Much to Celebrate...

We are in a very busy and very FUN stage of life currently. We had a six-week period of awesome blessings and celebration. Six close friends and family members had healthy babies within this 6-week period and we enjoyed celebrating major accomplishments and milestones!

It all began with dedicating our precious Will to the Lord at church and celebrating with family afterward. We pray that both of our boys would come to know the Lord at an early age and walk with Him each day of their life!




Then, we got to celebrate my sister's high school graduation. She is an amazing woman of the Lord of who I am so proud. She is fun, smart, always ready to laugh, stylish, a great dancer and an even better sister and aunt to my boys!





Next, Will and J got their first cousin on the Pattillo side. We love him so much and he is just adorable!


 Cousins!

My boys made my birthday special and I even got a night out with my wonderful husband! Daddy and J made me a special fun-fetti cake with chocolate icing...it was delicious!


I hope I have help blowing out my candles for the next 30 years!

Scott and I had always planned on taking a 5-year anniversary trip, but with a newborn, that will have to wait another year. I am so thankful for the gift of marriage and for God providing the perfect partner for me. We were able to get a night out together and Scott surprised me with a night at a local hotel! Will got to tag along and slept great so we could enjoy.



 J had a fun time and made this awesome airplane with his Uncle David!
My handsome anniversary dates!!!

  J helped me make a "railroad backrub" shirt to celebrate the best daddy ever. He did a great job running  his Thomas the train over those tracks and rewarding Daddy with a back rub! My awesome playgroup helped make this gift possible...love them! :)


 We had a flat tire that evening and J was to the rescue. :)

And, my J celebrated another year of life! I cannot believe how much he has grown up in the last six months. He is potty-trained, has conquered most of his separation anxiety, is an amazing brother, would play 24/7 (Eating, sleeping and all of life pales in comparison to playing with toys or outside!), and most importantly, God has been working on his heart and giving him great understanding and sensitivity to the good news of what Jesus did for us! I am so blessed to watch him grow, mature and become the preschooler that God created him to be.





 Will is happy to celebrate his big brother.
Pinata! I didn't know if they would get this, but they loved it! so fun!

Lastly, my brother is getting married! We had a great weekend celebrating him and my new sister-in-law.

What an exciting and fun time in life. We are blessed!
