Wife/Mommy of the year!

This blog is filled with amazing stories and pictures of our family, especially our 3 beautiful little girls.  Renee has even posted a few about me, but there aren’t any blogs about the woman behind the scenes who writes these posts.  I figured out her password and wanted to post this blog so I can share a little bit about the amazing woman behind these stories.

They say that everything happens for a reason.  I truly do believe that.  Renee and I have been together for 13 years and I feel so fortunate to have been able to go on this journey with her.  Everyday has been a blessing.

I’m lucky to have married such an amazing woman.  I’ve never met anyone who genuinely cares more about other people.  She is the most loving, caring, Godly, selfless person I know.  She has made me a better person and I can’t thank her enough for helping me become the man I am today.

What a view!

Not only is she an amazing person and loving wife, but she is the most incredible mother to our 3 girls.  I can’t even begin to describe what a wonderful mother she is.  There have been difficult times; the NICU, all the hospital and doctor visits, the sleepless nights and much more. Through all those tough times she never stops being our rock.  Our girls don’t know how lucky they are to have you as their mommy, but I am so lucky to have you as my wife.

Thank you Renee.  Thank you for your selflessness, your faith, your love, and thank you for always being there for our family.

I love you past the sun the moon and the stars. 
 

Easter & Spring Break

 Now that Easter and Spring break are over, I feel like our schedule is finally getting back to normal. Last week Jayden was off of school for her Easter break and we had so much fun together! We had so many mommy & Jayden dates and we had a TON of Easter festivities!

Even though we didn't make it to see the Easter bunny his year -- mom fail -- we did take the girls on a ton of egg hunts and we had lots of friends, family and Jesus time. He is, afterall, the reason for the season! 

First hunt with friends from church!

Hunt #2 at Tustin Sports Park with Memaw & Papa!

Hunt #3 at Denisse's!

Time to celebrate Jesus at church! We decided to go early this year so we could spend all day on Easter Sunday with family. The outdoor service an awesome and the weather could not have been better!

That night after church, we hid the Easter baskets for the girls ~ so on Easter morning Jonathan explained they each have a basket that they need to go find! It was hilarious watching the girls run all over the house looking for them!

Next -- off to Bre & Al's house! All the girls wore their adorable Parisian dresses that my grandma brought back from Paris for them last year. 

All four girls with their Great Grandma Dee!! <3

Four generations of girls right here! 

Just missing Lexi & Brooklyn and the pic would have been complete.

Opening their Easter surprises! The girls especially loved opening the eggs with candy in them! :)

My mom got the girls the cutest hula outfits from Hawaii. This was probably one of my favorite pics of the girls from Easter. What's better than Parisian dresses with Hawaiian hula skirts?!

Time for the next Egg Hunt! This is #4! Hula skirts & all!

Next ... off to Memaw and Papa's house to continue the Easter celebration!

... and another Egg hunt! The last one...#5!

Savannah was a little sleepy -- she just watched the other girls collect all the eggs.

Sophia wanted to help cook Easter dinner while Savannah hung out with her baby doll!

Ended the night with a fun game of hide-and-go-seek. Sophia made our night by playing peek-a-boo with the family! It was ADORABLE! <3

Such a fun time with friends & family! And it never gets old hanging with these cute girlies! 

Happy Easter!!
