God loves you!

This week has been Kids Crusade at our church. Its our 10th year and our theme is "Heaven is for Real"....just like the book.  I just finished this book today (it takes just a couple days to read). OMG, what an amazing story this lil' boy has to share! A must read! I couldn't imagine what his parents must of went through during their hard time watching their lil' boy almost die, but then to later find out that he actually got to VISIT Heaven and sit on Jesus' lap! It runs chills all over me! After reading this I hugged up my boys and told them how much I loved them AND how much God loves them. 

He told his parents MANY things about God, Jesus, and Heaven, but he mostly wanted them to understand just how much "God loves children". It say he told them over  and over and over that God really really loves children. As i closed the book i began to pray and thank God for everything, my children's health, for this lil' boy in the book and sharing his story, and those words that God really really loves children stuck with me all day....
I know as a parent I tell my boys all the time "i love you" and i make sure they feel loved daily. BUT, what I fail to do daily is tell them how much God loves them and that he wants them to love him too. Don't get me wrong, I tell them Jesus loves them sometimes and we pray and thank God nightly and tell him (God) we love him in Kolton's bed time prayers, but i don't directly say on a daily basis "God loves you very much, even more than mommy and daddy  loves you"! 
It is my goal as a mom, a pastor's wife, and a Christian to bring up my boys knowing just how much God loves them and he wants them to love him too.

Have any of you read this book?? "Heaven is for Real"

catching up on life part II -Kolton edition-

This year was Kolton's first year playing t-ball, and its was so fun!
Most of the time we were yelling don't play in the sand, run to your base!
It was really funny watching these 3&4 year olds learn to play baseball. Nick was the coach.
We had a great season with such people!

Catching up on life part I -Kolton edition-

Meet Kolton my extremely cute and full of life 1st born!
Seriously this lil' boy is SO MUCH FUN! 
Kolton you will be 4 soon, and i can't believe it! 
Everyday is something new and interesting with him...i love how the mind of a three old works!
Lately we are coming out of our terrible 3's!  Any mom knows this is a great milestone :)

catching up on life part II -korbin edition-

My sweet Korbin is already 11mths old. 
(i still have to add the 11mth photo!)


-I will update this post with the 11 month photo as soon as i upload that picture-
I can't believe next month will be his 1st birthday! 
I am so excited, but sad too...this year has went by TOO FAST.
He is so precious and has the sweetest personality. He has us all wrapped around his finger...even big brother! I am so blessed the boys love each other SO MUCH!!

catching you up! -korbin-

I thought i would do some catching up on life, for myself, to be able to look back at my blog and see some important moments that have already passed (before i started this blog) and journal them just so i could have them on here since they are precious memories too!!! 

I will start back with my  pregnancy #2 pictures
(a quick college will work to get those memories on here!)
.
I had a very typical, "by the book" pregnancy. And I thank God for it! I was sick in the trimester you should be sick, i was energized and happy in the 2nd trimester, and tired in the 3rd. I loved every minute of it...because it meant myself and my baby (Korbin) was moving along just as we should!

WE ALL WERE BEYOND THRILLED TO WELCOME ANOTHER LIL' BOY
TO OUR GROWING FAMILY!!!

Blogging Day one!

So, i've decided to start a blog (other then my lil' business blog). I want to blog for scrapbooking/journaling  purposes...since i don't scrapbook on paper i wanted a place to write about our weekly happenings that i want to remember!! My boys are growing so fast i want to capture each moment and have a place to write it down....where better to than a blo?!?!. I read tons of family blogs...mostly momma's writing about their kids and find lots of inspiration in that! So, here goes.......

Mainly i will be writing about my Krew..(aka my boys, Kolton and Korbin) hence the "K" in krew in my blog address!


Also, our life happenings as a happy family!
