1...2...3... Say BLESSINGS!

Me behind the camera. My eyes a little watery. So much to be grateful for.

Never perfection the first time around.
(what is Brock doing? i know what Cole is doing!)

Close to perfection when given a second chance.

Thankful the Lord gives us second chances every day. Somehow saying "cheese" just doesn't seem right.

1...2...3... Say BLESSINGS!

4-2= something's missing

So...my oldest two are gone. Gone on a whirl wind trip to Dallas with Grandma and Papa (where they are no doubt having the time of their lives.) Leaving me with my two little Cs. And while I am enjoying the quiet of two kids (Well, one really. Cole is always good at making himself heard!). . .I am officially confessing that I am missing the craziness of four.

What have we been doing to pass the time until Brock and Brynn return?

Some sleeping, some sidewalk chalk, and a whole lot of nursing up in here!

it's ya birthday!

True or False: Rob would choose a Ball Park hot dog over a birthday cake in celebration of this day.

(or any day for that matter)

Answer: TRUE!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Rob!

*Can't imagine Me without You*

Big Sister or 2nd Mom

I thought these pictures of Brynn and Cody were cute. I don't do much with the baby without her right by my side.

(that's Cole's hand sneaking in the pic to touch baby.)

Deep thoughts on little Cody....

by his new family.

Rob: "He weighs less than my latest trophy steel head...but I think he's deserving of a 5x7 in the fishing room."

Me: "Too cute for words." (and... I can't believe I have four kids now. We are barely fitting in this picture!)

Brock: "He's cute Mom. Now, how does the doctor get him out of your tummy?"

Brynn: "I just want to hold him and never put him down."

Cole: "I don't want to hold baby Cody because I don't want to wash my hands. What's this button do Mom?"

C is for...
