Makynlie is 3!

Have you ever seen a cuter Princess? We just love her. Makynlie is so sweet, giving, caring, creative, artistic, and we just can't get enough of her teasing. She has changed so much over the past three years, even if she hasn't grown much! We love you, Little Nemo!

Cute - Maybe Even Too Cute!

Check out all of my sister's cute stuff! I loved the hat that I wore the other day, and the flowers are my favorite for Makynlie during the winter. The headbands are also really comfortable, they stretch to fit your head really easily. Still time for Christmas orders!

Faith

Life can be so great! Life can be so hard. There are times that you believe everything should keep falling into place, but it doesn't. I believe in prayer. I believe in getting answers to my prayers. Now, I am learning that just because I pray about it and get an answer, that doesn't mean that those answers are just going to fall into place. There are times when you have to fight for the answers to come true.

Right now, my trial comes from getting the answer I didn't want, and now having to fight for it to happen. I feel like my faith and dedication are being tested. Really tested. And I don't feel like I am passing the test, yet. But I am determined to see this through.

To fight for something you didn't think you wanted, because you know in your heart it is what God wants for you.... this is one of the hardest things I have had to do. This is my chance to make something that is a weakness for me become a strength. To truly rely on what Heavenly Father wants me to do, instead of what I intellectually decide is best for me. I have always struggled with this.

I am so blessed to have a happy, close relationship with my Heavenly Father. I trust in Him, and I know that I need to rely on Him more. I always think I can do everyting myself, but without Him I am nothing. I guess I just needed a great wake up call to see that I need to live more on faith and less on believeing in my own self.

Makyn's First

Today Makynlie started school. I thought it would be great for her to get inovlved with other kids and have something that is just for her. She is sandwhiched between two big boys and often gets what's left in their path of destruction. Polka Dot Parade Preschool is all for her! She was excited to go, and had a blast!

Kale's First Birthday!

Who doesn't love this Bear? We sure do! Kale is the best caboose a family could ask for. He is full of personality, smiles, and has an adorable coyness about him. He makes everyone happy, especially his brother and sister. Kale is standing, and can say a few words. He walks with something to hold on to, and I am sure that his first real steps are fast approaching. We love you Kale Bear!
