Jay's Kinda Way.

We celebrated my birthday this past weekend.

My favorite part-

Lake time with my boys!
We had the entire lake to ourselves.

This one is seriously entertaining.

Husband! Why did you pack your binoculars?

And what are you looking at???

I'm trying to spot some deer.

Well, alright ;)

Check out this contraption of his.

Guess who is hiding under it???

It's baby Minky!!!

Safe from the sun and completely content.

Life is good.

As we were packing I said to my man,

We need an umbrella for Grey.

Don't worry- I already packed my tarp!

Your tarp?! Can't we just take a normal beach umbrella?

Babe. Don't worry. I have it under control.

(AHA! Moment.)

That's just it.

He has his own way of making our life so very beautiful!

He does life in his own..

Jay's kinda way...

 motivates me to refuse to stay the same and to continue to grow.

To keep pursuing Jesus wholeheartedly.

To keep pursuing him and the vows that we made.

To be the very best mother I can possibly be to our son.

To push through the hard times and to rejoice like crazy in the good.

And...

to make this next year of my life a great one.

A year full of extra patience, grace, gratefullness, growth, dedication, and love

for those who I get to call mine.

Those who consume my heart-every minute of my every day.
