Growing up...

You know she is growing up when she can change a baby's diaper. She even got the front of the diaper in the front. My grandbaby is one smart cookie. She is only 15 months old and still a baby herself, but don't tell her...she thinks she is just as big as the big kids.
She also has tattoos on her foot ...thanks to her Uncle Jason. He tattooed her foot and she is so proud of it. She has showed it to me atleast a dozen times or more...lol

She can even put on heels & walk in them with no help at all.

This girl LOVES shoes.

She's not the only little peanut that's growing up to fast...

Little Z is getting big too.

He is 17.3 Pounds now and

growing by the minute.

Kids just grow up way to fast these days.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he will direct thy paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6

A Perfect Day For A Picnic...

My perfect centerpiece...hand picked just for me by Jacob. He even picked the vase to match. He always brings me flowers and it ALWAYS melts my heart :) I love my boy.

Today was a perfect day for a picnic with the Sweet Peas.

I hope you are enjoying your day too:)

Happy Easter!

I hope you have all had a wonderful Easter. We've had a good one. It was a little sad not having my Nanny here with us this year,but other than that it was good.

We started our Easter with a good Sunday morning service at our church. After church, we went to my Mom's for dinner. I always love going home on the Holidays. I *almost* had all of my kids together ,but Katie went to Barrett's for a dinner.  I missed my Katie Bug ,but I loved having the rest of my bunch together. It's hard to get us all together.

I hope you have had a wonderful Easter.  I also hope that you got to spend it with the ones that mean the most. But above that, I hope that you remembered the true meaning of Easter and what Jesus has done for you & I. What a love He must have for us.

God bless you friend,

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he will direct thy paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6

The Jelly Bean Poem

Red is for the blood He gave

Green is for the grass He made

Yellow is for the sun so bright

Orange is for the edge of night

Black is for the sin we made

White is for the grace He gave

Purple is for the hour of sorrow

Pink is for a new tomorrow

*~**~*

A bag of jelly beans

colorful and sweet;

it's a prayer, it's a promise,

it's an Easter treat!

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he will direct thy paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6

One Tiny TuTu

Little girls are just so adorable in TuTus. I remember when we found out that Brookelyn was going to be a girl. I was so happy! I had pictured how much fun we were going to have with this little girl and you just have to know that a TuTu would be involved in there somewhere. TuTus are just so girly. I just knew our girl would have to have one of her own.

It's perfect for our baby.

Her TuTu came from Trinity's TuTus  and I couldn't be any happier with it. It is bright & beautiful just like her personality. 

One Tiny TuTu & One Tiny Girl...

just happy together.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he will direct thy paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6

Last weekend...

I am so behind on here:)

So I'm adding weekend pics today.

We had a GREAT weekend...

a busy one ,but a great one:)

~~~~~~

Can you guess

what we did

last weekend ?!?
It's orange,
and green,
and blue,
and yellow,
and pink...let's
not forget pink.
If it was up to Bailey
they would all be
PINK.
Matter of fact everything we
own would be pink
if Bailey could choose...lol

Here's another hint...

Yep, we colored eggs

with the punkins!

And we colored two pink...

just for Bailey.

Jelly Bean just wanted to play with them.

Cupcakes are fun...

and messy.

She cracks me up dragging her pedisure

around the house. She won't let anyone touch them.

She has to drink these at least

three times a day to keep her weight

up and to add calories to her diet ,because

she doesn't absorb fat like we do.

She like Oreos too...lol

~~~~~~~~~

A peep at Z's

seven

month photos.

He is so chubby and cuddly at 7 months.

Oh how I love this little boy.

It really was a great weekend,

but it passed to fast.

My World...

My REAL world...Do you ever wonder what other people's lives "really" look like???
Well, here is just a small peep into my day.

Bless her heart, she really fell asleep by my desk,but MeMe didn't leave her there.

Yes, this is what my sink looked like this morning. It's not that I don't wash dishes. I wash constantly. It's just that my poor dishwasher just can't keep up, so often I end up washing half our daily dishes by hand. If you want to see a clean sink please visit between the hours of 7 PM and 6 AM any other time you will just have to excuse my mess...really.

What's new in our HOMEschool????

We started working on cursive writing this week.  Jacob is really trying hard to get it.

Uh Oh!!!!!! Need I say more???? LOL

The messy playroom. No it's not always messy. It was actually clean when we went to bed lastnight. We will be working on this room over the next few weeks. So new pics and maybe a cleaner room coming soon...maybe...lol

Yes our Snicker Doodle "Brookelyn" is a dare devil too. You can't take your eye off of her for one minute because this kid can climb.

Have you tried this???? It's a neat snack for toddlers and they LOVE it. It's also a full serving of fruit.

A Peep Into Our Family Room...

Bailey meets "Baby A". I think they are going to love each other. Bailey is a loving a child and always has been.

Sweet Baby Z....

Don't you just love baby fingers and toes. Really, is there anything sweeter????

I think everybody dig's this little boy.

Z is crawling, drooling, rolling, smiling, and eating like a little piggy. He loves splashing in the tub. He loves riding in the car and going in the stroller. Come to think of it, I haven't found anything he doesn't like. He is a go with the flow kind of kid and he loves to be loved on and I love that.

Jacob is one rough and tough boy ,but yet can be so gentle with the babies. He has a heart for our fosters. The other day I heard him telling Z that he wished he was his baby brother. Is that precious or what? He loves little babies just like his dad & I.

Our little cowgirl is here for the weekend. She was wearing Jon's hat and sporting a barbecue smile...we had wings for dinner. In this pic you can tell she is leaving the baby days behind and turning into a BIG girl.

She and I took a walk to the mailbox and along the way she picked some flowers.

and some weeds:)

We even spotted some Lady Slippers. We let them be. But,aren't they some odd looking flowers?

Mr Bubble, oh how we LOVE you!!!!

After the walk, it was time for bubbles!!! As in BUBBLE BATH!!!! Bay loves her bubbles. My favorite kind are Mr Bubble. They make me think of being a child and taking bubble baths at nanny's house. She always kept us bubbles. Isn't it funny how a certain smell can take you back to another place in time?

I saved the best pic for last. Why is this one so special? Because it's hubby holding foster baby "A". She is very scared of men ,but today she reached for Brent and let him hold her. He held her and she didn't even scream. It's was a special moment for sure.

Have a blessed night friends:)

A good quote I borrowed from my friend Patrish-

 "God Blessed each one with the ability to adapt to anything life may throw your way ~ God Blessed us with the power of Self Respect which gives you what you need to learn from life lessons, those who do become wiser than those who choose to wallow in "Oh Why Me".
