Familiar faces

Don't you love seeing a familiar face unexpectedly?!? For me it brings good memories of being raised in a small town. Where I'd wave hello to 5 friends just while in the car on my way to town. Well, we got to run into these sweet faces over the weekend.



We went to a community gathering were they served cotton candy ( Marleys first time every having it ) popcorn and snow cones. We were in treat heaven! Marley got her face painted and requested a made, purple butterfly ballon.




Before leaving we made some noodle jewelry.



What a GREAT date with my girls. ( did I mention all of this was free?! )

Shout out for Emery

Happy late birthday! Can't believe she's turned 5? Well you'd better cause it's happened. :)



We had such a rockin time at your birthday party yesterday. Thanks for inviting us! I really loved watching you dance with your friends while singing along to your favorite song "stuck like glue."



This moment was so heart melting ... after opening her gift she jumped up and gave Austin a hug. Really wish the pic wasn't blurry.



Love you Emery

Blessings!

We went to the lake one morning while gramachele was here and I realized how much my kids are growing up and what fun their personalities are. Emery with her tenacity and exuberance. She picked out her outfit and wanted a bandana to be just like daddy. She wants to be a rockstar when she grows up and has been asking for a guitar for her birthday for the past 6 months. She loves life and loves learning and school. She is definately my joy baby!
Isabelle is all prisms and rainbows and pretty things. She is learning how to do her own hair and loves to dress in beautiful clothes. She is so long! She loves crafts and has been working on christmas presents already. She crochets better than I do. She is very social. Most importantly though she is a lover. She is forever serving others and has such compassion for others. She is a peacemaker and has a beautiful heart... She is my lovey!
Colin is all boy. He hippety hops everywhere. Rarely does he walk anywhere. He is forever climbing and jumping and dancing. He is so much fun! He is talking up a storm and is always the first to say thank you at dinner. He soothes my frustrations and snuggles so sweetly. He is my hippety hoppety happy boy!
Liam is growing into such a great young man. He is the best big brother ever. There is rarely a day that he is unkind to Colin. He is always making him smile and including colin in his play. He is great with his friends. He has a great writing style and makes us laugh often. He is stubborn but is a great helper with the younger kids. He is my little man!
i am so grateful for each of my children. I consider myself very blessed!
