We have had a FUN 1st day!!
We started with buying someone coffee...and me too! ðĪĢ (it is one of our favorites)
Then we went to get some supplies at HEB. While we were there, the kids took some carts back for some elderly customers who were THRILLED. ❤️
At home, we cooked up some goodies and delivered them to our favorite librarians. And to our neighbors! So FUN!
Now we are home planning for tomorrow.
Day 1 ✅
#Ezra #2yearsinHeaven #MissYouE
Would love to hear about your day!

Two Days from RAKE
You guys!! We are getting EXCITED! Friday we invade our cities...with kindness! The kids are picking out their Acts of Kindness...me too! If you would like to join us, just comment. I can email or mail you some leave behind cards. :) It really is simple, and FUN!
If you are just joining us...here's the scoop:
In honor of Ezra being in Heaven 2 Years, we are celebrating with 1 week of Kindness.
We will be doing acts of kindness for the whole week. Friday, February 23rd- March 1st. With special emphasis on March 1st of course!
How can you help? Please do an act of kindness (or many) in honor of Ezra during this week! They can be simple or complex...whatever you want to do! When you do your act of kindness, please give them one of the “Ezra Cards” So Easy! My dream is that together we do hundreds of acts of kindness this week! The world needs some kindness! What better way to honor someone...than to bless someone else in their name!
One of the reasons we settled on Acts of Kindness is because we wanted to be able to involve our kiddos! So, please, involve the kids! They will often lead the way with their tender hearts!

Five Days to RAKE 2018
Friday is the beginning of our week of kindness for Ezra! (It is almost impossible to believe that we are 10 days away from E's Heaven Day.)
Would you join us again for year 2? It's easy. It's fun. All the kiddos can help! There are so many different simple things you can do to show someone kindness. And honestly, it honors our sweet Ezra's life and fills our hearts all at the same time!
Throughout the week we will post ideas and pictures of some of the Acts of Kindness that were done last year.... And then on Friday, we will hit the streets ready to bless the people!
If you would like the Ezra pass along cards, please comment below or text me. I am happy to send them in the mail to you, arrange a pickup time (if you are local), or just email you the pdf file so you can print them yourself!
Thank you, friends....for walking alongside us. Thank you for helping us see the beauty from ashes. We are always thankful. Always.
*Feel free to share...invite your friends, your students, your small groups, and your families... let's bless ALL the people this week!

A Gift of Rodeo
The girls and I were gifted tickets to the Rodeo and Casting Crowns concert last night!We had an amazing time! (Back at home, Izzy and Jake had a boys night). What a wonderful night for all of us. Side Note...I love watching my girls worship ðð side note 2...I can cry anywhere ðĪ·♀️ð
The Things Boys Say
At Office Depot the other day getting somethings printed.
Izzy looks up at me and says: “ mom, I don’t think I am going to go to the bathroom good today.”
Me: silent ðĪ·♀️
Izzy: “Mom! I still can pee, but poop is going to hurt!
Me: ðģðģðģ
Nice people in the print section of store:ðððð
Me: ok bud...I’ll ask the question...why are you going to have trouble?
Izzy: “Because at swimming I ate some ROCKS..They don’t really taste like anything! “
Nice people in the print section of store:ðððð
Me: “Hmmm, hey bud, we (you know humans) we don’t eat rocks. ðð
Izzy: “I know Mom I just wanted to try them! The inside of the rocks are not bad!”
Your welcome people of Office Depot ðĪĶ♀️ðĪ·♀️ðĪĶ♀️ðĪ·♀️ððĪĢ
Later...turns out he ate his friend’s favorite rock! ðĪŠ. Boys are weird. ❤️Izzy

Spurs & Sadie
Celebrating this sweet girl and all her hard work tonight! Today she finished 5th grade Math...the whole thing. She is moving on to sixth grade Math next week! This girl is self motivated! It is ALL her idea to complete 2 Math curriculums this year. (Mom may have even tried to talk her out of it! ðģðĪĶ♀️ðĪ·♀️) We are so proud of her and the way she works at the goals she sets! We ❤️❤️ you Sadie Grace! #GoSpursGo
23 Months.....
Somehow it is the 1st…again! Happy 23 months in Heaven little one! I’m really not sure what happened to January. I believe that the first half of the month was just simply recovering from the holidays. Because honestly no matter how much fun we cram into the holidays, it is just not the same with you gone. It doesn’t mean it is bad. It just means your absence is SO glaring in every family event, every vacation, every empty stocking, every cousin get together, every picture. So after pressing through all the events, January left me empty. Your siblings too. There have been an increased number of tears shed this past month…just because they miss you.
And this second year of missing you is hard. So hard. It is like every day is a reminder that you are gone. (Like we need one) But somehow instead of just getting through the 1st Christmas without you….now we start the process of every Christmas without you.
From here out…that is a hard conclusion to come to. And obviously it is not just Christmas. It’s Thanksgiving…It’s your birthday… It’s everyday things I wish you were still doing.
I honestly wish you were still disrupting every. Single. Part. Of our days.
I wish to have to search the trash for what you just threw away.
I wish I was chasing you away from potties and planning my days around your naptime.
Thankfully, I know that you are in the BEST place. The very best.
And I just imagine the joy you had here with us is infinitely more walking and exploring the streets of Heaven.
I can see the wonder in your eyes.
I can hear your laugh.
I can imagine the bear hugs you give Jesus, Grandpere, Meme, Granny, and all the others who know and love you. (I miss them so much)
I can see Jesus lifting you and spinning you around while you both laugh and laugh.
And I will hold on to all of those things until I get to experience them with you!
We love you so much Ezra. You birth stretched me into the leader of a 3 ring circus(ð), but your death has changed every part of me.
I know at the end I will be a better person because of this….it is just a sucky road to travel. (Sucky is appropriate…because it literally feels like life/energy is sucked out of you as you travel this road)
We miss you E. You are loved forever and every and every!
❤️,
Mommy
Friends, as I look in the very near future, I see the 2 year mark...so close. I don’t dwell on it. But please be on the look out for year 2 of Random Acts of Kindness! We had such an AMAZING response last year and it really was such an balm to our souls! We are looking forward to an bigger and better year 2! We will be passing along more Kindness and spreading more joy to anyone we can! And spreading awareness of SUDC! Please consider joining us again...it really is SO much fun.
We are thankful for each of you and your willingness to walk beside us. We are surrounded by God's best. ❤️❤️
