My sweet Drew and little Shepherd

Jim and I have been so blessed with such wonderful and fantastic kids that it is ridiculous! ha. Drew has such an amazing personality and even though he is hitting the 'two' year old attitude problem he is still a sweet sweet boy. The other day I asked him to do something for me like 5 times and his response was "OOoOookay MomMaaaA" Oh how I love that boy. He is a super helper with his brother (AKA BahBo) and loves to entertain the little fella also. So today he was 'entertaining' Shep and I heard high pitch noises and screeching then all of a sudden it was dead silent. I walked into the room and what did I find??? Picture below.

All tired of big brother jumping around making him giggle. Gosh another day to show how much I love my two boys!!

Cheeeeeeeeese

Few snap shots of me and my family from this past weekend. I wish I had more of Drewbee but the little guy was running to fast for me this time!

South Georgia in September

This past weekend we headed down to South Georgia to see my Papa and Nana. What a nice weekend we had with the both of them. They got to ooo and ahhh over the boys and we got to spend some good quality time with my Papa. My Papa isn't doing the best and we felt the need to go and see him hoping it will not be the last time. He is currently on dialysis and he is tired. My Papa has been such a huge stepping stone in our family for our faith. Not only is he a preacher he is such a great example to all of what being faithful to the Lord means. When the day comes and he is passed away it will be sad for us left behind but boy will heaven be having a party!! So I would like to say thanks Papa for making this road for us in our family and I love you very very much!

So my dear friend Amy came over last night and we made a cake together! I made the cake and iced it and she let her beautiful artistic talent take over! What a fun thing to do while you talk about girl stuff and laugh. I have known Amy for almost 6 years and it has been a great friendship. She has been there for my family many times and I am so grateful to have her in our lives. To Drew and Shepherd she is Aunt Mimi and Drew gets so excited when she comes to visit, too sweet. Great friendships are so hard to come by and boy did I luck out on this one. Thanks Amy for being so good to me!

boy has this happened fast!

So my little Shepherd will be 6 months tomorrow and I am amazed at how God has blessed me with such an incredible kid. He is so extremely loving and just loves to smile. Shepherd reminds me alot of Drew at that age and it is so nice to have memories come to mind with my Drewbee. Drew will be 2 and 1/2 this month and it seems as though it was yesterday that he was underneath my heart jabbing his feet into my ribs. Oh how I honestly miss those days. God is so amazing and through my children He is teaching me so much at this point in my life. Thanks be to God for all that He has done! God has shown His presence to me in my absolute darkest time and WOW what a Lord I serve. All I can say is that I have an awesome family, some really close knit friends, fabulous husband that leads me in the direction I need to be going, and some of the most incredible and loving children ever.

new way of life

So Jim and I are finally seeing and it is hitting home that this is our final fall/winter season down in the south. It is very sad to our hearts that a place that we have called home for 6 years is finally drawing to an end. Jim not only pretty much grew into an awesome man here in Mobile but this is where we met, got married, then grew our family by two wonderful kids. It saddens us that we are going to have to leave our best friend Paul and Jill and little Maggie next year but at the same time we are excited to see where God will send us next. This is going to be a great chapter and we are anxious at the same time to see what all will happen with our growing family!

new day

me and my man

Can you believe that we have approached September already? It completely blows my mind that I have a 2 1/2 year old and a soon be 6 month old! Between shots and GI visits this month I say let's get them done!! Not only am I mother to two fabulous boys, I am also a proud wife to a Coast Guard man. Our life is so hectic between the boys appointments and Jim's schedule that our schedule is pretty much unpredictable! So let's put our fast pace shoes on and see what the Lord has for us this month!
