She's 8 today. Little Miss Prim and Proper who this year has figured out the joy of burping and fart jokes is not so little anymore. I cannot believe she's 8. It seems like she should still be a tiny baby with a strawberry blonde mohawk, not a big girl riding her bike and learning how to do jumps on her scooter. She's a natural born gymnast which she obviously did not get from me. This week she showed me her one handed perfect cartwheel. Half way there to her goal of a no handed cartwheel. She's the one that is the most like me. Shy, nature loving, animal lover that wants to do … [Read more...]

Saturday we had a small family birthday party for Princess Newbie. Last year for her party, which also was only for family, I went all out. I killed myself making decorations and planning the rainbow cake for hours. Then the day of the party arrived and I was tired before I even woke up. This year I decided to have a simple birthday party and make easy Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes.  Simply they are just cupcakes made in an ice cream cone. The party last year was great but what I remember of her first birthday party was the work that went into it.  If you remember, last year I made her this … [Read more...]

I know this is going to be a hard post to write and I know I'm going to cry. Why you ask? Because I teared up tonight at dinner asking this girl if she's enjoyed her birthday celebrations so far. It's true.  This beautiful little Princess turns 6 this morning.  We celebrated Tuesday night since she has Awanas on Wednesday. It took everything I had in me to keep my voice strong at dinner so that Damion wouldn't make fun of me. So hurry and buy stock in Kleenex because here we go... This girl is my first. The one who taught me how to be a mom. She has put up with all the parenting … [Read more...]

Basin of Grace

Four years ago today Grace Kathryn was born at 6:13am. To say that we were in love from the beginning was an understatement. There was a wonderful singer at church today named Kim Walker (look her up). She talked at length about God's love for His children. I didn't really understand that love until I became a parent. There is no way to describe the love that we had for her and still have for her. When she's sick, our heart breaks. When she's disobedient, our heart breaks. When she is sad, we want to cry as well. But when she's happy and full of life, we relish in it. We are so overjoyed that … [Read more...]
