One fine day.

It was a beautiful day, in Waco...

A day worthy of an outdoor nap...

...just kidding. Wayyy too much fun to be had.

Why snooze when you can spend the afternoon making pig noises...

...building sand trucks and sand turtles...

...digging holes in the sand to sit in...

...and getting a front row ticket to watch the most fun big brother ever?

My boys change minute by minute, hour by hour...

... their reactions, their faces, and the things they learn.

I adore the smiles...

...the big giggly laughs...

...the "wowwww's"...

... and the sweet sweet heart that I know they've both been given.

Time goes by so quickly... little feet turn in to bigger feet...

...and these little boys will some day be teenagers, and later on husbands and daddies.

I pray at the end of the day as they lay their heads down and sleep...

...that they remember all of the good from the day, none of the bad...

...that they remember how much Jesus loves them and someday desire and form a relationship with Him, too...

And as they reminisce about these fun outdoor spring afternoons...

... full of dirty clothes and sock-less toes,

...that they'll look back and remember the simpler days and the joy that we felt, this beautiful spring day.
