Oh how much I love this little guy. It's intensely scary. If he only knew how much power he wields over my Mama's heart. I have a sneaking suspicion he's on to me though...he's definitely the "baby" of the family ...a little sweet...a little spoiled rotten.</div>

I just love my Noah-boy, a.k.a. the sweet angel.<br />He is one of the most colorful, eclectic-dressing, story-telling, imaginative kids I've ever met. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not a day goes by where he doesn't dress himself "up." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some days that means as a cowboy. Other days, it's a fireman. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Regardless of what he chooses, it's always fun! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is my "boy" boy. Loves dirt, bugs and all things outside! </div>

Cruzie: He is my "bambino" and I am his "mamilla." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This boy has my heart wrapped around his little finger - in a powerful way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will never, ever tire of looking at his sweet face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try to memorize every feature & expression, but he's changing so fast. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God has given me a revelation in to just how fast life is passing and I am grateful for the "Selah" moments...the ones where I pause, look around me and realize how very blessed I am. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The picture of Cruz, below, was one of those moments.</div>

This is the story of a lil' pup named Oscar and his boy Noah. </div>

A rescue agency saved him and found a foster home for him to stay with while they looked for a permanent solution. </div>

Noah was equally excited about the box it came in. I'm telling you, this boy has a "thing" for boxes. He is the biggest pack-rat and I'm more than a little concerned about seeing him on an episode of "Hoarders" one day. Check out that glazed-over look on his face. It's like he's on a cardboard high!</div>

Oh the torture...homework and mom making Luke take another picture. He was NOT in a chipper mood today, which is the case often with my honey bunny. His emotions run strong, which means he feels the highs and lows intensely. I know Father God will take that emotion and turn it in something wonderfully compassionate one day. </div>

Cruz was not having any part of looking at the camera, let along smiling for me. This picture is actually one of the more pleasant expressions he made while I was trying to convince (ok...bribe) him to look at me just once. So, true to the 365 concept, here is the real-life picture I was able to snap of him with his Lego storage box with Oscar curiously standing near by watching. </div>

Noah, on the other hand, was animated as ever. True to his unique sense of style, he is wearing his big brother's pj pants, my warm-winter boots, a Santa hat and red & black party balloons accessorizing the ensemble. </div>

Normally, I'm the one behind the camera, but Noah was insistent that I have my picture taken too. Too bad I was just about to hop in the bath before bed...hair pulled back, glasses on...don't let my "glam-mom" look wow you too much!<br />

Finally, end of the day, two boys corralled in the tub and one cooperative boy outside the tub, I managed to get one picture with my three Musketeers all together. They sure don't make it easy...but this is definitely an accurate depiction of our last day of Christmas break - it is our own brand of silly. Not for the faint-hearted. </div>

It's going to be 63 degrees today and that means one thing when you have boys - OUTSIDE play!! I can't help but laugh seeing Luke messing with his phone while riding his bike, Noah riding his new Big Wheel, and Cruz still in his jammies with a baseball helmet on riding his new big boy bike with training wheels. </div>

Decided to start a 365 project this year...taking one picture a day of my boys doing every day life. </div>

Today is January 3, 2014, so I'm a few days behind. The concept is still valid though and I believe at the end of this year, I will look back and be happy I dedicated the time to capturing a year in the life of my world. </div>

Today, I found Luke outside playing soccer with the neighbor girls. He wasn't up for smiling, but I did get him to stand still in front of a tree just long enough to snap a pic. </div>

I don't know what happens to a mother's mind & memory, but I honestly don't know where 3 whole years have gone. I love how much you love me...and I love you back twice as much. Your baby snuggles are THE best. Your kisses are THE sweetest. And I melt when you tell people your name is "Mommy's Baby." I know you are growing up to be a big boy, but for now, I'm enjoying every last baby moment!</span></div>

So many poignant thoughts I want to remember.<br />
<br />
You are a beloved child of God. He loves you with a sacrificial love that is pure & fruitful. We are to walk in love the way Christ loved us, but if we aren't understanding the height, depth, length & breadth of his love, we won't be able to mimic and share it with the world. It's a radical love that allows us to love the unlovable. It is intentionally cultivated and produces fruit that is good, right & true. It is agape love...a love that gives what is needed, but not always what is wanted.<br />
<br />
I am so humbled when I think about the fact that God loves me just the way I am. I am so thankful to be forgiven. I am so grateful to be a part of a church that is teaching me how much God loves me.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00200286406612219430noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921635884714638825.post-33291064203122155392013-12-06T16:55:00.001-06:002013-12-06T16:55:05.152-06:00Icemagedon 2013<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since the great icemagedon of 2013 have us all cooped at home today, we decided to be productive and put up the Christmas tree. We usually have it done the weekend after Thanksgiving, but this year we were running a bit behind. </div>

I' glad I got this one smiling picture of Noah because he has been a major TOOT today. Bless his heart, he's been in time out, grounded to his room and spanked more times than I can count. I think the ice must have his ears clogged because he is not obeying and being downright defiant.</div>

Luke has been so helpful! He's had a great time putting the ornaments on the tree and is learning to be a real peacemaker who comes up with solutions & ways for everyone to get along. </div>

This was the first year that Cruzie really got in to decorating. His favorite part was eating...er, I mean hanging... the candy canes on the tree!</div>

Silly Gumdrop must have heard Noah inquiring if he got hungry when flying home to the North Pole each night. Noah wasn't sure if he would have time to rest or eat when making his report to Santa. I guess now we know!</div>
