4 years

today my baby turns 4. how is it possible that one day you're holding your sweet new squishy baby and the next day your FOUR year old is telling you that you're "going down to china town, mama"...

moses is proof that God has a sense of humor cause this little boy is created in His image. he had a grumpy start in this world but he has found his joy and knows how to share with others.

 

if none of these pictures made you smile (or maybe even laugh) then you need help :)

Moses, you will always and forever be MY baby moses, mosey, mojo potato, bubba, baby brudder and MY baby boy. i thank God for you everyday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOSES!!

up, up and away!!

i am lucky enough to have a brother that flies cute little airplanes. after about a year of nagging we finally got a chance to go for a ride with him. this was boy solomon & moses' first times EVER flying!!

solly (hold his flat stanley) & mojo

excited & ready to fly!!

mama & mojo ready for takeoff

uncle andy & solly waiting our turn for takeoff

out house is right about dead center in this picture!

deep lake!!

while i was sweating and ready to hurl moses was just chillin out (while yodeling & singing twinkle twinkle christmas star...what a weirdo!)

turns out (despite the smile) solly was feeling green as well

through the tad bit of motion sickness (no one actually hurled) we had a GREAT time!! we got to fly over our house, solly's school/friends house, grammy's house and our whole town!!

THANK YOU uncle andy for the best day of summer vacation so far!!!

praise is all i have today!!!

something that i have been praying for for five long years finally happened today!! it is amazing to see Gods faithfulness in these 5 years and his plan for my friends.

my heart is overflowing with love for my Savior & my friends today!

goofy guys

i love these boys.

drive-by's

here is a selection of today's drive-by photos. enjoy

today was a bitter sweet day for us. it was jakes last day working for swerve. so i followed him while he dropped off his car and brought him home. this car-in our house is known as the "daddy car" cause that's what it's been for almost 3 years. we're excited and ready for jake to start his new job (with full time hours and benefits!!) but this is what we've known for 3 years so while it's an exciting time it's also a tiny bit scary.

so, here's to swervemobile #22

you were a good 'daddy car' and we will miss you!

jakes b-day

jake's birthday was this past week and since i knew his dad was getting him the only thing he really wanted (a baseball mitt) i decided that his "office" needed a makeover. he just moved into this room and it was looking a bit "bachelor pad-ish" so i fixed that for him. so on saturday while he was working all day the boys and i gave it a little face lift.

before:

after:

no that big of a difference (although, it would be if i showed all the pictures) but he likes it. now if i could just get him to move the rest of his books in there we'd both be happy

after his long day at work we met up with him and his parents and had a good ol family dinner (at the most crowded red robin on the planet) but we had a good time!!!

happy birthday to my hunky hubby!! i love you.

family fun (in the sun)

last week (while the weather was still lovely) moses had his all school picnic up at mud mt. dam. we busted solly out of school and made a family event out of it (plus lucy) it was a pretty fun time!

solomon about to show dad how it's done:

lucy just trying to avoid the sun:

the whole crew:

(minus me. the rest of them are in there somewhere)

solly and lucy (with her cabbage patch face!)

mojo and lu:

we skipped out early (before the hot dogs) and went out for a nice family lunch. it was a good day. i'm hoping for more days like this over the summer
