Miss Maggie

It always amazes me how quickly kids grow and change! Maggie has a very happy personality- always ready with a huge smile as soon as she sees someone she knows...and many times even when she doesn't know them! She is just full of joy!





















Everyday Life

A little glimpse into everyday life for us- the kids having to pose for a picture upon Mom's request, Trinity and Maggie playing together, Trinity and Eli playing outside, and Eli hauling things in his trailer...how God blesses each and every day of our lives!














Weekend at Mimi and Papa's

Trinity adores her cousin Natalie- they both like to dress up and feel like princesses- or divas!

We of course went outside and played some football and ran around the yard...here it was time to tackle Uncle Jerid!





Mommy and Me

Our Maggiedoodle...always smiling! She captured our hearts even before she was born!

More Baking with Mimi

Eli may be a chef when he grows up! Anytime Mimi is baking something, he stops playing and comes to help her.


Carefree Days



Taken back to the days of my youth...my sister-in-law and I took the kids down to a creek by my grandparents' old home...something we did many times growing up- just playing in creeks- the mud, the sand, the water- a lot of fun! The kids had such a good time looking for minnos and getting dirty...such carefree days!









New Bangs

At Mimi and Papa's Trinity gave herself a new hairstyle- cut her own bangs! The other kids blamed it on Papa- said he was the one who left the scissors in the crayon box!

Mimi and Papa's Visit

Mimi and Papa came out at the beginning of October. We were so thankful they were able to come out for the weekend!


Eli really enjoys helping Mimi bake...I think his favorite part is the tasting!

Maggie found a new snuggle partner in Papa!

Another favorite picture of mine...the kids with Mom and Dad!








Newton Trip

At the end of September all of our family traveled to Newton to cheer our niece Danica on as she played volleyball. It was a great weekend filled with family time!


Eli and Addi had a wonderful time playing together...I see those two getting into trouble together the older they get!


Ooopps- turn your head to see this one! Daddy and his baby girl!



One of my favorite pictures- Grandma and Grandpa with all of their grandkids!



Turn your head again...Happy 3rd Birthday Elijah Ray!



Our baby boy isn't a baby anymore...he's a biggie boy of 3 years old! Can't believe how quickly
they grow and change! He is such a sweet boy- loves to shower his Mommy with kisses....and tackle Daddy! He's all boy...likes to collect rocks and dig in the dirt. How we treasure our little boy!
