7 months of squishy

This guy! We just arrived in lovely La Jolla for a fam getaway-ahhhh. Grady and I put our feet up after unpacking in the condo and then he enjoyed teething on his first piece of bread at dinner tonight. Do you think he liked it? My prayer for our time is spiritual and physical refreshment,undivided time with the boys and eachother for meaningful conversations and happy memories to look back on and thank The Lord for. On our walk tonight Andrew talked to the boys about what a blessing it is to come to a place like this and not many people get to do so- I often forget how spoiled we are. Please pray we would use our time purposefully and gratefully and that we would have gospel opportunities with the lovely folks in La Jolla :)! Happy long weekend everyone! And happy 7 months to my little squishy

Mothers Day

> My sweet boys, my heart is so full! I'm so amazed at the gift God has given me in my precious children. Most of all I am thankful for the daily reminder of our heavenly Father's love for us- I love my children with an imperfect love, but Christ's love for us, His children, is perfect! Psalm 100:5 "For The LORD is good; His steadfast love endures forever and his faithfulness to all generations"

Cucumber Mint Lime Sparkler

We recently tried the trendy Lemonade restaurant- super fun! And fell in love with their cucumber mint drink, but not so much the price :/ so I decided to try making it myself...so easy and delish! It's like summer in a cup and oh so refreshing.

Place in your blender 1 cucumber and a handful fresh mint, then pour in enough limeade (or lemonade) to fill container half full. ( we like the simply lime/lemonade brand) blend until smooth and frothy. Fill glasses with ice and a little sparkling water. Top with your cucumber mixture and enjoy outside with your feet up ;)

Our Redeemer Lives!

A sweet celebration today of our risen Lord. I pray that one day soon our darlings will understand the meaning of this day. Happy Resurrection Sunday!

4 and 5 months

We are having a case of being the 3rd child syndrome over here...where most things are being left undocumented for little Grady! But that's ok- it's not for lack of love or affection for our youngest, life is just so rich and full these days that's its getting harder to break away to my computer! We have been traveling and spending time with family- my mom and nephew are currently here with us :)

The first pic is Grady on Valentine's day and the second pic from last month's adventure to Carmel. He continues to give us smiles and giggles all day, survived his first cold like a champ, is teething on everything and currently loves his first two foods which have been avocado and banana. He also loves to bounce in our doorway jumper which is just the cutest thing. I try not to take it for granted and feel so blessed to have 3 healthy and lively children. 

I hope to post more about our trips soon!

Wings

Weston becomes more "boy" every month this year...so much growing up! In January he taught himself to ride his bike without training wheels. No Joke, in one evening he just did it. And he didn't want ANY help! You can see from the blurry action shot above the sheer joy of accomplishment and the new speed of his big kid bike.  Sometimes I get sad thinking about how time fast foes, but honestly each new stage we go through brings so many new joys that the sadness is quickly forgotten. 

Right now we are preparing him to start kindergarten this fall Lord willing and he is an eager learner. Each day he asks so many good questions and I am excited for him to jump into school with both feet. 

My little boys with wings!
