innocence from a 5 year old

"I love God with all my sweet little heart."

"Momma don't be afraid God is right beside you"

"Momma I love God first then you and Dad second."

Cullen said, "I love this song."
I said, "I do too, it is about God."
Cullen said, "I love God, He is the best Dad, He is not my earth Dad he is my heaven Dad."

my girl...

I love my ten year old girl! You never know who will be her audience!

who's the best babysitter.....

Emily! She even plays dress up! 

Ava's first babysitting job

Ava was so excited when Mrs. Allyson Lee asked her to keep Baby Brooks for a few hours. Ava did the best job. I am so proud of her. Cullen and Ethan loved having a baby here at the house. Brooks was very much entertained!

a brothers love

Today Cullen had to get his 5 year old shots. Ethan asked if he could hold his hand. 

I love having two boys that love each other so much.

CHRISTMAS 2013

Merry Christmas 2014

Wow! Another year as gone by. This year Ava is in 4th grade, Ethan 2nd and Cullen turned 5. We had a great celebration with all our families. Lots of laughs and playing. We got a Charlie Brown tree since we just returned from Hawaii.  I did not put up all my decorations but it was just fine. We were not in a hussle or bussle of Christmas. We were able to enjoy our holiday. It was so good to be with family. I missed them when we were in Hawaii.

We went to VA this year to see Papa and Nana. It was a fun day for everyone to catch up and for the kids to play. It was a wonderful Christmas.
