blessed by boys

so my birfday was friday... i am the big 2-8 now. getting old, i know! :o) when i woke up friday morning nate had this card with a rose sitting on the counter for me. inside the card were 2 of the most beautiful drawings of my boys! the picture below does NOT do them justice. if you don't already know, nate is an incredible artist! so i am the recipient of some amazing drawings of my 2 favorite little boys!! i could not ask for a better birthday present! overall, i had a pretty good day at work. then that night nate and i were able to go out, without the kids! he planned our date and it was nice to just sit back and see where we were going! we went to dinner, did a little shopping, and then went to the movies. we saw life as we know it... yes, it's a chick flick, but i'd call it more a romantic comedy- b/c it was hilarious. i did tear up a few times, but i def laughed more than i cried! great movie, go see it if you get the chance!and here are a few new pics of the boys. i am loving this cool weather, and i think the boys are too. they love wearing their jackets and zipping them up to the top, and wearing their hoods too! i much prefer trace's cute stripey hoodie in these pics over lucas'... if you can tell, his has scorpions and bugs all over it. yes, that kid is all boy! :)
these boys are gonna be HEARTbreakers one day!!!


* this is lulu's "mean" face... love it!
and trace was much more interested in the remote than mama!


i am so blessed by my 3 boys... i have so much more than i deserve or could ever ask for! i am so thankful for all that god has given me!

Hey Jamie! Last year I told you about a great Christmas Devotion/Advent book for kids. We are pulling out Christmas decorations and working room by room and I just ran across the book. I knew if I did not stop RIGHT NOW and send this to you I would forget again. The title of the book is: "My First Read and Learn Countdown to Christmas" by Dr. Mary Manz Simon. It is a Scholastic book and it is a board book so the kids can look through it LOTS! My girls were so excited when we pulled in out of the bucket! I hope you are able to find it and I hope your family enjoys it as much as ours did and will again!
