She’s THREE?!?!

Let me prefaced with the fact that I think I have *beautiful* children! I look at them and I am amazed that they came from Brett and I ! I think Cadence is just gorgeous! However, as *beautiful* as my children are now, they do not come out that way. I can remember after I had Curtis and I just couldn’t get over how ugly he was, and my mother-in-law told me to stop saying that .. I have very fast and easy deliveries. Fast deliveries equals very swollen babies!! 

Cadence November 29, 2008

See day two after they are super cute, it’s just that first day !

THIRD Birthday

Cadie and Uncle Brett on their birthday in 09’& 11’

Yesterday (Tuesday) Cadence officially turned Three! I decided that we would celebrate with a make-over. She is always asking me to come to her room and do makeup. I don’t think that I actually ever have.. So yesterday we sat on her bed and did make-overs!!

HAPPY THIRD BIRTDAY PRINCESS!! My have been so blessed by this sweet little girl!

Called out by a 5 Year Old..

Our nightly routine consists of baths, bibles time, prayer and bed. We have done a really good job of this with our children. While too often my personal devotion time is cut to short, we make sure that our children spend time daily in the word. We have been through several "kid" studies with them (mainly Curt). I didn’t really even notice (embarrassed to say) but had not done bible time since loosing my Aunt Ruby. I wouldn’t say I am mad at God, not at all. I am super sad, confused (I truly thought she would be healed here on Earth, and perhaps be our Job), and very thankful for her life. Definitely not mad. Tonight after baths Curt asked me why we don’t do bible time any more? Brett looked at me and as if to say, "well don’t we feel small!" I am thankful that I have a 5 year-old who will call me out when I fall short! God is already using this sweet little person in great ways.

**this is what bible time looks like at our house**

Brett or I will find them the spot which is refranced in our study. Then Curt will retell us what we talked about.. It is so fun, Cadie is just now starting to really get involved. I am thankful for a husband who will do this with us as a family!

This is the "study" we are doing with them now. Short and Sweet, and just what they need. After each day they take turns coloring in the page so we know that we have done that page. In loosing my Aunt Ruby, it is even more important to me that Curt and Cadie see how very important Christ-likeness is! I am starting to see possible blossoms stemming from loosing my Aunt Ruby. I am praying for God’s Will...

It’s a Surprise!

This year Cadence will turn THREE on the same day Brett Rohlman turns THIRTY! Kristin planned a surprise party for him to celebrate 30. We were all on the party bus and waiting for him when he came out. He really was surprised, and had no idea!

We went on a scavenger hunt, giving the people on the party bus clues to help Brett decide what he was to ask for upon arrival at 5 different locations.

Stop #1: My Grandma Coslett’s house for tic-tacs

Stop #2: My Uncle Johnny’s House for a Barbie

Stop #3: My In-Laws House for a Stapler

Stop #4: Kelly’s neighbor’s for a pair of socks

Last but Not Least: Our Pastor’s House for his "gift from Kristin and the kids" a new ipod shuffle.

**We had a really fun time, with a great group of friends and family**

 

It was a fun way to end a very stressful week!
