Special 200th post!!!!

Today is March 19th and it is my 200th post and today is also my sweet little Amber's 5th birthday!!!! I haven't been blogging much but I am still here!
.
.
I wanted to share a little bit about my princess Amber. I mostly post her pretty pictures where she is posing like a beauty queen but today I want to show you a few other sides of Amber. She is very girly but she is also silly. Sometimes we just sit back and laugh at her while she puts a show on. She loves to dance and sing. And she loves to make others laugh. She has a very sensitive side to her also. If I get onto her she usually busts into tears and starts saying how sorry she is. She is quick to tell on herself. And she makes friends VERY easily. We can go to the park and within minutes she is playing with someone.
.

I love this little girl with all of my heart and I am SO glad that God has blessed me with her!
Here are a few pictures of my little Birthday girl!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBER!!
I LOVE YOU!!!

SNOW DAY!!!!

We had an AMAZING day in the snow Sunday! Nathan is finally old enough to enjoy it. We got about 3 inches at the deepest part here but my brother who lives about 15 minutes from us got about 10 inches!!! So unfair! LOL
It is all about melted and by the end of the week we are supposed to have 70* weather. Great southern weather!!!
Here are a few pictures from our snow day.

Once upon a time......

For Christmas Amber got a create a book set. One of the books is to make your own story(which we did here) and the other one can be a journal or whatever you want. We wanted to share a little bit of what we did.

Hello!

It has been a while since I posted. I have been SO busy!!! I have tried to keep a check on all of your blogs, sorry I haven't been commenting though. My mom is doing great and appreciates all of your prayers.

I wanted to share real quick some pictures that my friend Aprille took of my Amber the other day. She is so precious in these. When we are outside she will play with these sea shells that we have collected over the years. On this day, she had a rock that was her baby egg and the sea shells were her babies. She has buried them somewhere in the yard to keep them safe. I have so enjoyed watching her play and seeing her childhood innocence blossom.

Hope you all have a great Sunday!!!!!

Totally unaware she is being watched!

OH hello there!!

FULL school day!

WOW! What a day! We have had the fullest school day we have probably EVER had! George was off today so dad got to spend this fun day with us.

*It all started this morning when we got up at 7 AM and headed out to a Nature Park.
*We walked about 2 miles total while there through the woods and enjoyed the quiet.
*Then we had a pic-nic lunch.
*And to end a perfect morning we played a little soccer and frisbee.
*Then we spent time watching the raccoons rummage through the garbage getting our leftovers, the kids got the biggest kick out of this! LOL
*After that we loaded up and came home where dad took a nap, Jacob got his bookwork done and I did school with Nathan and Amber.
*When dad was done with his nap and we were all finished with school, we had fun with 2 science projects.
*By this time we were all ready for dinner so we ate, cleaned up and got our shoes back on and out the door to Jacob's soccer practice.
*Now we are all home again, the kiddos have all had baths/showers and it is a little after 8 PM.



I am T-I-R-E-D!!!!


Yes it has been a full day but it has been a good day. We enjoyed the family time and I needed the quiet! Now tomorrow I get to catch up on all my housework. Fun, fun!

Well, until next time...........

Sleepover pictures..........

I wanted to share a few pictures from the night of Jacob's party. We went skating and then all the boys came here and stayed the night. They were all really good! It went very good. If I sound suprised it is because I am!LOL Don't get me wrong, these boys are good boys but when I got all 6 of them together at one time without their parents I was a little concerned. I had no reason to be though! It was such a fun time.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Me, Jacob and George.

Happy BIrthday Jacob!!!!

Ok, this is the last post from the life of Jacob! LOL


If you are just now joining us, go and look at the first post in this series titled "BLAST from the Past" and catch up with us. Lots of pictures and fun!


First I want to post a couple of pictures of me and my Jacob. My life was forever altered the day he was born. I had such a fear that I wouldn't be able to have children and the day the doctor told me I was pregnant I thought I was dreaming! I didn't believe it until I saw the ultrasound. I know that I became a parent the day I became pregnant but on the day he was born I became a MOMMY! There is no name that I could think of that I love being called.

This first picture is a couple of days after he was born. (I wouldn't dare post any from the actual day, it was a LONG labor and TERRIBLE delivery!!! I needed a couple of days to look normal again, even though this is a rough picture of me, I have great memories from it.) I had such a feeling of love come over me in the moments right before this picture was taken. I guess that was the time I had bonded with him. We had been alone for a while and it was the most awesome thing to lay there and hold MY baby!



*****************************************************
This next picture is just a random picture that I found that is one of my favorites of us. It was a fun day, we had family over and grilled out. He was such a CUTIE!




****************************************************
These next pictures are just Jacob through the years. Some are from babyhood and some are from birthdays. Hope you enjoy my Jacob!
Sweet Baby boy!
**************************************
Looking like his uncle Gary! LOL

Before his first haircut.(For all of you who wonder if his hair was like Nathan's)
******************************************
His picture from when he was in preschool. When I quit work and pulled him out they wanted to keep him and give a scholarship because they loved him so much.
******************************************
Him and Daddy on his 3rd birthday. He LOVED this bike!
*******************************************
4th birthday,beginning of Sponge Bob phase, it is still going! LOL
************************************************
5th birthday, looking too cool!
*****************************************
6th birthday, this year we got him a basketball goal. He opened the basketball first and then we told him to go look in the garage, he was SO excited!!
**************************************************
7th birthday, such a handsome young man!
***************************************

8th birthday, Mrs. Tobey, Jacob and Mr. Lem
There is a great story to this birthday. We had the idea to raise money for missionaries instead of getting gifts and he was so excited to do this! So he picked Mr. Lem's parents who are missionaries to Africa and he raised $280.00 for them! I think he is a pretty awesome little guy! He has a heart bigger than his little body!
I can't believe that my baby is going to be 9 years old tomorrow. It has gone by too fast.
Jacob, I love you with all my heart and soul. I wish the best for you in your amazing life God has given you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOB!!!!!
WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!
