"They will know us by our love"

(This is a random bunch of pics)
Last week it was SO pretty outside. We enjoyed alot of playing outside, I even left the back door open so the kids could run in and out-they had a grand ol' time! The kids are loving to play dress up these days. Yes even my boy, he has a pirate and a cowboy to choose from, ha!
Ever seen a pirate playing tball? Here ya go!
 And  a princess with a paci running the bases! :)
 Cade cracks me up with his feet up lounging in his car! He probably thinks if he gets up Tatum with get in and drive off, because that's what happens, ha! But really I think the priss here is coming to tell me in her own cute little jibberish that she wants in with Cade as she holds up her dress to walk through the grass. hehe!

Saturday morning Cade asked to make a tent, I love how random and fun he is! We are reading the cars book here, Cade has asked Jon and I to read it so much to him in the last week that he has each page memorized word for word and he says he can read it now. I do have to say he's got it down pretty good!  
 Saturday night I met up with my lovely college friends to celebrate Michelle's birthday! We had a deelish dinner at Bj's and wonderful company together! Mich and Jen are just 2 months away from having their little girls, so cannot wait to meet them! :) Looking good mamma's!
 Yesterday it was pouring down rain, like really torrential downpour...the kids and I were soaked but that didn't stop them from having a blast in the grocery store....we just had to have a few essential items yesterday!
 We heard a new song at church on Sunday (well new to me) "By our love" and I have had it in my head ever since we left church. I was singing it to Tatum today at home while we ate lunch and she grabbed my hand and smiled as I sang it to her. I love her so much!
Listen to it here:
 This song is something I want to truly live out and teach the kids...how awesome would it be for them to grow up with others knowing them by their love-love for Christ, love for others....
 Kristy reading Cade's cars book to 3 babies, one in the belly-Gentry, Cade, and Gage all sitting in her lap, ha! :) What a trooper mamma!
 I've said I am going to let Tatum go to school with Cade in the fall, that means I won't have these girly lunches with her twice a week as an only child, so i am soaking up all the fun times with my girl this semester before she grows up alot and starts preschool!
 Pretty day for a picnic!
 I promised Kenzie a fun outing to get her nails done over Christmas break....so we did just that! I went to pick her up, just her, she was so cute waiting for me at the door all dressed up. I asked her if she wanted a special treat while we were out and her request was "skiddles" she is easy to please!
 We went two places-both places I was told "your daughter looks just like you" ha! Love this little girl! :)
 And I will leave you with this pic. This might be my new favorite pic of the kids. I hope this is what they look like when they are 14 and 16 (and really if you do the math they will be 15 and 16 and one point, wow) in their real car. Well maybe they won't need to sit that close b/c seat belts are not that close, but I hope they love each other this much then and forever! They are SO sweet together and I am loving being a mommy to them!
