Iowa...

My pretty niece

My very sweet and handsome nephew

My sweet friend's little guy...my buddy, Lane

I got them icecream sandwiches at the pool, because I am a really fun auntie ;)

How sweet are these boys?

That's all for now...

More to come from my weekend with Jakey and Grace!

Janie's first sleepover :)

We had the pleasure of spending about 24 hours with sweet and beautiful baby Jane while her parents spent a night "away". It was her first sleepover so we wanted to document it :)

She was sooo sleepy in this picture that she could barely keep her head from laying on my chest...so sweet :)

Janie spent the early morning snuggling with us...in this picture her little feet are on my neck ;)

Ready for church!

We had so much fun with Janie, it was hard to give her back. She was ALL smiles when she saw her pretty mommy again at lunch the next day! We hope Chad and Rachel decide to take a night away again soon!

On another note...

Tonight was Taco Tuesday!
This is my handsome husband...

and me...

and US :)

random snapshots from my "April" folder :)

Things have been so busy lately, and really only promise to get busier. I wanted to take a minute to share some pieces of daily life, the people that make my heart full, my voice heard, my soul refreshed and my schedule booked :) Once a month or so Drew and I look around and are just amazed at how The Lord has blessed us this past year. He is good, our life is good. I picked some random favorites to share from the last month...

Luke and I at his school lunch thingy

Adrienne and I, ya know...just looking good :)

Jana who has stolen a piece of my heart and taught me many things

Rachel and Janie...such blessings in my everyday life

These girls are so special to me...special enough to drive 11 hours to spend time with them :)

My sweet Gracie girl.

My "job" is pretty great too. Honestly, I can't believe I get paid for this stuff :)

Playing tennis with Miss Emily
Celebrating Andi's "29th" birthday :)

Syd lost a tooth!

The best part of life these days though, is this handsome guy...

That's all for now...

Heading South...

Well, only to Castle Rock ;)

After months of thinking and praying and talking...we decided to move in with our friends the Graves for a little while. It is going to be an awesome situation financially for both of us, and we plan on having a lot of fun too :)

Our new "housemates"...

enjoy a laugh...and a picture of a beautiful baby girl (who we are training to LOVE Chick fil a :)
