Poor Bren, he had to work on his birthday. But mama got up early and got him donuts for breakfast and sent him on his way. After work, we had a lovely dinner at Johnny Carino's and then home for presents and cake.
Life is so interesting. When they are little, time seems to meander on but now that my child is grown, I wonder where time went and how it got away so fast. We are blessed to have Bren as our son, brother to Cam, Cait, and Lily. His time at home is limited and we try to enjoy him as much as we can when we do have him.

A whole bunch of everything!
Blogging hasn't been high on my agenda lately. Seems like we're busy non-stop and so it gets pushed aside. But I love keeping track of our days and months and years. I love looking back on our special times and our adventures. These are the things that make this life. So, here's a hodge podge of the last three months. Bits and pieces of our story. Enjoy!
Bren's million dollar smile! (no braces!)A little mid-week trip to Granny & PawPaw's. Even near dusk in August, the pool is very warm!
Cait still loves Tin Tin. I snapped this one night. She asked to stay up and read. We found her a little bit later sound asleep with her book.
Matching pajamas thanks to Aunt Hilerey. The girls love them!
Lily decided she loves riding her bike and we all went for a family bike ride (except Bren...whom we missed!)
Cait's first "turban" "like mommy wears". She was feeling pretty grown up!
What can I say? My treasures!
Lily & Cait wearing daddy's (?) old cowboy hat.
School days are here. Above, crafts. Cam made a walkie-talkie out of pipe cleaners and the girls tried to make window clings. Below, history. Cam's history, Veritas Press, is so much fun that Cait often sits to watch it!
Sleeping beauty & Bunny-Bunny.
At the end of August, we met with some friends at the zoo.
We even got to watch the elephant show. I'm glad we did because this cute little elephant got sick and died shortly after we saw him. Very sad.
One morning Lily was sitting at the counter. I asked her what she was drawing. She said the first one is Jesus on a cross and the second one is an empty tomb!
Another get together with friends. This time we filled our small house with over 20 people although it overflowed outside for a good portion of the time together. We enjoyed s'mores in August and an impromptu worship service. Great times with great friends!
"Hello, my name is chocolate bar" says this beauty!
A non-hurried Saturday morning is unusual and must be documented!
Labor Day weekend we escaped to Lawton. Cait finally got to ride the go-cart and we enjoyed several swimming sessions. Daddy's been working out and mommy got him to show off his guns :)
I got to go to the Women's Fun Shoot this year with Carrington & her mama. We had a great time!
My dear friend made me this oh-so-delicious cheesecake for my birthday. Thank you for spoiling me!
I walked in on Cait & Lily giving Cait's pony a bath. I laughed, took a picture, and told them no more water or soap. JC walked in a bit later and the bathroom was flooded into the bedroom carpet! Oops!
The fellas went camping and the moms and girls headed out for breakfast at the Tea Room. We are very blessed that God has brought so many friends into our lives this year.
On Fluffernutter Day, we headed to the zoo with more friends. And of course, our fluffernutter sandwiches!
There are a couple more events that took place in between all these adventures but they deserve their own posts!

TWO Decades
My first born son is 2 decades old today. No longer a teen but he hasn't seemed like a kid in quite some time. I remember his birth like it was yesterday but the years have flown by before me. I am proud to be his mom. I am thankful for his quiet, strong presence. I look forward to seeing what God has in store for his future.
Bren, I love you and I'm so proud of you! May you love and serve God all the days of your life and may He bless you with His loving kindness. Happy birthday!

Celebrating Cam!
Cam got a lot of surprises for his birthday. Daddy took him to see PawPaw who had fixed up the go-cart for him. After some spins on that, he cooled off in the pool.
But one of the best parts was getting to go fishing with Daddy early on Saturday. They fished for a couple hours and were about to head home when Cam caught his first-ever fish! He was elated!!!
After grilling hotdogs for lunch, we surprised Cam with a trip to the Museum of Osteology. He loves this place and has been asking to go ever since we went the first time a couple years ago.
And he asked for something lemon so I made him TWO pans of lemon bars. It was a fun-filled weekend celebrating our Cam/CB/Peanut. We love you, son, and we are so proud of the young man you are growing up to be!

Cam turns NINE!
Today marks nine years since we had our second son, Cam. It's been a fun experience being his parents. This morning we celebrated with donuts and this afternoon, daddy gave him his birthday present: a Lego table that he designed and built!
Then JC whisked him off on a surprise adventure!

My Baby Girl Turns FIVE
One Year Old
Two Years Old
Three Years Old
Four Years Old
FIVE Years Old!!!
This little cutie pie turned FIVE on Friday. Friday was celebration started with birthday donuts.
Then Granny surprised her with a very girly pink bike! Do you see that look of joy? She learned to ride Cam's so she was up and going instantly!
Cait chose salad for dinner so we had a yummy dinner at Panera.
Saturday morning was our new tradition of Birthday Dress shopping. Cait loved the first dress from the beginning and was reluctant to try on any more.
We were not surprised that she picked the first dress.
Back home for lunch, Cait chose salad again! This time we had a nice salad buffet so everyone could pick their favorites.
Momma made dark chocolate cupcakes with strawberry filling and cream cheese frosting. Cait and Lily decorated the cupcakes.
Cait was so kind and thoughtful, she let her cousin Alex, Lily and Cam each open one of her gifts.
It's just another beautiful side of Cait.
Cait, Daddy, Cam and Lily putting together birthday Legos. She was excited to get two "girl" sets!
And after everyone had gone home, Cait and Daddy raced down our street. And Cait won!!!
Happy Birthday, Sweet (not so baby) Cait!
