totally cut my boys curls completely off! I was so upset...I just hope they grow back fast! Like real fast...this isn't the greatest picture, but they is hardly any there now... :( Of course he is still adorable!
