I Want a Fishin' Pole

Towards the beginning of the Summer, Kennedi saw a fishing pole in Wal-Mart and decided that she wanted to go fishing. I don't know where she has ever seen somebody fishing, but she decided that she wanted to do it. She talked about it a lot at first, but then stopped for a while. Then at the very end of the Summer, she all of a sudden brought it up again. She would constantly talk about how she wanted a "fishin' pole" and that it had to be a princess one. We kept telling her that she could get one for her birthday. (in November!) She kept saying that she wanted one for her birthday, but didn't realize that her birthday wasn't for another 3 months!
Jerrod has an AMAZING aunt and uncle who love us and our children dearly. We are very close to them and love and appreciate them so much. Jerrod told Aunt Gina about Kennedi talking about her fishing pole. Well, Gina called us right before we were getting to Tulsa and asked if she could buy one for her as an early birthday gift.

So, when we got to Aunt Gina's she gave Kennedi her gift. She opened it and didn't really know what it was at first and then she realized what it was and said, "It's a princess fishin' pole!" She was so excited. Right away, she wanted to play with it, so Uncle Tim taught her how to "cast" and "reel" in the line. He was so great with her. Of course, after dinner, we had to go fishing at the pond near their home. We didn't put a hook or bait on Kennedi's line for safety reasons, but the guys fished right there next to her as she cast her line into the pond over and over again.

Treyce (Jerrod's cousin) actually caught a fish and Kennedi's face was priceless as he reeled in that fish. She then got angry that she wasn't catching any! It was so funny. We had so much fun with them that night. We are so blessed to have them in our lives. Thank you Gina and Tim, and your sweet family, for being so great. We love you!
They also bought Kaden a birthday present.
Kennedi and Aunt Jaela.

How cute!! We got Jenna that same fishing pole this summer too. We tried putting a hook on it, but she got nervous when she actually caught a fish! So she is just as happy with casting and reeling in the crown :) We'll have to get them together for a fishing party sometime!

It has been a very long time since I have last posted.  Very long.  I have so much catching up to do, but I need to write about a very special little girl and the fact that she is turning TWELVE today.  I first wrote about my story here .  If you have no idea what I am talking about start there.  Read my story.  It was the first time that I really shared my story out in the open for the whole world to read about.  Five years later, so many things have changed.  I have changed.  We have added 2 more beautiful boys to our family.  We are blessed beyond what we could have imagined.  Today, I will be thinking about Alex all day and I will play the events over and over in my head for the next few days. Alex is twelve today and that blows my mind.  Sometimes I feel like that experience was something that I just lived and other times it seems like forever ago.  But, I can't help but continue to ache for her and ache for that re...

A VERY Significant Day

I am behind on some blogging, but I realized that I won't be able to get all of that done right now before I post this. And, I really want to post this today. Some people get the opportunity to have something so significant in their life happen that changes them forever. I am one of those people. Today is a very special day for me. One of a few very special and significant days for me. I have only been celebrating this day for the past 7 years, but I will celebrate it for the rest of my life. Today is Birthmothers Day. Yes, I am a birthmother. I know that most of you do know this about me, but there are some of you who don't know and this will come as a shock to you. I wanted to take this opportunity to write down my feelings and hopefully I can share some sort of insight to this topic. For those of you who don't know...a birthmother is someone who has placed a baby for adoption. When I was 18 I discovered that I was pregnant and was scared beyond imagination. F...

My Story--10 Years

Image
I have many titles, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, etc.  I cherish all of those titles, and try to be the best that I can be in each of those areas.  But, a title that I hold very dear to my heart is the title of "Birthmother".  Almost three years ago, I came "out" to the world that I was a Birthmother.  Close friends and family knew, but I wasn't ready to be so open about it yet.  I finally felt I was ready, and wrote my story HERE .  Please feel free to read it.  It is a long one, but it is the whole story. That was three years ago when Alex was seven.  Now she is TEN!   I have changed a lot in ten years.  I am so much more open with my story.  I am proud of the woman that I have become and the decisions that I have made in my life to follow my Heavenly Father.  I don't care who knows my story now.  If they hear it from me, then it is told the right way. Today is Alex's tenth birthday!!  Whenever h...
