Record Breaking

What a weekend! Fall is amazing. The colors are changing and are loving the cool crisp breeze. We had a great time washing "Old Blue" for the fifth time in two weeks, mowing the yard, napping, and if you know me, I've started packing for our trip to Walt Disney World (two weeks away).




This week has truly been record breaking for us and our blog! I think that I've entered nearly half of our total entries just this week. We are beginning to have a lot of fun with it and anticipate many changes to come. It will soon have a total makeover with a new purpose and hope. I can't wait to see what God has in store, but until then we hope that you continue to enjoy the updates and growing children.






Hugs and kisses,
Jo

Happy Birthday Mama J

Only a mother of three could understand a birthday wish coming so late as 9:30 at night. Our day was packed with a A running a fever of 102, J taking more potty breaks that I can speak of, and B rolling into every piece of furniture possible. None the less, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA J! We love you and are so blessed by your life in ours. Thank you for all that you are. We look forward to tucking into your priceless hugs and enjoying your beautiful smile...sooner rather than later. Have great day and be blessed!

Thursdays with Grandma

We are now one step closer to getting a puppy! About a year ago, God just about came down from Heaven and told me face to face "DON'T GET A PUPPY...YET!" He told me to wait until all of our children were birthed and potty trained. Well it looks like we are one step closer this week. J has decided to potty train herself! She is doing great! A is wonderful support and help throughout this process, knowing that a dog is on the other side. However, they both don't realize that this deal includes B as well. And as for him making it to the potty in time...well, lets just say that he rolled over this week :-)


What a blessing this wonderful woman is in our lives! Mom and I are taking advantage of Win Win Thursdays. While Grandma comes over to visit us on Thursday mornings, mom is able to paint, rest, relax and just have some 'me' time. The girls love to have her over to play in the basement...most of the time having tea parties or playing doctor. She is a great help to me, as I can get some things done around the house without the girls at my feet. Again, what an incredible blessing 95 1/2 years can bring!





Finally, JE wanted me to share this with you guys...MY new car!He is so gitty and so thankful to the Lord to provide for us a second vehicle, for the first time in 6 1/2 years. I can't believe that I'm driving my daughter to soccer in a suburban, everything I thought I'd never be, but so glad that I am!

Weekend with Dad

So, it's pretty easy to entertain them when you fill 'em full of sugar and run around the hills! Then they crash. Jo went to a women's retreat in Steamboat Springs and took B with her. So dad and the daughters enjoyed some time together playing soccer, going for ice cream, camping, fishing, rock throwing, riding bikes, driving barbie jeeps, watching movies, getting coffee....and hot chocolate, eating cinnamon rolls, shopping, watching Tech lose :(, going for ice cream (to mourn), attending church, shopping, and yes.....going for ice cream. Hard to believe that I actually managed to wash some dishes, some clothes, vaccum, bathe them both, fix 6 meals, water the plants, read 9 books to them, clean my truck, and update the blog! All this PALES in comparison to what my wife does every day!!! And believe me, there are rose petals and ground kissing at her feet upon her return!

I'd do it all again!

Love to all. Jim
