Partying with Friends (12-12-09)...

One of my favorite events of the Christmas season is always our friend Christmas party. Great food. Great friends. Great fellowship.... Who could want more. It's amazing how different things have gotten for us though. We went from a bunch of girls, to a bunch of dating couples, to a few married couples and a few engaged couples and a few still dating couples, to a few married couples with children and a few married couples and a few engaged couples and a few still dating couples...

Here's me and my little man...

My husband was the "frito station." Jax and Micah couldn't eat enough fritos that night...

Jax opened his backyardigans glove and ball from josh and ber...

Our little green family...

Santa made an appearance...

...but he wasn't a hit with any of the kids.

But he was a hit with her... for some reason ;)

Our beautiful children...

We used to get girls pictures and guys pictures, and pictures of each couple. Another thing that goes to show how much life is changed is the fact that all of the pictures on my camera involved the kids...

Life is certainly different... but life is certainly good!

The Beginning...

Justin and Kendra fell in love on their first date- May 13, 2005. Five months later he put a ring on her finger and asked her to be his wife. On May 20, 2006 they stood before their family and friends and said "I do," and God placed a blessing on their new lives together. Anniversary number one brought a big surprise and on February 24, 2008- Jaxon Thorpe Mason graced us with his amazing presence and we became a family. Almost three years later, God blessed us with our second son, Knox Holmes Mason, and we are more in love with Him, with each other and with our kiddos than we thought we could ever be...

The Daddy

Oh, him? Justin is not only the best Daddy in the world, but he's also the guy that holds the key to my heart. He loves me like no one has ever loved me, and like no one else will ever love me. Even though we drive each other crazy sometimes, we both know we're soul mates. Our love is real and we thank God for it. Justin is an amazing man of God, and the thing that I love most about him is the fact that he's real. His "boyish good looks" first caught my eye, but his love for the Lord won my heart. Well, that and his gorgeous smile!

The Mommy

If there's one thing I can do, it's love. And I do that as passionately and as crazy as I can. I view much of life through my camera lens, and I love being "just a stay-at home" mom and I'm thankful for my daily experiences with Jaxon and Knox. Every night, I look at my beautiful little boys and thank God for letting me be exhausted at the end of the day. Not only am I crazy in love with my sons, but I love my goofy husband so much that some days I feel like my heart will bust. I am loved by my Jesus, and every day with Him is sweeter than the day before. I thank Him every day for choosing me to be the love of Justin's life and the Mommy to sweet Jaxon and baby Knox.

The Big Brother Superhero.

Our boys are our life- and we are so thankful for our oldest son, Jaxon. He's one of the reasons that we wake up every day. He has shown us what really matters in life. He has an amazing personality and is one of the funniest little people that I have ever met. I'm not just saying that because I'm his mom. The boy REALLY IS FUNNY! He keeps us laughing. At five, he enjoys playing anything involving a ball, music, Spiderman & Batman and hanging out with his Baby Brother. He's hilarious, stubborn and loved beyond measure. He's my strength and our joy. Words can't express how proud we are of this big boy! His name means "God has been gracious," and God most certainly has!

The Little Brother Superhero.

We never knew how much love our hearts could actually hold, until we welcomed our second son into this world. Knox doubled the size of our hearts and made our lives so much brighter. He has the most beautiful big, brown eyes, and a smile that starts a chain reaction, because when you see it, you can't help but smile yourself. The child has a laugh that could melt the coldest of hearts. His big brother is crazy about him, and so are his Mommy and Daddy. He's never still, no not for a second. He loves to eat. He loves shoes. He loves Mickey Mouse, Toy Story & Cars, but he loves his Big Brother the most. Sweet baby Knox is our precious gift from God.
