The weekend before school started back we took a small trip to Branson. It was so much fun just Kelli and I and are girls! They had so much fun, we spent the entire day at Silver Dollar City and then the next day shopping!

Mason you light up my days, you challenge me, make me laugh, and your brother and sisters adore you. Im excited to see what this next year holds!

Happy Birthday Mason MOO

11 years

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

 Aug 3 Ben and I celebrated our 11th anniversay! Doesn't seem like its been that long and days where it seems like many more years. I am married to my best friend. He is a leader, hardworking, devoted, loyal, funny, unique, father, son and first a man of God. He makes me feel safe and happy. He believes in me, trust me to be a mom and wife. He is encouraging and loving. He is also hard headed and stubborn at times. I love him with my all and Im so thankful that God crossed our paths! Can't wait to see what the rest of our lives hold!!

We had a very simple get away! Grammy came and watched the kids and we headed to Fayetteville, had dinner watched a movie and got a hotel. The next morning we headed to Devils Den for hiking and cave exploring. Well the caves were closed so we enjoyed hiking and a picnic for most of the day. It was simple but much needed. Just me him and a beautiful mountian.

Where does the time go??

Everyday at least once I think.. I need to blog that whether it be something funny the kids said or did. I always say oh I will remember that and honestly I can't remember what happended two days ago! My mind has quickly gone since having kids.. So as I sit away at ONE AM I am going to try my best to keep up with this blog as a reminder of all the amazing memories I am creating with my family!

With that the reason I am awake at this crazy hour is because I had the bright idea to move the boys into the same room, what was I thinking?? Oh ya how great it will be to have a space upstairs where the kids can play, color, read ect and I can still keep an eye on them! I turned Logans old room into a play area and moved his bed to Mason's room. Well Mason is a super light sleeper and Logan is a wiggle worm when he sleeps. Oh and he wakes up crying if he has to pee, this doesn't happen too much but you bet it happend the first night they were in the same room. Mason is still in the crib but sure enough he starts screaming too. So the picture was priceless carrying both boys to the potty holding Mason while undressing Logan to go pee... Logan is now asleep on the couch and Mason in bed. I will try again tomorrow!
