I have a feeling that in the future, trying to gt all 3 of these cuties in a picture together is going to be nearly impossible. It was hard enough to snap this shot! Letting Bents lay that close to SJ is not something I do very often. He may look like he's being all happy and nice, but I

   P is becoming my little man. No longer my little boy. I know that people tell me frequently that "time flies", but seriously... TIME FLIES. P starts Pre-K4 today. He's super excited about being in class with a couple of his friends from church. Another thing he will be starting soon....SOCCER! I

  Getting beat up by a 1.5 year old is not cool. But very common at our house. Bents can be a monster. I like to call him "happy mean". You know. Happy. But mean. Although it may look like he is trying to resuscitate his brother in this picture, I can promise you he is not trying to give P

 A few weeks ago my husband and I took a big step in our faith! I have been wanting to get baptized for quite some time now, but never had the discipline or courage to do it. Our church is rather large (1,500 + people) and so I was nervous. I didn't grow up in church and proclaiming my love and

Not just any girl. One girl in particular. Unfortunately she lives a few hours a way (I may appreciate that in about 10 years). When I told P she was coming to visit soon, he insisted on sending her a video message. I'm hoping her dad doesn't cancel the trip after he watches this. Let's just

Every time I look at this little guy he just keeps growing and growing. Tonight I officially realized that my newborn...is no longer! He's getting so big! How does that happen so fast? He is at the phase now where he is really responding to my voice and it's adorable! I love when I get home from

  Yesterday was not as easy as I hoped. In fact, yesterday really sucked. A lot. Here I am pouting before I had to leave in the morning. The pouting truly never ended. I just don't remember it being this hard the first two times. Not to mention I went to put on my old work pants, and BAM,

It's been a few day since I blogged. I hate when that happens. I think I have secretly been depressed because I have to go back to work on MONDAY. Yes. Monday. As in 3 days from now. Holy mother of craziness. Has it really been 12 weeks already? I have truly enjoyed my time as a SAHM this

I finally attempted some of my own pictures of baby SJ. I gave him the "please do not look like a deer in headlights" chat prior to the photo shoot, but you know how 10 week olds can be, non-compliant. SO, because he has a mind of his own (stubborn KID)  is too young to follow my orders, you can

  Our little P Man turned FOUR on July 22! I vowed that I was going to keep his party MUCH smaller this year. As much as I loved having everyone over last year, SEVENTY-THREE people was just a little too much. P actually got so overwhelmed that he didn't even participate in his own
