Truitt's 3rd Birthday


These pictures are FAR overdue, but here they are. Truitt's party was a blast and we enjoyed a sports themed party while a large storm/tornado warning was sounding outside. : ) We still had Bev and Rick there from TX and a large crowd show for his party.

Everyone wore there favorite team shirts and in lieu of presents brought donations to Touch-a-life, a foundation that rescues children from slavery in Ghana, Africa. http://www.touchalifekids.org/ We started out playing several sports (baseball, golf, basketball, etc), all of which were supposed to be played outside, but due to the torrential down-pour were played inside. Then we had every child receive a medal and run through a victory line as we cheered their personal name. That was my favorite part!! We enjoyed hot dogs and chips, and then proceeded to beat the unbreakable baseball pinata. Truitt felt very special and enjoyed being the center of attention. Happy birthday sweet boy.

The pictures are all out of order. I did let the kids try to break the pinata before I wore my arm out trying to break it. Josh had to finally rip it open. : )










The unbreakable pinata!













CANDY!!!










Truitt and some buddies decided to take a break from eating and throw all his clothes on the top bunk!! Oh boy!






The victory line





Notice the weather channel on the TV.


Party favor bag. Note: Kids love whistles for favors... Moms don't.

Sweet Truitt Moment


taken last weekend before horse-back riding


Truitt raises his tiny blue Bible in one hand, then points to it with the other. He then, with bright eyes and a sincere tone says "That's a good story in there!"


Yes Lord Jesus, that's a mother's paycheck right there!

8 months



caught him in the mid-blink
Noah will be 8 months tomorrow. Time has really flown by. I love the way he lights up when I enter the room. He is such a easy baby and I'm falling in love with him more and more with every passing hour. His new tricks are sitting up, 6 teeth, army crawling, eating baby food like a champ, and laughing A LOT at Truitt. Noah James Ross is truly a precious gift from God.


Baby dedication Sunday is this next Sunday and I'm looking forward to showing him off.

In the words of Pheobe from friends "He's my lobster" - we are together for life. : )
Have a great day. Love, Kayci

My Easter hat


My boys


Easter Bunny tracks



The hunt


This Easter was an emotional one. Josh did an incredible job with the sermon, and only teared up once. His weren't the only tears shed that morning. We both cried through worship and shared a long hug after the service. The last song we sang was Mighty to Save and if I had any composure left at that point, I lost it. I thank God there is an Easter to celebrate. Jesus is RISEN! Because of Jesus we have HOPE...that's what Jenny's life song was all about any way. Rejoice, the grave is empty!!
Today, I will choose to serve you alone Lord. I will not serve another! - Kayci
