logan's painting

I'm thinking about using this picture for Logan's painting that my talented sister in law is going to do (once I ask her) to finish off my threesome of blondies.  I just love his shaggy hair in this one and his adorable little round faced smile.

 He's not wearing a red shirt like the other two were but I'm hoping without too much trouble she can just paint it red instead of brown and orange.

water table

The weather is warming up and the summer toys are coming down.  This water table/sink was Connor's first birthday present and all three fellas were excited to see it again.

pizza

So someone is a big fan of pizza now.

soccer trophy

Connor had his last mini revs practice last night.  They played red light green light then had their pizza party and got their soccer trophies.  Connor was beyond excited to get his first trophy!

sunday song

May the mind of Christ, my Savior,
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and power controlling
All I do and say.

May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power.

May the peace of God my Father
Rule my life in everything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.

May the love of Jesus fill me
As the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing,
This is victory.

May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.

May His beauty rest upon me,
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.

week alone

Zach got the chance to go to a conference in Denver for five days last week which left me alone with the boys.  It was, surprisingly, a great week.  I actually slept well at night which is a first since usually if I'm alone I automatically assume monsters are hiding under my bed and in my closet.  I also, in order to keep my mind occupied on something besides the monsters, made a major dent in my spring cleaning list.  Most of those things were parts of the house that no one but me would notice but I am noticing and it makes me happy :)

I can say, however, that I'm glad travel is not a part of his job because God did not create me to be alone that much.  There's only so long you can go without starting to talk to yourself and then you just feel crazy ;) 

I wanted to share some pictures he took in Colorado.  Since I had to convince him to take his camera with him I take 90% of the credit for these photos.  Obviously that is fair.  He hasn't edited them yet so hopefully he forgives me for sharing his unfinished work.
