Grow, Grow, Grow!

5 months old!!

-Trying out the Super Saucer...that thing's FUN!

-Singing yourself to sleep

-GIGGLING!  Mommy just loves your baby giggles!

-Giving Mommy big, slobbery kisses

-Rolling over

-Continuing to be the absolute easiest baby to take anywhere!  You're happy, quiet, and sleep when you're tired.  What a blessing that is to Mommy!

Asa, we're praying that you not only grow up physically, but also "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ".  You are so special to us!

Love,

Mom & Dad

Here's a line up of my 5 favorite people...

We've had SNOW much fun...

January was sure a snowy month here, so we've had plenty of "snow days".  (In our homeschool, that's where you finish school and then play in the snow because Mom gets spring fever bad in April.)  :)

The kids were SOOO excited when it finally snowed enough that Dad could bring the skid loader over to make a "mountain"!!

They each dug tunnels and connected them inside.  Grant was sure that he could sleep comfortably in his.  Uhhh...not so sure about that one!

Once it finally warmed up enough for the snow to be sticky, a snow man was in the works.  I never got a picture of him with a head.  Allison decided that she'd rather have a "snow baby".

Is that seriously not the cutest thing ever??

And...then we came inside...

Part of me wonders every.single.time. if it is worth the mess.

Then I remember that as a mom, I can grit my teeth and smile enjoy life with my kids while I've got the chance!  Plus, it gives us a whole lot of practice mopping!  And the reward...

Oh BOY!

Yep...we had a lotta boys at our house last week!

Allison is thinking that being outnumbered 3:1 is nothing now.

Quote of the week overheard from the backseat of the van...

"Hey Mom!  ________ has a HUGE booger on his finger and he's waving it around!"

________ answers, "Don't worry Kathleen, I put it back in!"

EWWW!  Boys.  Gotta love 'em.

And I do.  These guys are great!

What a privilege it is to be a parent to 3 of my own little guys, raising them to be godly men to serve the Lord!

It's worth every booger, muddy footprint, wrestling match,

nerf dart, and wiggle.

And, if all else fails...drop & give me 20!
