Spooning!

Trinity wanted nothing more than to hold her own spoon at dinner last night....so I gave it to her!

look...

These eyes are beautiful.
These are the eyes of my babies.
These eyes remind me that I have four little eyes that see me, that watch the moves I make. They see me smile, hug, dance, laugh, and take care of them.
They also, unfortunately see me sin.
My prayer is that these four sweet eyes see mommy
hate sin,
love others,
dance (a lot!),
learn,
try new things,
smile more than frown,
and most of all that they see
My eyes light up when I see their EYES!

I also pray that their eyes are used for precious deeds.
I hope that my daughters will see times when helping others is important,
will see that giving is way more fun than receiving,
will see that compassion
is
necessary,
will see the Lord work in their lives.

I pray for these precious eyes.
May the lord open them.

Chloe's Fifth Birthday Party!

Today we celebrated Chloe's fifth birthday! She wanted it to be "fancy". We had many friends over, jumped on the trampoline and the blow-up jumper in the backyard, giggled, ate yummy rainbow cake, sang happy birthday, opened presents, hugged, passed out favors, and celebrated five precious years of knowing Chloe! It was a great party!

Best Friends! The invitation!
The cake I baked for my sweet birthday girl!

Rainbow cake!
Seriously...how sweet is she!
Birthday Girl!
FIVE years! wow!
Think this is fancy enough?

Her new Tricks!

Trinity is growing up! She is learning so many new tricks! It may be the teacher in me, but I absolutely love watching my kids learn new things. Its so neat how they practice their new skills over and over! Chloe comes home and writes her letters and draws until bed time, she sings all of her songs from school, does cartwheels and hand stands constantly, and loves to read books! Trinity tries new foods, practices her walking, and says "bye" to anyone who will listen...which is everyone! My kids are so precious to me and I love this blog because I get to share them with y'all! The first video here is of Trinity's new walking skills and the second video is of Trinity using her first word very loudly in her yellow bath! Enjoy!

I found it!

This is one of my very favorite videos of Chloe. In my opinion, it really captures my daughter!

For Opa...

I recently found some old pictures on a disc....thought my dad (Chloe's Opa!) might enjoy this one!

Sunday Pictures!

Just a few pictures of Chloe before church today! This is one of my favorite dresses of hers! I am thankful she can still wear it this year!
