Halle and Joy

We got to swim with the Bennet's the other day.  Halle and Joy had matching suits and were adorable as always!  We can't wait for these girls to be best friends and change the world together!!

She's my daughter...

We ran up to Jcrew to pick up the boys some clothes for Kevin and Katelin's wedding.  Ella insisted on trying on an outfit for the rehearsal dinner.  Ella is SO opinionated about her clothes...I can't figure out where she gets that from:-)  I've figured out that she likes to see things on models or in a magazine, so she found this put together and insisted on putting it on.  Then she struck this pose and said, "Oh mom, I LOVE it!"  

Morning Competition

I just love my husband...

We were having breakfast together and reading our family devotional.  Haynes decided to do a cartwheel across the kitchen...not that odd around here:-)  He asked Brian if he could do that and Brian agreed to the competition.  Port was the judge...such a fun way to start your morning!

Baseball Practice

 We were having a hard time finding a field to practice on without conflicting with other teams, so we suggested practicing at my parents house.  Brian and my dad measured everything out and painted a field on the grass.  It's perfect!!

 Halle and Champ LOVED watching practice together!

 Lolli had popsicles for everyone after practice...of course!

Halle tried a little but wasn't impressed, she did enjoy making a mess on Lolli.

Then we had to swim...

Champ loves adding bubbles to his hot tub!

Mulberry Tree

We have moved into the house next to Brian's parents house, my kids are in heaven!!  They get to see their cousins EVERY day!  The other day I knew they were in the backyard playing, but felt like I needed to check on them.  I walked out to find Judi coming out of the house saying they were picking berries!  We found them and they had a bucket of berries.  I ran back to find out what kind of berries they were so we could know if they were safe or not.  We are now working on making a mulberry pie or cobbler!  

Ella's hair...

Ella and I seem to battle about her hair daily.  

She loves it to be long, so do I...I just prefer it to be brushed:-)  

We usually give LOTS of options...down, up, braids, etc.  Now she has learned that she prefers Daddy to brush her hair.  I love watching him love her so gently and tenderly...he is really the best daddy!

Happy Birthday Harper!

We got to celebrate Harper's first birthday with her family!  We just fall more in love with her EVERY day.  She got this beautiful wig, but we prefer her dark hair:-)  There's just nothing like watching a 5 year old open birthday presents, be prayed over, and blow out birthday candles for the first time while holding onto her beautiful momma.  We are so excited to see all that God is going to do in and through you in this next year Harper Florence.  Love you!
