Chase Turns 8

WOW! I can't believe how fast the past 8 years have flown by! It doesn't seem possible that our first born is now 8 years old. He is such a wonderful child and we are so proud of him. He celebrated his birthday with 5 of his friends. We took them bowling and then came back to our house for pizza, cake, pinata and lots of fun! They had such a good time. Chase decided this year that he wanted an all boys party...no girls allowed. Well that was a little bit of a problem with his 2 younger sisters! He was a good sport and was ok with them coming. We also let Caleb invite his friend Grant to come. It's amazing to watch how big Chase is becoming . He is such a sweet handsome boy and we are so proud to be his parents. I look forward to the upcoming year to see how much he grows and matures.

A MUCH NEEDED GET-A-WAY

I just got home from a Beautiful Feet Women's Conference in Jackson,Tn. It was so inspiring! I have come to realize that I am were I am in my life because that is where God wants me to be. I have made some bad choices along the way and have lost friends. I wish I could do some things over again. I may not can change the past but I can pray for the future. I have been praying for God to mend these broken relationships if it His will. I have a whole new outlook on life. I am looking forward!! I am excited about all the new changes God has brought into my life and I am excited about growing more as a Christian.

Chloe's Surgery

Chloe's surgery went well today. She wasn't a happy camper when we got there! She put up a good fight:) She was asleep in no time. She is at home and doing well...she has been pretty ill this afternoon. She just woke up from a long nap so we'll see. Thanks to everyone who called or came by. We really appreciate it. Please be praying for the results to come back good. We should know something Monday or Tuesday. Thanks so much!

Please be praying for Chloe on Thursday. She will be having oupatient surgery to remove a mole and the skin around it. It is pretty much basic procedure but it's always hard to have your "baby" put to sleep. We know she will be in God's hands and that he will protect her. Please pray for the results to come back with a good report. The dr. is concerned that it might be cancerous. Again, we know that God will protect our little girl no matter what. Thanks for all the prayers.

Love In Christ,
Christy

Carly's New Hair Cut

One of the things I used to love about Carly the most was her long curly hair. Notice that I said used to! She decided about a week ago that she didn't want to have pony tails or hair bows anymore. So instead of taking a nap like she was supposed to she was in her room playing beauty shop. She cut all of her long curls off! Yes...I cried like a baby! She actually did a good job and it does look cute on her. It makes her look a little bit more grown up. She absolutely loves it!! I don't know...maybe she has already decided her career!

My Baby Is Turning 3!

Where does the time go? It just seems like yesterday that we were welcoming Chloe Faith Reynolds into this world and now she is turning three!! It's so amazing how fast they grow up. I remember the day she was born...so beautiful and today she is still so beautiful to me. She has the biggest personality for such a little girl. She is always so happy and full of joy. Always smiling! I pray that she will always be this happy. She is such a joy and I am so blessed to be her mommy!

My Granny

Today has been a day that I have needed for awhile. My granny passed away almost two months ago. She was more than just my granny...she was more like my mom. She was always there for me when it seemed like no one else was. I haven't really dealt with her passing until today. The girls layed down for a nap and Todd and the boys were gone so I decided it was time. I sat on my bed and cried for what seemed like hours. I have a bag of some of her things that I went through. I know she is in a far better place but I still miss talking to her every Sunday afternoon. That was our day to talk. She always knew what to say. She was a very Godly woman who loved the Lord. I will always be grateful for her.
