BUT GOD

I have been MIA for a few years now...but I have amazing news that I need to share with you!!! You know, for so long there was one empty swing that caused us so much pain, BUT GOD had a different picture all along!!! You guys, God is so FAITHFUL!!!

We welcomed, Asher Thomas, to our family on August 1st. He is a complete miracle baby from God....and we are so smitten!!!

I intend on blogging again....bc our life needs a journal and a place that we can look back on. I hope you will join me again!

~we are still living and loving life~

Look how much we've grown??!!

WOW....has it really been nearly a year??!!!  Yep, we have been busy making memories and really just trying to enjoy every minute we have with these blessings.  Please forgive me for dropping blogging.....Here we are!!! 

Can you believe how big they are??  So cliche....but "where does time go??"

so I will remember....

I catch myself stepping back and looking at the three children standing at my feet, and I am in shock/awe that 'that are really MINE!!'  We waited so long for this, and when I stop and really think about it...the miracle that they are just amazes me.  God's promises are so true!   "I will turn their mourning into joy; I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow." Jeremiah 31:13

Cayden, Brock and Lynlee all have distinct personalities and traits.  I want to remember them forever...but my memory isn't the best these days!!  So here is a post just so I will remember....

~ With outreached arms C says "I love you DIS much!"
~ C also says "I love you back and moon"----so cute!!
~ C is now potty trained, and he will say 'point it down' everytime he goes into bathroom!
~Morning moochies are a must for C and I!
~At night, C will tell us " 5 minutes in your bed...5 minutes"  He really loves to snuggle!
~C has inherited my love for ice cream and he calls it ice-em.
~C says "don't worry bout it" and "you kiddin' me".......it is the cutest thing ever!!

~B is a very picky eater...but he loves blueberry pancakes.
~ B LOVES baby einstein and praise baby videos.....he will just sit and stare! 
~B's speech consists of very cute nasal-y sounds...just a few common words and the rest is alien talk.
~B has the cutest giggle. 
~B really is related to monkeys---he can climb anything.

~L is an incredible eater...but she despises blueberry pancakes.
~L is the leader and bully in the twin relationship.
~L smiles with her mouth wide open...we love it!
~L shakes her head "no,no" with the cutest giggle and grin...she is ROTTEN.
~L has really captured my heart....I feared being a mom to a little girl...but she has definitely turned that all around.

That is all for now..just a few of the things I couldn't possibly get enough of.  I don't let a day go by that I don't thank God for these miracles. 

Naked Cowboys and Tutu's!!

We recently had the twins' one year photo shoot....it was a little over a month late!!  Just trying to buy time!  I know I have been MIA over here in blogland, but we have been so busy.  I have a to-do list a mile long...and it keeps growing!   We are super excited to be breaking ground on our NEW HOME in just a few short weeks! 

We purchased an RV this summer as well, so we took our first family camping trip in our own camper...it was a blast...looking forward to many more! 

I absolutely LOVED every picture that our photographer was able to capture...I would love to share all of them with you, but due to the public being able to see everything...I elect not to post the most adorable naked booty pics....just picture a little naked cowboy/cowgirl in hat and boots!!!

Without further ado:
