HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!

We hope that all of you had a very happy easter and that it was as blessed as ours was. We got up for the kids to recieve their easter gifts from the easter bunny very early and then laid back down awhile before getting up and getting ready for church. I really dressed the girls up and made them beautiful hairbows to go in there hair to match the dresses they had own. After church we went and ate at mimi and papaw's. The girls had a really great day and loved all of their easter gifts. This year's easter was really awesome and I definitely enjoyed my first easter having to beautiful daughters and a wonderful husband, which makes my family complete!!!

EARLY EASTER PRESENTS!!!

Kylee and Kaylor recieved some very cute gifts for easter already from there mamaw, dadaw, and mimi and papaw. We went to kyle's parents house last night and kylee died easter eggs with her cousins skyler and jordan, she absolutely loved it. This is the first year she is old enough to enjoy easter, she said she is going to leave her eggs out for the easter bunny to eat. And of course the baby was held all night long by her proud grandparents. I love the holidays especially now that I have children, it is so fun to watch them get excited and anticipate gifts from the easter bunny!!! We are also waiting on a gift from Uncle Frank to come in the mail, we are expecting it today, he said he would be so mad if it didn't come in until after easter, but either way I know the girls will love it. They have so many family members that love giving them gifts that almost every holiday seems to be like christmas to them. I am so very thankful for that, What Would We Do Without Our Loving Family?? Here are two pictures of there early gifts!!

Kaylor Gem's Beautiful Room!!!

Just Feel Like Writing!!

I have just been in the mood to write, so I wanted everyone to know that the girls are doing great and that they are getting so big. Kylee's 3rd birthday is in June and I have already booked and payed for the party and the cake, I am such a scheduler, and I like to schedule things way in advance and have them payed for because you never know what is to come. Kaylor is getting the cutest fatest cheeks and she has the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen!! I have some pictures to share with you that I just took today of Kylee and Kaylor and of Kaylor's room. I took pictures of Kylee's room a while ago and blogged them months back so I figured it was to show everyone what Kaylor's room looks like too.

GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!!

On sunday April 5th my husband and I and our two girls were admitted into our church as members and we gave our children to God, It was one of the most awesome heart felt feelings I have ever had in my life. We have been attending church on a regular basis for over a month and we finally felt that it was time to commit ourselves. It was so beautiful on the first sunday we went to church Kylee looked at me and said "mommy I love church, I am so happy". When she said that I knew it was the church for us and that it was time to start teaching our children about the lord. I feel so at peace when we are at church and I know that God has all the answers to our prayers and he deserves to be honored every single day including Sunday.

How Life Can Change in an Instant!!

Almost one month ago my 3 1/2 month old was admitted into the hospital with a severe UTI. We were there for three days and were sent home with a diagnosis of Kidney Reflux Disease, which happens to be the same disease my oldest daughter has been diagnosed with as well. To explain the disease shortly all of there urine does not get released from the kidney and it causes bacteria to back up in the kidney leading to UTI's. This news has been so devasting. I know it could be alot worse but the one thing we hope for as mother's is that our children are perfectly healthy. Three days after Kaylor (3 1/2) month old came home from the hospital I had to make a really hard decision which led me to quit my job that I have had for a very long time that payed pretty well. I have really enjoyed being at home caring for the girls but the change has been so hard. In the blink of an eye my daughter was very sick with the possibilty of her kidney's shutting down and me having to quit my job. Thank goodness for God's loving care and his ability to get us through anything. I just pray that my girls grow out of this disease which is a possibilty or that it doesn't get any worse and they can live happy, healthy normal lives.
