Happy Halloween!

We had such a great Halloween!!! Our day began with a little Halloween arts and crafts party. We painted spiders, made leaf collages, colored Halloween pages, made pumpkin cookies, and played forever! At night we went to Mike and Bre's for a little trick-or-treating. Jackson was OUT OF HIS BODY excited!!! He LOVED going door to door saying "trick-or-treat." I don't think he even cared about his candy. He just liked the experience. After trick-or-treating we sat in the front yard passing out candy and letting the kiddos play. What a wonderful day!!!

Painting their spiders


Concentrating so hard!


Getting his hands dirty...usually not a big fan of that but had fun with it anyway!


Emily, on the other hand, would have painted her whole body if we'd let her. She LOVED it!


Eli LOVED getting his hands painted! He was right in on the action!


I wish I could express to you how excited this kid was to go trick-or-treating. He was freaking out in the car on the way to Gavin's. So funny!!!


Mmmmm...the kids enjoying some yummy pizza before filling their bellies with candy.


Had to have one pic of Jack by himself all dressed up.

The Airforce Pilot and Army Soldier holding hands ready for action...I mean, trick-or-treating. They look so fierce:)


Gavin the Pilot, Jack the soldier, and Jobe the dinosaur


I wish I could express to you how over these kids were of getting their picture taken at this moment. But isn't it precious?!


The two monkeys: Sam and Eli. I could just eat them up!


Trick-or-treating


Not sure about this...maybe it's the candy's doing...


Where'd the candy go??? It actually went into Jack & Tatum's buckets. They stole all the candy we had for tric-or-treaters.


The ladies: Amanda, Heather, Bre, and Me


The tired parents

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

Tuesday Toddler Tales~A Mother's Worst Nightmare

I lost Jack. Don't worry, he has been found but for the longest I'd say 8 minutes of my life he was gone. I was at the mall with two girlfriends and their kiddos. We were all having lunch at the food court when I stepped away to get some ketchup. Jack stayed behind with his friends. I was gone for maybe a minute and a half or so. When I came back he was gone. His chair was pushed in and empty. I began to panic. One friend stayed behind with all the other kids while my other friend and I darted off in oposite directions. Others began to notice our panic and jumped in the search with us. I saw nothing in my direction, not even shoppers. I turned around and started the other way. I got to the carousel where I thought he'd be and he wasn't. At this point it took everything in my power not to faint. I felt like everything around me was spinning. I was so overwhelmed with where to look. I just kept running, frantically asking people if they saw a little blond-haired boy with ...

Notoriety

Teenage Mother A donkey owner Simon of Cyrene Who are these people? I am sure you can figure out the first one: Mary the mother of Jesus. Who are the others and what do all three of these people have in common? They all did extraordinary things but, for the most part, went unseen. Do you ever feel unseen? Undervalued? I do. I try not to get caught up in that space, but I find myself there too often. While Mary is infamous today, she wasn't when she brought the King into this world. She was a teenager who gave birth in a barn. She was an outcast who was pregnant but not married. She told of an unbelievable story involving an angel, a Spirit, and a Savior who was going to save the world. Could you even imagine? It's easy for us to be in awe of Mary. We know the whole story. She didn't. And neither did the people around her. She had to live it. To top it all off, she had to watch her beloved son die a gruesome death. Talk about feeling unseen and undervalued. She faithfu...
