ONE

I've been dreading this day for a year now. Today he is ONE! Click HERE to read Micah's crazy birth story! We love our little monkey so very much! He's added much laughter, joy and noise to our little family! These are some pics we took last week...party pics to come soon!

 

And just for kicks, a couple of pics from one year ago...

Purple Stride 5K

Aaron's step-mom was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Obviously, this came as a total shocker and has really been heavy on our hearts and minds. We know that God is the Great Physician and we are putting our faith in his perfect plan! A few weeks ago, I stumbled across the Purple Stride 5K on Facebook. This is a fun run and 5K to help raise funds to further advanced research, support patients and create hope for those affected by pancreatic cancer. Although I am not in the best shape right now, I knew I wanted our family to participate in this! I wanted ALL 5 of us to run this...not only to help support this wonderful cause, but to also help our "Eg" know how much she is loved and prayed for by her family! :)

 OK, so the boys didn't exactly run...

 

 

 A good ole' fashion leaf fight after the run...

 Our sweet friends, Justin & Tamara, who also happened to be running in the 5K

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Surprise Camping Trip

If you've hung around our boys for any length of time, you know that they love to play pretend camping...especially Landon! With the beautiful, very un-fall like, weather we've had recently we decided to surprise the boys with a real camping trip one night! We went to Tyler and stayed in a little cabin. They boys had a great time. While I enjoyed spending time with all my boys, I did seem to look over the fact that Micah is crawling now and into EVERYTHING...and EVERYTHING goes into his mouth. So, out in nature, there's not much place to set him down. Meaning, I had to hold him a lot, or he had to be strapped in a stroller. He's not real big on being "held down" these days now that he is mobile and ready to explore everything!

This is a video of us telling Landon about the camping trip after picking him up from school! Love his reaction!

 

 

See what I mean...he's not loving the "cage"

 

Chow time...

The boys loved finding neat (and some un-usual) things in nature!

 We went for a paddle-boat ride...I'm not sure why, but I'm pretty sure the only one who enjoyed it was me!
