My New Favorite Song



I love this song!! I love it because the season of life we are in can seem like it is going to last forever but in all reality it doesn't and we find ourselves longing to get back in the season of life we so badly wanted out of. For instance, I have 3 boys all under the age 3 (my oldest is almost 4) and there are days that I want to pull my hair out and can't wait to move out of this season of life but, the truth is I don't want them to grow up I want them to be my babies forever. I know that when they are all teenagers I am going to miss the season of life I am in right now.

If you are a mommy you have to watch this video. It makes me cry every time. And, what mommy doesn't like a good cry!! Ha!!

Spring Break

My parents flew in on Saturday (April 4th) and we left early Sunday morning for Fort Walton Beach, Florida. We left the house with dreams of sun, warm weather, pools, and white sand beaches.

Here we are in the car ready for our 7 hour drive.









There were some naps taken along the way.



After checking in a getting all of our stuff unloaded it was time for dinner so we walked across the street to Fudpuckers. We all ate Mother Fudpucker Burgers. (I know, I know it sounds a lot like Fud&*%$#@^) They have baby alligators on display so after dinner we went to see them. The boys thought they were cool!!!





Oh, and this one you could hold and get a picture taken for (are you ready) $10.00. I don't think so!!! Come people don't you know we are in a failing economy!!!


The next morning we all got up put on our bathing suits and sun screen and headed for the pools. Remember how I said we were dreaming of sun, warm weather, pools, and white sand beaches. Well, there were pools, white sand beaches and even sun but there was no sign of warm weather. It was cold and windy!!!

So, we did a lot of this...







There were days that we tried to pretend it wasn't cold.







Finally a nice morning. The boys played in the pool and floated down the lazy river with Papa.



Then on the last day we were there we had the most perfect day. It was 78 degrees and no wind. It was beautiful!! So we decided to take the boys down to the beach.













After the morning at the beach we took baths, showers and naps. Then we packed up the car and headed home. We got home around 2:00am. The next morning we got up and went to church. Then we had a Easter family barbecue. And, I am the worst mom ever because I didn't take any pictures of my boys on Easter. I know, I am bad!!!

We had a great time!! It was so nice to spend time with my Mom and Dad and to see the boys with their Nana and Papa. Thanks Mom and Dad for a great Spring break. I love you so much!!

What did you all do for Spring break and Easter?

Fools Day



Today is National Atheist Day. How fitting that it would be the same day as April Fools day.

"the fool says in his heart there is no God." Psalm 14:1

Lets pray today that the Atheist's of the world would open their hearts and mind to GODS TRUTH!!!!

Sick! Sick! Sick!

Sorry for the lack of bloggin lately. We have been feeling a bit under the weather. And, just when I thought we were all well McKay woke up with a fever last night. I was like, "are you kidding me? we just got over being sick!"

I am bummed because I am really looking forward to my parents coming to visit and our trip to Florida for Spring Break and don't want to bring three sick kids to the beach. So, if you all could pray for our health that would be great!!! Thanks so much!!
