Proverbs 22:6

We are fortunate enough to be blessed with 3 wonderful little boys: Jay, Cody, and Riley. We always say that we're not just raising boys, but we are raising husbands. This blog is for them.


Proverbs 22:6 "Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it."

Happy Birthday, Riley!



Happy 5th Birthday, Riley!!
I can not believe that you are 5, it really seems like just yesterday that the Drs. did not even think that you would live, It is not something that a lot of people know....but YOU are truly a miracle baby, when you get older we will tell you the two stories that prove it. As for now I just wanted to take this time to tell you how much you complete our family, you make us LAUGH all the time, you can dance and do just about anything in this world. You may be small in size but you have a huge personality. I am so happy that I decided to keep you at home this last year with me instead of MMO, it truly has bonded us. I can not tell you what it does to my heart when I hear you say that you love me, see you are a Daddys boy from day one and you were slow to warm up to me but, now that you have I melt when you cuddle or snug up with me. you want your Daddy to put you to bed but, you always want a "scratch back" from me....Riley, YOU are the baby that I did Not even know that I wanted.....I thought that our family was done and then the Lord surprised us with you. And as you grow you will see that His plans are Always better then ours. You are proof of that and that no matter what a Dr. says , God can do anything. He has.....in YOU. Im so glad that He choose us to be your parents, I know that you will do great things in this world and no matter how old you get I will ALWAYS give you a "scratch back", I love you~ Mommy

Salvation

When Daddy first started this blog I had my doubts but, now I am thankful....see it works, I want to share one of the most amazing days of my life with yall but, you are to young to grasp it so here you will get to read about it and hopefully see it everyday in our life.....on March 26th 2009, I accepted Jesus as my Savior....true salvation. Daddy has already shared the story of HOW it happened I just want to share HOW it felt and HOW it has changed me. When I heard HIM call my name...it was surprising but loud n clear...I realized that I had been living my life as a "christian woman" but not giving Him all of my heart, I carried around baggage that wasnt even mine. See the life that I was born into is the opposite of yalls life in every way. I gave God all my heart that night and for the 1st time in my life my heart felt empty n full at the same time..... Even though yall are too young to see the changes in me right now I hope that you will always see IT in me...I pray for each of you everyday from the biggest of things to the smallest....and I always will. I had a very unstable and unloving childhood and try every single day to give each of you a feeling of love and security, you will NEVER know anything different. As you grow older I am sure I will share more of my life with you but, KNOW this.....I would have lived my childhood a thousand times over to be the mom that I am. AND it is with Gods love and grace that I am able to~ all my love, Mommy
