Hey y’all!! My fellow friends who enjoy a peek into our life! :-) These weeks seem to be flying by and it’s hard to remember what has happened and when because it’s like a flash! One day it’s here....the next day GONE! About a week ago we got to celebrate a little firefly turning one!! It’s amazing to watch my nieces and nephews grow up and even more awesome to see them grow up side by side with my babies! Like I said, time is just zooming by! My nieces party was so fun and filled with such happy memories!! And she’s such a doll anyhow! Well, our weeks have been filled to the brim with decluttering our house, cleaning the house, raising our kids, bible readings, documentaries, and just all around craziness!! I tried to take the kids out to the zoo for it’s free day but the humidity was SO BAD Oswin was begging to go home within 5 minutes of being there! I’m praying we’re able to take them out to the Saint Louis zoo very soon!! I’m positive they’d LOVE it!! Plus,

Hey yall!! So about a week ago I got the most wonderful news (yet again!! Never gets old) that I became an aunt again!! My Wonder Woman of a sister-in-law brought my sweet little niece into this world after a long 39 hr labor. Definitely Wonder Woman if you ask me! :-) This past Wednesday we got the privilege of meeting the little thing in pink!! Anyhow! Without further ado....below are some pictures from that night!! Hope y’all enjoy! This past Sunday we got an even greater privilege of witnessing our niece get baptized into the kingdom of Christ!! Made me tear up a little!! Remembering the promises we made when we did the same and promising to come together as a body of Christ to be there for her too!  Well, I hope y’all enjoyed the pictures!!! They seriously don’t do enough justice!! She’s just the sweetest and cutest doll baby!! Anyhow, I’ll close now as I think up another blog post of my family’s life!! Y’all come back now, ya hear?!? :-)

I decided to start with something I’ve been convicted of as of late and my husband encouraged me to share it...so! Here goes!  Here’s a question you should ask yourself. What is the main purpose of my friendship with others? Is it to tear apart others, discuss who did what or said something or even what they wore? Or is it to discuss how you’re raising your kids to glorify God, what God is teaching you in your life or things that are happening with YOU without mentioning anyone else? Are we raising each other up or giving others a bad name?   Lately our family has really enjoyed taking bike rides into Morton to visit a little park that’s recently been built! It’s small and the kids LOVE it so much! Plus it gives them some time to run off some steam! It’s been a huge blessing for us especially with young ones! I’m so thankful we’ve found an activity all of us enjoy doing together! Below are some photos of one of our visits this past week....
