Morning Love

These have been among some of the CRAZIEST mornings of my life. YUP... I said it. My feet hit the floor running at about 6:45am and do not stop until around 11:30pm when little pixie decides to give up and finally sleep (but only for a couple of hours). This season of my life right now is ABSOLUTELY AND BEAUTIFULLY INSANE. I wouldn't trade them for anything, but they are definitely full speed ahead.

I managed to snap a few pictures with my messed up camera and load them onto my slow booty computer and I don't think I even burned lunch in the process. Please enjoy because it very well may be months before I get back here. Did I mention that Isabella and Justus are out playing with the hose and it is only about 60 degrees outside? No, really, they are.
Love,
A mama still surrounded by the most beautiful people in all of the land.

I have proof

My oldest son is going to make a fabulous daddy. He is changing a 2 month old's diaper...VOLUNTARILY! Gotta love it. He is a phenomenal son and big brother of many many little ones. Thank you, sweetie for making my life a little brighter each day.

Welcome baby Jasmine

We are so tickled to announce the arrival of Jasmine Marianna. She was born on the 17th of January and weighed 7lbs. 11ozs. She was born in our new home, but in the same tub as all of her 3 sisters. We are all completely and totally in love with her already and look forward spending lots and lots of time snuggling her.

My little helpers

Mama: Chey, can you please feed the dog?

(Mama wanders off to gather up dirty laundry.)

(Mama enters laundry room.)

Mama: Chey! What are you doing?

Chey: I give Franklin very much. (Said with a big smile)

Ahhhh....love my mama's helpers.

Happy 4th Isabella

We were so happy to celebrate Izzie's 4th birthday at the end of October with a sweet tea party. What a fantastic time watching the boys get so excited about decorating and treating their little sister with all kinds of homemade gifts.

Happy 7th birthday, Elijah Xavier

We love you and think that you are the coolest 7 year old on the face of the planet. Your tomahawk cake was a smashing success and we are so blessed to have you in our lives.

And the little princess said...

with eyes so big and bright, "Mama, can I wear your dress?" So, mama stops ironing, puts the pink nightgown on the princess and all is right with the world.
