Bentley would like to say HELLO from his jumper....he totally LOVES this thing if you can't tell! He had it figured out within minutes and was bouncing away!!! Sooo cute!!!

Our precious lil' man turned 4 months old last week! Praise Jesus for him in our lives...oh my goodnes how we love him! Our little guy isn't actually all that little....at his 4 month check up he weighed 19 pounds 6 ozs and measured 27 inches...he is above the 97%...the nurse said "Bentley you are going to be a football player and I hope you remember me when you are making millions" ha! This mama hope he is NOT a football player...my heart and nerves just couldn't take it ;)

This month we were at the beach on his 4 month birthday so I put his sticker on his beachwear and snapped a couple shots...have I mentioned how much I love this little boy!!! Praise Jesus!!!

Thankfully his sun hat arrived yesterday...believe or not I have had trouble finding one. So we have had to try to shade him at the beach...it was hard to get a good pic with all the sun...that is why there are no big smile.

FLORIDA LOVE!!!

So last weekend we had a pretty busy weekend...

Saturday

A day at the beach ;)

Sunday

Another day at the beach ;)

Okay so it was actually busy...just amazing and relaxing. Nothing like a couple of family days spent at the beach!

LORD my GOD, You have done many things-Your wonderful works and Your plans for us; none can compare with You.

                                           Psalm 40:5

WOOT WOOT!!! Aunt Steph came to visit weekend before last and we had an A-mazing time!!! It was a little cooler than usual here in West Palm Beach which was a bit of a bummer for Steph but we still managed to have a great time. We went to the sea turtle rescue, the park, the beach (for pics and because Steph had never been to the ocean) and we even managed an all day shopping trip to the Saw Grass Mills outlets with all 3 of the kiddos and Scott!!! It was soooo fun! Can I get "HECK yeah" for Nordstrom Rack??!!! Oh yeah that is where it is at ;) We had a great time! How blessed am I to have 2 amazing sisters I count among my dearest friends!?! LOVE YOU STEPPIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Florida Love!

"The GOD of old is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms."

These are 2 of my most favorite people....thank you Jesus for my beautiful sister and my precious little nephew. I count them among my most cherished blessings. It is just such an amazing gift to have family that not only do you love but that you truly share a close friendship with. My sisters are AMAZING and watching my sister Amy become a mom has just been a gift to me. I had the honor and privelage to be at Leo's first birthday party and it was such a great day. The kids and I flew in and surprised Amy and she was shocked!!! WOO HOO! I love a good surprise and Amy is the hardest one to get ;) She admits now that I am the master of surprises:) While I was there Amy said something about how you don't think you can love anyone as much as your own children but then their is just something so special about your neices and nephews...I don't remember her exact words but they just really struck me...I do truly love Leo like he is a fourth child. Wow...God is so good! We had the best time and as always were sad to go. But I praise the Lord for my homesick heart because that means that I love my family so much that I love to be with them and miss them when we are apart. Enjoy some photos from Leo's big day! LOVE YOU LIL'Man and SIS!!!!

Oh how I love this lady! I didn't mention my mom at the top but as I have said on here many times...she is my other bestie! How blessed am I that I have 3 of the MOST amazing women I have ever met as family and BEST friends!!! Praise Jesus!!!

And here is the 3rd of the fab women!!!! Look at how proud she is of her little nieces and nephews!! :)

and one last pick that brings tears to my eyes and makes my heart SMILE!!!!!

Love...always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

So we made a SURPRISE trip home to Kansas for my precious nephew Leo's 1st birthday! More party pics to come but just had to share how 2 days after the beach/pool the girls were in snow almost as tall as they are! :) They were LOVING it!!!! Bentley not so much...he was not loving the elephant hat I got him...but Auntie Amy saved the day with a little doggy hat...B was much happier with that! LOVE!!!

The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.

Psalm 126:3



FEBRUARY 1, 2011

These pics were taken the same day as the blizzard was hitting home in Kansas!! It as 88 here in West palm beach! We were at the Sea Turtle rescue, the playground on the beach, and the pool! WOW!!! I do miss winter...however....I am NOT complaining about life in Florida ;)

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.

 Our little princess had quite the princess birthday :) She chose a Rapunzel cake and she got a Barbie house from mommy daddy mimi and papi....she is THRILLED with it and plays with it constantly. She also got a barbie cake and a case for all her cloths and accessories :) She is a barbie girl! :) We had a great family day and we are looking forward to our special trip to Disney World and "Bibbity Bobbity Bootique" both the girls are doing that instead of birthday parties this year. They are SO excited!!! :) I LOVED it when we asked Whit where she wanted to go for her birthday dinner with the family and she said "I am not going ANYWHERE that has a character!!!!" HILARIOUS...this little princess wants no part of people dressed up in costume...I am sure Disney will be a blast ;) ha!

For great is His love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD.

I am so behind on our blog...life just keeps getting in the way ;) That's a good thing. :)

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY to our precious WHITNEY GRACE!!!!!

Oh my goodnes I love this this little girl SO much! She just makes every day brighter and ALWAYS filled with just the BEST busting out loud laughter. She is so full of happiness and delight...and yes an occasional full out tantrum ;) She has so much personality and I just can't get enough of her. This child is a gift from God. I truly give him thanks and praise for her DAILY. We did her 4 year picture shoot out on this gorgeous boardwalk that lead to the beach. We just had so much fun! I wish I could truly capture her love for life on camera...but these pictures will always be near and dear to my heart reminding me of her laughter and the wind coming off the ocean and the smell of the sunshine...these are our precious Whitney at 4 years old...they will always make me smile :) Happy Birthday my precious daughter. Mommy loves you more that you will ever know.
