Graduating!

Jeremiah is finally graduating to his big boy crib! Doesn't he just look so excited! He has been having to stay with us for awhile because we were hosting GO ministries and then we had family come into town so he was unable to stay in his room. So, now that we are done hosting our friends and family our little one is graduating up to his own room! To be honest, this is kind of hard for me because I love this little guy so much and I would love for him to stay with us but I know this will be the best thing for all of us!

Baking Cookies

We were making sugar cookies for Easter last weekend and Matthew decided he wanted to consume lots of the dough! He also added his own little saying out of nowhere (refer to video)! What a little cutie he is.

Learning tools

Lately, Jeremiah gets read a book almost every night. He has become so interested in it. It seems as if he digests everything that is in each page, studying it intently. We have been reading him books like, " What Happens When I Talk to God" and "In Him Confessions." Also, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?" as well as others. We like every parent I am sure, want him to be so intelligent. We are really working with him even though he is so young. We even watched a Baby Einstein sign language video with him and we did the signs to him. He just observed us. I love how children can take everything in and eventually they will do it as well. Watching Jeremiah has reminded me how important it is to live our lives out according to the word because everything we do will effect our children. Just like Jeremiah lies back and so eagerly watches our every move and listens to us reminds me of how we need to be with God. We need to eagerly heed his word and listen to what he has to say to us. Having a child makes me realize what child like faith is really about. They trust you with everything.

Praise the Lord

Tonight, I finished my last and final test for school! I am officially done! I do not have to write any more papers or take any more tests! I can finally start concentrating on our church's daycare/preschool! I am so excited for it to start up! I want those little kids to know who God is and how to flow in his presence. I want to teach them how to be led by the Spirit. I of course, also want them to have the top educational experience they can possibly have. In honor of this momentous occasion my loving husband took Jeremiah and I out for a little ice cream treat! Thank you so much honey! I want to give God all the glory for being finished with my bachelor's degree. I also want to thank Jakey for allowing me time to work on all my school work for the past two years that we have been married. Praise the Lord! I am excited to see what God has in store!

Mid Morning Snack

This morning I was giving a mid morning snack to Matthew. Jeremiah was sitting next to him and all of a sudden Matthew said, "Jeremiah has big cheeks!" A few minutes later I said, "Matthew, what did you say about Jeremiah's cheeks?" He replied, "chunky, chunky!" Little kids sure are honest! Jeremiah does have some chunky cheeks!

Beautiful Weather

Jeremiah woke up from his nap today and was kinda whinny. Since it was a beautiful day outside I decided to bring Jeremiah for a short walk to our mailbox. The second we stepped outside the door he stopped crying. It was amazing. Then, when we came back inside he started crying again. I brought him out to the backyard and once again he stopped crying. I guess my little buddy is an outdoors man! That will be so nice for this summer when we are gardening and wanting to play outside!
