Happy Birthday, Makena!

Birthday Princess

She was upset because Trey helped her

blow her candles out!

My pretty birthday girl

I know EVERY mother says this on EVERY birthday for EVERY child, but I have to say it.... I can't believe that she's already 8 years old! Where did the time go? There are days that I just wish I could go back to when she was 1 and Carlie was 3. Things were a lot more simple and in some ways easier. There was no sassy mouth, no big fights. I know back then I thought I couldn't wait until they could do things themselves, now it's like with every birthday I'm losing them a little bit. I mean in eight more years we'll be looking at cars (and that is a whole other scary subject!)! I'm just glad that God has got eight more years to prepare me for that :)
We didn't get to have a big party this year because we have all been sick. Carlie got a stomach bug on Friday night, Makena and Trey both woke up with it on Monday. Thankfully I haven't had all that they did, but Carl and I both got a touch of it. Not fun stuff. Carl grilled hamburgers last night and we had my parents and grandparents come over and eat cake and ice cream. She wants to have a few friends over this weekend to swim. She said she had a great birthday and liked everything she got! Happy Birthday, Makena Faith!! We are so proud of you and love you bunches :)

Three Doses of Happiness

Laundry piled up, dishes in the sink, phone buzzing with many emails, toys all over the house.......sounds like an absolute perfect time to go outside and relax with my kiddos! Today has been a VERY warm day. It probably would be more enjoyable if we didn't know that it would more than likely storm tonight! Carlie didn't go to school today because she was up a lot last night with stomach issues. She never vomited, but she was very nauseated and has had stomach cramps. She hasn't felt bad all day, just off and one. We might be going to the doctor tomorrow p.m. because Sunday night I noticed that she has a little bulge above her belly button, I wasn't concerned about it (really) until her stomach started hurting and she said that it hurt to tough. Maybe it's nothing, but people keep mentioning hernia to me. Please pray that she feels better soon. Also tomorrow is the big day....academic advising. I remember the very first time I was advised (somewhere a
