It's hard to believe that my baby girl is going to be 2 years old! Seems like just yesterday she was this size!! I'm amazed at God and His mercys everday. Thank you Lord for your undeserving protection and grace on this girl. Continue to show us grace and help us all grasp the gospel in such way that brings this girl to her knees. Happy Birthday JAYDEN GRACE!

A beachy day

It was so beautiful yesterday and Patrick was off so we decided to go to the beach. So we grabbed a couple sandwiches and headed that way. We took Rocky with us and found out that he wasn't the biggest fan but we had a good time anyways.

Happy St /MY Patricks day

St. Patrick's day in our house is a little different. We actually celebrate it and i mean not just by wearing green but we go all out! We also take this day to remember two special guys and what the the Lord has done through their lives. The first one is St. Patrick and the reformation the Lord brought through him in Ireland. I think it's really funny because most people just think of green beer and leprechaun but it's really a testimony to what the Lord has done in Ireland. Quick fun fact : St. Patrick used the clover to represent the trinity. Also we celebrate OUR Patrick!!! I think back on my life and all most all of my favorite memories has MY Patrick in them! He has truly been such a huge blessing in my life and to my soul. The Lord has ans is continually growing him into a man that seeks after His own heart. I'm proud to call him my best friend, my hubbie, my baby daddy, my accountability partner, and my love. I don't know a better husband or father. We love you. So here's lookin at you babe on St. Paddies day!!!!
Here's a good quote by St. Patrick,

"Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ with in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me."
-St. Patrick

pretty as a picture

Sorry it's been a week since we've posted anything, it's been a pretty crazy week or so. Both me and Jay have been sick w/ the stomach stuff (NO fun at all), been helping out friends, and it seems like my kids are tag teaming me. Other than that it seems to be slowing down. Here's some pics from the past week

Going for 3

YES!!!! It was sunny again!!! 60 degrees sunny!!! This time we did take advantage of the sunshine. We had 2 doctor appointments and a trip to target this morning. We all where up at 6 this morning, made a pineapple and mango smoothie for breakfast, and saw Patrick off to work all by 7. We then got ready in a flash (hahaha i can't remember the last time getting ready was a flash) and was at the navy clinic at 7:30. Judah had his 2 month check up and jay had her bum checked out. Finally after 3 hours at the doctors office we made our way to target. At Target our favorite part is the dollar section. we found spinning wheels that we enjoyed and a big red ball. Both great outside toys for today! Finally after 4 hours out I had a very eager girl to come home and take a nap. When Patrick came home we all played outside and grilled out!! We like to take advantage of the weather as much as possible especially when it comes to grilling!

sunny sleepy sunday

Today was another sunny day but unfortunately we didn't really enjoy it. We woke up to little missy having really bad diaper rash. For those of you who don't know our church is about an hour away and starts at 6. So after 4 BM's by 11 am we decided that making missy prissy sit on her poor sore bum an hour both ways was not a good idea. So staying at home was the decision hands down. We cooked hot dogs on the grill for lunch and just lazied around the house. We all had a sleepiness to us the entire day, all of us except our lil energizer bunny. My bff Heidi got Jay a tent for Christmas and at first she wasn't quite for sure about it but one play date at our house her friends showed her how awesome it was. Ever since it has been played with daily. She loves to play with her daddy in her secret hiding castle. Some times a girl just needs to hide...... and it's always nice when it's a castle :) Here are some pics of our sleepy sunny Sunday. Hope you all got to take a nap ....I did!!!

Sunny days are ahead!!!

It's SPRING!!!Okay, not really but it sure did feel like it today! It was a sunny 50 degrees!! And we took advantage of it by walking at mystic village shops and having a picnic on one of their fun rocks!! We all had a blast!! We are taking advantage of family time together while we still can (news about that to come later). Spring is coming and I'm so excited!! Spring always reminds me of Christ's return. While the sun shines on your face lets reflect on how dark the world once was and how we now have light and life in our Savior Jesus Christ!! Truly friends sunny days are ahead! Hope your day was great as well!!

how funny is that face!! He is well fed, can you tell?

he's totally excited about our trip ;)

on our way... she's a total fashionesta!!
