Following in Daddys footsteps......

Hopefully they didnt erase anything or Daddy isnt gonna be too happy!!

How did we get so blessed to have these beautiful babies?

Sometimes as parents we get so caught up in the daily grind that we fail to stop and realize how blessed we are!!! Though we are sometimes stressed out and stretched to our limits, when you stop and look at those little faces that look to you with such love and admiration no matter what you do, you cant help but stop and thank God for entrusting these little lives to your hands. Dont ever get discouraged because God gave those children to you and not another for a reason....He knows its a big job so He must know that you are fully capable of doing it well!!!!

Dont question God!!!!!

We are soooo thankful to be done with this stuff for this year at least!

Spring is finally here......

Well I think we can finally start counting on some nice weather of course in Michigan you never know! Last week we had a day of 70 degree weather and the next day it snowed! Go figure! God is doing amazing things in our lives and we cant praise Him enough for all of the blessings he's given us so far this year. We are planning to go down to Arkansas soon to visit Johns dad and stepmom and the kids are so excited to go see "paw paw". John has been working on the yard with my dad making a garden. He also made me a flower bed with a concrete wall around it!! I'm gonna put some lillies in there! Here's a pic of the garden so far!

Levi......

My baby boy and our last baby ( pretty sure at least) but you never know what God has in store so we'll see. Levi has been so far advanced from the beginning. He never seemed to want to be a baby walking at 8 1/2 months and talking far past others in his age group. He is our little drummer man and is probably the most like Daddy at least in the musical area!! He loves monkeys and the shushybyes!!! He turned 2 in March so I guess its time to get rid of the paci!!! This outta be fun!

Lilly Jane.....

Our only girl and boy is she a girl!! You would think with all these brothers she might be a tomboy......nope!!!!! I'm thankful she's a girly girl and definitly has mommy's love for shopping....Daddy says "oh great" LOL. Dont get me wrong...she can hang in there with the boys and holds her own pretty well. She is in love with Disney Princesses and Caillou and cant wait to go to preschool this fall.

Tyrese....

Tyrese is becoming quite the young man himself. Between him and Mikah we may be eaten out of house and home real soon! He likes to play outside alot and this year goes to Glerum Elementary. Next year hopefully we can place him at Vanderbilt with Mikah!

Mikah......

Can you believe this boy is 6 already! I can't. Time sure flies! He is doing so well this year at VanderBilt Charter Academy. He loves school and is reading already at the next grade level....wonder where he gets that from! :) He's definitly a class clown with a contagious personality. We are so proud of him!

New at this!!!!

So I'm not a pro at this blogging thing but figured since we have so much family out of state and even here in Michigan that it would be easy to give everyone updates on us this way!!!! I'll do my best to keep up with it!!!!
