Happy 1st birthday to my Little Joshua! :D

My sweet little boy turned 1!

     I can hardly believe a year has gone by already! Just last night I was remembering the night he was born. He was so tiny and sweet! I could hardly believe he was finally here!
     Joshua is so sweet and smart and loving. He adds so much joy to our lives just by being himself! Josh and I love him soo much. Joshua loves playing outside. Especially when Daddy and Mommy go play with him. He likes it when his aunts and uncles or grandparents play with him too. He especially loves mowing the lawn with Daddy. Sometimes Josh puts him in the baby carrier, and sometimes he just holds him with one arm and pushes the mover with the other one :) I have such a sweet husband. I am so blessed! God is so good.

     Joshua is learning sign language. He has picked it up pretty quickly. He knows about 5 or 6 signs including "please," "more," "all done," "thank you," and "yes." We introducing some new ones now. Joshua likes to play with cars and balls and likes to read books. He does so well kicking a ball around in the yard. He really enjoys bath time too!

     Here is a family pic taken when Joshua was 8 months old.

 

     Joshua started walking at 10 months. He has his daddy's friendly personality and will wave hello to anyone and everyone while we're out and about. :) His favorite foods are smoothies and eggs. He also loves peanut butter & jelly and yogurt. Recently he has taken an interest in bubbles, which he comes and asks me fore by making a blowing sound! I love my little man so much and am looking forward to the excitement of his new discoveries and learning to talk soon!

Happy 10th birthday Kevin!

Happy birthday to my youngest brother Kevin! This amazing little boy has been battling leukemia for almost a year now. He has gone through soo much and yet through it all he remains calm and has such a sweet spirit about it all! He amazes my family and I every day!

Please be praying for this special little boy. I love him so much. He has a special place in my heart and the hears of my entire family. God is answering prayers, but Kevin still has a long way to go. Praying that his 10th birthday is special for him. Love you Kev!!!

When we found out we were expecting, Josh and I were so excited! It was so special when we went to the midwife and heard his little heartbeat for the first time! And when we got the ultrasound and found out it was a boy! We were so happy. We decided to name him after Josh :) Our Little Josh has brought so much joy into our lives. He was born on August 4th, a perfect little baby 7lbs 6oz :)

Being a mom is awesome! It can be a little challenging at times, and takes a lot of work, but it's so worth it! I love it. Our sweet little boy is already 6 months old. How time flies!

So precious!

God is so good :)

Wow, I haven't been on here in forever! Life is good :) Full of challenges, adventures and joys :) So many major things have happened in my life since I was on here last. First would probably be my wedding! The most wonderful day ever! I like to say the second best day of our lives (next to getting saved that is :)



Life has been good. God's plan for marriage is the best. When you do things God's way He will bless you for it. Being married has been awesome! Not always perfect, but definitely good :) Josh and I moved to Greenville SC after our wedding. He worked there as an optician. I loved getting to know his family and friends there and now have many wonderful friends there myself!
We have a wonderful church family there as well. No matter where you are in your Christian walk, it is so helpful and encouraging to have a body of believers around to support, encourage and love you. We have been so blessed by Greenville Christian Fellowship and by Josh's wonderful family and friends!

About 1/2 way into our first year of our marriage, we announced a new addition to the family was on its way!

It was a wonderful first year for us. :)
