Maci Grace

Korrayah is proud to annouce the arrival of her cousin! Maci Grace joined us today and we couldn't be more pleased! I love this picture..such a sweet face.. I see some of her daddy in this one! I love her hair and I think she needs a bow! Auntie purchase I am sure!

Proud Auntie! I can't wait to spend time with this sweet thing!

Congrats Matt and April! Sorry I have no pictures of the people who made this all happen, but I was using two different cameras and thought it was more important for them to have a picture of the three of them on their camera.

And now a word for my sister and one of my best friends-

April-

Today your life changed! As hard as this is going to be, I promise you there is no greater joy than being a mom. You are going to be such a great mom! Your patience, your joy, your sweet nature, your love for the Lord....oh you have so much to share....Maci is truly blessed! The next few years are going to bring you more tears, more laughs, more fun, more stress, and more love than you ever thought possible. Just so you know I will be at your side for all of it! Welcome to motherhood.....enjoy every tear, every smile, every laugh, because it goes by that fast!

Love you lots!

wordless wednesday

Remember these little guys....... Not so little anymore!

mathematical problem:

Started with 4

two were eaten by raccoons

my brother and sister-in-law gave us their two

One more was eaten

equals:

Three (Malachi is sure two of them are his original two)

These chickens have proved to be quite hysterical. We laugh as they coming running out as soon as we pull up in the driveway.

a new habit

This little girl has developed a new habit.....

while this is plenty cute....she is 2 1/2 and been paci broken for over a year seriously!!!!She is even teaching other children this nasty cute habit. A friend in the nursery at church picked up on this habit. So now what? We tried the "ignore the habit it will go away"...it has been three months! We tried "you can only do that in your bed"...we can't watch her 24-7!!! Better start saving our money for braces!

Another one to treasure

I took this picture on Memorial day at a local park. I love how it captures her innocence. I am not sure why she is covering her mouth, but the picture just reminds me of what so many men and women are going through by fighting for our country and makes me want to cover my mouth in ahhhh! Thanks to so many brave men and women!

(this photo is part of a contest the papermama is doing)

Celebrating 30 years surprise style

No better way to celebrate Dan's thirtieth birthday then with family and friends plus a good ole fashion hayride....and throw in the fact that all these people kept it a surprise!!!!

Thanks to all our family and friends who helped make this evening so much fun!!!

Happy Birthday Day!!! May you always remember this party and be reminded of how much you are loved! I look forward to the road ahead and know God has big plans for you! Love you babe!

a weekend needed

The holiday weekend was spent enjoying the cabin and each other. We spent lots of time quading, fishing, garage saling, and just being together. We came home Sunday night to no power...ahh! Anyway Monday was spent being outside and a family get-together in the evening! Korra sporting her holiday gear!!!

Just some of the wildlife we saw!!!

Hope you had a nice relaxing weekend!
