May's Firsts

Even though it is just the beginning of May, it has brought more than flowers...here are a few firsts going on in our family!

This isn't really a first, just Jackson posing during the first of May! :)

Raelee fell in love with her Kindergarten teacher. This was at her Kindergarten "Celebration/Graduation" ceremony. Raelee was recognized for every day striving for excellence in everything she did! Good Job Raelee...making your parents proud!!!

Christalynn lost her first tooth! She was so excited to be like her big sister in loosing her teeth!
The next pose is of first haircuts.... Old Ryan
New Ryan!
Children are so fun! Brings life such happiness and enjoyment! You never know what may happen next! Hope you enjoyed some of our firsts in May!
A first for me is this Mother's Day will be complete with ALL my children. God has truly blessed me! Praying HE is blessing you too!

Happy Mother's Day!

As I reflect on Mother's Day, I can't help but think of all the times I said, "I won't be like my mom! She is crazy!" I believe all kids say that, but reality is...you do carry your mother's traits & you are like them. I find myself saying phrases that my mom used so many times with me, "I'll get on you like a mess of ants!" The girls just look at me, like I'm crazy!! What's up with that?!

My mother is a God fearing, Christian woman, who is hard working both inside and outside the home! She raised me as well as my two younger sisters in a manner that we carry on her legacy in our children. She has shown me how to work hard, love my husband & my children, & serve my LORD.

My mother is a very loving person and in return is very loved by many, especially me and my family! Thank you MOM for what you do for us! Now, I want to be more like my mother as I age!!! Although, still haven't wiped my kids face with my own spit and thumb...still pretty gross to me now as it was when I was younger!

Love you MOM!
