Mattie's not twee anymore

My mattie isn't three (twee) anymore...He's four. I'm kinda sad and kinda glad at the same time. You see, Mattie turning four means he's one more year closer to going to school, one year closer to not being the baby. He's my last baby, that's where me being sad comes in. I went from wanting kids so bad and not being able to have kids to adopting and giving birth all in the same year. Followed by a baby every three years. Now, I'm done. No more babies... :-( But I'm in that place where even though it makes me sad I am kinda glad to be past the worry that a tiny newborn brings. Past the diapers and breastfeeding and sleepless night that come along with a sweet newborn baby...



so I am here ...so thankful for a healthy four year old. So proud of how sweet and smart he is. So thankful that God gave me one more sweet boy...I'll never have a twee year old again. Bittersweet... Happy Birthday Mattie!!!

Summer Time means Birthday's at our house...
Brennan turns 7 and Mattie turns 4





this is Brennan's rainbow cake...He loves this cake. It is colorful and creative just like Him :-)


Happy Birthday Brennan...WE LOVE YOU GOO BEAR!!!

Jesus has really Big Ears

Hello,


It's been way to long since I've posted. I kinda got sidetracked with life and kids and marraige and the other stuff that goes along with life and kids and marraige. Back in April Matthew scared us with a weird virus that we are thinking was mono. Anyways his bloodwork was all screwy and it really, really, REALLY scared me. His bloodwork went back to normal after a few weeks and we are moving on. Thank you Jesus!!! My little man, Brennan is starting kindergarten this year. Yikes, he is so very sweet and niaeve. I told my hubbie that i wish i could just keep him home. Shelter him. Let him stay the sweet innocent little boy that i adore. I know that's not an option. So, i have bought him his uniforms, gathered the shots records, all the things you do. I will miss him during the day. All of his sweet little gifts that he so eagerly gives me all day long( He is picking me a "pop-flower" as i type this.) Pop Flower is a bud off of our crype myrtle tree. if you pick it before it blooms it is a ball.You squeeze it and out pops your flower. Hince, pop-flower.

Breenan's words not mine.

We were driving down the road to my mom's the other day and from the backseat i heard...
Breenan ~Momma, can Jesus hear me when i talk to him.
Me~ Yep, he sure can
Brennan~ why doesn't he talk back to me??
Me~ thinking of the right answer...
Corey~ He kinda talks to us through actions.
Me~ Yeah, that sounds good. He always hears you, he will talk to your heart Breenan.
Sam~ Your supposed to close you eyes and talk to him in your head not out loud Brennan.
Me~ No Sam, you can talk to Jesus however you want. You can talk to him when you're riding in the car and that is just fine.
Brennan~ yep, Mom, I sure can, cause Jesus hears me Whenever i talk to him. Cause Jesus has Really Big Ears!!!

He is sooo right. Jesus does have really big ears. He hears us all the time. No matter what we bring to him, Jesus hears us. I love you Breenan!! I love your innocence and your sweet, sweet heart. You are truly a blessing to me and to everyone you meet.

One little monkey jumping on the bed

I have to post these pictures of Mattie jumping on his bed. Well I have to admit, i kinda let him do it. I even encouraged him to do it. Bad mom, I know. Oh well, i got some good pics of him doing it.(One is brighter than the other thanks to photoshop) He is going to be two in June and you know what, it's just cute right now. So i won't tell my other kids about this because you know it's not to cute when your seven year old or thirteen year old does it. Well that's a whole other story. Anyways here is to one little monkey jumping on the bed. I love you Mattie poo!!

With a face like that

How can you get mad at a face like that?? I know all you stay at home moms know what I'm talking about. You go to the other room to do whatever it is that you need to do, knowing your leaving things to be done in the room with the little people. ya know the little people who are clones of you and your darling hubbie. The ones with the sweetest little faces that ya love sooo much. Well, I returned to the kitchen after leaving for a few minutes to switch out the wash and here are a few pictures showing what i returned to. How can you get mad at someone with a face like that? By the way, that wasn't washable markers.
