It was fun to spread out Christian's birthday, especially since it is so overwhelming when you are opening all the presents as once. So, we let him open the ones we already had throughout the day. I am a fan of Melissa and Doug toys. They are all wood, usually come with some sort cool holder to keep all the pieces in(which is really why I like them), and they are not electronic. Everything they have is self-led pretend play. We have tons of food for the kitchen(thanks Dad), and puzzles(thanks Nanny), instruments(thanks Grammy) and the kids just love them. Davis and Carson sent Christian the grill set for his birthday and Callie the cookie set for her birthday which is a big hit. We have misplaced one cookie somewhere in this house, and I have to say that drives me nuts. There will be a prize for whoever finds it. Daddy was trying to show him how to put the food on the skewer, and C was trying to show Daddy how they made great drum sticks. Boys will be boys, I guess.

I am just a girl trying to matter to God, my husband, my kids, family and friends. Sometimes I hop two steps forward and crawl one step back or even have to make a twirl to get back on track. But, I hope to give more than I take and have some fun along the way. Stop by for a couple of dances and cut in when you can.
I met Gregg when I was 17 and have been madly in love with him ever since. He is selfless, works really hard, and will do anything for anyone. He really is “that” nice all the time and he makes me a better person. He loves anything outdoors and runs like Forrest any chance he gets. He makes a mean bbq, dances with the kids to Elmo, and leaves cards for us to find all over the house. He is everything I could have ever dreamed of, and I am so proud to be his wife.
Mr. Christian has bluest eyes and is full of life. He is “all boy” and jumps from one adventure to the next. He loves trains, watermelon, and his blankie. He is polite, kind, and has tons of charisma with his little grin. He is a great big brother and gives in to girls more than they deserve. He is Daddy’s little buddy and the joy of my heart.
Miss Callie is everything I ever dreamed up in a little girl. She is about everything and everybody and never sits still. She loves all things girly, babies, mommy’s cell phone, pink, and her pillow. She has a laugh that starts in her toes and will melt you with her smile. She dances through our house in princess dresses with a pen and pad in her hand. She is mama’s little helper and Daddy’s Sweet Pea.
Cate is the icing on the cake. God knew she would be the perfect compliment to our family. She loves necklaces, animals, and her loveys. She has just enough girly to hang with Callie at her tea parties, but already shows a special bond with her big brother loving his superheros. She is a typical third child getting whatever she wants with those deep dimples of hers.
