Flashback Friday: Happy 3rd Birthday!
Happy 3rd Birthday Girls!
Today’s Flashback Friday goes back to 2008 for the girls 3rd birthday! We did a Garden & Bug theme for this birthday party. It was neat seeing them getting excited as we decorated for the birthday party. They had a blast! It is amazing how quickly they are growing up.
The family is ready to celebrate at their 3rd birthday party! WooHoo!
Grandma Kay made the delicious birthday cakes for the girls. Brina had a bumble bee, Karlie had a ladybug, and the big cake was a flower garden. They looked adorable! Jake’s Mom makes some amazing cakes!
Brina and Karlie with Grandma Kay right before the birthday party!
Watching the candles as the guests sing Happy Birthday! So excited!
Checking out the candles and their cakes!
Karlie eating little bits while Brina digs right now!
Brina’s ready for clean up…I think it’s Jake turn to hose her down, ha!
Karlie eating her cake and enjoying the fun!
Snacking on their yummy party food!
When they were little we pulled the cooler up the counter so they could stand on it and “help” us cook. Food is ready now the party can begin!
Opening their birthday gifts!
Beautiful SC Sunrise
Gorgeous Sunrise!
The kids and I enjoyed this beautiful sunrise earlier this week. It’s not every day we see these great sunrises in South Carolina. Our drive to school was perfectly timed with the sunrise on this special morning.
Thankful for a chance to share this with my kids. All of us were glad that we got stopped at the stoplight that morning so we could soak in the beauty around us. It’s the little treasures throughout each day such as a beautiful sunrise that remind us of the many blessings in our lives.
What a great way to start a new day!

Kids in the Kitchen: Cupcake Pops on a Stick
Blue Raspberry Cupcake Pop anyone?
The kids were baking up a storm in the kitchen the other day. They put together these delicious blue raspberry cupcake pops. Thankfully for kids who enjoy spending time in the kitchen cooking. Now if I could get them to spend more time cleaning up their cooking messes. They do clean up some, it’s just not always a thorough, but they are getting better!
Some of the delicious cupcake pops they made!
The sprinkles had a blue raspberry flavor which made these extra tasty!
Song: You Lead by Jamie Grace
There are times when I feel like I have be in control of the circumstances in my life….usually this doesn’t work out well for me because God usually has different plans for me. Much better plans actually than I have for myself! When I let go of my agenda, personal calendar, or whatever I want to call it that day and let him lead me it is amazing what can be accomplished. Thankfully, he11 is very patient with me. It is my prayer that all of will allow him lead us in our thoughts, words, and actions not only today, but everyday of our lives here on earth.
I’ve got waves that are tossin’ me,
Crashin’ all over my beliefs,
And in all sincerity, Lord,
I wanna be yours,
So pull me out of this mess I’m in,
Cause I know I’m wanderin’
Lead my soul back home again,
I’ve always been yours,And this world may push, may pull,
But your love it never fails,You lead, I’ll follow, Your hands hold my tomorrow,
Your grip, Your grace, You know the way,
You guide me tenderly,
When you lead, I’ll follow,
Just light the way and I’ll go,
Cause I know what you got for me is more than I can see,
So lead me on, on, on and on,
Just lead me on, on, on and on,As a child I heard your voice,
But as a girl I made my choice,
There is no other way for me,
I’m devoted to you,
You’re my peace on the heavy days,
You’re the warmth of an autumn blaze,
Your love carries me away,
And it’s never too soon, no…Happy 10th Birthday Brina & Karlie! We Love You!
Happy Birthday Brina & Karlie!
Wishing our two beautiful daughters a very special 10th birthday! Today is a bitter sweet day. They now in the double digits which feels like such a big step in them growing up. We are so excited to be celebrating our twin daughters 10th birthday, but at the same time we are in shock that they could be turning 10 already. The time has gone by way too fast and our babies are growing up!
Thankful for these two amazing blessings in our life. There is not a day that goes by that we do not thank God for giving us these two precious gifts. God has richly blessed our lives with these sweethearts.
Brina and Karlie both fill our home with excitement, laughter, and a lot of fun activity. While they were born on the same day they could not be more different. Thankful for the gifts and talents God has given each one. Brina has a big heart for animals and Karlie has dreams of one day blasting off into space! We are proud of them and look forward to watching them grow up into beautiful young ladies.
Praying that God will continue to work in their hearts and lives this year as well as give us wisdom as parents in raising them. Wishing them a year packed for awesome memories, growth, good health, and so much more! Happy 1oth Birthday Brina and Karlie! We LOVE you more than you can imagine!!! Hope your birthday is truly OUT OF THIS WORLD!
We LOVE you!!!

Package Full of Goodies
My cousin knows us well….the perfect tasty, practical, and fun gifts!
We recently received an AMAZING package from my sweet cousin Renelle! It was packed full awesome items for all of us! The girls were super excited to open it. They were very impressed with how much she was able to fit into the box. Lots of “Ohhs…Ahhhs…” throughout the unpacking process, followed by “Wow, Aunt Renelle is so creative!”
Renelle was the closet “sister” I had growing up in a family with 3 brothers. We had a lot of fun hanging out over the summers and various Holidays during our childhood years. Unfortunately, now that we are older and many more miles apart we don’t get to see each other as often as we like. We try to get together as often as possible and thankfully we are able to stay in touch regularly throughout the year.
The package arrived packed full! So exciting!
Going through Aunt Ren’s goody package and reading all the instructions!
Jellyfish air plant! So cool!
Putting the dirt in the pots for their plants!
Enjoying all the fun goodies from the box!
Awesome name tags for the furry critters – Snowball, Skipper, and Oreo!
Beautiful key chain rings for the girls! They were super excited to put these on their book bags for school!
Always love a delicious chocolate bar!
Super fun Face Paint craft for the girls! Love it – even if that means I have to be the canvas at times!
Bread N’ Boards – the person who made this cutting board, Sears Trostel (a locally owned custom wood shop) donates their proceeds from the sale of this item to a local Food Bank in Larimer County, Colorado! Such a cool way to help those in need in the local community. I love the cutting board!
Amazing White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Coffee – freshly roasted in Fort Collins, Colorado by Jackie’s Java! Delicious!
Ren’s famous homemade Peach Raspberry Jam (it’s AWESOME) and a new flavor of hers I haven’t tried before, but is yummy too – Grape Apple Jam!
Gorgeous plant clippings from Ren’s plants! So far I have been able to keep them alive! So cool!
Some of the amazing items in our package! Thanks Ren! Including a cutting board, cutting more oil, body scrub, local coffee, homemade jam, and more!
Now we are ready for our next pedicure with scented polish and pebble picture crafts for girls night!
Hanging jellyfish air plant! The girls call it the “Wild Hair Day” plant!
