Not mine, but God's

"Sometimes I worry about my lack of parenting skills. Since I'm learning as I go, I pray that God will fill in all the pieces I miss and protect my children from my mistakes. They belong to Him anyway. I forget that. God created my children. He's giving me the honor of raising them, but HE is ordering their steps."

Don't Make Me Come Up There

This really hit home for me today... God has given me the priviledge of raising my children, but they belong to HIM and HE is ordering their steps.

Nilla Wafers

Other than bananas, Mini Nilla Wafers are one of Dylan's favorite snacks! If he sees the box, he freaks out and if he doesn't get them QUICKLY he loses his mind!! (Homeboy has a temper!)

Concentration...

Look what I found!!

Mommy, how do I get these open?

Jackpot!!

Ok maybe I can get it open this time...

 

He can almost taste them!! Either that or he's going to lick the box if he doesn't get in it soon.

This face melts my heart!!

Down on my level now...

If I can't get them open then I'll just eat my way in!!!

Or not...

Camera Neglect

Well... I've been neglecting my camera lately, so this afternoon I took out my camera to see if I still remembered how to use it. Ha!

Here are some of the random pics I got.

My beautiful boy.

Jsut hoping to get a shot of her face and not the back of her head!

Mid-Whine.

Check out all those curls!! :)

She stopped long enough to let me take a picture!! Whoo Hoo!!

Not sure where this came from, but she was saying "Baaaaak Baaaak! I'm a chicken!" (or something along those lines...)

Found on my phone!

I just found this precious pic on my phone... made me melt! And wish she was here at work with me to hug!!

Paper Plate Bugs

For Christmas Mackenzie got a set of Paper Plate Bugs from her Mimi and Papa Keith. She loved making every one of them! They ended up all over the place... one ended up at my office, one ended up at Pop's office, one ended up on Mimi and Papa Keith's fridge and two of them ended up on our fridge.

Glue. Glue. And more Glue.

She got that look from me... I have the same look when I'm "working" on something.

Lots of little tissue paper squares to "squish" up.

 

Squiiissshhhh!!

More glue and more Mommy looks.

Puuushhhhh!!!

Check out that face!!

Finished Butterfly!! (This is the one that ended up in my office!)

7 times 70

This may not be the best clip I have of her singing her heart out, but if you watch you can see how she so sweetly closes her eyes and sings! Blesses my heart! Not to mention in the 2nd clip where Brian asks her what the song is about. Makes for a proud Mommy and Daddy!!


(Sorry about the quality of the video... It was on a bumpy road with my phone at night.)

Wish you were here!!

I just got these pics from Wanda our wonderful baby sitter... Glad it's her and not me!! Ha!

That face KILLS me!!! Makes me laugh hysterically!!

He went straight to the SINK after this!!

P.S. I LOVE that Wanda sends us pictures like this during that!! She's such a blessing to us and our kiddos!!
