hodge podge...

so there are a few different things i wanna talk about. guess it's been a busy week- or maybe my mind just wanders a lot so i have so much to tell you. i think it's more the latter :) anyways...


Not sure if you may have heard Rick and Bubba or WDJC talking about this big event, Stadium Fest… Nate and I are going and probably taking the boys for part of it. It’s a totally FREE day, everything is FREE! Check out this website in case you aren’t doing anything that day and might wanna go. There will be tons of stuff for the kids… for the little kids, there will be Veggie Tales, Bible Man, etc, and stuff like an obstacle course and BMX Demonstrations for the bigger kids. And there are gonna be some awesome Christian speakers and concerts that nite for the adults. One of my VERY ALL TIME FAVS- JEREMY CAMP! it's been like 3 years since i have seen him in concert so YAY :) I am SUPER EXCITED and can't wait to go. Oh yeah, it's on Saturday, April 25. So anyways… Here’s the link to get a lil more info. http://www.stadiumfest.org/. it's gonna be GREAT!


next bit of news... please pray for sweet baby Stellan. i heard about him through a friend who had seen his story on his mom's blog. anyways, he was very sick with heart problems in the womb and the drs did not think he would live. and after periods of 24 hour prayer for this lil babe, whatdoyaknow... he ended up being born full term and he was perfect! no health problems at all. GO GOD!! but now he is sick and in the hospital. very sick. there are millions of ppl praying all over this country for Stellan. since hearing about him, i have started reading the beginning of his story (Aug 08) and it's amazing. his mom is an awesome blogger btw, and i love reading her blogs... she is also an incredible photographer and seems to have unwavering christian faith thru all of this. i feel like i know this sweet family. please pray for Stellan and his family... God has already worked miracles in his life and I know He has a great plan for him! (if this link does not take you there, i have it posted on the right side of my blog, called MCK Miracle)

ok now for updates on our life... everything is still going good. just hanging out, working, watching our boys grow! lucas is 2 months old, i just can't believe it! he weighed 11 lbs 10 oz and was 22 3/4 in. at his last check up. and just so you know, that was a weight gain of 1 lb 5 oz and growth of 3/4 inches in just 2 1/2 weeks! YES, my baby is growing like a weed. he smiles at us ALL THE TIME and coos and even laughs. he is so strong and holds his head up like he is 4 months old or something. i love seeing him grow so much but i hate it all at the same time :) my baby is hardly a baby. we had his baby dedication at church on sunday. it was a very sweet time and all of my family came to support us, even baby MASON- which is ANOTHER miracle boy! GOD IS SO GOOD TO US! so here are a few pics of the baby dedication and other random cute pics that i can't help but take of my boys!

nana made this beautiful dedication gown that lucas is wearing. trace said- "what's that mama." i wanted to say "it's a dress" but instead, for his daddy's sake, said "it's his church outfit!" hehe.
also love this pic below, where nate is introducing the whole family to everyone!
and here pastor Jerry is praying for us
they love bath time together!
love that lil fuzzy clean head :) and he's trying to suck his thumb. HOW STINKIN CUTE!!
trace loves his new motorcycle pj's. and look at lucas- he has big boy pj's too.yep, they match. :) can't help it. can you read them? they say "Rad Like Dad"
just so happy!!

thought i'd end with some lyrics from Chris Tomlin's "Awesome Is The Lord Most High"

Great are You, Lord. Mighty in strength. You are faithful. You will ever be. We will praise You. All of our days. It's for Your glory. We offer everything. Raise your hands, all you nations. Shout to God all creation. How awesome is the Lord most high!!
