New Years Eve

We rang the new year in with our friends, minute it to win it games, fireworks, and Rook!

 Jackson and Lincoln love themselves a party!

Jackson helped me plan some fun!

Dropping M&M's around the clock with a straw

Success!

My boys also like to win!

Drop the ball or Hersey kisses in the party hat!

 The best we got! :) 

Got my midnight kisses!

We love celebrating!

Hope to always be ringing in the new year with these 3!

Happy New Year!

Day 357: Christmas Eve tradition: opening Christmas pajamas. 

Day 358: Christmas morning family picture!

Day 359: Just a day of building and playing at home together!

Day 360: Outdoor swim practice for Jackson!

 He wasn't wanting to take off his sweats!!

Day 361: Love these shirts Brian made for the boys for Christmas!

Day 362: I feel like I fail as a mom a million times a day, but I am committed to praying for these boys and sharing God’s truth and word with them the best I can. If you feel the same I’m praying you don’t listen to Satan lies, don’t grow weary and doing good

Day 363: Dinner and shopping with my love!

Day 364: As I reflect on 2017, it was definitely marked once again with God’s FAITHFULNESS and LOVE!
❤️Faithfulness through health scares, waiting, jobs, trials of many kinds, friendships, our boys, our marriage, our family, and answered prayers all in His time!
❤️2017 was a tough year, but also a year with many reasons to celebrate His goodness over our lives! 
❤️Whatever 2018 brings, I always know God will be there ready to show us His faithfulness and love once again!
“Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches the to the clouds.” Psalm36:5 

Day 365: Cheers! 

Good bye 2017, Hello 2018!

Christmas Day

Up and at 'em early this morning!

The reason for the day!

 Love this picture with Berry having breakfast with us!

So excited about the little things!

Sweet moments

Gifts for one another!

Fishing fanny pack for Brian :)

Scavenger Hunt to find the last two presents!

Fun games at Aunt Midge's

All Lincoln wanted for Christmas was this bear, and he spent most of his day with him! :)

It was a "Beary" Merry Christmas indeed!!

The Christmas Eve We Will Never Forget

Before Christmas Eve Service

It was a beautiful service. We got to hear Jackson sing with the Children's Choir and a message about the LIFE Christ brings!

 Then, the most incredible thing happened. A prayer of ours was answered. Jackson looked over at me after Pastor David led the congregation through a prayer, and said he asked Jesus into his heart!!!

BEST. GIFT. EVER!

Thank you Lord and we praise your name for Jackson's salvation and eternal life and hope he has in you!

A tradition started many years ago by my mom is one of my favorites and now includes matching pajamas for the whole family! 

Brian did great with the deer and monograms!

LOVE this picture and these boys of mine!

Ready for Santa! :)
