Denver James

You are 7 months old my Denver James. Oh my goodness, how we all love you so much.  You are happy happy happy and you love everyone you meet.  You have no teeth and don't eat table food, though you look like you want to eat whatever we have.  You sit up great and look like you want to crawl- so we will see if you are earlier at crawling than the others!  You babble "bababababababa", which is SO cute.  You have all of the sudden been not so excited about your paci and that's devastating to me.  Hopefully you fall back in love with that thing.  You love Sancho and Abby- you seem to be a dare devil (daddy loves to play like he's throwing you up in the air and you think it's so great!).  You love to bounce- therefore you love anyone or thing that helps you bounce!

Oh Denver James- I love you so so much- you bring so much joy to us.

Jett E. Pants

Jett just turned 2 in July- what is he up to?

-he talks non.stop.  The kid repeats, remembers and knows how to say just about everything

- he looooves fire trucks, helicopters, airplanes, and a good BUUUUUUUUUUUS (he says it just like that too)

-he does not like adventure...if it's loud, exciting or super fun?  He won't like it.  It takes SERIOUSLY encouragement to get him to do it.  Today I could barely get him to go outside and play in the rain!!!

- he loves "oatmuck" and eggs for breakfast.

-he loves to read books

I'm sure I have more funny facts- I'll add them as I remember them.  I love you Jett E....you bring so much laughter and FUN to life.

To my boys

Tonight after putting you to bed- I have a heavy heart while hearing all of my imperfections as your mother in my head;  I shouldn't have said this, I shouldn't have handle it that way, I am not loving you the way you deserve, etc etc ect.  I sat down before the Lord- tears in my eyes- repeating Psalm 62:5 "For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him".  I waited, in silence, shoulders shaking from the tears rolling down my eyes- and then I heard HIM- my heavenly daddy say "I picked you to be his mother".  That's right- My GOD- hand picked imperfect me specifically to be each of your mommy- and there is a real purpose for who you will be through how I parent you.  His strength will perfect my weaknesses as a mother.  Parker, Beckham, Jett and Denver- I am so sorry for my failures as your mommy- but trust me when I say this- I love you more than life itself and I rely daily on HIS strength to be able to show you just how deep that love is.  I'm soooooo thankful HE chose ME to be your mom.  I love you.

2 years ago.

2 years ago my sweet Jett- you were snuggling in my arms- just 3 hours old.  I had waited two years for you- thinking that God had closed my womb- and little did I know he had such a precious little boy waiting with Him for the perfect time.  You are everything I prayed for when you were growing inside of me.  I prayed that you would bring laughter to our family and joy and that you would fit right in.  Boy did God ever blow us away with you.  You are so funny and bring so much joy to us in so many ways.  We love making you happy and doing things you love.  I'll love you forever- I'll like you for always- as long as I'm living- my JETT you'll be.  Today was your day Jett- I loved celebrating YOU!

This kid.

So, Jett eats his eggs at his little table in the living room everyday...EXCEPT the days I microwave his left over eggs in a little glass jar.  He then sits on the kitchen floor and tells me "down mommy" while patting the floor so I will sit down and feed him his eggs on the kitchen floor.  I had done that one or two time before and he now sees the little glass bowl and assumes that's what it's for.  SO PRECIOUS!  Here is a pic!

My heart

When I walked in on the boys with all of their stuffed animals on the floor and Parker and Beckham were "teaching"- my heart filled to the top with joy.  The time is coming very soon when these little hearts of mine won't love their stuffed animals so much.  I am cherishing moments like this.

Mother's Day

My Mother's Day.  I am so thankful to the Lord for these 4 boys.  So thankful He chose me to be their mommy.  I love them so much.
