He did it...he went and grew up on me way too fast. My little man started kindergarten this week! I can't believe it! He has been SO excited for this and couldn't wait to start. He said he had an awesome first day and he loves his teacher.

Multitude Monday: Sounds

I've been sitting back and really listening to the everyday sounds that bring me so much joy, thanking God for all the gifts.

70. listening to all the laughter and "boy sounds" coming from my sons and their daddy playing in one of the boys bedroom

71. hearing the world wake up on an early morning run

72. the silence of an early morning run

73. the constant chatter of my oldest son as i run and he rides his bike. I cherish this time with him because one day very soon, he will be in school

74. Cheering

75. the sound of my phone ringing around 6pm

76. even though my sound is off, the sound of a text message around 7am letting me know I have the best sister in the whole world

77. the sleepy "morning mommy" i get every morning from my 4 yr old

78. pure joy

79. the sound of my 1 yr old blowing kisses

80. Laughter

Move Over Winter

Spring is here! We've had such a fun time being able to finally play outside!

Washing Mommy's car

Think he liked the bubbles?

I LOVE this picture!

Such fun!

Big brother teaching little brother how to drink from the sprinkler...

I wonder if it's as good as drinking bath water?

Sumo anyone?

February flew by for us!
We had a nasty stomach bug make its way around our little family
ear infections
a very happy valentines day
have been enjoying this awesome weather outside!

We had a swarm of bees set up shop right outside our bedroom window, which is right by our front door. Thankfully I have a brave husband who got rid of them for us!

A sweet moment with daddy. Grant has finally found a love of books! (ignore all the spaghetti on his face)

We are in full blown soccer season again! Hunter LOVES playing soccer and we have a fun team this year with a great coach and awesome assistant coaches (aka Daddy)
