Prayer

So, I know everyone has been waiting for me to update this blog...but as usual, I have let time slip away from me...big surprise. I will be updating with pictures very soon...possibly this weekend...no promises;)...
Just wanted to ask for prayers for Brooklin's Great-Grandpa Jones. He is going through a hard time right now, and I strongly believe in the power of prayer at times like this. Please pray for God to lay his healing hand upon him and to give him peace. I can't imagine this world without him in it...he's a great man with a great heart...with a lot of people who love him. If it is his time, I do hope you will all pray for a wonderful journey to Heaven! If he is meant to stay with us, I pray for a speedy recovery! He's a fighter though, and I don't think he is ready to go yet...the main reason more than likely being his wife...hard to let go after all this time. He loves her dearly. They are both feisty and keep us smiling....reminds of what love really is. Marriages that survive all these years like that give the rest of us hope that true love does exist! Please pray for all of Brandon's family at this time, and please ask for strength for all of them. They will need it no matter what the outcome of the current situation. Pray for hearts to open up and love and fond memories to fill them! Thank you all for taking the time to talk to God today! We truly appreciate it!!! As always, you are all in my prayers too;)! xo

Growing and Growing....

Mommy's little model:)...looks so grown up in this pic.

Mommy and Brooklin...doesn't she look pouty (FYI, Daddy was mowing, and she hates the lawnmower).

Went to the zoo with Daddy, me, Mason, and Kai.

Also, went and hung out with her cousins Ava (pictured), Aiden, and Addison....she had lots of fun!

Daddy took us out on the boat...it was her first time and she loved it! Also, here's a pic of her and her brothers!

Papa and Grandma Snyder took us to the park! It was a lot of fun! Her and my dad are best friends...it's cute!

Loves her water table! Thanks Aunt Amanda and Uncle John!


Look how cute her new swimsuit is...thanks Gramma!...oh and quite the bathing beauty, eh:)!

I'm pretty sure this is how every day of the summer will end...she plays hard!

Miss Brooklin has been very busy playing outside now that we finally have decent weather...and when inside she is into everything too...quite a busy little girl. She is very into reading lately, and often brings a book over to me so that I will read to her. She has learned how to say "book". Very cute! She has decided that she is also very funny...cracks herself up...and of course everyone else too:). Had to have blood drawn last week as a routine to check for lead levels and anemia...was supposed to be done at 1 year, but I kept putting it off. Poor baby has bad veins like her momma and Grandma...awful! But as usual she was a trooper. Go on Friday for her next doctor visit. Can't wait to see how big she's gotten! Not sure where my baby went...but the big girl I have right now, I sure do love:)!
