Happy 6th Birthday, Caeley!

Personalize your own scrapbook design Today my oldest is no longer just a little girl.....she is now a big girl :( how the years have gone by so fast. I can't believe she will be starting 1st grade in the fall. Caeley has had 3 surgeries for her cleft lip and you can hardly tell that she was born with it now.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!!

Father’s Day Prayer

Lord, please bless our fathers,
these men who mean so much to us,
who are greatly responsible
for who we are and who we are becoming.
Bless them for having the courage
to do what’s necessary to keep us out of trouble,
for making us do the right thing,
for helping us build our character,
even when it makes us angry;
and bless them for pushing us to do our best,
even when they just want to love us.
Bless our fathers for being our protectors,
for leading us through stormy times to safety,
for making us believe that everything will be all right
and for making it so.
Bless our fathers for quietly making a living
to provide for those they love most,
for giving us food, clothing, shelter
and other necessary and not so necessary material things,
for unselfishly investing time and money in us
that they could have spent on themselves.
Bless our fathers, Lord,
for saving some energy for fun,
for leading us on adventures
to explore the outer reaches of ourselves,
for making us laugh,
for being our playmates and our friends.
Bless them for being our secure foundation, our rock,
for holding on tight to us...until it’s time to let us go.
Lord, bless these men we look up to,
our role models, our heroes,
our fathers.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

The Night before Father's day

Father's day flowers

Michael's parents sent some flowers for father's day. It's called King of the Grill. I tried to get photos from all sides. Some of the blue flowers grew upside down and those died rather quickly so I went ahead and took them out.

The Best birthday party ever

I have here recently got this book on my kindle to read to my girls. I have 2 girls that are having a birthday very soon. So the excitement the little girl in this story is great. It's a countdown book to her birthday and in her mind she will have a huge birthday party. This book is a keeper for my little girls.

I Love you this much

I also got the on my kindle. This story is about how much a mother bear loves her baby bear and how she shows hopes and prays that the baby bear knows that God is watching over him and loving him. A very sweet book.

We have quite a collection of Step into reading books. Caeley is already at level 2 but could most likely read level 3. Once she started Kindergarten she picked up reading as if she was born to read! She loves her books and these will continue to be part of the collection for years to come as my other 2 girls learn to read.
