God's cleaning service.


Kaden: "Mom, you a good mom because you clean up our house."
Me: "Thanks Kaden. Sometimes I feel like that's all I ever do"
Kaden: "Well mom, I not a very good boy because I don't clean up my room."
Me: "Well you need to pray that God will help you with that."
Kaden: "God CAN'T help me clean my room because him's in heaven."

Joel and I were rolling on the floor laughing. Love him.

Colorado Adventure


Our little bear on the way up.




The view as we walked along. (Pike's Peak)



K at the summit.


Both of our snuggle bugs.

We were in Colorado over Memorial Day weekend for an absolutely beautiful wedding. But while we were there we decided to take our boys on a little hiking adventure. I am deathly afraid of heights, so anytime we've ever done these climbing adventures I've always had to talk myself into them. Seeing as how climbing the first step of a ladder freaks me out. I convince myself "God Protects" and just throw caution to the wind. Or something like that. lol. 
I love the adventure. I love experiencing God in this way. We just stand amazed and in awe at the summit of this mountain/cliff because next to them we are incredibly small. It puts God, life, and creation back into perspective. I serve an AWESOME God who is all powerful. Who hung the heavens. Who knows the depth of the deepest ocean. Who counts the hairs on my head and catches the tears that fall from my eyes. He calls me His child. I am by association apart of this Glory revealed. He is great, and I am not. He is strong, yet I am weak. He is holy, and I am but filthy rags. Yet still He calls me His own. Thank you God for the adoption you provide so freely through your son Jesus Christ. I stand in awe of Your power and glory.
