Texting

We’re coming up with all sorts of creative ways to fill my Mom’s days! : )

On one particularly long day last week, we taught her how to send cell phone text messages.

No doubt, in more ways than one, she’ll never be the same after this experience, LOL!!

Emma’s Birthday

Emma’s birthday officially kicks off birthday season in our home!

I can hardly believe that this little person is four year old already-
the time has literally flown by!!

Emma is writing her name these days and soaking up some much appreciated time with her Grandmother…what a perfect way to celebrate the start of a new year for her!


Emma wanted a “”dolly cake”" for her birthday. We managed to pull it off, but I think I’m seeking cake decorating lessons in my near future, LOL!


A perfectly happy girl finishing a perfectly happy day. : D

Jacob’s 14th Birthday

The second birthday this week, Jacob turned 14!

He is changing by the day and becoming a man right before my eyes. I remember Joshua’s 14th year being the last before he grew in what seemed like one night- and is now as tall as his papa!

Jacob has been blessed in many ways this last year- God is leading his life in some incredible directions…I can’t wait to see what He has in store for this very sweet young man!


Jacob opening electrical components- I can’t wait to see what he does with them!


Blowing out candles- he just wanted a simple yellow cake with chocolate icing.
