I can't believe how long it has been since I last blogged!  So many days I want to blog and don't take the time or the words just don't come to me.  In the last year our lives have changed so much and yet so little. I know hope pray for changes in the next 4-6 weeks, not because I am not happy with where we are, but because I feel that God has bigger plans for us.  So, if you would, please say a prayer for us that God will guide us and continue to watch over us.

Even as I sit here typing this blog, the words just don't flow.  They come out jumbled.  They don't portray my feelings.  They don't capture the essence of what I want to say.  So, I am going to just add some pictures of they joys of my life...my 3 wonderful kids!









Attempts at family photos often turn out like this! 






Enjoying some cotton candy at the circus (sorry it is sideways)

Awesome hats from Carla...William wanted to model too!

A visit to the butterfly house.

Katelyn's blue tongue from a Robin's Egg Easter candy.


Hillbilly sledding!


Look at those muscles


William's picnic lunch.  He was determined to have lunch outside. 
So peaceful when she sleeps.

William's haircut

William got a "big boy" haircut before we did family pictures.  He is getting better about his haircuts each time, but it is still a challenge.

 A before...the wind blowing thru his hair.








The after...my handsome little man!

A trip to the Falls...

We took a trip to the Falls one night as a family and enjoyed a beautiful and a little wet evening.  We had a lot of fun and got to see some awesome clouds, a beautiful rainbow, and lots of planes.  Here are some pictures from the evening.

Happy Birthday William!

We all say it..."I can't believe {insert name here} is already {insert age here}.

But that saying is so true.  For me, I can't believe William is already TWO!

We have had a year of adventure and learning with William.  He is DEFINITELY all BOY, a hard adjustment for me after two girls who would freak out if they got just a little dirty.  I love him for all he is and all the challenges I face with him.

Over the past 2 weeks we have had fun celebrating William.  As a family we celebrated at Pizza Ranch and Texas Roadhouse.  Then we celebrated with Grammy and Papa.  Finally we celebrated with family and friends tonight.  William LOVED it all!

This year he loves all the attention and when we sing Happy Birthday to him he grins from ear to ear.  He loves to blow out the birthday candles and I have to re-light the candles to do it again.  He enjoys the cake.  He loves to open presents.

As William turns 2 he is enjoying playing with trucks, rough-housing, and bouncy houses.  Enjoy the pictures from all his birthday celebrations and here is to another wonderful year full of adventure!

 Opening some gifts...
