Field Day fun!!

Levi and I joined Brody today for Hugh Goodwin Field Day! One of Brody's favorite days of school! ;)

Levi had these two sweet girls taking care of him all day. He had plenty of attention! 

Little brother got his face painted, too :)

And Brody's favorite event of Field Day - Tug O' War!!!

Somebody was pouting - he'd had enough. 

Even their awesome teacher joined them on the fun!

Mom's Day {2014}

Being a mom to these three sweet boys is the greatest gift ever. They'll never know how much I love them. And their baby brother on the other side of the world. 

We spent the morning at church, then had our families over for Mother's Day lunch. Brent cooked us a delicious meal!

Tara even surprised me by adding Lennox's name to my necklace. It's so special to look down and see him there with my other boys. I spent much of Mother's Day with Lennox's other moms on my mind. His birth mom and his foster mom. One who loved him enough to chose life for him and to make the unimaginable decision to place him for adoption with the hopes of him growing up with a loving family. And one who loves him and cares for him every day without reservation even knowing that he will soon leave and join his forever family. These two women are my heroes. 

After lunch, we drove to Bossier City and spent the evening at The Boardwalk. Lovely Mother's Day indeed!!

Brody's first Taekwondo belt promotion!

Brody started taking Taekwondo around Christmas, and he had his very first belt promotion last weekend! 

It was so much fun to watch! He was so nervous because he didn't know what to expect, but he did great!!

So very proud of this kiddo!!

May

I just can't believe May is halfway over. It's been a very busy, fun month - but we are oh so ready for lazy summer mornings!

My sweet boy reached 100 Accelerated Reader this week, so we celebrated with snow cones!! So proud that he loves to read. I hope he sticks with it!

What's the best thing to do on a rainy afternoon while little brother naps? Watch a movie under a homemade tent, of course! 

Or dress up like a fireman. :)

He also loves to water my plants when it's pretty outside! Cutest yard boy ever :)

Mayhaw 5k

Beckett loves to run with Brent and has been asking to run a race with him, so Brent signed them up for a local 5k!

He was soooo excited! Seriously, you would've thought he was getting to go to Disney world. Haha

And they're off!!

Brent pushed Levi in the stroller and Beckett ran along beside them. Brent said he made it about a mile and a half before joining Levi in the stroller for a break. :)

So proud of my little runner!!

April

Levi was so excited to get Eden's Dora birthday invitation!

We got Brody and Beckett's passports ordered a few weeks ago! So exciting! We hope to be using those puppies in a few months! 

Brody's first grade class picture - he's front and center. Can you tell I forgot it was picture day? Oops. 

Brent and I had to go to Little Rock a couple weeks ago for full psychological evaluations. This is a new requirement the Korean courts have released. Anything to get our boy home! 

And it has begun - baseball season!!! We love this time of year! Evenings spent at the ballpark!

The new bedroom for Brody and Lennox is still a work in progress, but I'm loving how it's coming together!!
