So I have a few blogs that I follow regularly. Brian would say I am stalking these people. I am really not. It is just interesting to read people's blogs and hear what is going on in their lives. Most of the blogs I read I will never meet these women. They live all over the country but we share some things in common. Trying to raise kids who love Jesus and trying to be the person God wants us to be. It is funny how God can use these people from who knows where to speak to me.
Paraphrased version of Philipians 4-7
Come to me with a thankful heart, so that you can enjoy my presence. This is the day that I have made. I want you to rejoice today, refusing to worry about tomorrow. Search for all that I have prepared for you, anticipating abundant blessings and accepting difficulties as they come. I can weave miracles into the most mundane day if you keep your focus on me. Come to me with all your needs, knowing that my glorious riches are a more than adequate supply. Stay in continual communication with me, so that you can live above your circumstances even while you are in the midst of them. Present your requests to me with thanksgiving, and my peace, which surpasses all comprehension will guard your hearts and mind.
This past week dealing with the smallest thing (it felt huge to me). This verse was my constant reminder not to worry. It was amazing how I felt peace that was WAY beyond me.
I love my kids and here is a random picture of Blake. Aly seems too grown up these days to make silly faces. Not exactly but Blake would rather make weird faces than be normal.
This picture looks like Jordyn is taking out Makaylee's eye. Ouch, I don't think that really happened. Both these little girls are so cute and petite! Their bdays are really close like a week or 2 apart.
I think she liked the cake! Too cute. Messy face and chair
I just wanted to mix it up and show you Aly finally losing her first tooth. We were soo excited. I thought the dentist was going to have to pull it. Now she has lost 2 teeth! Wahoo
Aly absolutely loves the bars. She has open wounds on her hands currently. She wants me to get a band aid to stay on her hands so that she can continue to play on the bars at school? Crazy girl. Those are really painful too. ( Aunt Emily, Aunt Jen and Esmeralda are in the background)
The pit. Blake's favorite part!
Eating cupcakes
Her friends and her all in the pit!
It was a great idea to have the party at the gymnastics's gym. Very little planning was needed. All the kids loved it!
Blake is starting t-ball soon and he is loving it. The weather has not been great for playing outside. I can't wait till the RAIN stops for a while!!
We had green potatoes for St. Patrick's day. The kids liked the whole color thing. I tried to tell Aly all about getting induced with her and how I didn't want her born on St. Patrick's day. She didn't want to hear it. But thankfully she was born at 1:20am on March 18th! Pictures to come soon of her very fun gymnastics party! It was a great party! 
The best friends! Why God allowed us to all move away from each other is still a mystery. But wow do we appreciate them now more than ever. 
The big kids.
We all enjoyed the trampoline. But the kids were out there frequently. Well, all the kids but Blake who only wanted to jump by himself. He is kind of a runt compared to the rest of the bunch. But he is a one jumper trampoline kind of guy.
