Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! First of all I have to say I am so blessed to be the mom of the three most adorable kids ever! They bring so much joy to my life every day with their stories, their smiles, giggles, and laughs, their hugs and kisses and listening to their prayers! I am one lucky mom! I am also blessed and so are my kiddos with the best ever

Wonerful women of God who I look up to, have learned so much from, and am very blessed to call family! I love you all and thank God daily for you all! Thank you for being an example to me!

Jacy is 11 months!

Jacy is 11 months and on the go! She has been walking for the last couple weeks now and is only getting faster:) My parent's were out and got to witness those first steps! She has been quite the little rascal lately but so fun to watch and see her change! Her sleeping has been wonderful allowing me some good nights rest!! She was dedicated in Church on Mother's Day a very special day! We just keep on loving her more each day what a beautiful baby you are Jacy Kate!!

Spring is in the air!!!

Spring has come and the weather has been pretty nice!! We went to the lake and played and have been spending a lot of time outside. Jake had his school spring program and sang about Kansas' 150th birthday and even did a little dance:) He was pretty good!! We went with our mom's group to the House of bounce and Abby and Jacy loved that!! I love spring!

Jacy is 10 Months!

Well a lot of time has seemed to slip by. I've been having trouble with our blog and have not taken the time to try to fix it so we'll see how it goes today!
Jacy is already 10 months where has the time gone. She is starting to walk, taking steps like a big girl. She learned to drink from a straw, and has learned how to really get our attention! She finally cut her top teeth all four but is struggling with her next two on the bottom(let's just say it's been quite a process) She is a precious little girl who destroys everything in her path:) She loves to get into the cupboards and take everything out, she likes to dump out all the toy bins one after the other. She loves to try and put her clothes, socks whatever over her head like she's dressing herself. She loves to grab a stuffed animal or doll and sit and talk to them(I think she watches her older sister) She is growing up and we're loving every minute of it!!! Her favorite thing to say is "dada" she did say "ma da" one day but i think her daddy has it won for now!!! Jacy Kate we love you so much you have a laugh that is so contagious and we love to listen to you!!!
Jake is getting down to his last days of kindergarten. He loves school and loves his friends. He has some really good buddies that he talks about all the time. He will start baseball soon. He can hardly wait for tryouts today to see if he makes machine pitch!! Sports is something he just loves. Any sport at any time he wants to play, play, play.
Abby is still my number one helper/babysitter. She will help with the kids I watch and loves playing the "mom" role. sometimes I have to remind her she is only 4!! But a very mature 4 at that:) She has a personality that is still trying to blossom in the public setting. We see it at home all the time but she is so shy around everyone else:) Abby is really starting to want to learn her letters and write them all the time. She loves to do little projects painting or coloring or whatever, she loves to play outside and play with her friends too!! It seems like we are always so busy and sometimes its just good to sit back and think about your kids and watch them grow before they are grown up and you're saying where did that time go!! I love every minute I spend with these 3 gifts from God! I couldn't be any more blessed!!

Jacy is 9 months

Jacy turned 9 months on Sunday it's really hard to believe!!! She is changing fast and growing up way too fast!! she has found her tongue and still loves to laugh! She plays with her little friend Ella now but is kind of a big bully. She can stand on her own but doesn't want to take steps! She claps so cute and with a purpose:) She hears music and starts boppin, she hears the bands at bball games and can't get enough of it! I remember Jake loved music so much when he was her age! Abby I would say is still her favorite and can get her to laugh very easily. She is still such a sweet baby who is always so happy!!! We love you Jacy Kate

8 months

Yes that is how old our baby girl is! Jacy is 8 months and changing by the day. She is pulling herself up on everything and trying to move from place to place. She doesn't realize she can really hurt herself. She destroys our house in minutes if left alone, she now gives kisses, waves bye bye and makes some pretty cute faces!! Yesterday she decided she would be big and tackle the stairs... needless to say it didn't turn out very well:( she's ok though but the gate goes back up now:) She is getting way too big, way too fast but she is sure fun!! No more teeth but she is trying hard, after a couple weeks under the weather she perked up and is as healthy as can be! What a blessing she is to our family she is still a very happy baby who loves to smile, smile, smile!!
