Gender Reveal...The Thanksgiving Edition

 I have to start off by saying the Good Lord decided to bless us once again with one of his angels for Jared and I to raise. I can't tell you how humbling that is first off. From all the parents in the world he choose us two....I sometimes question my abilities as a parent to be able to care for one more being but am reminded that God never makes mistakes and this was HIS plan all along. At the end I am HIS and I just want to do HIS will. Yes we are excited but also nervous...I mean we already have a 2 year old, 3 1/2 year old, 5 year old AND a teen!! I know our loving creator never gives us more than what we can't handle. I am in awe of his continuous blessings over our lives- sometimes it feels like we don't deserve so much grace but yet HE pours it over us....No words....

Trunk-Or-Treat 2014

Moving right along from Denyce's Birthday to Halloween. This year was our first Trunk-Or-Treat at church. I personally loved it and hope our church will continue this tradition. I felt so much safer to let the kids roam around in our church's parking lot verses worrying about them if we were out in the streets. There were some many creative cars with different themes passing out candy and prizes. We got to see so many awesome costumes too! And Denyce got to hang out with her friends from church. 

We weren't sure at first what we wanted to be for Halloween but Denyce was set on using her giraffe one piece she had previously ordered online. I tried to convince her for another costume but her mind was set. So I thought, okay how about all the kids go as little animals too. I was lucky enough to find a cute pink bunny for Bri, a silly monkey costume for my youngest and a handsome dino for Eli. The best part was the material-super soft and extra warm. All the costumes came with hoodies which was perfect and a chilly, windy night. I decided to paint my face and of course Jared wanted to wear his Jason mask (think I'm going to throw that ugly thing away...shhh) 

After the kids filled their buckets, we laid on the lawn and watched a movie outside on the projector. And had snacks the church provided. All in all, we all enjoyed ourselves.  :)
