Will turns 3!

I'm again joining my good friend Pam at Your Gonna Miss This for this wonderful carnival. Its so much fun and helps to keep us grounded in remembering the things that are so important that will only turn to memories later.

So what are you waiting for? Get involved in this great carnival and tell Pam Tim sent ya!

Yesterday was Will's birthday as he turned 3! It was a very busy day which is exactly why I am just now getting this up. None of my normal videos this time, so pics will have to do.

I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed these moments. I will for sure miss birthday parties!

Its time again to join my good friend Pam for Your Gonna Miss This! It is such a great carnival so head on over to see Pam if you would like to play along!

This week I am sharing a moment that made me so proud. Wills first MAJOR haircut, and he handled it like a pro. Of course there aren't very many things that upset this kid besides his sister.

I will ALWAYS miss two year old haircuts! Even more so I will miss those baby curls! Who knows maybe since he is so young they will still grow back?

I apologize for the shaky video. Mommy shot it, and it was before I gave her lessons on ow to use a camera. LOL OOOHH I think I'm gonna hear about this one!

Your Gonna Miss This! - Stacey's Update

Ok so my good friend Stacey at McCrakensx4 called me out and called me a cheater. So just for you Stacey here is an update. If you havent been to Stacey's go check her out. My update it is at the bottom of this post.

Its time for another week of Your Gonna Miss This Moment with Pam @ Your Gonna Miss This!

I have gotten so many comments on how funny these following videos were that I am posting them again. They are for sure moments that Carey and I will truly miss. The post that they were in wasnt up long so I decided to post them again. I had planned originally to use them for this carnival anyway. We hope you enjoy.

Make sure to stop by and see Pam for more Your Gonna Miss This Moments, and join in as well!







Please click the below images for a better view:

I will miss new Sunday clothes on Easter as we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord. Praise God for He is alive!



I will miss all the cute pictures that we get while they are still little.



Like funny little expressions like this one from Will.



The priceless expression of realizing that the Easter Bunny came!



And the sweet little kiss between a brother and sister that looks like they are making out. LOL



Ok Stacey, so there you go. How did I do this time?

Love and Prayers,

Your Gonna Miss This!

Here we go with another Your Gonna Miss This Moment! If you havent joined in yet with my good friend Pam @ Your Gonna Miss This then you should. Its allot of fun and helps us appreciate the little things before they are truly gone!

This might be a little boring to watch, but it is one of those things that I will truly miss. Another big thing is the Fashion Shows, so make sure you scroll down and see that video as it is VERY entertaining!



Love and Prayers,

Our Little Picasso's

I'm joining Pam again at Your Gonna Miss This for her weekly carnival that shares things that we will miss. I love that this carnival focuses on those things that we too often take for granted, and gives us the chance to appreciate them while we still have them. Stop by and visit Pam for more of these great moments!

This week we painted for our activity for the July 4th weekend. I will always miss these family times together with our kids. They get so much excitement and joy from doing things like painting.

We actually did real paintings this weekend on real canvas! The kids will be able to put them on the wall in their rooms and display them proudly. I got this idea from an artist who is also a fellow blogger. Thanks Hollie for the great idea. It was so much fun!
The base coat.

Adding some color!

The finished products!

Your Gonna Miss This!

No pics today. Just a bunch of things that I'm gonna miss when they are gone.

Will

1. The way he reaches up and takes my hand to walk with him when we go somewhere.

2. The curls he had just before we cut them.

3. The way he crawls up into my lap after taking a nap and lays his head on my shoulder.

4. When he comes up to me and just ask for a hug, and shortly thereafter will want a kiss too.

5. The way he asks for a second piece of candy when I give him one so that he can share with Taylor. *sniff sniff too sweet*

6. The way he ALWAYS ran to hug Taylor when she got home from school.

Taylor

1. I will miss her smile without teeth, because she is just as cute without them as she was with them.

2. The way she always wants to help with Will like helping him get buckled in his car seat.

3. Things that she will never do again like her first day of school, graduating kindergarten, loosing teeth, learning to swim, tying her shoes for the first time, scoring her first soccer goal in a game, etc.

4. Taking her with me to play golf.

5. Singing with her in the car to things like High School Musical. She is soo good!

6. Bedtime stories and nightime prayers.

These are just a few of the things I know I will miss or already do. Go stop by and see Pam for more Your Gonna Miss This Moment.

Love and Prayers,

Your Gonna Miss This!

Ok. So here it is after allot of pressure from Pam. Seriously I needed it. This is a GREAT carnival that Pam at Your Gonna Miss This does. IF you haven't checked her out you should go there now. She has the most beautiful family and you will be so blessed by her blog just as Carey and I have been.

Your Gonna Miss This Moment is a very special carnival and if you have kids it will especially hit home. There are so many of these moments that we think about as parents knowing that they will soon be gone if not already, and there is nothing we can do to get them back. Yes it can be sad, but we take solice in knowing that they are in God's hands and their changes are all part of His plan as they grow and learn to become respected citizens of this GREAT nation in which we live.

So here are some things that I will miss and some that I already do:

I already miss Taylor's smile when she still had all her baby teeth.



She's still super cute, and will always be my baby, but I so miss all five of those teeth.



I will miss the cute and awkward way Taylor sticks here bottom out while doing ballet. We are working with her on that. I will also miss ballet.



I will miss all of the wonderful expressions of this cute little boy.






Even the kinda sad ones. Its time to go Will. This was immediately following me saying this as we needed to leave the park. I will spare you the expression that followed this one as he shared his displeasure. But just so you know, I will miss that too.



(drying tears) Geez Pam, you didn't tell me how hard this was going to be. These were the ones I thought I wouldn't get emotional over too.

So go see Pam at Your Gonna Miss This and check out all the other great posts!
