Birthday-part 2

Bowling was a blast!!!

Emily's 10th Birthday

Emily invited 3 friends to come have pizza and then go bowling. We had a lot of fun!

Soccer Season Is Here!

Here is our first weekend of soccer!

My Superstars!

I am just so proud of my children. Even if they weren't "Superstars" in cross country and soccer, I would still be proud. They are turning out to be incredible people. Sure, I have the occasional moment when I wonder, "Did I do all that I could?" "Why do they act like ___ or do___?" "Am I a good mother?"

But then, God gently taps me on the shoulder and reminds me that He loves me and has entrusted Matt and I with these children. We love them and do the best that we know how to do. And, I think they are turning out to be pretty great little people!

So, below you can catch a few glimpses of their "shining moments" running cross country, practicing for soccer, and doing skooter stunts!!!

Superstars!

I am amazed!

Truly, I am just amazed at how quickly my children are growing. It seems like only yesterday that I was HUGE and Pregnant and waiting for that first little miracle to make her way into this world. I remember it like it was yesterday. But it was not yesterday, it was 10 years ago! And my oh my how our "Little Emily Mae" has grown since. I am so proud of the little lady she is becoming. I LOVE her freckles and beautiful smile. I love the way she still wants me to tuck her in and pray with her at night. I hope she never outgrows "me." It reminds me of the "I'll Love You Forever" story - "...as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." Thanks for the blessing of being your mom Emily Mae. I love you (all the way to the moon and back) :)

Daniel at school

On Fridays I help out in Daniel's class. It's always fun and I get to see first hand what he is learning for the week.

Sunday Shenanigans

So what did you do on this beautiful, un-winter-like, day? Our family headed up to a shooting range on a friend's property and took turn...
