Spring 2015 Photos -- Oh How I LOVE These Kids…

I love them with my whole heart… I can't believe how big they're getting… Part of me wants to shout STOP at the top of my voice … and a part of me can't wait to see the people they become… They are each growing and changing. Love how these came out. Our sweet, sweet babies. They'll always be our babies.

Tomorrow She's Six...

Tomorrow our sweet baby girl will be 6… It's crazy that it's been six years since she came into all of our lives…. Love her so, so much. She is so very mighty.

Kate's 6th Birthday Party! Arrrrrrrrrr!!!!

And now we are six…. Wasn't that the Winnie the Pooh story..? I love it. She's six. Where, oh where did the time really go?
We celebrated "Pirate" style… with her closest friends and family. She had an absolute ball. She was so excited to share the pirate hats, eye patches, compasses and her very own pirate treasure! She had a lot of fun running around with her friends and playing 'War'… That's our Kate… Nerf guns and light saber fights… with anyone who will play! She wanted a Pirate cake with a skull and crossbones… and doubloons and diamonds. She got it! Mama is always happy to oblige in the cake department.
It was a very fun day for all of us and I know she was happy… She went to sleep telling me it was "The best day ever, Mommy!"… Love her so. very. much. Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl.

Happy 12th Birthday to This Guy!

 Oh, how did he ever get this big? Seriously?! Twelve Years Old… and going to pass up Mama in height any day now… He is such an amazing guy. The very best quality about Noah… is his heart. I have never known anyone like Noah. Ever. He is what I strive to be every day. He is one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I've ever known… and I'm lucky, because he's my son. He is still a straight A student… loves to swim for the Middle School team at Maryville, LOVES to be with his friends… loves X-Box, Pokemon, STAR WARS… his family and his dog. He's growing so very fast.
We celebrated with his closest friends, eating pizza and Minecraft cake… All he asked for this year was my peanut butter and chocolate cupcakes, which I was more than happy to make for him… But he needed a cake too (who doesn't need a birthday cake?!) , so I surprised him with the Minecraft cake and he loved it. Love this boy. SO MUCH! Happy Birthday, Noah!! We love you!!
