Azelia, 11 Months

Tomorrow we have had Azelia in our family for 11 months...11!  She is such a wonderful little girl.  She has a sweet personality, loves her sister and brother, is walking (!!), and loves being around people.  She is such a joy!

Pretty girl

Big girl...and she know it!

So proud of herself

Savoring every minute I can with this babe!

Sleeping babe, look at those cheeks!

Full of life and joy

5 Years

On May 23rd, Jarrod and I celebrated 5 years of marriage.  5!  Time sure has flown!  Looking back I'm so thankful for the wisdom of my parents.  The way my dad had Jarrod wait to ask to court me until he was sure he wanted to marry me.  The way my parents blessed our marriage.  Before I got married, Dad took me for a special Father/Daughter trip.  We went to NYC and did special things like eat out, see a Broadway show, take a carriage ride through the city and talk about anything and everything.  I so valued that trip and the investment in it that my dad made.  Honoring your parents blesses not only them, but it blesses you too! 

Engaged!

Married!

Along the way we bought a house

and had three kids

I can't wait to see what else God has in store for us!  It's been an exciting and fun 5 years being married to Jarrod!

Kyla turned 2 on June 8th and I'm just getting around to blogging about it!

My little girl is such a blessing!  She LOVES to help in any way she can and especially if it concerns Azelia.  Anything Azelia could need or want, Kyla is happy to run and get it for her!  If Azelia needs a nuk and Kyla doesn't see one around her, she will grab the nuk from her own mouth and give it to Azelia.  It may not seem like much, but Kyla loves her nuk!  That one action is a selfless action that I love seeing!  This girl is determined, a little helper, sweet and quiet unless she has something to say.  Then she's the loudest person in the house!  I am so blessed by this sweet girl and am so thankful she is my daughter!
