Because sharing is fun....

This last week I have been switching out summer clothes for winter clothes, and as I was washing and folding to put it all away, I was overwhelmed with gratitude for all the clothes passed our way!! Nesta, Heather, and Rhonni, have and are keeping my girls clothed. Thank you guys for passing down the love. I can literally count on one hand the things I have "had" to buy my girls, because we can always make hand me downs work:)) And the giving does not stop her they will continue to clothe Lyric and Harper and whoever after that!! Thanks for being willing to share, because free is good and sharing is fun!!!

Pictures for fun!!

A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves - a special kind of double. ~Toni Morrison




















*Disclaimer- if you are looking at these and thinking wow she can not edit, I was not trying to just thought the lower saturation looked cool! I am not and do not claim to be a photographer!! although I would love a new camera!!

Little moments!

My heart melts as a mom when i walk in and they have decided to cuddle up together, I guess these little moments make up life.







They would run and jump into the swings laughing and giggling!

My Sister, My Friend

in this post there are two sets of pictures, that hugely represents to different people, in the first pictures I was newly married and moved away, Summer was still in high school. I say all of that to say that if I could sit and right down the events between the older pics and the newer ones, the events, the relationships, the girl, the life, between those two times, we became different, we became grown up, living adult lifes. Neither of us knowing how our story would unfold or what the outcome would be, but we did know two things. That God knew our stories, even the screwed up part, and the second thing was that we had each other as long as God would allow. We have gotten married, graduated, had babies, had open heart surgery on one of those babies, we have failed, we have succeeded, we have changed, and most importantly we have grown. Thank you Summie, even though you did not get to choose me, I am grateful that God chose you for me!! He has been good to us and may we not forget to thank, love and continue to grow in Him daily.


Please note that in the top picture on the right we had no idea it started taking the picture, hence our midsections then we sat down in the three seconds it gave us and then we just improvised:)

This was our first ever camping trip and it was SOOOOO AMAZING!! I love to camp and this is something I really wanted the girls to grow up do and love!! We had smores, a guess who competition, did some hiking, and also didn't shower for three days. The girls were covered in dirt but they had so much fun!! Those two nights by the camp fire were like what I had always dremed of having a family would be like! It was a living dream for me :) Thanks babe for making this trip happen for me!
