Blessings.....

Dinner with my parents is a blessing....

Bones helping me unload the dishwasher is a blessing (even though he did drop a ceramic plate on my foot and bruised my baby toe).....

Millie Grace coloring us LOTS AND LOTS of pictures is a blessing....

J and my dad in law putting railing on our front porch is a blessing....

J and my dad in law rewiring our well pump so we could have water is a blessing....

There are so many things that happen on a daily basis that are true blessings that I just don't take the time to be grateful and thankful for. As a mommy I get very wrapped up in toys being picked up and floors being cleaned and and laundry being done, to recognize most of these blessings until they have gone well past. J is always telling me I need to slow down and take my time. I am beginning to see that he is right, so from now on when the playroom is a mess and the laundry needs to be folded, I will be found enjoying my blessings, smelling the roses, taking time to enjoy the little things, because when it comes right down to it, the little things are the most important things.

Big Daddy Bones

Meet "J", he is the best husband and daddy hands down. He is a strong man, who works hard for his family. He is passionate about God, his family and his friends. Most of the time he can be found spending time with Gracie and Bones. He enjoys hunting, fishing and anything outdoors. He has a voice that can bring calm in any situation, and a personality that makes you know you are safe and protected. His passionate heart, his deep love and commitment to his family never cease to amaze me. I stand in awe at the awesome husband that GOD has blessed me with, he is my best friend, the Daddy of our children, my confidant, and my biggest fan. He sees in me a better person than I would ever see in myself, he is the beat of my heart!

Sweet Momma Bones

I am a true believer in God's Perfect Grace, His Unyeilding Mercy, His Neverending Peace, and His Most Compassionate Love for His children. I am a Mommy, Wife, Homeschool Teacher, Cake Baker, Business Owner, and Child of the Most High God. I love my husband to the very depths of my heart, he is my very best friend. I love my children "high as the sky to the moon and back". My children are truly blessings sent from God in Heaven. I love God and my family and the absolute fact of knowing that they love me in spite of myself, makes me certain that I am cherished....and truly BLESSED!

Gracie

This is our daughter, AG. She goes by Sweet Pea most of the time, a name given to her by her Daddy the moment she was born. She has her Daddy's chocolate brown eyes and his daring personality. She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, loving and helpful, and persisitent and strong willed just like her Mommy. She is a quick learner, and sometimes just too smart for her own good. She loves learning new things, her current aspirations are sewing, cursive writing and sign language. Her smile will brighten any day and most of the time when she says, "Mommy" or "Daddy" it is simply followed by the words, "I Love You". She is one beat of our heart!

Bones

This is our son, Baby L. He will always be Baby L even when he is towering over most of us at a predicted 6 ft. 5 in. tall. He has his Daddy's eyelashes and his dimple, and a smile that will simply melt your heart. He is our cuddle bunny, and loves to give hugs and kisses. He has his Mommy's independent spirit and his own way of doing things. He loves to watch Scooby Doo and he's a pirate at heart. He loves all things boy, hot wheels cars, rocks, and leaves. He is a handsome young man, who dares to wear a "mohawk" on most days, I can only pray he grows up to be the kind of man his Daddy is. He is our son, and if you know our story, you will understand when I say, "He was well worth the wait". He is the other beat of our heart!
