Spontaneous Birthday Party

The crazy things that we do for our kids...seems to happen on a daily basis here at the Reynolds Nation. Yesterday, Judah woke up and said it was Barney's birthday. All the kids do this periodically. Well, Judah was very serious. And he wouldn't stop talking about it. Then he got the other kids got involved. And next thing you know they are planning a party for the afternoon. Esther made a list of things that needed to be done and Judah was getting really excited.

Next thing you know, we are taking a quick trip to our local Publix and buying a birthday cupcake for Barney (no time for baking today). And we anticipated the big moment all day. After dinner and dad was home, we had Barney's moment. Judah said it was Barney's first birthday...but actually he is 14. We have had the Barney doll for that long...handed down to each kid respectfully.

So, for a few extra dollars and a little bit of time we made a little boy happy. Once again, it is these moments that we will be laughing at one day when the kids are older. And these pictures will be proof!

Gratitude Friday

Image
Haven't done a gratitude Friday in a long time. It is nice to take a moment and realize what God has done in your life. 1. Thankful for Matt's new car. When the enemy tried to turn something good into bad, the Lord's provision overrides. 2. Thankful for all of Judah's curls. 3. Thankful for the good report at the neurosurgeon's office on Monday. We are believing for a easy repair of the malformed artery. 4. Thankful for the rain that just came down...so cleansing. 5. Thankful for His presence and His voice. 6. Thankful for my boy turning five. Oh, who knows what adventures we have before us in the future. I can't wait.

Embrace The Camera

This is the first time that I am doing Embrace the Camera. Head over to one of my favorite blogs ...www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com ...and check out her Embrace the Camera day. Her goal is to have a day where you just post pictures of YOU and your kids or anyone special in your life. I have found we have had whole days, outings, vacations where I don't appear in any pictures...so sad right? One day my kids will look back and wonder where I am...haha, behind the camera. Well, that's not good enough. So, here I am. Embracing the camera with my favorite people in the world. After church on Sunday, Esther wanted to take a picture of all of us. This is an impromptu picture. I love these people. After I wanted to snap a picture of one of my favorite people...my boy William. So sweet. I love this little man...toothless and all. Thanks Emily, for continuing with the Embrace the Camera. I finally did it!
