This year is flying by and in the past few weeks so many things have happened. As I started out this year,momentous milestones were preparing to begin. Little did I know how difficult they would be and also very joyous and exciting. Granted, most of these are "Jordan" related, but as I type this, we are planning for Coop's 8th bday in a couple of weeks.

As Jordan so excitedly reminded me ....she has done a lot so far this year. She has gotten her lifeguard certification, obtained a job, opened her first checking account, obtained her learners permit and tonight...her first Prom. It's only May....

Coop now measures himself weekly to see if he is taller than me yet and each week he gets a little closer. He has learned to ride his bike, FINALLY. In between all of this...ballgames, ballgames, practice and ballgames for each kid!!!

Every time I start to complain about all the craziness that is our life these days, I remind myself how blessed we are. Our kids are healthy and are able to do all these things that we take for granted; we are healthy and able to run around with them; and we have a wonderful family that wants to be a part of each others lives by supporting each other at sporting, music and every other event possible. WOW...that's amazing..and only possible because God loves us soooooo.

So tonight is Prom...She and Josh made a gorgeous couple and Jordan looked like a Princess. I can't hardly believe that she is old enough to be doing this. Where did my little girl go? I am so proud of her, not for the beauty she has on the outside, but for the awesome young lady she has become. I am so blessed to be her mom. I wish I had been like her when I was growing up.

So another milestone has been achieved with many more to come this year. Not sure I have enough tissues for this year...Stock suggestion..whoever owns Kleenex!!!!(LOL)

Children are one of the precious gifts God ever gave us...I can't fathom how difficult it was for Him to sacrifice His One and Only for me and you. WOW...I don't know what else to say.
