New Years 2015

What a year we've had!  Our sweet boys have grown by leaps and bounds and our Landon has recently told us "he's almost ready to ask Jesus into his heart"!  Music to our ears and the best news ever.  So thankful for him and excited for when that time comes.

We welcomed precious Caleb into our family this year and he couldn't be a sweeter gift.  So happy smiley precious and hilarious and just FULL of JOY!  We love him more than we ever thought possible.  His brothers love him so much that they ask constantly for "more babies"!  We will see ;)!

Precious Nolan has been hysterical and a typical 'middle child" :o)!  Sometimes a handful but keeps us humble and laughing daily.  He is so sweet and smart; always making jokes and a step ahead of us.  Both boys LOVED doing tennis lessons together, gymnastics, t ball, and school.  They are really enjoying KDO and excited LJ will start Kinder there next year!

Daddy is still loving his job at the law firm and is such an amazing attorney that random people in our town hug me and tell me how much he helped them and how wonderful he is...working hard...and thankful for the opportunity to provide well for our family so I can stay home and take care of he and the boys and the home and keeping everyone alive and thriving :o)...not an easy job (hours of 5:30 am to 11:30 pm non stop but wouldn't have it any other way:)!  I have finally gotten back onto the tennis court at our local country club and am very excited to get back in "tennis shape" in the Spring and glad for the opportunity to hopefully start teaching a little again when Caleb is done nursing!!!

Having Gaga and Jeda retire here at their beautiful ranch has been such a blessing for us all!!!!!!!  We have also had many trips...Port A, Colorado, a hill country resort, a dude ranch and more...and we are super excited for our annual mother's day beach retreat, Disney Land Resort trip, and hopefully Hawaii in 2015!!!

God also gave us a new to us home this year which we could not be more thankful for.  We LOVE our awesome neighborhood (tons of boys our boys play with and love to pieces) and our home is finally (after much hard work by Daddy) feeling like home and becoming exactly what we always hoped for!!!  Great yard, plenty of space, and very safe for our sweet boys.  They love their playroom, huge deck and driveway and garage for playing cars and bikes, fun sun room that is the office and their art studio and library (currently getting a new ceiling, paint, and wood floors:), and we are really using every space in the home efficiently so everyone has a special place (LJ's is his piano nook and reading nook and bunk beds, ours is the sanctuary like master bedroom with big deck out the bedroom door, and Nolan's is the basketball court, soccer area, playscape and swings:)!

We could not be more thankful for all God has blessed us with.  This year has not been without its challenges but they have made us closer knit as a family and drawn us closer in to our awesome Lord and Savior.  We would be nothing without Him; we are so thankful for our awesome community of believers and church community group who has become like a second family...helping us build our home, serving others together and each other and just "doing life together" an spurring each other on in love and grace the way Jesus intended.  So thankful.  Couldn't ask for more.  Celebrated "Noon Years Eve" with our annual get together with the friends the boys choose and they made cookies, 2015 signs, and picked out fun party favors.  It was a ball!  Tonight we get to go to sweet neighbors home around the corner to celebrate with lots of boys the kids love to play with!  Excited to see what 2015 will bring!
