The Small Things

 One small thing in particular turned four today. I can't believe it! She is growing so fast! This day four years ago this would of been happening...









Time hasn't stopped flying since... Since then a lot of this has been going on!













Seriously! It has gone by faster than I could dream of! It has been such a blessing to be a Mom to this little girl! I couldn't be any prouder! Not to say everyday has been easy-- which if you're a mom you know this. Everyday is definitely worth it though. Every second! As much as I teach her she teaches me more. Her love knows no limits, she laughs all the time, when people cry she hugs them and tells them to be happy! She doesn't sweat the small stuff! If she spills something she announces that it is all okay she is going to just clean it up! The Lord has truly blessed me and I know for sure I have developed some callouses on my knees. I walk next to her praying for her. For her life that she loves Jesus and has a heart for Him with everything she has in her, when the trials come that I will have the wisdom to help her, that her spouse will be raised to love God, and pretty much anything else you could think of. Thank you Lord for this beautiful, healthy, hilarious, loving little girl. Guide me and strengthen us as we lead her in her life. Happy Birthday Little Girl!

High Five For Friday

Okay, so I love the idea of a High Five for Friday (H54F). Basically its a weekly post about your five favorite things from that week. A chance to stop and reflect on the things you were blessed by over the past week. Sort of a weekly one thousand gifts if you will! Here goes:



1. Is spending time with two of my favorite people this week. Hubs is in seminary and works so our time together is limited. It was wonderful to spend time all together!


2. After 4 years my husband and I have finally booked our "Honeymoon". WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW EXCITED WE ARE! Did I mention we were excited?


3. As a surprise the Hubs surprised Kendi and I with a trip to Busch Gardens on the 4th of July. It was a blast! I loved seeing K's expressions as she looked at everything. She told us thank you at least two dozen times. We can't wait to take her when she can go and feed the giraffes or the baby kangaroos. :)


4. We all went and saw Spider-Man together. Kendi loves all the Marvel comic book characters. Her favorite Avenger is Captain America. She also really loves to watch movies like her Daddy!


5. I love fireworks. So much fun. Mostly because they're beautiful and you're not sure what they're going to look like until they explode. Which is something I am glad people can't do.


What plans do you have for your weekend? A certain little girl is going to be 4 on Monday. It seems like just yesterday she was born! We have plans to celebrate her this weekend and I can't wait!


Enjoy your weekend!
In His Love,
