Mother's Day 2011

I married this man on June 24th, 2005 I was 21, he was 24:) In Fairhope, Alabama at The Grand Hotel.

If you had told me that only 9 months later I was going to be pregnant with our 1st, I would have though you were crazy....we hadn't really even talked about kids.
There is nothing like that first pregnancy, you have no clue what to expect and everything is SOO scary.

things flew from there...we went from a family of 3

when Cole was only 8 months old I found out i was pregnant with Eli...so we went from a family of 3 to a family of 4 on May 14, 2008

then when Eli turned 2 that summer we had Gage-man.... from a family of 4 to a family of 5!!

I have Never been more happier, I couldn't have written a better story....God is amazing at taking control and making your story just the way He wants it, I hope through our story we can bring so much glory to Him.

Also what would Mother's day be if I didn't tell you how AMAZING and pretty special I think my own mother is! My mother is the picture of Grace, Humility, Love...She made our home growing up such a safe place...and She even home schooled us for 4 years (that takes dedication for a mother). She is my best friend, and I hope that when my boys are grown they look at me the way I look at her.

She has been there with me for all the "stuff" in life, and I know she will continue to be there...
Love you Mom!

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there!!
