Fun with Grandmom, Pop, GT, and GiGi

Oh how I love these three!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving...a time to think about what we are most thankful for in our lives. I love to hear the things people are thankful for. Especially children. When I asked Halie what she is most thankful for in the whole world she said, "Ummmm rainbows." Such a simple answer. I am most thankful for God. I am thankful that He chose to send His Son to take the punnishment that I deserve and offer me forgiveness and life. When I think of how Jesus willingly left His throne in Heaven to come to Earth, knowing exactly why He would come, and He chose to anyway. All because He loves me that much! This blows me away. I did nothing to deserve this. What I deserve is to suffer Gods wrath for the rest of eternity. Thank you Jesus for taking my place on the cross!!! Here are a few pics of the festivities...ran my first 5K that morning and enjoyed a meal and some hang out time with my family.

Wait a minute...Is he the same size as Peyton??

Halloween Fun

A Fun Time w/ The Fam

Makenzies 2nd Birthday Party at the Farm

Hillridge Farms - A Little Fall Fun!!

We had so much fun last week w/ some friends at Hillridge Farms in Youngsville. If you've never been, its super fun for the kiddos, you should go.

A few cute pics

Fun with Grandpa Augie and Marcia

Sunday we took a trip to Morhead City to visit Zacks Dad. The girls LOVE their house because Marcia decorates with lots of fun beachy nick nacks that they love to play with and Marcia always lets them take a few things when they leave. Let me sum up our ride there...forget something and have to turn around as soon as we leave, Halie and Zack have to pee an hour into the trip and Peyton has soaked her pants because she drinks so much, an hour later I had a drink and somehow managed to poke a hole in the bottom of the cup w/ the straw so we had to stop at walmart so I could get some pants that weren't soaked w/ coke, the last hour Lucas pooped and it exploded out of his diaper all over his pants and car seat. The good news is we had an uneventful trip home! The joys of traveling w/ young children. We'll miss these days when they are gone.

How much do I love this little guy??

Our Big "Little Man"

Lucas is now 15lbs 5oz. This weight for his age isn't even on the growth chart. He's a beast. He's 24 1/2 inches long which is the 95%. He's 2 months old and filling out 6 month outfits. At this rate he'll be wearing 2T by winter. I'm mostly breastfeeding so I don't usually know how much milk he's getting but it appears to be enough. We praise God for a strong, healthy big little man!!

Happy 4th!!

We are thanking God for our freedoms in this country this Independence Day! Mostly for our freedom to gather and worship Him without fear of persecution! We've got some pics of our patriotic little kiddos!
