Today is Kyle's 32nd birthday!
It's been a great day. We had friends over to grill out tonight and enjoyed eating, talking, and laughing. The boys and I got him a tent, so we revealed it tonight also. Although, Jacob told him last night what we had gotten. He still did a very good- emmy-award winning performance of acting surprised.
I'm so blessed to have him as a husband. Even though he's so very old, I still love him!
Happy Birthday Kyle!

So, last night we were talking to Lucas about obedience and explained to him that God gave him a Mom and Dad to take care of him, teach him, and keep him safe.
I said "Wouldn't it be sad if you didn't have a mom and dad. What would you do?" I was waiting for the response that would melt a mom's heart. The moment when I could look at my oldest son and say "I've done well raising him" When his answer would stir emotions in me like never before.
Here's what I got.
Lucas said, "Yeah, like there wouldn't be anyone to blow up my floatie when I wanted to swim."
There you have it. Life without parents through the eyes of a 5 year old.

Lucas just informed us that one night God told him he was supposed to be a policeman when he grows up.
Me: How do you know it was God?
Lucas: Because it sounded like Him.
Me: hmmm. What did it sound like?
Lucas: You know, like "aaaaahhhhhh" (in a very ghostly Godly sounding way)
Me: What exactly did He say?
Lucas: I told him I wanted to be an underground man (a miner) when I grew up and He showed me a picture in my head of me being a policeman. So, I just knew.
So here I am documenting my 5 year old's revelation.
To be continued.....
in approximately 15 years.

Since our camera is broken, I took Kyle's mom's and downloaded them on our computer. They're not the best, but here are a few pictures from this month.
Ellie swinging at MiMi's house.
The boys washing Daddy's car a few weeks ago.
Lucas performing for us in PawPaw's office.
The boys washing their jeeps at MiMi and PawPaw's house.

The weather here has been absolutely crazy. It was freezing a couple of weeks ago, last week, was above 80 and today is suddenly cold and VERY windy. My kids are all confused.
We tood advantage of the weather last week, though, and stayed outside as much as possible. Here are some pictures of our outdoor adventures!
Lucas getting ready for baseball season.
Noah's job.....chasing the ball
Jacob...who knows what he's doing, but he's not destroying anything, so I'm happy.
Ellie, who has to be strapped in her high chair to avoid any mishaps!

Last night, Kyle's gracious parents kept all 4 of our kids and let them spend the night. Kyle and I had the 1st 10 hour stretch of sleep that we can remember in quite some time. It was absolutely glorious! We woke up this morning to a quiet house. A rather strange occurrence around here.
We went to get the kiddos after lunch and stayed to wash Kyle's car (that way we run up his parents water bill!). The boys washed their power wheels jeep and Ellie watched it all from the shady spot in her stroller. We left there and took the kids to the park. Kyle and I sat and watched the boys play and talked about how great our life is.
After coming home we ate dinner, made cookies, and got the kids in bed an hour earlier than usual (due to the time change tonight. ugh!)
It's been a perfect day. Couldn't ask for better.
(no pictures today. our camera broke again! thinking we're telling canon to send us a new one instead of repairing this one for the 2nd time!)
