Milestones.....

6 years old....4 years old....and 4 months old! Praise the Lord that each of our children have recently reached these milestones in their life.



Lets start with Preslee...my first born...my strong willed, passionate, and intelligent daughter.



She recently just celebrated her 6th birthday. As I type the words I can't even believe I have been blessed to have her for the past 6 years. I remember the day she came into my life like it was yesterday. In true Preslee fashion, she came into the world on her own terms and her own timing. I labored with her for 16 hours and spent 4 very long hours pushing in order to meet my little angel. From day one she has had such a fire about her. She wants to know all the answers to life's biggest questions and she would argue with a tree stump. Her biggest enemy is a grasshopper. She has a tendency to wake up multiple times during the night, loves to be in the kitchen, enjoys food network, embraces all things girly, but doesn't mind getting a little dirty, and loves Presley's Country Jubilee (a music show in Branson, MO....our vacation destination). I pray daily that she will allow God to lead her life and use all the beautiful qualities He instilled in her to accomplish His will in her life. Passion runs deep in her little body and I am so excited to see what God has planned for her life. Love her!


Spencer....my middle child...my boy...laid back, imaginative, and oh so loveable.



Spencer, in March, just before his baby sister was born, celebrated his 4th birthday. Oh, what a joy the first 4 years of his life have been for me. Spencer spends each and everyday with one goal in mind....to make people happy. He wants to see you smile and laugh. He is a self proclaimed comedian who tells the best knock knock jokes. He spends hours playing alone in his room making up elaborate stories. His imagination is wild....he recently created an imaginary friend. His friend is actually his brother who exists only in mirrors. He often informs me that this brother of his hits him in the face....I can't help but smile! Spencer has a desire to protect, loves licking his hands, playing in the dirt, Cars, Buzz, and legos. He sleeps with his sweet mouth wide open. To him the best days are the ones where he gets to use the bathroom in the back yard! At this moment in his life his biggest dream is to be a chef and Preslee be his waitress. He has a heart of gold. My pray for him is that He will follow the Lord's leading and become the man he is called to be. He will be a fabulous husband and father. Praise the Lord for his sweet little life!

Brooklynn Ray....the baby....cuddle bug....the rest is still to be determined!



It literally blows my mind that this little angel is already 4 months old! It feels just like yesterday that our family welcomed her into the world. I know often she wonders how she ended up with us, but we have been so very blessed to have her. She brings so much more to our lives...like sleepless nights, lots of noise, dirty diapers, and slobber. She smiles when she is happy and sticks her sweet little lip out when she isn't getting what she wants. She laughs at mommy and daddy when they are silly and seems so fascinated by her big sister and big brother. She sleeps on her tummy and sucks her thumb for comfort. Her favorite toy is a lamb that she loves to chew on. When she is getting worked up to get mad her cry sounds more like a squawking dinosaur than a baby. She can't stand car rides, loves hearing Mary Had a Little Lamb redone to be Brooklynn Had a Little Lamb, and loves to reach out and grab hair. She is beautiful and I am so excited to see her personality develop.
I cherish each and every moment with these three! God blessed me so richly with each of their life's.
