Sunday "Ride"

Daddy really wanted to go out riding his motorcycle on Sunday, but his buddies wives wouldn't let them go...LOL. But feeling bad and knowing the rain was coming....I packed up the whole family for us to spend the day at the riding area just so daddy could ride.


The children had a blast. They rode their bicycles pretending they were motorcycles just like daddy, they got dirty (and I mean VERY dirty), we played games, had a picnic, and took "nature" walks. Here are some pics from their adventures. :)

Major Dilemma

Jazmine has recently been very bothered by something.... it will distract her in the middle of dinner ... it keeps her from falling asleep at night ....it has her going off on tangents in the middle of a conversation ....it is seriously a major dilemma for her. After weeks of her struggling with this dilemma, I am happy to report we are past it. All is well in the world.

"MOMMY!!!! I FINALLY figured it out! I finally know what I want to be when I grow up!!"

"That's great, Jazmine!! But remember, like I told you before, you have plenty of time to figure it out still."

"I don't need time Mommy. I FINALLY know!!"

"Well, then you better tell me! Is it a SuperHero still? Or Ballerina? Or a Princess?"

"NOPE! This is so exciting Mommy! I want to be the person who moves all the big rocks that are in the way for people. I will eat more vegetables so I can be strong enough to move them all by myself with my big muscles I'll grow."

"That sounds very exciting! You will love that! Thanks so much for telling me."

"I know mommy, I was getting worried. I thought I'd never figure it out....... "

Pics, pics, and pics!!!

Day at the park

The weather has been crazy around here, and therefore the children have been stuck inside more often than not. We got a decent amount of time without rain the other day, so we found a new park to take the children to. (Sorry for the pictures....I did what I could with editing, but my camera is in poor shape and needs retired! LOL)

And he's off again!

Gotta love the swings!!

Resurrection Sunday

What a wonderful day this past Sunday was! The sermon at church was wonderful, and I LOVE hearing my children talk about Jesus and his amazing love. As Isaac and Jazmine took turns telling me yesterday, "Christ died for sinners so we could go to Heaven." And that "Jesus is ALIVE! He isn't in the cave on the mountain any more."

Here they are all dressed up and ready to go to church! (Or "Jesus' house" as they have called it since they started learning to talk)
