Isaiah's 4th Birthday Party




Isaiah is now a 4 year old. It's funny because just today I was at the store and a lady asked me if Porter and Isaiah are twins. Porter isn't even two yet. They are both big boys, but Porter must be extra huge. For Isaiah's Birthday we decided to do a "Science/Magic Show" Party. Each boy was given a Science experiment kit, and Joe helped them do several science experiments. It was so fun to watch their little faces in amazement. After the party, Isaiah said, "Mommy, daddy is MAGIC!" Isaiah looks up to Joe so much. I remember thinking the same thing about my dad growing up when he would "magically" pull a penny out of my ear. Dads are simply amazing.

Isaiah has grown up to be an exceptionally fun four year old. He loves to build anything and everything. I think he will do many projects in his life just like his dad. Isaiah loves catching bugs. He could spend hours and hours in the yard scouting out bugs. How he finds them, I don't know, he can spot them anywhere. He really has an amazing eye for finding bugs. I love that Isaiah loves me and prefers me over anyone. I am trying to hold on to this, because I know one day he won't cuddle me anymore, and he will want to be right by Joe's side. I love my Isaiah and feel so blest that I can be his mom and watch him grow.


Smiley Savanna

My little Savanna is so smiley and brightens my day every day. Going from 3 to 4 kids has been quite the transition for me. I don't know that I have ever been so busy in my life. These 4 wonderful delights stretch me to my every limb, but I love them so much, and I wouldn't change it for the world. Many many many more posts to come.......... Finally I will do some catching up.

It's been too long........


Blogging has sure taken the back burner, which I am so sad about. I really hope to jump back on the wagon. So much to blog about and so little time. We have been so busy with doing so many projects around the house. Tomorrow I will be 38 weeks with this baby girl. We are so excited to welcome her into our family. How did I all of the sudden have four kids?? I can't wait to get this little girl out of me, and heal from all the aches and pains. I am so excited to meet our little angel. I will try to get some posts up before the baby is born. If not..... stay tuned for pictures of our new addition.

Great Quote

I found this quote today by Marjorie Hinckley. What a wonderful woman she was, and put my own life in perspective. I hope you like it......

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.” Marjorie Pay Hinckley
