Jayden loves to party!

Jayden turned nine! We had a small family get together with Spaghetti and Chocolate Cake. Jayden had a great time.

Teenagers

These girls have been true teens this week. I think they have gone to bed at 2:30am, 1:30am... and various times in between this week. They are learning how to do all of their homework and still get up to be at school on time... not such a fun lesson.

Photo lessons in the garden

Posing is no fun!

Everyone loves a little brother!

Now, would he ever misbehave?  Certainly not!

Beauty in the sunlight.

Payten took this photo for her Art project. 

One day, my girls will have to find the path that is right for them.  This photo reminds me that they will always have one another to turn to.  I love that.

Madi and Pay are breath-taking to me.

This boy...  I can't help but love him like crazy.

I love them so completely when i see the interaction between them.  Identical twins are such a miracle.  I am amazed and honored each time i see that unbreakable bond.

Trip to Glorieta New Mexico... Just me and Scotty!

Cars...  Route 66...  Really cool

Possibly one of the coolest hotel signs we saw on Route 66.

Classic Santa Fe...  every single building looks the same...I hate it.

So the boot shop....  Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland recently purchased a new pair of boots here.  

These are my dream boots....  I absolutely love them... not $1800 worth though.

The boots were my favorite art in Santa Fe.

Architecture in Santa Fe.

Cadillac Ranch!  Oh how fun!

Custom made boots at Back at the Ranch in Santa Fe.

Palo Duro Canyon

Snow in Glorieta New Mexico

The view was AWESOME.

Can you believe he is turning 9?

We celebrated "the boy's" birthday today. Since my Mom is having her knee replacement on Monday... she would not be ready to party on Tuesday... Jayden's birthday. We partied today. Pictures coming soon. Huge Thank you to Jenn... for taking the awesome photos of Jayden when she was here.

My word for the year....

Instead of new year's resolutions... I decided to choose a word for the year. This word will remind me, guide me, challenge me, define me....

CLARIFY

I want to clarify the things in my life this year.

Clarify... what is important

Clarify... what deserves my time and attention

Clarify ... who is most important to me

Clarify... the needs and wants

Clarify... where is God leading me

Clarify... what needs to change

Clarify... who it is I am called to be

CLARIFY

I love my sister. She has started a business with a friend and created me a bracelet to help me on this journey.

Check out her website.

True Beauty

The beauty of 13.


The bond that twins have is so incredibly powerful and amazing.



As a mother... one of my favorite things is watching the personality that the Lord develops in each one of my children.


At times Madison is a miniture version of me... and other times... she is the person I strive to be.

More holiday Images

Payten got just what she wanted.


Hadleigh thinks the plastic bowls and lids should go somewhere else.

Papa is so much fun... Isaac loves his Papa

The only man to conquer the Hadleigh fit.... Papa

Thank you for spending Christmas with our family Michelle. We love you.

Stockings at Nana and Grandad's

We love these guys...

Santa really liked the Krispy Kreme this year....

Jayden finds the movie he has been screaming about.

Ladies... settle down... this one is taken

Guilty Pleasures. While I thought Scott was taking the kids to school and getting ready to go to work soon after I left each day... the real truth surfaces.

Absolutely the prettiest family wall album I have seen. Way to go Abby.

Family having fun!

No one like presents better than little Will-man!

Skype this! So glad Lauren and the kids could participate from miles away!

Kate the magnificent.

How pretty these girls are. Madison and Kate enjoy a cuddle...

Thanks Dad.... Jayden loves his present.
