Celebrating with Daddy

So now Jared is the big 3...0. Good, now he can stop calling me an old lady! The four of us went out to dinner, then back home to open gifts and have the yummy cake the boys made and Jared's favorite ice cream, choc. chip cookie dough. We got him a couple of books by John Piper, a journal for collecting thoughts, earphones (so he will stop taking mine), and a pair of sweatpants.....oh yea. I am so thankful that God created Jared, and that he made him my husband and Noah and Nate's Daddy. What an amazing husband and father he truly is. He is a special guy, and I love him so much.

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Here are the boys making Jared's birthday cake, and enjoying the best part.....licking the batter. I have two little chefs on my hands. We have so much fun in the kitchen.....along with some big messes. That's quite alright by me, I am just having a blast with these two little guys. They can be quite the handful at times, but I love them to pieces, and I never have to worry about having an uneventful day. We can't wait for Daddy to come home from work so we can sing Happy Birthday, watch him open his gifts and..........eat the yummy spice cake.........Jared's favorite. (Notice Nate's orange Popsicle tattoo on his face.....he he!)

The Big 3....0

Ok, so I am the big 3..0. (The number 3 was the only candle we could find) I had a lovely birthday. My wonderful Mom and Dad were there, all the way from PA, as well as my amazing husband and precious boys. Jared and the boys got me a leather journal, (for my poems), a CD, (Ralph Vaughan Williams, British composer), and Paradise Lost (John Milton). Oh and I can't forget the beautiful flowers from my husband. I enjoyed turning 30, and look forward to all of the memories that will be made. I Praise God everyday for the breath in my lungs, and His Word in my heart
