.pool time.

 The kids were so excited for the weather to get warm so that they could start swimming at BecBec's pool....they are like little fish! The water is freezing right now, but they don't care. 

.Donuts for Dads.

Next up was donuts for dads.....HJ was so excited for daddy to take her to school and then hang out for a bit. She said one of her friends' dad wasn't able to come, so she told the little girl, "its ok....I can share my daddy with you." This girl has a heart of gold!

AP didn't want to miss out on the picture taking! 

:Muffins for Moms:

 I was so thankful to be able to spend some time with this sweet girl at preschool. I love watching her learn and interact with her friends. I am blessed to be called Mommy by this precious girl!

.daddy daughter date.

In March, Chickfila hosted a daddy daughter date night. I signed HJ and Andrew up for it. HJ was so excited. We went and bought her a new dress and she wanted her hair straightened. It was precious! The night of it Andrew left a little early and went to buy her flowers. She was beaming when they got back home!

Here they are before they left:

.We are STILL here!.

 There is no excuse other than no motivation to get on the computer to do the blog! I have missed it though...I feel like its the modern day scrapbook, so I want to keep it up for the sake of memories and the fact that we don't have family that lives close to us. So here goes to updating the last several months of our lives!
 We have made the official decision for me to stay home at the end of this school year. I couldn't be more excited for this next stage in our lives. We will be keeping HJ home and I will homeschool her for her kindergarten year! YIKES! I am pumped, but a little nervous about that. Staying home is also going to open doors with the life/ministry of all that the Lord is doing at Mercy Hill. Speaking of MH, we are FINALLY in our new space and loving it! The Lord is continuing to work and move in and through the lives of the people. I am blown away each week to see the Lord move. So grateful for it!
 The kids growing like weeds. AP talks NON STOP, is constantly destroying things, is fully potty trained, loves to wrestle, always seems to push HJ's buttons with things, eats ALL.THE.TIME, would live outside if you let him, has an incredible imagination, he loves to sing and play instruments, and is quite the story teller (he makes up big elaborate stories that begin with "Once upon a time"...it is too cute! HJ is growing up right before our eyes. She is so observant to the things/people around her, she is so loving and motherly to the little kids at church, she loves to meet a new friend, at church she is the best greeter for new kids in the kids ministry, and she is learning and soaking up so much right now. She knows the Gospel and wants others to know it. She is still strong willed, but I can't wait to see what the Lord is going to do with her! I am so thankful for these two amazing little blessings. God is so good!

warming up by the fire!

Story time while AP goes to potty

9 years

...yep that is right.... 9 years that I have been married to my stud of a husband.... so thankful for the godly husband, daddy, leader, and pastor that the Lord gave to me....

Andrew,
 I love you more than you know and am so thankful to walk this life alongside of you!
