Life Lately

I am terrible at updating on the small things... and well, the big things too. I haven't even found time to write in baby books so this is all I have, therefore, I MUST get better at updating! I already love going back a couple of years and reading about what was going on. I'm going to try to post every Monday so that I don't miss so much.

Anyway, life lately has been crazy crazy busy!! Thank God I'm a super organized person or I would be drowning. My planner looks pretty intense right now. Sunday's we have church (best part of my week) and then we have church again, which lately has been lasting until 9:00 at  night because we are practicing for our worship arts drama for Easter. It is going to be A-mazing!!! Then, Monday is just a Monday in general - hectic, and now Christian has soccer practice Monday evenings too. Tuesday is soccer, Wednesday is church, Thursday I have class, Friday is my one uncommitted day to anything but work and family time, and then Saturday's are soccer games! Whew. This is us only having one kid in one sport. I can not imagine what life will look like in 2-3 years but THANKFULLY I will NOT be in grad school then. Whoohoooo!!

Christian and Harrison are literally growing up before our eyes. They surprise me every day with something new and I can't seem to get over how fast they are changing. Christian is just his own little person now with a mind of his own. It makes me realize more and more how important this parenting job is and how we are molding them into the person they will become. We have been very intentional about sharing God with him. He's starting to ask a lot of questions and make comments that help us want to be better and live better. We are the image he sees right now of how he is suppose to act and that is a huge responsibility. One that I'm very happy and blessed to have.

Christian has started soccer and love it. He doesn't so much love playing against other kids though... haha! He really likes the idea of kicking the ball around and kicking it into the goal - which he's really good at, but he doesn't like the scrimmaging part at all. I think this is because he's on a team with older boys that are much bigger than him and it's intimidating. He's my sweet little shy spirit and I think that is just a little much for him. Harrison on the other hand is dying to get out there! lol

Harrison is learning, learning, learning! I can't believe how much he talks now. He seriously can tell us anything now and we have regular conversations with him. Crazy. He knows a lot of colors, how to count, he's singing his ABC'S with me (which is the cutest thing ever), and he's obsessed with riding the lawn mower with daddy. They both love to be outside all the time and they fight over who gets to mow with him. They love playing on their swingset and they have been pretending lately that they are super heros while swinging on their stomachs. It is soo precious.

Christian is loving school. Today is picture day and he wanted to pick out his clothes. It just about killed me because I'm pretty controlling like that. lol I gave him options and he of course picked the one color that I'm not super fond of - orange. But he looked like a little doll in it. :) His Easter egg hunt and party is Thursday and I'm excited about it! I never knew just how much I would love being a mom... It truly gets better and better. And yes, we get asked all the time IF we are going to have another...... The answer is who knows?? We don't, but I know God does. I will say, if we choose to it will be in His timing (which I'm praying is after I get Christian in school and maybe Harrison too.. lol)! :) Right now we are perfectly content with our family of four. <3







 I am so proud of this man and blessed to be his wife!!


And yes, there are way more pictures of Christian because Harrison NEVER stands still long enough to get a picture! All of his pictures are little blurs... lol
