Life: According To My iPhone

1. It bothers Aubrie that the construction workers next door leave their trash on the ground...so she went over & proceeded to pick it all up!  

2. Lily's first (and it will NOT be the last) time washing the dinner dishes. 

 I just hope she still is as eager when she is 12!

3. Bferg in an apron cooking my Mother's Day brunch.  

Totally attractive!

4. Mother's Day on the Lake!!!!!!!!!! 

Perfection.

5. Bferg is encroaching in on my sun! 

 Fish on the other side!

6. I will never tire of these sweet morning moments!

7. This is totally Lily.  

Dress, heels, legs crossed & purse on her chair!  

Mother's Day

Totally cliche' but from the time I was little all I ever dreamed of was becoming a Mom.

God has allowed me to have that dream fulfilled & I could not be more blessed!

Love my sweet babies!

"But as for me & my house we will serve the Lord."

Joshus 24:15

Pomp & Circumstance

The school year is over & we have closed the chapter on Pre-School.

Bferg & I could not be more proud of her.  

We have watched her blossom from a very shy & quiet little girl into a leader who is outgoing, friends with everyone & ready to spread her wings.

Too Big Too Fast!

It is safe to say that I'm behind in my blogging....  

I wouldn't mind much except that it isn't even summer yet & we've not even been busy.  

Summer is just around the corner.

It is so close we can taste it!

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 "growth" within our house.

Saturday Aubrielle realized that her front two bottom teeth were loose.

BIG moment for the whole family.

I think that Lily was just as excited as her big sister.

And yes, we've all taken a turn wiggling.

By Monday she had figured out how to blow bubbles with her gum.

Yet another BIG moment.

"Watch this one Mom," is the phrase of the week.

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.

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.

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.

Imagine screaming from her.

Screaming from Lily over the blood.

And a frantic Mommy trying to figure out what happened to her tooth.

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.

Who needs a door knob when you have an inner tube?!?!

I remember when that little tooth came in!

Golden coins (chocolate) & a note from the Tooth Fairy.

Tomorrow she will graduate Pre-K & then we are DONE with the milestones for a while!  

This Mommy cannot handle much more!  :)  It is bitter sweet watching your babies grow up.

"...Grow in the grace & knowledge of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ...."

2 Peter 3:18

Favorite Thing Friday

Lily as Tinkerbelle.

I didn't have the heart to tell her she was wearing her wings sideways....

But I did want to document it for a memory.

Tinkerbelle insisted on going to the mall with us (wings right side up).
I thought her man's man daddy was going to die!

Stay-at-home mommy just let it slide because it was not a fight worth fighting 

with a strongwilled, not to be reasoned with 4 year old all girl little girl!

She keeps us smiling & on our toes!

"How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!  

And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings."

Psalms 36:7

Spring Cleaning

Spring is here! 

 I am loving the budding trees, the greener grass & the warmer temperatures.

Our house sits next to two empty lots (until yesterday when bulldozers invaded the space).

It has been awesome having the extra space.

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. 

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.  

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.

  

I love how servant-minded she is & how she leads our whole family in the same way.

"Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves."
Philippians 2:3

Easter Weekend

Easter is one of our favorite holidays here in the Ferg house.  

A time to reflect on the death, burial & then the glorious resurrection of our Lord & Savior!

It is the reason we have salvation through Him.

Bferg's Mom, aka Nani, came to help us celebrate.

Parks, playing, bowling & eating...we had a great time with family.

"He is not here, for He has risen!"

Matthew 28:6
