Fun in the sun.

The weather has been lovely..

and we've been headed outside!

Moses is serious about his water table.

She is cute as can be..

Crazy-hair-thing...

Such a sweet pair!

20 Week Ultrasound and Thomas the Train

We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday and I somehow managed to emerge without finding out if we are expecting a boy or a girl. Oh man. I cannot wait!

The little sweetie pointed at us the entire time.

Precious profile.

Stretch, stretch, stretching!!

Both of my little sweeties are under the weather. We headed off to Walmart today to pick up some supplies and Moses spotted some Thomas the Train pj's. Normally I would say no.. but they were cheap and, well, they're pajama's. As in he will only sleep in them. As soon as we were in the car he snuggled them until we got home and he could wear them. So silly.

Here he is, modeling. He may look upset.. but he just really wants Sarah to be in the picture, too.

As he requested....

Happy weekend!

Things I love: Ruby Reds.

Ruby Reds are a vitamin, enzyme, and probiotic blend made from red fruits and veggies. I mix it with some orange juice and it is really, really yummy. Moses drinks it, I mix it in with his and Sarah's yogurt.. we are all hooked on the Ruby Reds! (And for all you nursing mama's out there, stir in some barley greens and it will really help keep your milk supply going!) Normally one of these containers would be about $35, but they are having a spring special and you can get one jar for $19.95 with .99 cent shipping. I'm pretty sure you have to call customer service and mention the spring add to get the discount! You can check out the website HERE.

Your Daily Hayes.

Sufficiency.

Today I have come face to face with my insufficiency as a mother.

Tired, frustrated, short sighted.

And trying, trying, trying to surrender to the Father and allow him to do through me what I cannot do on my own. Trying to remember that I want to sow the seeds of grace, tenderness and my time in my children. Knowing, also, that it is God himself that provides these seeds.

"Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness...."

2 Corinthians 9:10

Moses comes and leans against me as I play with Sarah on the ground.. I look at him and say, "Moses, I am sorry I'm not a better mama."

And my sweet boy looks at me and smiles, wraps his hands around my neck and kisses me. And I squeeze that little boy and thank God for his goodness to me.

"And He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.'"

2 Corinthians 12:9

"Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 18:3

How we roll.

Some days it feels like we're drowning in toys. Toys, toys, toys. In the toy box. Under the couch. Under the beds. Ev-er-y-where.

I mean, really.

So I have come up with a plan. I bought some crates from Walmart for $3 a piece and I divvy up the toys.

Here, we are divvy-ing.

The cutest divvy-er ever.

I hide the extra toys in the closet and every few days I pull out a new crate and, voila!, "new" toys!

Happy Tuesday!

Your Daily Sarah

Helping. Kinda.

Taking a rest from all that hard work. I love how she drinks her milk.. on her side.. legs crossed.. playing with her hair. Adorable.
