Braydens double digits!

Braydens big 1-0! These pictures pretty much sum up my boy. I cherish his love for life and family. His humor makes our home and hearts fill with laughter and joy. He is what joy truly is and what a gift that is to me!
His birthday party was a 'man vs wild' theme. Which involved a mock plane crash, survival gear, making a fire, & cooking their own food over the camp fire. A couple things learned...boys like fire in kind of a creepy way & ferns don't help with stinging nettle!




A natural....

Makenna truly was a natural at her gymnastics camp! Something that we will definitely be seeing again in her future!

Date night

A trip to Birch Bay with my sweet boy proved to be another one of those moments that Im just reminded how incredibly blessed I am. He is truly a gift to me and adds to my life in such a deep way. I treasure these quiet moments alone with my kids. Little did I know this trip would be my last trip to one of my favorite spots in Washington






We love Tonya!

What can I say? Tonya has saved my life when it comes to a life with twins. Shes helped rally me in so many areas that I truly don't know where to start. Thank you for loving me and my family like you do friend!





Saying goodbye

Our dear friends the Ellersicks got a great opportunity to move to Spokane. God opened the doors to many wonderful things along the way to prove His faithfulness. But even knowing His will made this goodbye very hard on my heart for many reasons! First, Hannah is my best friend and the person who just gets me, makes me laugh, and lets me be me. Second, Haylee and Makenna are the sweetest of friends and seeing how this effected them hurts me deeply. And lastly, hannah was pregnant when she left and the thought of not walking through this journey with her, especially after gavin & the twins, breaks my heart. Trusting in the things I cant see and believing His goodness will see these friendships through any distances!
