Country living..

One of our favorite things about the country is all the baby animals we see in the Spring. So far we have spotted..baby lambs, horses, cows, and today we found this in our rose bush. It is right outside our window, so when they hatch we will see and hear the babies. We had a mama lay her eggs in the same spot 2 years ago, and it was amazing to hear them and watch them grow. Love Spring Time!!!

Goodbye Spring break!

Last week my beautiful girl was home all day everyday. All three of my babies were together every day, and I could not have been happier. Last night as I was putting her to bed I realized how much I missed having her home all day. For 4 years it was just me and her, and now that the boys have come and routines are in place I forget just how much I missed her being with me. She is the silliest little girl, has the biggest heart, a smile that will melt your heart, and she is my first baby! I love her so much it scares me sometimes. :) I am so proud of the little girl she has become, and I can't wait to have her home for the summer. When I put her to bed last night..I found this letter she had written. With tears in my eyes I kissed her goodnight, and in that moment I knew I would change NOTHING about my crazy, joyful, sometimes insane, lots of belly laughs, and tons of kisses life. Nothing...

Our day at the aquarium..

My mom and I took the kids to The Sealife Aquarium in Grapevine. I think it was worth every penny. It was very interactive, and all the tanks were eye level with Reed. The kids were in awe at every corner. All I could say to them was how amazing our God was..that he created each and every creature we saw!

Mathis Garden 2012

The excitement surrounding this garden is more than I can explain. We had a "semi" successful garden last year; until the summer heat let us have it. All winter we couldn't wait to start again. We learned a few lessons, and changed a few things. These are the memories I love to make with my kids. I can not wait to harvest our crop..green beans, watermelon, strawberries, okra, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, jalapenos, and corn.

Just a girl and her gun...

Sarah's first gun; a pink .22. Not sure who was more proud; her or her daddy.

Happy Birthday to my love!!


Today my sweet husband turned 32!! I can honestly say I am blessed,way more than I deserve, to have him as my husband. He is my strength when I can no longer stand, my smile when I feel like crying, my happiness, my joy, the BEST father that walks this Earth, and my very best friend. I have loved this man for over 15 years now, and I can honestly say I love him more today than the day I met him.

Happy Birthday Tobin Mathis; I love you more than you will EVER know. Thank you for being you. You are my Sunshine, and I could not ask for more!
