The Fish Tank

One of the most special things we get to do with our boys is dedicate them to the Lord. Scott and I truly believe that God has blessed us with the tremendous honor and responsibility of raising His children. We know we cannot raise these boys alone. We need our family, friends, pastors, and, most importantly, Him. Our Pastor, whom we love dearly, was able to dedicate both Grady and Wyatt. Wyatt was actually in my belly when we dedicated Grady ironically. The boys were amazing on stage and Wyatt got very still when Pastor John prayed over him. What a comfort in knowing the Lord is walking this journey of parenthood right alongside us. We are blessed beyond measure!

Grady-Dosers, Wow! You have turned into one big boy in an instant! You are walking, talking, and running your way through life! You have the biggest hands and feet I have ever seen on a toddler. Every moment with you is an adventure and we are sure to have a good laugh! You are one funny kid roaming the house looking for something to get into. You LOVE to climb on anything and everything, especially counters. Jackson is your best friend. You do everything he does and chase him around all day long. You do not call your brothers by their names, rather, Jackson is "Bubba" and Wyatt is "Baby." Daddy is a rock star to you and you still love to snuggle with me. You say a new word everyday it seems and are beginning to talk in sentences. We love you so much Grady! You make us laugh, smile, and remind us to take life by the horns and enjoy every single second!!! All Our Love Through Eternity, Daddy, Mommy, Bubba, and Baby

Dear Wy Guy, I know it is January and you turned 5 months in October, but Mommy is having to play catch up. You and your brothers keep me quite busy. You have become one smiley little guy! You are the sweetest little thing enjoying every second of life! You are happy-go-lucky and easy going. You love your brothers; especially watching all their crazy antics. You love rice cereal and are getting the hang of solid foods. You are trying to roll over but not quite there yet. You experienced your first Halloween this month as Yoda and you slept right through it. That's okay with mommy and daddy, though. We know we'll be chasing you next year! We couldn't imagine our lives without you! Wyatt, you bring us so much joy it's incredible! Until next month...

One of the most precious things about being a mom, a mom of boys in particular, is watching the bond between them grow!I love hearing the giggles between these three little guys. I am looking forward to watching them continue to grow in their relationship with one another. I am beyond blessed! They bring me so much joy! I love how happy they are! I love this picture! I flash forward to their teen years when they are doing something crazy and laughing their behinds off! Don't worry Wyatt, you'll be crazy in that tractor soon enough!

We found it! We found Jackson's niche. My nephew, Joshua, has been in Tae Kwon Do for a while now and my sister raves about it. Last time they were here she told me I should get Jack in it. I took him to a trial class and was hooked...and so was he! Jackson is INCREDIBLE! He is so focused and determined. There is a wonderful home, school, Martial Arts connection that helps Jack with confidence and discipline working towards attaining a goal. Recently, Jack tested for his yellow belt. The kid worked so hard for this belt in all capacities of his life! We are so proud of him and excited to see where this takes him! He did good towards the end enjoying the game and kicking the ball. He'd take some breaks We were WAY too hot and sweaty for soccer anyway!

Dear Wyatt, Precious little monkey. Mommy must apologize. What they say about the third child is true...You are not forgotten, life just get busy, time passes, and mommy has to write your 3 and 4 month letter when you are already 5 months old! You are incredible. Three months came around and WOW, what a difference! You are such a smiley little fella! You are easily soothed and love your big brothers; especially Jackson! He can make you smile and laugh in any situation! You are sleeping well sleeping through the night by 4 months. We moved you to your crib, sniff sniff, at four months. You love your crib and room putting yourself to sleep most nights! At about four and a half months we started you on rice cereal. You'd think you always ate solids the way you took to it. You are a "go-with-the-flow" kid smiling, laughing, and just being happy no matter where you are or where we take you. Mommy, Daddy, Jackson, and Grady love you more than words! We could NOT imagine life wi...
