Three in the bed and the little one said...

roll over...roll over...
Glory, Providence and Josiah all piled in the bed this morning...well Providence was already there but you know what I mean...we snuggled and laughed and tool some pictures. I love being a mommy! God is so good. I am so thankful to Joseph, my husband who not only sees the value of my being at home with the children but also desires it as well. He is a great blessing to me!

T-Ball


Josiah played T-ball this summer. Truth be told...he did not love it. I thought it was fun. The little kids are so funny! He had this funny little run that he would use from base to base...we asked him during the season why he ran that way and he let us know it was the best way to kick up the most dirt! All and all it was a good experience. He made some new friends. His coach was super nice and it was fun to cheer for him...the jury is still out on next year.

My Little Tie Dyed Kids


This year for Josiah's 5th birthday we had an Art party it was tons of fun and a little bit of chaos too! We decorated or own cupcakes, made sand art, did some watercolor resist paintings and tie dyed t-shirts. Though his birthday is at the beginning of April. I took the photo sometime in June before Father's day. We make Joseph a father's day T-shirt with the kids picture on it. This is this years picture.

Swimming with the Risley Family



On our recent trip to the Saint Louis area we visited with Joseph's sister and her family. We had a great time one day at the beach in their area. Josiah thought is was cool to be able to go on the dock. They played little mermaid and he, being the only boy did not want to be a mermaid...so he was a "fat little fish". Glory loved the sand and I am pretty sure we took half the beach home with us when we left. It was a tons of fun. Thanks Risley's for your hospitality.

Providence



I cannot get the other photo of all three of the children to upload. Here is a recent picture of our sweet little Providence. She is 4 months old. This photo was taken at our house on June 30...so it is pretty recent. I love her sweet smile. She, like Glory smiles with her whole face.
