for these days I will be grateful....

"for my birthday we're going to da riber!"
anything for you Georgie...
We spent this Saturday at the river playing and celebrating the life of this little guy.
This was his actual birthday and the river we took him!
We drove four wheelers, got super dirty, ate lots of sand and sunk a Polaris.

Literally.


We made George a "cake", at first he was a little confused but then jumped right in as we started singing "Happy Birthday" to him!
Birthdays have always been a pretty HUGE thing in my family so I stopped at the dollar store to purchase a lighter just so we could do this!



Priceless!
can't get much cuter.


a wish was made!


 on our way home, he was EXHAUSTED! He and Graham had their own bag of Cheetos ("anything GOES") and George managed to still get them in his mouth while his eyes were shut... maybe sleep eating? That "riber" is super fun and super draining at the same time.



The next picture I'll comment very little on, basically we were trying to shoot a Ford commercial... and get a Polaris unstuck.
I was laughing so hard, I thought I was gonna pass out. Seth just made the call, went and got his super nice, super fancy truck and made it down the hill and onto the sand like a champ.
I'm pretty sure Adam would NOT have done this. He thought (via phone) we were CRAZY!
BUT, it was successful! And made for some more memories out here. ..






Next up, Dannielle and Emrie came to play while Seth was out. It made for a perfect evening since both Daddy's were busy. THEY PLAY SO GOOD TOGETHER! They are constantly laughing at each other! Emrie is so sassy. She keeps Graham in line when he is mean to her and Graham just craves her laughter and dies laughing when he makes her laugh!
We played for a little while and I made us some dinner and when it was time for Grahams bath Emrie wanted one too. So. .. Since I had my camera out I had to take these. I got a lot but this one had Dannielle and I laughing in the bathroom floor forever!

 I had to share with y'all....

My little menus with all his teeth showing!



Revenge is sweet. Look at her, her cup full of water. Graham knows it's coming. Haha. Kids are FriCken hilarious!


My little baby was worn smooooooooooth out! Crashed with his car in his hand.
One of the best parts of the day is carrying this little guy to his bed at night. He just squeezes my neck and loves me and I lay him down and he turns right over and grins at me and goes to bed.
I just stare at him amazed and thank God for bringing him to us!
He is, by far, the best thing that has every happened to Adam and I.
This night, when I picked him up his car came with us and slept in Graham's bed with him.
He loves anything with wheels! Anything!



We had a good weekend. Very real. And relaxing. And fun.
Sometimes you just have to "bring it home".
On Friday, we all played at the park with Honey. The girls came over and we drove the ranger to the park. It was a beautiful morning and one last chance to soak Mom up before she left.





I'll close with this...


As we were leaving, I took this picture of what it looks like now that we have cleared some brush where the house is going. It's gonna look goooooooood from the river bottom...



Life is meant to be shared!
 Just be sure you share it wisely.

MY FIRST UNBORN BABY IS TURNING 3! Sniff. SNiff!




It's so hard to believe this light of lives is already turning THREE! Where has the time gone, SERIOUSLY! Believe what people tell you, it goes far to fast!

She "helped" me make these cards and she is very proud of them! Getting pictures of this three year old was a pill! BUT, one worth swallowing!
