I am failing miserably at blogging again this week! Life is still going non-stop . . . lots of end-of-school activities, birthday party planning and baseball practice nearly every night. So I haven't been on the computer much again this week. It's just hard to find time!
I do want to thank you so very much for all the birthday wishes for the boys. They get such a kick out of reading them. And it truly means so much to me that you took the time to remember them. Many, many thanks!! I also received several e-mails about some comments not showing up . . . and I'm not sure what happened. I did not delete any . . . so I don't know why they didn't come through. But please don't think I rejected your comment! :)
So this will be short and sweet again today - but I promise a full update on Monday - with lots of birthday party pics! :)
But for now, I leave you with a few pictures for Favorite Foto Friday. The theme this week is "Pajama Party." The boys aren't into pajamas so much anymore . . . mostly sleeping in t-shirts and gym shorts now, but I was able to find quite a few pics of them from a couple of years ago! And they will still humor me by wearing matching Christmas pajamas. ;) Oh, how I love my pictures . . . so full of memories!

We had lots of pajama parties at the hospital . . .
and they always brought a big smile to Jacob's face!

The boys love to camp-out in the living room -
in their pajamas, of course!

What great pajama party pictures!
Have fun this weekend.
Heather - I LOVE coming to visit and I look forward to seeing picture of sweet Jacob ... I miss him and I never had the chance to 'meet' him but seeing pictures of him makes me smile ... I can only imagine how they make you feel! He truly is a beautiful soul! I also love seeing the smiling pictures of your boys! They always seem so happy - and Allie ... well there are no words to describe her - well except beautiful, cute and just so huggable! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend!
God Bless!
Rebekah, Jaden & Baby#2 TOO!
LOVE all of the sweet PJ pics of the boys and miss Allie. I remember seeing some of them from Jacob's CB site and they brought back memories. They seem to be such HAPPY children which is wonderful. I hope your weekend activities are a blast enjoy every minute.
Allison
What cute pics. Love all the pj's. My little guys had the same Buzz Lightyear jammies so it was fun to see those. Hope you have a great weekend!
There is nothing sweeter than kids in pjs.
Ok, those chunks on Allie's legs? How do you not just sit around scrunching those all day? My kiddos never had chunks, so I love me some baby chunks!
Have a great day.
What great pictures. I love the ones with all four boys dressed in the same PJ's and I love the outside picture of your daughter running to one of your sons. Too cute.
Have a great weekend.

LOve the Pictures...
TOTALLY PRICELESS~

Awww Heather... I know Pajama Parties have to be loud and snuggly at your house! I love seeing pictures of your beautiful Jacob in there too!! And Allie with her little bug on the back... too cute!
Thanks for the info on Mr. Linky. I have looked into it but am deathly afraid of html code stuff. Maybe you can help me figure it out!
Heather,
I just love all the matching Christmas pj's. Those pictures are so adorable! I only have one child and he loves his pj's. He will go shirtless not that he's 5 but only if no one is coming over! He's shy! :) Thanks again for sharing pictures and stories. I look so forward to your blog. I wish the boys a happy 8th birthday. I'm sure there will be moments that aren't too happy but know that Jacob is celebrating in the best way in heaven. God bless your family. I pray for you a lot!
Hugs from Missouri,
Shari
love the picture of Allie's backside. Cute!!
Wow..I love all your pictures! As I would scroll down I would think, "that's my favorite"..until I saw the next one..LOL. Your boys are too cute and look so close and happy and Allie is just a doll!
Timberly
You always have such lovely pictures, and quite a few of those I remember seeing at the time. I especially love the one of Allie on Kyles chest though, so special! And just wanted to say I am glad you are back!
Oh Heather every time I thought I had a favorite I scrolled down a bit further and found a new favorite. LOL Your kids take the BEST pictures and you are a great photographer. They just look so happy in every picture. Who couldn't smile seeing their beautiful happy faces?
I love seeing all of those smiling faces!!! I was amazed to see how much Allie has changed! I guess because I check in on your blog so often and see her pictures frequently, I hadn't noticed the changes until I looked back at an older picture! She has grown from a beautiful little baby into a gorgeous toddler! Pinch her (softly) for me please! And hugs for the boys too!
Can I just tell you - the picture of the FOUR of them in matching is the CUTEST THING EVER!!! I am IN love with those boys!
AWESOME pictures. It looks like you all have had lots of memorable pajama parties. Having 5 girls, our pajamas parties have looked a lot different than yours (lots of pink, nail polish, dancing....). Either way there is nothing like kids snuggled up in jammies!!!
Kelley
Glad to have FFF back this week! Aw such cutiepies in their jamies!
Thanks for the kind word of encouragement. I appreciate it. After 21 days, I get to add some chicken and fish and some cooked veggies. I really have gotten used to it and I am confortable going on. I have 40 pounds to loose and I am going to look so beautidul. I can't wait. Have a great weeekend.
Lauren
THis is like the fourth time I have come to post today, but keep getting interupted!!
So, Allie's little tush with a lady bug is just too cute.
I love that your boys all had so many jammies that matched and were so cute. I am a jammie lover. My girls have a few matching sets, but really love t-shirts. Nightgowns will be fun with Allie. I cried when both of the girls wore their first ones at about Allie's age.
Hope you have a fun weekend.
Heather ~ Love the PJ pictures! The one of Allie having her own little party...I laughed out loud! She's so stinkin' adorable, the perfect fit to you beautiful family.
Oh, yeah and the FROG background for Caringbridge....I instantly thought of Sweet Jacob when I saw they made a new one. I had to put it on!! So cute!
Hope you all have a spectacular weekend. As always....saying a prayer for your sweet family!!

Love seeing your pictures and seeing your sweet Jacob always tugs at my heart. Love your pictures. You are one blessed momma!
Life does have a way of doing that, doesn't it?
Still praying in Seattle!
Psalms 78:35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
Adorable!! I love the power rangers picture! Too Cute! Have a good weekend!
I love seeing little kids in their pj's! You've got so many adorable pictures.
Your kids are always smiling and joyful. Kids laughing and giggling....that's another thing I love about children.
I pray y'all have a wonderful day today with family & friends celebrating.
Jacob is celebrating too!
Love,
Valerie
What adorable pics!! I love all the matching pjs!!

Heather, just had to stop by and say I really enjoy all the FFF Pajama photos! You really have some sweet memories with Jacob in them, thanks for sharing! They all brought a huge smile to my face! Enjoy your weekend. Hugs from Fort Worth!
Hi, my mother-in-law gave me your blog address (not sure where she got it)and I have been reading for several months now. I wanted to leave you a comment and let you know what an inspiration you are to me. I think all of your kids are beautiful and you are truely blessed. My husband and I were just blessed with the birth of our miracle child (Jacob) and are currently in the process of adopting our princess from Guatemala.

Heather,
First of all let me tell you how happy I am that you are back. I really missed your uplifting posts.
I cant believe how the time has flown and that we are already done with another year of school.
The FFF pics are so cute. My Craig is the same way as your boys, they dont wear the "normal" pj's unless bribed.
Thank you for sharing your family with ours once again this week and again, I am so glad that you are back to regular bloggin'.
Take care and FROG,
In Him,
Kelly
Lovin' Miss Ladybug Butt! You guys are pj party finatics, aren't you?? I am impressed. I can't pick a favorite picture this week - I loved them all. BUT if I am forced to, then I'll go with Allie's first night photo or Christmas 2003! Praying you are having a terrific weekend! Ours is going well. In fact, there has been so much excitement that Ella went to bed at 6:30 this evening. Whew - and I am soon to follow.
Peace and Hugs,
Becca
love your photos, cute look alike pjs too
Sweet x 5 !!!
All of your children are amazingly precious in their own way! The love oozes from your pictures!
I love the tent photos...too cute!
Know I'm still praying!
Isaiah 12:2-3 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
ADORABLE ADORABLE ADORABLE...Your pics bring such a smile to my face!!!
Hey Sweet Heather,
Oh, I'm so sorry I did not get over to Jacob's page or sign here for the boys birthday.
No excuses, I'm just so sorry.
Loved all the PJ pictures, I remember all the ones with Jacob!
Hope the boys had a wonderful birthday. I know this day will be forever "bittersweet". You are one amazing woman Heather.
I'll look forward to Monday's update!
Been missing you♥
