Funny video from back in the day

I came across this short video of the girls from several months back. I heard them playing in the room and got excited b/c I realized that we were starting to phase into being able to play together without mommy having to be there, too. So, I ran and got the camera and peeked in....and this is what proceeded to happen.

So started looking through pictures from the last YEAR and was overwhelmed with all the fun happenings they all represented. I decided to start with this picture of Josie from last summer. Josie, Kaiya, and I flew out to Boulder to visit Amanda and her clan. Josie LOVES her cousins so much. She talks about them everyday....no joke. This picture is funny to me because we took the kids to a "fair." This "ride" was $5 for about 2 minutes. Parker and Will really wanted to do it, so Josie decided she did as well. Josie NORMALLY would freak at the thought of doing anything remotely close to this, so I discouraged her from the "I wanna do it" bandwagon b/c I knew that she holds special place in Uncle Chris' heart and he would pay any amount of money to see her get a thrill like this. My fear was that he would pay this money, then when it was her turn she would panic and the expensive ride would be wasted. Well, little faith I had in my girl. She barely passed the weight limit and the nice guys running the ride were highly impressed with her bravery.

Has it really been a year and a half since my last post?!

It is an understatement that I am really bad at blogging (more like journaling to me) updates about our life. I seriously need to recommit to keeping this updated. SO MUCH has happened in the last 8 months and over the next few blogs I will attempt to go back in time and tell the story of God's sovereignty over our family. For now, I just want to posts some recent pics from Easter and other fun times.
