Plus One.

Its been way way to long since my last update. Its no longer just the five of us. We have another lil blessing running around these days. Evelyn Grace Taylor, shes about 14 months now.

 We are so glad God gave us her!!

They grow up way to fast, don't they? 

A day at the park

Yesterday was beautiful for this time of year.. I enjoy winter but miss the warmth of being able to get outdoors. We are squeezing every last pretty day out of this year. My children love going to the park. We have several in our area and they enjoy the most old fashion one of all.. Fancy That!!

Can I Jus Say.....

I am love, love, loving this song today...!!!  It brings tears to my eyes... Praise God that I am / we can be "Redeemed" and that He's not done with his children yet.....

Hahaha, Daddy brought these suckers home for the kids one evening after work... The kids loved them!!! So did Daddy, obviously...

P.s.
 Its so okay to laugh... we did :)

YEAAAAA!!!

 Grant learned to ride his bicycle this past week... I thought this lil video was too cute... He thinks he is such a big boy. It took him a lil while to get the steering down but by George I think hes got it... Now he has graduated to the hotwheels and just looooovveeess that!!!! LOL  Hahaha notice the haircut too.. almost dont look like the same boy :) On another note, Gavin graduated from training wheels.. woot woot! That had been a long time coming but he is just more of a scooter boy. 

4th of July Fun :)

   I hope all of you enjoyed your 4th.??  I know, I know... Its sort of hard to do... being smack dab in the middle of the week but I was determined to do something out of the ordinary with the family. We always do the BBQ and fireworks with family but this year was a lil different. It was like an old fashion family reunion with family I normally only see once and year.  We visited my uncle who lives near the lake. He lost his wife, my dear aunt, just a few years ago. It was such a blessing to be welcomed into his home and hopefully the company brought him as much joy as it did me.  We had a huge buffet of food then went down to the lake for a swim, shot a few fireworks, and then toured his 120 acre farm. It was sooo refreshing, even if it was for just a day.

   Attached are just a few pics.... Ahhh memories in the making :)  Take time to love the  ones you have and never forget the once you've lost. None of us are promised tomorrow. My prayer is that I learn to enjoy every moment.. Even the hectic, some times not so convenient holidays. Make memories that last and be content with what you have. Don't waste your today's worrying about your tomorrows. Trust in God and His sovereign plan for your life.. Thank him daily for the blessings that are right in front of you... Blessings that we sometimes take for granted and overlook... Im thankful for the many friends and family that make lil moments like this such wonderful memories.  Good night and God bless :)

Just when I thought.....

 Ball Season was over, both of my children made All-Stars. Im so very proud of them!! I have a love hate relationship with this All American Sport. I love watching my children play but miss the relaxing evenings at home... I don't know how parents cope with multiple children in multiple sports.. 

Up up and away....

     Everything is growing... Im so proud of our first garden so I gotta show it off... We harvested one pot of potatoes so far and were so excited  even though we only got 5 out of it... I cant wait to make some homemade salsa when everything is ready.. We have potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, banana peppers, onions, broccoli, cucumbers, beans and blackberries.... Yum!  We also have some all heal and toothache plants that are doing really well.
