Wow I can't believe that Jaxon turns 7 today. I remember the day we first met him and how little he was. Now he's mister independent and growing like a weed. He woke up extremely early this morning so excited to frost his cupcakes for school. I asked him what he wanted his birthday meal to be and he says "pancakes, sausage, cheeseburgers, Mac and cheese and corn". I offered to make pancakes for him but he wanted to go to Yoders cause he knew they would make a fuss over him. So we woke jahsin up and met daddy for breakfast. He got his choc chip pancakes and sausage and the girls sang happy birthday to him with a candle lit doughnut. He loved it! So for dinner I was able to talk him out of the pancakes and sausage.
His birthday always makes me think of how Gods plan for our lives is always better then what we could ever imagine. Seven years ago today matt and I were praying for a child to start our family. And seven years ago today a women on the other side of the world was giving birth to a little boy she decided she wanted to give a better life to. So today is more then just another birthday for jaxon its a day to celebrate the life we have been blessed with. I would of never guessed that my life would be on this path with two precious little boys but God did, and Im so grateful for the many Blessings He has given us.
I love you my dear Jaxon!

The Heart of a child!!
My boys amaze me everyday, usually in a good way but sometimes in a way that makes me question my parenting skills :)
Today was one of those days that I smiled and realized that I must be something right. In the car we listen to a radio station called The Word FM. Since Thursday they have been doing a radiothon to raise money for next year. So we have been listening to this now for 3 days in the car as they are talking about the people calling in and donating and the stories of the people who listen and are affected by the station. I was telling Jaxon that earlier in the week they were having different pray themes every hour and one of those hours was for children. During that hour I had called and had someone pray for him and his brother.
So today when Jaxon got home from school he asked if he could give a donation. I said sure and called his daddy to see if he thought it would be a good idea. He said yes of course so I talked to Jaxon to see what he was thinking and he decided he wanted to give a dollar a day for this month. His birthday is in a couple of weeks so he wants to give his birthday money to the station. So I let him call and talk to the guy himself. Before he said goodbye he asked the guy if he needed more to keep the station running next year. The guy was super nice and told him that his donation will help them keep the station on the air for another year and thanked him for his willingness to give. Jaxon was so excited to have helped and that I let him do it himself. I could not believe how big his heart is. I wish I could have the child like faith to believe that what I need would be there. His birthday is not for another 2 weeks yet he believes he will get enough money to donate his pledge. I know that God is working in him and I am so thankful that He chose me and Matt to be his parents. He is a true blessing and inspiration to both of us.
