HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST DADDY EVER!

 

We had such a sweet day celebrating our hometown hero!

We made cinnamon rolls and bacon + sushi for dinner...

(with king crab!)

We did a farm project in the rain!

...and watched a fun movie together!

I feel so blessed to be married to a man that we all admire so very much, behind closed doors, when the world is not watching...the kind of man who honors and cherishes his people and humbly serves with joy every day. Thank you, Lord, for my Brodie, a man after your own heart! Thank you for blessing my children with such a wonderful father that loves like you!

Happy Birthday to the best daddy and husband!!

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in his commandments! 

His offspring will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

Psalm 112:1-2

SISTERS

 

For National Sisters Day, the girls took some special photos together.

I'm so thankful for the time capsule of my precious daughters!

Each so unique and special in their own ways!

I love how they delight in Willow, their baby sis.

And adore Jude, their baby bro.

They will all make such excellent mamas one day!

I thank the Lord for their friendship, the kind that sticks with you through thick and thin.

That's what sisterhood, friendship, and family are for!!

Thank you Lord for these cherished gifts you've given...my darling daughters, best friends.

"Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!"

2 Corinthians 9:15

JUDE + MOMMY

My Elka encouraged me to throw on a white dress and venture out with her for "golden hour".

And I'm so glad she did.

Because these moments...

Captured for always with my Jude...

Will be cherished!!

The way he looks at me and says, "nigh, nigh"...

The way he quickly pops from baby to toddler with BIG ideas over there!

But then goes back to needing Mommy's comfort.

Yes, this is my Jude!!

Mr. Blueberries

One of the great LOVES of my life!

My Rainbow Baby

Thank you, Elka, for such a priceless gift to be treasured!

Thank you, Lord, for my Jude!

"As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you."
