My precious Lauren Kassidy turns fifteen years old today! I wanted to do fifteen photos of her, one for each year, like I did for Mitchell a few weeks ago. As I started looking through pictures, though, it was really hard to choose just fifteen! I have so many sweet ones of her. The one …
Besides being Mitchell’s birthday on August 8, it was also the last day of the library’s summer reading program! The older ones loved volunteering and the little ones had a great summer of reading. The theme was “Fizz, Boom, Read!” so science was the focus of the activities. The kids each got an animal shape …
It seems like yesterday I was holding my beautiful baby boy for the first time. He was stout – weighing over eight pounds despite being three weeks early! At age eleven, random strangers assumed he was a teenager. Today, he is twelve! He is now as tall as I am and weighs as much. He …
Matthew turned four two weeks ago and due to the busy-ness of life then, I didn’t get to share these photos. I wanted to share them now. He is such a joy to our lives! Matthew before church three weeks ago. At the spray park on Ft. Sill. Terry snapped this one after church one …

I have already shared with you that Leslie turned nine last Saturday, May 17, but I didn’t share the photos of her party. She was blessed with so many cards, gifts, and cash! My children are rather picky when it comes to cake. Some of them don’t like store bought cakes. I used to make really …
We have a very busy weekend ahead of us, so I wanted to drop in right away and say that today, my sweet Leslie Anne is nine years old! She was the first child born after my dad died. Her precious little face and soft cooing gave me something to smile at through my tears. …
I intended to write this yesterday, but I was busy living life and it just didn’t happen. I wanted to share how thankful I am for my husband. He does not seek the spotlight. Actually, he probably won’t even be too happy that I’m writing this post about him! In that way, he lives up …
Well, yesterday I had a birthday. I’m finally to the point where birthdays just don’t thrill me like they used to! Don’t get me wrong, I am thankful for another year of life, and I’m VERY thankful to have friends and loved ones who are glad that I’m alive…I’m just tired of seeing those digits …
It’s really hard to believe that this girl… …turned seven today! Seems like yesterday that she turned six! I suppose it’s especially poignant because I had just begun blogging when she was born. In fact, here is a picture of her on one of my earliest blog posts, when she turned one! Hard to believe …
