Week in Review...

This last week the Church put out a photo challenge and I thought it sounded like fun, so I'll share what I did this last week.

The above pic was Abby at church last week, I noticed that she was wearing a dress with a butterfly on it and laying on a butterfly blanket. They made me think of baby Kate.

I love that I have the opportunity to be a mother and to serve these four cuties every day. There is no greater calling or blessing in my life than to be called a mother #BecauseOfHim

This is how I picture Christ in my mind, he's smiling, he's cheering us on. He wants us to enjoy this life, to love and to be loved! I can love more fully #BecauseOfHim

I didn't post these pics as part of the challenge, but this last week was a warm one and one day Abby was so warm that I decided it was a naked baby kind of day:) She's also started sitting up!! So exciting!

Not the best pics but I'm trying to be healthy! I'm trying to eat good and exercise everyday. It's not easy but I want to be a better me!:) I know that I can be a better me #BecauseOfHim

Also, not part of the challenge but my awesome parents sent us this yummy box of See's chocolate in the mail. That was a fun surprise!!

I am inspired by my kiddos everyday. They're pretty dang creative and make me laugh all the time!:) I am inspired #BecauseOfHim. Happy Easter!

Dying Eggs...

I know it doesn't look like much, but I don't have a green thumb and yet I managed to help this fruit tree grow! Yea! So happy that I live in this beautiful world #BecauseOfHim

Abby turned 9 months this last week, she's rolling everywhere, sitting up. She pivots all over the floor on her belly, she's also gotten up on all fours and started rocking. She's our cute little busy bee!

We had a neighborhood easter egg hunt on Friday morning, it was perfect weather for it and the kids had fun. Haley decided she was too big for the hunt, so she went with Rick and Uncle Rob to go shoot guns. She had fun too.

We found some geckos out on our back porch, can you see them? They freaked me out but Rick loved them!

The dyed eggs.....later turned into creamed eggs on toast and deviled eggs, yum!!

#BecauseOfHim I can get answers to prayers!

Haley looks less than thrilled in this pic...she wasn't too happy about being woken up by her siblings who wanted to get started:) We had Haley hunt in the backyard this year all by herself. She is getting too big to hunt with the littles:)

It was a great Easter and I loved that the photo challenge helped me to stay focused on Christ and all of the many blessings that I enjoy everyday Because of Him!
