The boy who stole my heart...

Well first it was this one... but of course without him I wouldn't have the other boy who stole my heart....

My boys....forever and always one of my most favorite pictures!

Scotty and I are just days away from welcoming our 4th baby!! 4th!? I feel so overwhelmingly blessed by each one of our babies! I thank God for them each and every single day!

Psalm 127:3 

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.

Today my heart and mind are so full of my little man. I can not believe he is going to be 3 on Sunday! I can not believe that he is going to be a big brother! I find myself tearing up at every single snuggle with him this week. Just breathing in his sweetness, his laughter, ever moment. He lights up my days and my heart could just burst. I can not wait to see him with Brody. I know they will be best pals!! I also just love soaking in each moment left that he is my baby. Oh sweet Bentley Boy mama loves you to the moon and back!!

This past weekend we celebrated B's birthday with just the 5 of us at home! It was so much fun and a really special day! Have I mentioned how much personality this kid has!? :)

As you can see hockey is quite the thing in his life right now...the kids is OBSESSED and totally cracks us up!!! He is always "ice skating" and fake falling down! He even "throws off the gloves and fight for hockey" thanks to his daddy for that one ;) He eats, breaths and sleeps hockey!! It is too funny...seriously!! :)

He LOVED that is was his birthday...all day long he would say "ITS ME BIRTHDAY" and he happily clapped along singing "Happy birthday to me BENTLEY!" :) oh I love you B Buddy!!! My sweet little man!!

Monday afternoon we went out and took so me 3rd birthday pictures of our guy. We had a good time and even managed to get a few pics ;)

Bentley Scott,

You stole my heart the moment you were born. My first son. I never knew how much you would shake up our lives and I am SO much better for it. Your sisters adore you, I adore you, your daddy adores and I know your baby brother will adore you just as much as we all do. We love your laugh, we love your "reading", we love your personality, we love your ability to express your opinion...you are totally good at that! :) You are smart, loving, funny, give the best hugs and kisses, are so full of life and energy that I can't help but feed off of it. You are just the best little boy!! I love you crazy monkey!! 

xoxoxo

Mama

These pics I captured of you just make my heart SO happy!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!! :)

Yes it's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada...and we have SO much to be thankful for! :)

Even though the sign below is for sure false advertising ;) ha!

Truly though I am feeling SO thankful for so much!

Yes, that is really me...wow....at least 50 lbs of baby growing going on here....one point for Canada though on their scales being in KG....I chose not to use the converter in that situation...ignorance is bliss! ;) Seriously though...thankful for every little Brody kick and even the loss of the sight of my feet. This is the last time I will feel one of our precious children growing inside of me and I am truly taking in every last moment. We have been so blessed. I am thankful. I am praying for the health of Brody and I.

B and I have been enjoying our days together! He is seriously the funniest kid...really...laugh out loud funny! He keeps me SO busy and I just love every second of my alone time with him!! 

I have been busy working on the boys room...okay really just telling Scotty how I want it...but I did hang the pictures, make the bed wash the clothes etc... ;) Brody's crib obviously isn't finished yet...it is sports themed of course! I still need to get their names on the wall and do finishing touches but I am loving it! :)

Our girlies are doing great! They have made friends and are enjoying school....even though they eat lunch on the floor...no seriously...I snapped a picture for proof! Mal says its like she is at camp!! hahahha! :) Really though they are so happy and we still get to find lots of time for fun things...like  outings and painting sessions and lots of reading...I love being snuggled up reading with them! I also love when they pick movies that they tell me I love and we have a movie party!! Tomorrow is Halloween Town! :) Love my girls! :)

Since this post is about being thankful...I will refrain from complaining about the traffic and the lack of Reese's Pumpkins and the surplus of Screme Eggs....available in full size and mini ;)

Instead I will just end with how I am counting all my blessings on this long Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. I am thankful I get to have hubby and the girls home an extra day. I am thankful we are spending the weekend celebrating B's bday (separate post to come) I am thankful Scott's Chiefs won (it makes him so happy) I am thankful for the cool air here...seriously I am huge and I open all the windows even when its 25....I am thankful for this time as a family...its amazing the closeness that comes not knowing a soul in a different country...family time at its best!! I am so thankful for so much! I ask for prayers for us as we begin our journey home on Friday!! I am truly thankful to my darling hubby for taking me home to my beloved Dr. Sheridan and my family, friends, and hometown to welcome our precious little caboose. Please cover us in prayer for safe travels and no baby action until we are safely at HOME!!! 

And can I just take a minute to FREAK out about how EXCITED I am for a WHOLE bunch of THIS!!!

O give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known His doings among the peoples!
