Birthday Babes!

Tonight was Tiny's party. Tons of kids and tons of fun!

Five Year Miracle!

My "Littlest Babe" turned five today. My heart is full. Everything he does is nothing short of a miracle. I was reminded of this yesterday, when I ran into the lady that handled his transport from YRMC to UMC for ECMO. She said she's done many, many transports, but she never forgets an ECMO baby. Their condition is so fragile when they are flown out. Many of them never transport back. We were told he may never walk, eat, hear, or see. This picture says otherwise:

I know he's a lot to handle, and I love it! I thank my Heavenly Father every, single day for giving me this heartful and handful.

Happiest Birthday, Babes!

January Horse Show!

The horse season has begun.

I, of course, had fun with the new camera.

PPP!

Peter Piper is my least favorite place to go, but Bobby and the kids love it. Aunt Vickie treated the kids to PPP for Christmas.

My favorite part of our visits to Triple P is seeing what Tiny can charm out of the person behind the prize counter.

Boundaries!

Since getting new carpet, we don't allow food or drinks in the game room.

I just about tripped over this the other day:

This is right where the tile ends and the carpet begins.

My Baby Bird!

When Sydney was born we called her "Bird" because she would lift her head and bob around looking wide eyed at the world around her. All this happened in the hospital. It was amazing. Everything was amazing from that moment on. Last night (13.5 years later), she walked out ready to go to a 4-H function, I was amazed yet again.

Testing. Testing. 1-2-3.

I was so excited to take the new camera out and test the waters. Too bad the children would not cooperate. Davis, Dane, and Maverick were literally running from the camera. Lino wouldn't smile or make eye contact. The Hull kids avoided me at all cost. I'm turning into my mother!!!

I could post a million pictures of our Christmas, but this is really the only one that matters.
