My Christmas gift


Jeff has so many amazing talents given him by God and I am so excited to see where God takes him with his new company Day 3 Productions, his art work, and his photography. So for Christmas he painted me this amazing painting. Here it is. It's a calla lily and has Isaiah 40:31 painted on the right. I absolutely love it! It's 2 feet by 4 feet and fits perfectly in our kitchen. We are going to get 2 canvas prints made to go on the opposite wall in our kitchen-one of Cale and one of me and Jeff. Can't wait to see how it all comes together! Thanks handsome for an amazing painting!

Merry Christmas



Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you God for sending your son Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice-what an amazing gift. I am reminded at this time how truly blessed I am-amazing family, wonderful husband, and adorable son. Thanks be to God for all the blessings. Hope you all enjoy this time with family and friends! God bless us one and all and may we remember the true reason we celebrate this time of year-Jesus!

Such a ham is our little man


Hanging in his closet, playing with shoes


We fold, he pulls out his clothes



He is going through a "I don't like the flash stage"

Baby Abigail

Erin is a dear, sweet friend that I have known since I was a little girl. We used to play tag and ride three wheelers in the neighborhood we grew up in. Erin's and Mark's sweet baby girl, Abigail came into the world on December 19. We are so excited for them and know that she's got an amazing set of parents! Welcome Abigail!

Visit with Friends




My dear friend Kara, her husband Caleb, and daughter Hannah were in town and stopped by for some yummy chinese the other night. It was so great to catch up with them!

This was actually Cale eating his first birthday cake that we got him on his actual birthday. He made an absolute mess, but it was so fun!

Cale's 1st birthday party

This Saturday we had a bunch of friends and family over to celebrate Cale's 1st birthday. It was so much fun. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. And the love they pour out on Cale-it's awesome! Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us and to those that helped with the party. Here are some pictures.



The cake

We asked people to bring canned goods to donate to a local food pantry-our guests rock-look at all of those canned goods!

Josh performed an amazing show-thanks so much Josh!


Kissing on baby Cale

1 year old

It's official, we have a one year old. Didn't get a chance to post yesterday, it was a crazy day filled with a birthday lunch at mommy's office, dinner with mommy and daddy, getting Christmas pics for the Christmas card and then letting Cale go at it with a little cake-that was hilarious and disgusting! Happy Birthday little man. Can't wait for the continued journey through life with us. Your smile melts my heart, your laugh is contagious, the way you get excited about things and bounce up and down or clap brings joy, your talking and yell talking cracks me up, your snuggles are priceless, and you in general are the most amazing gift your mommy and daddy could ever have! We love you dearly. Photos to come later tonight!
