Where did my babies go?

Who said it was ok for my babies to grow up? I'm not ready. Stop. Just for a little bit. Please?

Can't time just stand still?

In this busy world we live in, it is sometimes hard to notice that time is passing too fast. That your first born is now a pre teen talking about college. That your daughter has officially lost that baby face, and that your baby... your last baby is no longer a baby. She is her own self and has her own way of thinking.

Yes, I love the people my children are becoming. I just miss my babies.

Anna~looking more grown up every day!

Trin~ loves this pool! Loves this water! Loves her life! (Loves these beads!)

Happy 12th Birthday Bub! We love you!!!

(i think Bub has this shirt on in every post. He does have other clothes, he just loves this shirt!)

The girls get their first medals!

The proud recipients!!!!

Anna on the uneven parallel bars.

Whoa!! That was fast!!

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that Anna would be able to do something like this. We are truly blessed! She has come farther than any of us ever imagined. We were sure that when she was born with hydrocephalus that she would be leading a much different life. I thank God everyday for the gift he has given us, and continue to pray that he watches over her and keeps her safe.

"The medal" which is way better than a trophy! :)

Just some random pictures

Anna relaxing and soaking up the sun!

I think all little kids have a picture just like this. I know I do!

Casey enjoying his new angel quilt from Aunt Dianne.

Trin showing Dad how to do her new "funny face".

It is finally WARM!!

Temperatures have been in the high 80's! Woo Hoo! The warmth of the sun has me thrilled. We have spent just about everyday playing outside or finding new parks for the kids to play.

Trin is saying HOT in this picture. She touched a bench and she thought it was too hot to sit on.

This park had a great jungle gym! Trin was little unhappy! She wasn't big enough to get to the top. No worries! She just went and did her own thing.

This looks safe huh?

This was not at a park or outside play, but I just love it.

Our Week

Blurred on purpose. I love this grin. He is growing up so fast. It seems like just yesterday he was Trin's age wanting us to play twactors.

Ni Ni being a big girl on the see saw.

In true form.

Bubba is so funny!

Our week

Neen and her little yellow bus. What a gorgeous day!

Got handstands?

Anna and her teacher. Wednesday was the last day in portables. The school is moving and will be at their new location on Wednesday.

Anna leading the way? Or Trin? Look at all that grass! Love it!

Hummingbird Moth

A moth or a humming bird? We first saw these interesting creatures last August. We were walking and were amazed when we saw 5 of these creatures on one plant.

We saw this little guy last night in a weed on the lot next door. They are so fascinating! They fly just like a humming bird, and get nectar the same way a hummingbird does. Their wings even make a humming sound!

See him pulling nectar from the flower?

After searching online we came to the conclusion that this is actually a moth that mimicks a hummingbird. It is called a Hummingbird Moth. Don't tell the kids though. They are so excited to see hummingbirds this close up.
