New beginnings

Lorianne is now 5 yrs old. Wow where does the time go! She is ready to begin Kindergarten and we meet her teacher on August 18, school and will begin on August 22, 2011. Last week she started Cheerleading with the Vidor Pirate Cheerleaders and absolutely loves it!! So now we hear cheers from the time she wakes up till the time she goes to bed!! I think I could say them all with her! I cannot wait to see her grow throughout this next year!

Lyndzie is now 10 months old. She is crawling, standing and wanting to walk so bad!! Not only is she growing so fast she has 8 teeth (4 on top 4 on bottom)& the 9th on the way in!! She has a mouth full of teeth & loves eating!!! She is more like her daddy, interested in everything how to make it work and wants to do it by herself with no help.

I am thankful that the Lord allowed me to be their mother. They are the sweetest most beautiful children... For my cup runneth over.

Always always...

Happy 6 month Birthday!!

I cannot believe that my baby girl is 6 months old today. As I think about the journey to this point I can remember thinking that the last 6 months of pregnancy would never hurry up & these last 6 months of her life out of my belly will not slow down! She is growing so fast at 6 months she has her first tooth, rolling over, saying mama & wanting to crawl so bad!! The moment a child is born the mother is also born. She never existed before.The woman existed,but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new! I read this poem & thought how perfectly written this is. My two daughters are the best thing that has ever been mine & I do not know what I did before them! Lyndzie Brooke Gray Momma's Cup Runneth Over!

Is so Blessed

Sisters

It has been a while since I have been on here, all of us has been sick. Although I believe we are getting better a lot of things are on my mind. One is that my heart is so full of happiness and appreciation. Happiness that I have a mother that raised me to follow & walk with God. Appreciation that she showed me how to be a GREAT mother, if I can raise my kids half the way she raised me I think I will be doing good. I feel so blessed to have a wonderful man as my husband and two healthy daughters. At times I feel like I do not allow myself to stop & take it all in with the craziness of everyday things. Before long the seasons will change and our girls will no longer be babies they will be teens and then a wife & mother themselves. I never want to take advantage of this life that God has allowed me to live. Thank You God for sending your Son to die on the cross for such a sinner like me. My Cup Runneth Over- Always Always

First Practice of T-Ball

Yesterday was the first day of T-Ball. For Lorianne to be such a girlie-girl she absolutely loves it! Brought back so many good memories of myself when I played softball. I cannot wait to be screaming for her in my lawn chair at games. Yesterday as I bought my new (pink) lawn chair (and dad had to have blue...Lorianne said) I couldn't help but smile as I thought of my mom screaming from her chair as I played. Her & the ya-ya's would be lined up!! Here are a few pictures of her first day.

I am on my base...




So excited to do it again!



What a Big Girl

For weeks now Lorianne has been begging to ride the "Big Bus" so I finally gave in & let her try it out. Of course I first had to go meet the bus driver & know the route! His name is Mr. Barney & is very sweet. He let Lorianne ride in the special first seat!! She was so excited and wants to ride all the time now!! Here are a few pictures of the first ride!

All Smiles.... Such A Big Girl



Happy Anniversary!

Today is a happy day in the Gray house, it is mine & Scott's 5 year Anniversary. In a way it feels like where did the five years go and in another it feels like I have loved him my whole life. He is my best friend. I respect him in so many ways but what I respect the most about him is how loves, as a husband and a father to our beautiful girls. I am so grateful to God that he put us together & blessed us with this wonderful family! With All My Love, Always Always!

My First Blog

Today as I sit reading a friend's blog it occurred to me that I wanted something I could have for my girls to someday read and enjoy. So maybe they will know the joy that they have brought to my life. I do not want to forget the sound of Lorianne singing & teaching baby sister everything she knows and hearing Lyndzie laugh at everything she does. These beautiful voices are the soundtrack of my days. I know that one day they will fade away and it will just be and my wonderful husband. As much as I know that I will love that day, I also know that I do not want to forget the days in between. So this is for my beautiful daughters, Lorianne McKenzie & Lyndzie Brooke. Mommas cup Runneth Over.
