What happens

when you leave this kid alone for 5 minutes

runs straight to mom's make-up bag, that's what.

Taylor's Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

Your Welcome for this food,
Your Welcome that daddy has a job,
Your Welcome for baby Levi,
Thankyou for our Family,
Thankyou for Jesus,

In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

Campfires

give warmth,
cook up delicious food,
roast gooey marshmallows,

bring you closer to the one you love,

are extremely hypnotizing,

and when you have Grandpa's around, they can become extremely huge with the "special" liquid.

At the end of the evening you have a face like this.

but couldn't be ANY happier! We love campfires!

Neighborhood Parade

A fire truck, an ambulance, tons of kids, their bikes, and a trailor full of nursery kids makes for one fun parade around the block! The boys had a blast!

Can you see the excitement in this young boys eyes?

That is a tattoo I am okay with. Corbin loved it and didn't want it washed off for days afterwards.

Whenever I see Taylor holding a flag, what comes to mind is

"You're a Grand Ol Flag, You're a High Flying Flag..."

Levi, Mommy, and Taylor are sitting at the far left. I was so happy that they let the nursery kids ride on here....and Taylor.

At the end of the parade I was trying to catch some great moments of Levi and what do you know, they were behind him.

tooth

One night we were flossing and noticed a wiggly tooth. A few days later....

this happened.
It went quite fast since he was trying to bite two lego pieces apart. Works like a charm.

I made one pretty bad mistake, however. I didn't expect the tooth to come out so fast so there was limited options for the tooth fairy, a penny, a two-dollar bill, or a credit card... we went with the two dollar bill. But we explained this was ONE special tooth. The tooth fairy will be broke if she continues at that rate...

Our House

is officially up for sale. Yes, it is time for our growing family to move on. We have LOVED this home! It has been in such a great area and was the perfect starter home. If anyone knows of someone who is looking for a home right now, let them know. Our MLS is 975163.

Here is a tour of our home right now.

Who thinks I can keep this house clean with three boys during the next while?

Hope

I am so grateful to be an American. What a great time of year to reflect on what matters most.

My Faith.
My Freedom.
My Family.

And I fully enjoy each one of them.

When I look at these boys I think:

I do not need to live in fear...

I need to have hope for the future...

I need to enjoy every moment I have...

And at the end of the day, that is what matters to me.
