Life in the fast lane...

Sooo, we had Corbin's 7th birthday party at Amazing Jakes. It was in fact...AMAZING!

Daddy took Taya on her very first Go-Cart ride.

Her beautiful, silky blonde hair was blowing in the wind as they rounded the corners, she was telling Matt "faster, faster, faster"

The boys went to head-to-head in Bumper cars-they were precious!

Matt and Ethan tried their luck at rock climbing-Ethan was not afraid at all and the hunky hubby looked right at home and very nice.

All in all, it was a great day and a good time was had by all:-)

Simplicity

I used to think that the most fulfilling life was one of adventure, purpose, and uniformity. Then, I got married, had babies and became a woman(still working on this one). I now realize, thanks to my husbands unwavering devotion to the "simple things" in life, that the most precious, priceless moments are those that you can't and don't prepare for. Moments that just happen.....and in that moment, you realize there is nowhere else you would rather be. You are at peace right where you are. It has taken many years to get there, but I am there.

I see God's grace when I look into my daughter's eyes and at 2 yrs old, she tells me I am her best friend-when I hear my 8 year old son reading so softly to his younger brother and when my 7 yr old son, for no reason at all, tells me he loves me.

THESE are the moments that I live for and THIS is the most fulfilling life!
