Monkey, Monkey....One?!

I can hardly believe its already been a year since we met lil Jaida. She turned one year old on May 22nd. We had a small get together that was just perfect for the occasion. We are so greatful to have such wonderful family and friends who love our kids.

Jaida has really never had sugar before this, so she wasn't sure what she thought.....it didn't take long though. I think she loves it!

As with all first birthdays, we were more excited than her.

Glad to have my mom here for the party.

Princess Monkey! She definately know shes a girl. We'd put the crown on her and she'd look at you like "I am soo beautiful!" then she'd rip it off.

Ezra was a very well behaved gracious brother. He even allowed her to have the spot light....till the sugar kicked in.

Later that night! I'm not kidding.

Grass, a rare gift in the OBX.

I thank God for our Grass and my OCD hubby that keeps it sand spur free. A loosing battle but he fights hard. Because we have grass we have fun in the sun in our very own yard. Hear are pics from some of these beautiful days.

Jaida's first bikini, So chubby and cute. Wish those rules applied to me and bikini's. Ezra, forever naked. But sooo happy!

Grandma Judy's Visit

Well it has certainly been a bit since I've posted. A lot has happened so here goes.

My mom came for a 6 week visit. We had an awesome time. All I'll say is God is sooo faithful to bind up the brokenhearted, heal the lame and save the Lost. I have certainly seen this in action in my own life and family. So I just want to thank Him publicly for how far my mom has come through a very difficult time. and I know He is faithful to complete the good work He has begun in her AND us. In our weakness He is Strong! Amen and Praise the Lord!
