A Lost Tooth

Sweet Jenni's tooth had been loose for about two weeks. She woke up Sunday morning wiggling her tooth back and forth and it fell out! Simple and sweet!

A quick video to share the news with Grandpa and Grandma!

Oh, the excitement! Joshua's favorite thing about Jenni losing her tooth - she can whistle!! Too cute.

 
I left Jenni a note on the bar - the first place she goes after waking up - and she came to find me to ask why there was money with the note! I adore her and her innocence. I found Jenni's sweet note on top of the note I wrote her. The sweetest.

Happy Birthday, Sister A!!

Our Drive to San Antonio

If I had no voice

If I had no tongue

I would dance for you like the rising sun

And when that day comes and I see your face

I will shout your endless glorious praise

 

If I had no voice

If I had no tongue

I would dance for you like the rising sun

And when that day comes and I see your face

I will shout your endless glorious praise

 

You are the song

You are the song I'm singing

You are the air

You are the air I breathe in

You are the hope

You are the hope I'm needing

Whoa

Memory Verse

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. (Psalm 4:8)

Co-op Fun

Do you remember parachutes during elementary PE?! They were the BEST! I remember having the biggest smile when a teacher or coach would get these out during class because they were that much fun. Our co-op has one. Sometimes it is used for the littles to hold above their heads and another little run under and sometimes it is used this way. :) It was too cold for PE outside so one activity involved an adult and children running with the parachute on the ground carrying a child in the middle. Too. Much. Fun.

Jenni practicing this week's memory verse!

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalm 139:13-14)

If only I could have recorded Joshua explaining this verse to me. It was precious.

Joshua: "Mommy this verse is talking about like how God built me in your tummy. But he didn't build me like a building. It's like he built me, like created me. Like God did it. You didn't. I was in your tummy though, like my baby sister is now!"

Memory Verse

Both littles said their Bible verse at co-op this week. This is sweet Jenni J practicing before co-op began. She takes the process of learning the verse very seriously, practicing several times throughout each day.

This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24)

Co-op Days

 What fun we have at co-op!

Handsome little man!

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. (Mark 12:30)

Feeding Little Brother

Jenni wanted to get out of eating her yogurt, and being the quick-thinking girl that she is, she offered to feed it to Jackson so it wouldn't be wasted. It was a super cute win-win. :)

Fun with Little Brother

 Jenni and I were doing her morning school work in the kitchen when Joshua stopped his activities to entertain Jackson. "Watch this, Jacks!" :)

Happy Baby

 Joshua wants us to have a "happy baby." :)

Sunday Afternoons

 Be still my heart

Little Brother Fun

If only we could bottle up little baby laughs :)

We've Got a Walker!

 We just love this bundle! There's a little twinkle in his eye that we are so thankful for.

One of my most favorite things about having multiple littles growing up together is how excited they are for every single thing a sibling does. Oh, I just adore it. Jackson learning to walk is the perfect example. Lots of screams, "MOM! YOU'VE GOT TO SEE THIS! JACKSON IS WALKING!!" And sweet Jackson, so unaware of all the attention just continues doing his thing not realizing how the whole house stops to join the excitement of his first steps. Little man is learning and loving his new found freedom. Doesn't seem to phase him a bit.

These two make my heart smile. They are the best of friends. Oh, how they adore each other. I just love the brother/sister combo. They balance each other out so well. We are so thankful for the great leader Jenni is since she has little brothers that look to her for everything. Jenni talks about her baptism at least every other day. Joshua each and every time tells Jenni, "Jenni, me so proud of you!" Such genuineness.

Boys will be boys

One of my most favorite videos ever. Jenni and I were working in the school room while the little boys were entertaining each other. LOVE!

Belly Laughs

 Jenni and I were working in the kitchen when we heard Jackson laughing in his crib after his nap. Sweet baby laughs might just be the best thing ever. :)

Philippians 1:6

I am certain that God who began the good work within you will continue His work until it's finally finished on the day Christ Jesus returns. Philippians 1:6

Jenni and I were working on her Bible study homework and the last part of the lesson is memorizing the week's Bible verse. As I started saying the first two words, Jenni J finished the whole thing! She had already memorized it during Sunday school! Love that!

Funny Voices

Joshua loves finding ways to make Jackson laugh. One of the ways is by talking in different voices. Jackson thinks it's hilarious. We were driving in the car and Joshua kept asking, "Where us going?" in one of his silly voices.
