The latest cookie order!

I think Trixie is already out growing her dog house, she is only 15 weeks old. She is pulling the blankets out of her house and picking new places around the yard to rest. This was the first time she did it and i thought it was so cute! I dont think she is too cute very often so I had to capture it! haha. Tonight she had the blankets all in a pile on the porch. I dont know what she is thinking!

Jake was SO proud of himself for buttoning all the buttons my himself. A little crooked but hey he did it! Love the mix match combo we got going on too! He is growing up so fast!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON!!

Check out these crazy boys and there new idea of fun! Made me a little nervous!

Ya know sometimes the Lord allows things to happen that we just dont understand or feel are fair! Today I lost my baby. I had been having problems for 3 weeks and it had just been a roller coaster of emotions. We are completely devistated but doing ok. I know and have faith that the Lord will do good things from this oh so sad event. I know He is hurting right along with me. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understandings." I praise Jesus for the precious two little boys I do have but we know our family is not complete and one day we will be blessed again with another addition to our family!

Ya know I have moved enough times in my life (7) and had to pick up my life and move away from the wonderful friends I had made in those places and it was never easy! But I can tell you it is ALOT harder to watch a really great friend of yours pick up her life and move away. Not fun, not fun at all to be on this end of the deal...where my life goes on, with the same chores and responisbilities, but only with out the friend that helped hold it all together at times! I am sure gonna miss you Lisa. God places those certain kinds of people in our lives that we need, that will fight with us through hard times and endure the ups and downs of motherhood with us. Thank you to all those friends I have had to leave behind, I love ya and treasure all those times we got to have together in that moment in our lives when the Lord placed us in eachothers paths!

My kids.....all four of them!!!!:)

This is what the boys got to open Christmas eve. new tradition we are starting, matching pj's and slippers! Jake loved his new big boy robe!

Oh Christmas tree oh Christmas tree, how tiny are your branches! Out nice 6.5 foot tree looked so small in our living room with 10 foot ceilings! Thanks to after Christmas sales, next year we will fill the room with a new 9 footer!

They were so cute in their matching PJ's! We had an odd Christmas morning, Jake slept till 8 or so and Jonas didnt wake up till almost 10:00! Not very typical that the parents are up board wondering when the kids are gonna get up....had we known just how exhausted he really was we all could have caught up on some lost zzzz's!

We have a trampoline in our living room! Not quite the quality from the movie BIG, but were working on it! Gotta start small.....man the boys love this thing, Thanks gamma and grandad! That crazy pup, she just cant stay out of the way! She is growing by the second and getting so big!
