Wonderland

Captured Preston staring out into the snow globe this morning.

It keeps snowing, and snowing, and snowing!

#37

Over three years ago now Chad started Tysobri.
I thought Id start posting pictures of some of what he has to go through faithfully every month. I never hear him complain. He amazes me, he goes through so much and most people would have no idea, but that's where I come in... I must be sure he doesn't over do things and gets his rest or our world could go crashing down in a blink of an eye. I'm so thankful the Lord has allowed Chad to be on this drug thus far. I pray it continues until healing or a cure.

Getting closer!

So close to getting our lil project, that turned into a bigger project finished.
Chad has done almost everything on his own and I'm a very proud wife!
Now what's left,
Sanding.
Spraying.
Painting.
Then the rest of the floor!

tricky boy

He is getting better at this each week.

I have no idea why, but he does this nearly everyday.

I think he's build just for this sorta stuff.

Yep.

They missed her!

School time buddies~

Kira usually has her pillow pet next to her during school time.

She likes to pretend the pet is the student and she is teacher.

She even grades her work. ;)

Yep, that's right!

I Shelby, the girl that has never enjoyed baking anything, yep, actually attempted to make sour dough bread from scratch....
Best part??
It was edible!
Even better part??
It tasted good!!!
Yay!!!!!

Monster Jam~

I wasn't sure how much fun Preston was having.

It was so loud. We quit talking because it was pointless!

We got back to the Jeep and Preston stopped and asked,

"Mama, can we come back next time?"

I got my answer!

my helper

If I tell this lil girl it's cleaning day, I'd better be serious!

She is so helpful. She got up today, got dressed, made her bed, and picked up

before I even saw her this morning!

Then she dusted for me, helped vacuum and picked up.

Wow, thanks my lil helper, not sure what I'd do without you!

I love to read!

Kira's thoughts on reading:

Mama, I love to read. It's fun.

God has us learn how to read so we can read the bible.

That's why people learn to read, so then they can read the bible all the time.

Kira, you're so right. My prayers have so far been answered.

I want my children to enjoy reading,

but most of all I want them to love God, and you're doing both very well so far!

Happy Valentines Day!

Making Valentines~

These sorts of things get more and more fun each year! We prepared nearly 90 cards

 and we enjoyed every minute of it!

Just had to share the three profiles of my three babies!

All remind me of their daddy. ;)

Can't wait to meet her. Judging by another ultrasound picture we have of her,

I think she'll have Preston's eyes!!!

Baby girl~

What a great day!

We found out the best news...

everything looks right on track and healthy!

Even though both the kids wanted a brother,

I think she'll quickly change their minds!

She was a busy lil thing. The tech couldn't believe it and said it many times.

Daddy knew right when she said that, it was a girl!

Mama is hoping she burns all that energy before being born!

It was such a joy getting to see so many body parts and get to know her just a bit more.

I was so excited I got a cute side profile of her, just like I did with the other two kids...

this means a lot to me, because something about that upper lip and turned up nose looks

so much like daddy... now in all three of my babies.

I couldn't be more filled with joy today!

Mint tea and Cherry pie~

Part of a school project for today.

We all got to join in on the yummy part!

This helped bring the tough story she's reading more to life.

dear coffee~

What would I do without you?

I'm highly addicted to you without much guilt.

Though I must confess...

you probably wouldn't be in my life if it wasn't for the cream I add to you.

{Just sayin...} 

but thanks for everything you do for me on a daily bases!

Today I'm so grateful.

Last night a couple friends of ours stopped by and brought a bunch of baby things we will soon need.

I knew it would all work out. Yet God still has a way about Him that wows me even more.

Not only did I get the items I've been thinking about in my head lately, it's the same style of stuff I've been gooing over! Woodland friend stuff! And it looks brand new, like we just took it out of a target box or something! Thank you dear friends SO much!

And thank you Lord for once again giving me that little message of

"I Love You"

daddy's helper

 She got so excited to help daddy

this morning on her break.

I wondered why,

but didn't realize the cuteness till going down there.

Paper in hand writing all the numbers daddy needed for his cuts, talking about inches and such
sure came in handy learning that in math just this last week!

But the cutest sight was yet to be discovered.

The pencil behind her ear just like daddy.

Kira has now mastered saying the 27 books of the New Testament in order!

She's so excited. She has nearly completed her Awana book.

We.Love.Awana!!!
