About Me

I'm a lover of life. I was once blind and now I see. My dreams are in full color now.

Grants Farm

Grandma came for a visit(YEAH) and took us to Grant's Farm.



Most of the goats were full by the time we got there. We found one that was still standing and that would humor Tobin.


Tobin LOVED brushing the goats. I'm not so sure the goats enjoyed Tobin brushing them.

And then there were 3

It's a BOY!!!!!! Yep, #3.

This seems like such a long leg for one of our boys to have????


This is a 3D shot and it's hard to see but this is our little guy with his fist in his mouth.

Fun gifts from friends

We have the sweetest neighbors that treat our boys like their grandkids. We've gotten Christmas presents, Easter baskets and random garage sale treasures. The other day Tobin and Corwin hit the jackpot. Miss J shopped from the Target clearance shelves and little did she know she bought my boys pure happiness. My boys love "Shaun the Sheep" and Miss J, not even knowing what she was purchasing, bought them a bunch of "Shaun the Sheep" items. You can tell by the pictures-they are tickled.



Our friend Miss Debbie is the coupon queen and is always getting us fun bargains from our neighborhood CVS. Her last purchase put some smiles on my boys cute, little faces.



The Magic House










A House Fire

On the 4th of July we came home from church and started fixing dinner when we heard a fire engine. I ran to the front door to find that the fire engine was pulling up infront of our house. I called for Tobin because I knew he would want to see the fire engine. We walked out the front door and looked up and realized that the fire was right next door. So we all evacuated the house and joined the rest of the neighborhood out on the street. There ended up being 5 fire trucks and about 3 police cars. We even had the redcross show up to help the firemen because it was about 100 degrees that day. There was one fireman that was sent to the hospital because he was burned. Tobin was a little overwhelmed but so excited about all of the trucks and sirens.

The fire took the neighbors house(whom ran away from the scene) and the house next door to them. It didn't even touch our house. God soooo protected us. Once you see the pictures you'll agree. We are thankful that no one is hurt. God is good.


The white house is our house.

Colorado Cousins

My brother's wife and boys came to St. Louis this summer and we joined them at the zoo. The zoo is one of our favorite places to visit but it's extra special when our cousins are with us.





Tobin LOVES the hippos.


Summer Fun

The boys are loving their new backyard.







One of our favorite places in St. Louis-The City Gardens





Our Corwin is One years old



Our Boys are growing up



Tobin still pulls out all of my tupperware every now and then. He has now moved on to stacking the tupperware.


See my new teeth.

The boys now take baths together-they love it.

Tobin and Corwin LOVE TV-a little too much. Mommy loves when they watch TV. It's about the only time my boys snuggle with me and it's one of the only times the two of them get along.


Couches covered, big boy underwear on-ready for potty training. NOT!!! I'm glad I took this picture because it only lasted 2 days. We had pee everywhere. We'll try again soon.

Gram and Poppie come to visit


Gram and Poppie came to visit in April. They stayed over a week and we were so happy to have them here. Unfortunately we only have one picture of their visit. I'm not sure how that happened. I hope they have more pictures to share with us. We miss them.
