Parker's 4th Birthday

How has it been 4 years already?  In a way, it seems like yesterday that we had this feisty little lover boy, but then again...it seems like an eternity ago that they told us that he would need open heart surgery.  My eyes brim with tears when I think about that time in our lives, but mostly because every day we just can't believe his energy, spunk, and love that God has given him. You would never know if you didn't know.  We realize we have more hurdles to jump with him, but we know as before, Jesus will carry all of us through.  There's a reason that this little guy is so determined. 

We had THE BEST party to celebrate his 4th birthday tonight!  We are blessed with the most amazing family who meshes together just perfectly.  My heart is full!  Here are some snippets of our evening.  We love you, Parker Alan!

Anabelle's 1st Birthday

Last weekend, we all celebrated our sweet Anabelle's 1st birthday!  It was like a big family reunion!  Once again, Erin did such a cute job putting everything together for Anabelle's lemonade birthday.  This baby girl is SO loved and we are all blessed that we get to be in her life. 
 

Oh, how they love their silly Uncle Russell.  :)

She needed no instruction on the art of talking and driving!  ;)

My most favorite image of the day!  Listening to her Daddy sing her "Happy Birthday".  Melt me.  :)

I love so so much that my boys get to grow up with my brother's baby girl.  I think they love each other.  :)

Elisha Turns 1!

I can hardly believe it.  My oldest, my best friend....already has a 1-year old!!!  I am so happy and excited that I got to be present to celebrate and also that I got to capture these special moments.  He is a precious little boy who looks just like his momma.  :) 

Happy Birthday, Elisha!
