Keeping up....for Sanities sake!

So, last week the unthinkable happened to a family in our community- a mom turned left in front of an 18 wheeler and her five year old boy was killed and her two older girls have very serious head trauma. I grieved for their family all week last week, but what has gotten me the most is thinking of my own family and how every moment is special and precious. And the fact that my kids will only be this young today. Tomorrow they will be a little older. Days are not guaranteed, only the moment you are in right now. So, I have done some reflecting and a lot of crying over the last week.

When I was pregnant with Sawyer I was really angry and I let that reflect in all aspects of my life and also onto my children. I feel like I missed a whole year of their childhood. I barley remember anything from July 2012 to March 2013. I don't want to forget what it was like when they were little. Good grief, Cait will be in middle school in August and I can barely fathom where the last 11 years have gone.

So.... My goal is to write in my journal the very personal things and try my darndest to keep up with the fun things on this blog. Nothing is too small to blog about, sorry if you get bored but I can't forget these moments.

Caitlin is the best four leaf clover finder....EVER! She has found so many, and she just sees them, she doesn't even have to look that hard.

Bean has cute little feet in his cute little flip flops :)

David saved this turtle a couple of weeks ago. We were fishing at the dam and saw this little guy on it's back and he had a hook in his mouth. So my sweet husband works hard and gets the hook out and takes cute little thing back down to the water. Awe!

Lake Guntersville we love you! It is so pretty there and it is so big, we haven't even seen half I am sure. The kids loved the "beach" and for the second day of May it was actually very warm, yay Alabama spring! But look at Buddy in the back ground of the first picture, he had barley gotten in and it looks like it wasn't as warm as he was hoping for.

Sweets CeCe's yogurt just because I'm cool like that.

Beans loves trains! Dave and I wanted to have a picnic lunch for our weekly lunch date so we went to the train park and lucky us a train came by. Bean was completely fascinated. 

Just a few of the silly things this kids does on a regular basis.

Well, this post wasn't meant to be all about Bean, but apparently I love to take pictures of the kid. Note to self- take more pictures of the other kids.

Wait here's a good one that has us all in it...

Good night, y'all.
