<div style="text-align: center;">
The week after Aubrielle's birthday the Kindergarten rollercoaster began.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I was prepared. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to Open House the Thursday before school started & all it took was for me to walk through the school doors for me to loose it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like the ugly cry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I managed to pull it together enough to make it to her classroom & meet her teacher but I could hardly talk because everyone knows that talking while trying not to cry just makes you cry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The good thing is that by loosing it on Thursday meant that Monday morning was much better!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I held it all in until Bferg & I walked out of the school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aubrielle was<i> SO </i>excited & <i>SO </i>ready & that combination <i>SO </i>helped this Mommy!</div>

We are on the last day of the 5th week of school & she is still just as excited to go everyday! She is making good friends, loving learning & we can already see her maturing in life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I'm not going to lie...on the days when she stops at the school door to wave at me as I drive by I still shed a little tear. It just isn't easy letting them go!</div>

I cannot believe that Aubrielle is six! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It just doesn't seem possible & for some reason 6 sounds so much older than 5!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We decided on a Chuck E Cheese party & it was <i>AMAZING</i>! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not even being sarcastic! <br />
They completely served us. </div>

We had the place almost completely to ourselves & I didn't have to clean </div>

Spending the 4th of July on the beach was nothing short of perfection! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent the morning at the pool & then the afternoon on the beach. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all showered & then the adults got a quick date night (courtesy of Nani & Papa Ed) before we watched an amazing fireworks display over the beach from our balcony.</div>

1. Before church with Bferg! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(We don't take enough selfies....)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. A summer sunset over Beaver Lake...perfection!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Pool Party with all our friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Okra blooms! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had no idea that it was so pretty before it becomes an okra.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. We've had like one HOT day here (which is way better than last summer) but 103* is crazy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. And then Sunday it was only in the 70's...while the crazies swam I tried to stay warm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Fla-vor-ice, swimsuits & dirty little girls...the perfect summer evening!</div>

The second week in June the girls spent a full week with Grammy & Papa. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was the longest they stayed by themselves & it was a wonderful 6 night</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
break for Mommy & Daddy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They did great & had a blast playing with their cousins, helping Papa & playing in the sprinkler.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We headed up to MO the Friday before Father's Day where Bferg played it just right because he was able to come home with a new purchase. He had found "<i style="font-weight: bold;">the perfect</i>" fishing/duck hunting boat on CraigsList that just happened to be right around the corner from my parents house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Insert Bferg buying his own Father's Day & 10 Year Anniversary Present!</div>

I normally like the element of surprise that goes along with gifts but because I had been feeling so crummy with Baby #3 I was happy to just go with it. She still needs a name but the 4 of us have taken a maiden voyage & it is cute to see how much he loves it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In order to just stay consistent & taking full advantage of our girls being gone I also got to pick out my own 10 Year Anniversary present. I kicked around a bunch of different ideas & since we took Hawaii off the table once we decided to try for #3 I landed on jewelry. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's timeless & let's be honest...a girl loves diamonds.</div>

I call them "mine" & seriously love them! I have worn them almost every single day since getting them. We had a low key anniversary night. A quiet dinner out & walking around our quaint downtown. I can't decide which is harder to believe...the fact that we've been married 10 years or the fact that almost 5 of those have been here in Arkansas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Bferg more than I ever imagined possible on that day in June when we vowed our lives to each other. We are blessed & our life is very sweet. I am thankful for Brett's convictions & his willingness to lead our family. I am also thankful for his compassion towards me & our girls. He may be tough fisher/hunter guy but he loves his girls (all 3 of us!).</div>

You know that feeling where you <i>mean </i>to do something everyday but somehow it just never happened?!? That has been my blogging for the last 6 weeks! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It wasn't for lack of content...because <i>much</i> has been happening in our little world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it had more to do with motivation & the fact that it is summer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our entire schedule goes out the door come summer time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So now I am going to lunge into a big game of catch-up & try to include </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
every major event from the last six weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll start with this...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We are having another baby!!!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we are all very excited!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Momma is very sick.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Probably the #1 reason why blogging went by the way-side.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be 12 weeks tomorrow so Baby #3 (which we have nicknamed Hector) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is due to arrive January 24, 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zofran has become my bestest friend </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& my girls (as well as Bferg) have been troopers </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dealing with my all day long, constant state of nausea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My second big news is that I have accepted a job! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Through a crazy series of events that can only be explained by God, I was offered the position of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Director of Women's Ministry at our church, <a href="http://www.gracepointchurch.net/" target="_blank">Grace Point</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am beyond excited about this as well as humbled & honored.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a<strike> little</strike> lot of fear mixed in as well but I know that this is exactly where God wants me to serve & I am confident in His ability to equip me in every way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll do my best to get caught up...afterall, we just got back from a really fun vacation that needs to be highlighted!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It is safe to say that I'm behind in my blogging.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wouldn't mind much except that it isn't even summer yet & we've not even been <i>busy.</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Summer is just around the corner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is so close we can taste it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not really sure where March or April went; but they are gone & with the end of the school year we are welcoming in a lot of "<i>growth" </i>within our house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday Aubrielle realized that her front two bottom teeth were loose.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BIG moment for the whole family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think that Lily was just as excited as her big sister.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And yes, we've all taken a turn wiggling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By Monday she had figured out how to blow bubbles with her gum.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet another BIG moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Watch this one Mom," is the phrase of the week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Tuesday morning I was doing my daily "did I brush my teeth good enough" assessment when we discovered that she had a 6 year old molar coming through in the very back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I jokingly told her that it was too much for me to handle as a mom that she needed to stop growing up right before my eyes. Literally.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fast forward 6 hours & during our afternoon play time she decided that opening her pool inner tube plug (because we can smell summer...why not play with pool floats in the house) with her teeth was a good idea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Imagine screaming from her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Screaming from Lily over the blood.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a frantic Mommy trying to figure out what happened to her tooth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We quickly recovered the tooth from the living room floor, got the bleeding under control with a paper towel & began discussing in detail the Tooth Fairy.</div>

Lily as Tinkerbelle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't have the heart to tell her she was wearing her wings sideways....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Tinkerbelle insisted on going to the mall with us (wings right side up). <br />I thought her man's man daddy was going to <i>die</i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Spring is here! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am loving the budding trees, the greener grass & the warmer temperatures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our house sits next to two empty lots (until yesterday when bulldozers invaded the space).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been awesome having the extra space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bferg drives golf balls, the girls play hunting/adventures & probably the most convenient perk is being able to dump our grass clippings straight in the field. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aubrielle decided that it would be a great community service if we would walk the field and pick up trash. She came up with the idea on a Monday night & would not let it go until it came to fruition on Tuesday night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never mind the fact that Tuesday just happened to be cold-er & the wind was blowing 50 m.p.h. She would not be told no & really how could we say no to such a sweet and meaningful cause.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Easter is one of our favorite holidays here in the Ferg house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A time to reflect on the death, burial & then the glorious resurrection of our Lord & Savior!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is the reason we have salvation through Him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bferg's Mom, aka Nani, came to help us celebrate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Parks, playing, bowling & eating...we had a great time with family.</div>

(With fist's clenched & thrust into the air above her head.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Lily continues to serenade us...even in her nightgown.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Officially registered Aubrie for Kindergarten where she had me fill out that she prefers to be called 'Aubrielle'. She has grown up far too fast!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 & 6. Peter Rabbit came to school for a visit! I about fell over when Lily held it because she was one of the reasons we got rid of our dog. #scaredofallanimals!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Last night of Itty Bitty Basketball. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. Bferg wouldn't let us go inside until he made the shot...which he did...eventually.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. A Girls' Day of Shopping! They are both obsessed with the people in the front of Old Navy. And this picture was their idea! :)</div>

Lily started planning her party months before March! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
M.o.n.t.h.s.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Details changed, color schemes changed but two things remained the same. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She wanted Princess & The PopStar and her invite list was only girls. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or as Lily would say, "Gurwls."</div>

The first full week of February is over & that leaves us with February 8th, Bferg's birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I was thinking about him this morning & preparing a grocery list for his birthday treat I had an overwhelming sense of thankfulness wash over me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I.am.so.thankful.for.this.man!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am thankful & beyond blessed that God allowed me to be his wife.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His love for me is great & often undeserved.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am thankful for his influence on our girls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is kind, loyal, patient & gentle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am thankful for his passion for adventure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is rugged, hard-working & steadfast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am thankful that he is a leader willing to be led by our God.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is passionate, committed & faithful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
