Here are pictures of My 4 Pink Jewels!
My oldest baby girl is off at college and is doing lovely. Hope is going to be 20 years old in just a bit over a month. I cannot believe it. The first born of my 4 pink jewels....blessings from my sweet Lord, Jesus.
This is my sweet Hopey Girl (her nickname has been Hopey Girl since in the hospital when she was born) with the young man she is pretty crazy about named Blaike. He keeps her smiling and they both love the Lord so much! Hope is on a full academic scholarship attending Texas A&M Honor College. I remember the first time I laid eyes on her. Being my first, it was the first time I felt that love that is absolutely unspeakable. True, pure joy! She took her 3 little sisters to Church Camp with her this last summer where she went as a counselor. It was there that my youngest asked Jesus into her heart! The best day of a Mommy's life! And what a precious big sister to take her sisters with her like that. I sure did miss them but I knew they were daily growing in Jesus!
My Sweet Madi Grace with her PG Tigers shirt from her MiMi & Big Daddy for Christmas :)
Mommy & Madi Grace. Yep, she's taller than Mum. (she is my only child that calls me Mum and I love that special name from her!) I call her Mae Mae or Madzy most of the time but she likes JUST MADI! :)
The only one shorter than me is "the baby" who is 8 years old. lol
Madi Grace is now 14. She has been playing clarinet but has decided she's no longer interested in playing clarinet and is joining the school choir. It's kind of also like a drama club. I think she'll do great and love it. She loves to sing and she sings beautifully. This year she has grown so much into the young woman she is becoming.
My sassy Sarah Faith! "Pae Pae" or "Pae" is what I call her. She's my little mini me! Here she is showing the PG Tigers hoodie from her MiMi & Big Daddy.
Pae... what can you say about Pae? Wow, what can you *not* say? She's FULL of personality! She makes me smile, makes me laugh and can cheer me up no matter what's going on! She's the little "momma" of the group. She, too, is growing up so much this year. She's 12. I can't believe it as I type that. She should still be 2, I just can't believe how the time has passed with each of my jewels. She a little soccer player and she loves it. She runs on her toes so we are working on that. ;) You can just see her personality even in this picture. Sweet & Sassy. She makes sure her baby sister, Hannah Joy, always has exactly what she needs and often what she wants. She is a momma hen about her... no doubt. She is a huge animal activist and she has wanted to be a veterinarian ever since she was old enough to even think of what she wants to do. She's never wavered on wanting to do just that. She takes care of our animals and they all prefer her!
"The Baby." Hannah Joy. AKA Lil Miss Goose, Jo Jo and Hannah Bow Peep.
This is typically how she holds me down to hug and kiss me... it cracks me up! I love this picture for just that reason.
Just giving Mommy lovies...
With her Daddy one morning. She loves dog ears. She also always has to have on a headband. She haws her own style and I think it's too cute! Her Daddy is the first one who ever put her hair in pig tails. She tells me they are not pig tails because pigs only have one tail... they are dog ears because dogs have two ears. ;) I'm so glad she could enlighten me, ha ha :)
Last week I grabbed this picture and per usual she likes to "strike a pose!"

THIS SUMMER SHE GAVE HER LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST! Now, all FOUR of my babies are saved! PRAISE THE LORD!
She's 8 years old. She's truly *always* happy. I never see her not smiling or having a bad day. She's just happy go lucky. She's outgoing and she loves people, tons of hugs and kisses. I labored in the hospital for 27 days, yes 27 DAYS, in the hospital before still having her very prematurely but God has given her a beautiful life with no complications from being a preemie. Madi Grace was also a lil preemie baby. Hannah Joy is just an absolute gift to everyone who knows her. She, too, is a soccer player. Her school teacher even came to one of her games just to see her. To know her is to love her. She makes everyone smile and she honestly is the happiest person I've ever known. Her middle name, "Joy", truly describes her. She is FULL of pure JOY!
Two amazing pictures of my girls at church camp this summer.
I love this one. It's so cool looking! What an amazing summer they shared together at camp. Serving others and learning more and more about the Lord constantly. They helped with meals and cleaning cabins, you name it. Workers for Jesus - I'm so blessed!
Giving hugs early one morning :)
Thankful God saved our marriage!
I hear that we look alike. I guess after being married almost 15 years that makes perfect sense.
We are planning to renew our vows this year. It will be our 15th anniversary and it is the year we found our way back to each other through Jesus. Feb 5th will be another amazing day for us!
I love this picture of him. Just look at those blue eyes :)
Thank you, Jesus, for blessing us with each other and our precious children.
