our life has changed!
This little guy, yes he's cute black and blue and drool and all. Is one smart boy.....
he has discovered that some things were just made to stand on, even if mom and dad say no....
well atleast he is using this stepping stool for the right purpose...
i followed him around for two days and discovered that when he thought I wasn't looking these were the toys he would use....
and this last group is my favorite...
his face SCREAMS SUCCESS!!!!
i thought the twins kept us on our toes....he puts them to shame and he is just one =0)
for those of you who don't follow me on FaceBook, i do have a video that i will post...if yo'd like to become friends on FaceBook email me.

my valintines gift from Jacob and Jesus!
God is so great and knows our every need!! if you have a need and it looks IMPOSSIBLE rest assure that nothing is impossible for God and that he takes care of those who truly LOVE him!
the story of this valentines must be told from a testimony that started almost 4 years ago! we had two boys and were pregnant with our 3rd pregnancy. Jacob and i went into the hospital for our ultra sound trying to figure out just how we were going to get 3 kids to fit into out Saturn. we knew it was going to be tight but we could fit all three kids!
fast forward a few hours... we were headed home knowing we were not going to be able to fit all 4 of our kids into our Saturn!! God has humor!! but we both had peace that God was going to take care of us and we would make do with what God gave us! this meant making two trips to church EVERY Sunday just so all of us would get to church! and not being able to take "family trips" not even to the grocery store! BUT God had a plan!
every time someone would ask us," don't you think you need a bigger vehicle?" we would simply say,God has a plan and he knows our need and will supply it in his timing.
6 months later, someone GAVE us a Ford Windstar, ( when i say GAVE i mean gave it to us) they paid it in full and handed us the title! PRAISE GOD!! people were amazed at how God answered our prayer!! we knew he would supply it!
fast forward 3 1/2 years later.
we have been praying that God would give us a vehicle that we all could safely ride in. Josiah has been a little squished sitting between two care seats and i always feared that if we were in an accident he would get seriously hurt. he could reach the floor when sitting back and was buckled in, he was just tight! so I've been praying that we could be able to buy a vehicle for a certain price. We have been saving money for a van and new when it was the right timing we would have enough money to purchase one and not have payments!
we have been looking and looking and just didn't have peace about any of the vans.
Saturday morning I found Jacob on line looking at vans....he found one that matched what we knew we could spend...he called the dealership and we were in the van headed to purchase it within an hours time.
The plan was for us to look at it pray and let God lead us as to the next step.
I took all five kids out to eat while Jacob talked to "Stan" from the dealership. Jacob took it for a test drive Loved it! but noticed that their wasn't much gas in it. So "Stan took it out to get gas in it. On the way to the gas station the van died! Praise Jesus that it didn't die while Jacob was testing it. They got gas in it and noticed the battery light was coming on.
by this time i was headed back to the dealership with the kids.
i asked Jacob what was going on and if we were getting it or what(knowing in my heart it was the can or us). and that is when he told me that they were going to change the battery and that we would have to come back Monday to get it. and that they would knock more money off it because we would have to come back =0) however God chooses to bless, right!?
some testimony's from this whole experience:
1. God's timing is perfect!
2. thankful that the gas tank was on empty. this allowed for the battery to die while a personal from the dealership was driving it and NOT while Jacob was driving home with it!!
3. i truly believe that God had this van just for us! "Stan" does not understand why this van was still on the lot! it had been there since November. and they had numerous families coming in looking for vans this size!
4. The price was marked at a great price that makes me even more sure that God was "hiding" it from other buyers!

joy of love (cathcing up)
05 love to hate
You KNOW your loved one does something that drives you NUTS (but you LOVE to
complain about it and the day just would’t be the same if you didn’t have
to complain about it). this one was tough..I'm doing a little challenge and i can't complain about my hubby! so I'm turning the tables and showing you something that i do that drives my husband nuts... i am working on it but as i tell him, your day wouldn't be complete if i simply remembered to put the PB & J away after i make the boy's lunches! he just smiles!
Day 6:the apple of their eye....
i think it is safe to say that this little guys is simple the apple of Everyone eye in our home, how couldn't he be, look at that smile!
Day a8: straight from the heart! the girls went to the store with their daddy, "mom you need a break" they said so off they went to the store with daddy..when they came back the twins were holding these flowers behind there backs
