Birthday Memories

Mama & Papa Gurnee spent the evening with us tonight making memories. Mama got to rock Alyssa to sleep. Don't know how many more times that will happen. She is growing up so fast. Vincent and Kendra logged some snuggle time with Mama as well. Papa got his share too as you can see!! Our kids have the best 2 sets of grandparents in the world!!

Vincent opened his gifts from Papa & Mama Gurnee. He also got some money that he plans to use to purchase a fishing pole, a night light and tennis shoes.

P.S.... if you have the place on your property to make a fire pit, I'd highly recommend it. It was one of the best things we've done to this property. I can't explain what there is about it but fellowship around it is so much sweeter and meaningful. Perhaps it's all in my head.

Happy Birthday to Our First Born

Dear Kenton,

Today (April 7th) you turn 8 years old. It is unbelievable how fast these last 8 years have flown by. What undescribable joy you have brought to our lives. We are so very proud of you and love you very very much. This song is the song we sang to you at your dedication. We meant it then, and we still mean it. Happy Birthday buddy!!

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

I am so Blessed!!

Today I was busy working and I heard the kids hollering for me to come. They had been outside playing so I figured someone had gotten hurt or something like that. When I came into the kitchen this is what I saw:

They all said, "Happy Birthday Mom!!" Then Kenton hastened to add, "A couple days early!!" LOL My kids are so sweet and I am so very very blessed to be their mommy.
