HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

God has blessed me with 4 smart, fun, hilarious, beautiful children who bring me so much joy each and every day. 6:00 AM, Mother's Day

Josh: Mom, wake up! I have a surprise for you

Mom: Honey, it's 6:00 in the morning. Come lay by mommy for awhile.

Josh: No! Mom, get up! I have something for you. Come in the kitchen and close your eyes.

.....Joshy made me breakfast all by himself. Cereal, milk and juice. What a sweetie! (I'll be telling this story for years to come.)

I ate my very early breakfast then we went back to bed.

My absolute favorite recent picture of Brynn! This is a portait of her personality...the cake certainly helps to capture it!

Cake-stache! Make a wish Car-Car!

Carli is 14. O.M.G.!!

Camping! Yea! Let the season of being outdoors begin!

Baby Madeline had to come camping too. (Of course!) Here Brynny feeds baby her bottle. She's such a good little mommy. Brynn is a very tired girl after hiking and is NOT in the mood for pictures.

Daddy shows Josh how to write in the sandstone wall.

Throwing rocks in the river is always fun...here comes a big one! Look out, Josh!

The boys! Outside=happiness

At the top of Chimney Rock checking out the view! Beautiful day! In a cave...just like the bears

Oooooh, look MOM!

My favorite quote from the weekend: "Look Mom! A 'waterfart'!!"
