My favorite memory is easily the moment I met Grace.

This moment was the sweetest, most precious thing in the entire world:

Say Hello to My Little Friend

Isaac's dad gave him a gun for his 21st birthday. It came in extra handy, because we had someone call our house and cuss me out in a whisper in the middle of the night one time. I was terrified to stay at home alone ever again, but having a gun around helped. He taught us each how to handle it, and what to do if something happened. Isaac took a while, but he finally got his concealed weapons permit this past year. Our next step was picking out a gun for me. I wasn't 100% sure that I wanted my own, but now that I've got Grace, it's definitely a good idea. We go a lot of places alone together, and it's better to be safe than sorry. Last week, we stopped over to visit Isaac's dad, and he told us about this awesome new gun they had at the gun shop he works at. We decided to go check it out. It was beautiful, so we knew we had to get it. After discussing it for a while, we came home with this little beauty: The picture really doesn't do it justice....

The Mom Club - Level II

Charley Girl is now three months old: Can I just say that it will never stop amazing me to see how fast babies change? Just look where the top of her head is now compared to where it was when she was born! Since she came into our lives, things have definitely gotten more interesting. When I had Grace, I felt like I had finally joined the "mom" club. Now that I've got two rugrats, I feel like I've been promoted to the more experienced, less "I freak out when my kid sneezes" level. I feel like a totally different mom. Almost like the first time was a dream, and now I'm smack in the middle of life as a mother. I wouldn't change it for the world, though. Seeing these two chickens hug and hold hands melts me into to a huge soppy puddle of love. I've learned how to take both kids to the store (a huge fear of mine before baby #2), and we've adapted to feeding, bathing, and entertaining two kids. It's definitely a lot of fun, b...

Our Last Baby is ONE!!

We made it! Our last baby is one year old. I remember being in the hospital when he was born like it was yesterday. I can close my eyes and be right back in that hospital bed, fighting to keep my eyes open and taking two hour intervals with Isaac. We'd switch off between napping and holding the baby. It felt so good to come home and have our family together. The girls were all enamored with him, and nothing has changed.  This year has gone insanely fast. When we found out we were having a boy after three girls, I was pretty terrified. I had no idea what to expect or how to even dress a boy. I always thought having girls was so fun, because you got to buy them cute clothes and accessories, but having a boy would be so boring in that department. I've found my way, and now I love picking out cute little outfits for him, and don't worry, I've spent just as much on his wardrobe as I always did on the girls! Everyone always asks if having a boy is diffe...
