our littlest one. . .

 

is not so little anymore. it is so hard to believe that it has been four years since that little one arrived. i remember that day so vividly. he wasn't as anxious to come out as his brother (my scheduled c-section got rescheduled three times b/c he wasn't ready)!
so today, i want to reflect on his year and the things i love about him. . .
**it's been fun to see you grow into a little boy this year. all the baby fat is gone except for those sweet cheeks. that is my favorite part of you! mommy is hoping that those stick around for a while longer.
**i can't believe that you started and finished K3. we are so grateful for mrs. bagley and all the things that she taught you this year. it was funny to see the end of the school year slideshow. let's just say that it was no secret who the class clown was! you love attention. . .you get that from your mom!
**your love for your brother grows more and more every year. it's been fun to watch you learn to play together. . .although you have also learned how to jump on each other's last nerve this year (and mom's too) =). i hope that you two will continue to be best friends as you grow.
**i love that your love language is physical touch. i love that you need a hug even in the middle of the night when your half asleep when i come to cover you up one last time. i love that you need a hug first then a butterfly kiss, an eskimo kiss, and a regular kiss each night before bed. i love that you will always stop whatever you are doing to give me a hug. i love that you'll sit on my lap and snuggle when i need a good snuggle. i love that you save most of all of those things for your momma! let's hope it stays that way for a long time!!
**it makes us so glad that you are learning more and more about Jesus and how he rescued you so long ago. we know that you don't understand the extent of how much he loves you. . .we don't understand that either. but, our prayer for you is that your love for Him and your desire to please him continue to grow right along with you.
christian, we are so blessed by you. you make us laugh constantly, learn daily, and love lavishly. have a great day!
mom and dad

Spring Camping

A couple of weeks ago we had the chance to go camping as a family. We try to go as much as we can in the spring and summer, but it seems like our lives are always busy with one thing or another.

It was a fun time of fishing, hiking, swimming and watching movies under the stars. We would have had a fire but there was a burning ban that weekend at the campground.

One of our favorite places to go camping is Sadlers Creek at Lake Hartwell. It was a fun time with the family. Can't wait to do it again.



The sunsets were beautiful and the boys were dirty. Christian wasn't a happy camper on the trail!

We made the boys take a nap in the shade. They were up till midnight the night before. Here are two of my 3 loves!

Here is a picture of a bass that I caught and me looking Hot. (Melissa took this...she was checking me out!). The lake was cool but the boys didn't care.
