Design!

New design jobs for me means more money to buy new furniture! I seriously love this job!! I am passionate about helping people love their spaces. I'm loving our new tables and chairs too!

Passion 2015

I love living in Atlanta! Regina, my mentor, got Ashley and I tickets to the passion conference downtown. It was incredible to see thousands of college students praising God!  

More Tulsa time

We stopped by my aunts work in Tulsa and surprised her. It was so fun to see her shocked face!

We spent New Year's Eve at the lake house with Chris and Lee and all six kids. It was a blast!!

Our flight home was a little crazy. Hudson screamed almost the entire flight! Carmen had to per when we were about to land, so I had her put a diaper on, but it went through all over her clothes. I had had to secretly dress her while the seatbelt sign was on. Hudson still crying, mind you. They screamed the entire drive home also. Matt just listened to his headphones in the car not to go crazy!  Good times traveling with three under five.!

Hudson is growing 20 months

Hudson turned 18 months back in November. Things have been so crazy lately, so here are his 20 month stats

Hudson is the most strong willed, determined child I know. He will only do what he wants, when he wants. He only wants to read his certain book on his timing. 

Hudson is our pickiest eater. He loves fruit and fish sticks. He is starting to like eggs. Hudson also likes applesauce and yogurt. We're working on veggies. 

Hudson is more affectionate. I love when he kisses me and hugs. He wants to always be held. I try to soak this up while it lasts. 

Hudson LOVES his Meema. He asks for her always and loves to play with her. 

He wears size 24 month and 2t clothing, size 6 shoe, and size 5 diaper. 

He sleeps from 8pm to 8am. He naps from 2pm-4pm. I have to usually wake him from his naps so he will sleep at night. 

I think Hudson is pretty advanced with his speech. He says our whole families names at prayer time at night. He even thanks God for Mark, Mike, Meg, Emmett and the rest of the family. Hudson communicates very well. This helps with his demanding personality. 

Hudson likes music and loves to sing. He sings happy birthday, twinkle twinkle, the Frozen song, and Amazing Grace. 

He is still enamored by Roman and gets 'mommied' by Carmen all day long!

We love our boy so much. I just know God has special plans for him. 

Christmas in Tulsa

Christmas in Tulsa was adventurous and crazy as usual.  We couldn't celebrate until New Years Day because it was hard for everyone to get together.  We had so much fun!  We stayed in Tulsa for an entire week.  The kids had a blast playing with all their cousins.  We love being with family!

Christmas 2014!

Even though Matt was flying, we were all joyous!  No cancer!  No fear, pain, nausea from chemo, or extreme fatigue!  We are in a new season of life!  It was time to celebrate and live!  Praise the Lord!

The kids came down ready to open gifts!

Matt watched the whole thing!

We went to our neighbors' house Jenn and Craig with Charity and Chad that night for steak and chicken dinner.  It was so great!  We are so blessed!

Christmas Eve

The kids spent the night before Christmas Eve at Meema's house.  Matt flew from the 23rd to the 26th!  We spent the morning of Christmas Eve with her decoration cookies and hanging out.  I took them to Passion City church that afternoon with the Jansen's.  It was absolutely amazing to hear Loui Giglio speak and Christy Nockels sing O Holy Night.  We sat on the 3rd row!  What a way to celebrate Christmas!

That night we hung out at the house.  Meema spent the night with us.  We left cookies for Santa and reindeer food outside!
