The Best Dads

To my daddy

To the father of my children

To my sons

And my gift of a son

The children in this world are blessed because of you.

Not because you are perfect

But because you all serve a perfect Heavenly Father.

Thank you for the sacrifices you make as dads.

And for leading our family in His ways.

You are loved.

Birthday Birthday!!!

My nieces and nephews are a big deal to me.

They are all the same age as my grands.

We lump them all together at family gatherings...

And I adore them.

I wish I had more hours in my days to celebrate them.

My precious nephew, W, had his first birthday a couple of weeks ago..

......party pics to follow.

W turned one!!!!!!!

Serious cuteness!!

AND

Today our *M GIRL* turns six!!

She is actually six going on 12!

At her young age, she has a heart for Jesus...

and I love that!

Cuteness runs in our family...don't you think???

*Double Down to the Beach*...CRAZY Stuff!

If you have read my blog for very long you know hubs is a cyclist.

He started riding several years ago.

He quickly became hooked.

He did his first Century ride (100 miles) three years ago.

I did a post about it HERE.

He loves the outdoors and does not have a fear of riding on the road.

Plus...

He's a beast.

No lie.

THIS is what he did Saturday:

The ride was called *Double Down to the Beach.*

He rode with approx 125 other guys....

His first Double Century....

200 miles in one day.

He pedaled a bicycle 204 miles.

It took him 12.5 hours.

Yeah, I have a hard time driving a CAR for 12.5 hours.

Can you even IMAGINE pedaling a bike that long???

Plus....

He is 59.

As in years old.

Here he is at the finish with three of his buddies, that also rode over 200 miles.

Hubs is in the bright yellow shirt.

Give a shout out to these guys!

Proud of you hubs!

Big Brother and his Twinkies

Gosh, I have so much to update.

Kiki's Graduation.

Wells' first birthday.

The hubs' bike ride....you won't believe this one!

But, for now, until I get pics loaded....

Here is some serious cuteness:

Big brother loving on his twins!

How precious is this picture?

The Big Girls

There's not much cuter than a little girl in a tutu....

Except for TWO little girls in tutus.

....with proud parents

....and a proud aunt and cousin

...and of course, proud Nonny and Poppy!

Love these BIG GIRL Grands!

The BIGBOY Twins

I just spent a couple of days with the bigboy twins.

Those boys are a hoot let me tell you.

They never, ever stop.

Like ever.

They are the most precious boys.

Really.

Not that I am partial or anything.....

Funny how I can see their personalities even from behind.

THANK YOU JESUS for the *bigboy* twins.

Guess What????? Exciting News!!

We are over the moon excited about welcoming grand #8 in late November!

These two girls will be big sisters!

We cannot even BELIEVE we are being blessed again!

THANK YOU JESUS for these girl grands and their new sibling.

And for their parents who have hearts big enough to love them all well!
