Daddy's 30!!!

Our own little party last night at home on Daddy's actual Birthday. Thank you Daddy for being a wonderful dad and husband, we are so grateful to have you in our lives!!

We celebrated Daddy's 30th at his parents on March 28th with family and friends that live in town. That night I gave him his surprise... a lay out of sprinklers for the backyard. He had been wanting sprinklers forever, so.... I had the yard measured, plans drawn up, a trencher put on reserve and a work day organized for April 4th with his friends and Dad. What an amazing group of loving people that have helped us! It has been a very big project that should conclude here soon. I can't wait for grass for our boys to play in. Thanks to all of you that participated!!!!!

Fun with friends!

How cute is this picture? Caleb's first little friend, Kayla who is 6 months older than him. They will be able to play here in no time. Kayla's brother is Josh Josh (below) and the age gap between he and Caeden is very similar and now you wouldn't even know there are 7 months between them.
Caeden and Josh at the splash pad at the zoo! It is such a great idea to have a way to get wet in AZ while visiting the animals. :)
Here's our gang. Heidi, baby to be and Ella partied with us too! It's really fun to have so many friends!

The Prayer Garden

There is a precious prayer garden right by our house. Caeden and I have gone together four times now the week leading up to Easter. They have these great statues that show the pain and agony that Jesus went thru for us. Here is Caeden standing in front of the statue of them beating Jesus. He really seemed to understand the different stations this year, it was amazing!! And as we would look at the ones of Jesus in pain he would say, "Sorry Jesus!" Wow!
Here we thanked Jesus for all He did for us. I started saying Jesus you are the Ressurection and Caeden said Yes, I said you are the Life and Caeden said Yes, I said, you Jesus are truth and Caeden said Yes. I loved that those yes's came from Caeden's heart
They also have this great water fountain that you can take your cup to and receive water from the Father's comfort, mercy, love, patience, faithfullness etc.. We filled our bodies up with God's living water, it was so fun!!! And I loved getting an opportunity to have both boys with me this year.
And what a beautiful spot, it is such a place of serenity and peace! God thank you for coming to the dry places in our lives and pouring out your living water. We are so grateful to you for your Son and the life we receive through you!

Our first pet

The boys have a "beachy" bathroom and Caeden has been wanting a pet. So Daddy and I decided he could have a fish to put on the bathroom counter. We took him to the pet store last night and he was admiring the fish and we said would you like to have one? With a huge smile he said YES. He picked out the "fat" one and has named him Mr. Nemo. When he woke up he went to check on him and before he left today he went and said goodbye. We'll see how long the excitment lasts or the fish, I wonder which will go first???? :)
