We celebrated Zane's 8th birthday today. I can't believe that it has been 8 years since Blake and I became parents. He brought us so much joy to us the day he was born, and he has continued to bring us much happiness. He has such a sweet spirit. He loves school - favorite subjects are science, computers, and reading. He is an excellent speller, reads extremely well (on a upper 4th grade level), and is learning how to free draw. I love how he plays with his younger brother and sister. He is such a good big brother, helping us out by watching them, playing with them, and protecting them. We are so blessed to call him our son and I pray that he has a great year, and many more birthdays to follow!
He woke me up before 6AM this morning with a big smile on his face and announced "It's my birthday!" He loves celebrating birthdays, especially his. He took mini cinnamon rolls to school to share with his classmates and I brought McDonalds lunch to him at school. He requested breakfast for his birthday dinner so Blake fixed pancakes, eggs, potatoes, bacon, and brownies for dessert. He received numerous phone calls from family members and was excited that so many people called to talk to him. It really made his day special.
What a great day! Happy Birthday Zane! We love you buddy!!!!

It's been awhile!
I have not updated our blog in quite some time and I really regret that I have missed posting some really great things happening in our family. I am staying incredibly busy with the kids, housework, my job, and well LIFE in general. By the time I have a free minute to sit down and update the blog, I am basically too tired and either want to go to bed or just relax and watch t.v. with my love! So I will give a shortened version of what has been happening in our world - a Family of Five!
Blake and I have been busy with work. He is working a couple days a week in Houston and he absolutely loves his job as a firefighter. I am so happy that he has a job that he truly enjoys. On the side, he is learning the A/C business and making some extra money on his days off. This keeps him very busy and tired! I am so thankful to have a husband who works so hard to provide for his family. I enjoy my job as well and could not imagine being in any other job. My supervisor, co-workers and the faculty/staff and students in my department are a joy to work with. Even though I would give anything to be home with my babies every day, I am thankful to have a job that provides for our needs and one that I can enjoy going to everyday.
Zane, our firstborn, is growing up so fast! I cannot believe he will be 8 years old this week. He is such a delight and is a great big brother. He loves his big brother role and is a big help to us. He is doing so well in school and this year in 2nd grade he has had 2 report cards with straight A's! He loves reading, science, and computers and has just recently taken an interest in free drawing. He has lost 3 teeth since May and has a couple that are loose. He is active in his church choir, tone chimes, RA's, and baseball so he keeps us busy...we cannot imagine what it will be like when we will have all 3 kids participating in activities!
Kade, our middle child, is a very strong-willed little boy who will be turning 3 in a few months. He challenges us as parents, but he is such a loving little boy who is constantly seeking our praise. He loves sports more than any 2 year old I know. He will ask to watch football and baseball on t.v. and even prefers sports over cartoons a lot of times. He is happiest if someone is playing ball with him or when he is cuddling and rocking with us. The boys share a room with bunkbeds, but Kade always seems to convince Zane to sleep on the bottom bunk with him and we always find them with their arms wrapped around each other. So sweet!
Macy, our baby girl, is such a joy and truly completes our family. I am so happy that we are blessed with a baby girl and I look forward to building the mother and daughter relationship with her that me and my mom have. The boys adore her and she laughs and plays with them all the time. She is 14 months old and picks up on things so quickly. She loves to imitate her brothers and has started saying so many words! She is definitely more talkative and vocal than either of her brothers were at this age. She loves cats and will call them to her and just squeal with delight. She has also started interacting with her baby dolls. It so much fun to watch her play with them.
I hope to update the blog on a more regular basis. I enjoyed doing it at the beginning and really wish that I would have been more consistent. Oh, well. I will give it another try!
