A life full of laughs, dirt, and bruises. All because of "mama's little men."

Untitled...

Still not a whole lot going on, just keeping busy running here and there with little activities. Today we went to my cousins house and went swimming, but I failed to take pictures of the fun in the pool. My cousin did snap a few pictures with my camerathough. Noah has forgotten how to swim (?) I don't know how you can forget to hold your breath, but he has, so the arm floaties are back on! V.J. didn't care much about the water, but did decide to get in after a little coaxing...and poor Seth could have cared less about the water when it was his nap time. He fell asleep swinging with me on the porch swing.















I know every parent has seen the following image in their home, but I just wanted to post it because the boys (all 3) were having so much fun playing together...destroying their room! What a beautiful mess!
Last but not least by any means, I just want to praise God for who He is. He has been so incredibly faithful to us to the point that we feel overwehlmed. It is so humbling to be so inadequate of everything compared to Jesus, yet He abounds us with His love. We know that God is always with us every second of everyday, but when you bow before Him that one time in prayer and thanksgiving, and can feel Him wrapping His arms around you, the love, power, and strength that comes with that is soooo overwhelming to us. We feel like He has His arm around our shoulders saying, "come with me, I've got you!" WOW! He is absolutely amazing and the comfort we feel from Him, is enough for us to know that we can endure anything-and will endure anything in Christ's name! That is an amazing feeling of power yet it's His power He's bestowed on us. We bow down in awe of who He is and desire to know Him more and more everyday, until we meet Him face to face someday...His day...
