Railey is 5!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I will never forget the day that my Rae Rae was born. It seemed like we waited forever for her to make her grand entrance. Finally, after hours and hours of telling Katie to "work harder" and "be patient" at the same time, Railey Brooke Turner decided to enter the world and meet all of those who were awaiting her arrival!!! June 21st we celebrated her 5th birthday and it was extremely bittersweet! She has grown so much over the past 5 years and has truly, truly brought so much JOY and laughter to my life personally. She is a supporter, encourager, believer and friend to me and is only 5!!! I honestly know that my Rae Rae loves her "Sacie" very much and I know that she knows I love her just as much, if not more. Her quirkyness reminds me of my sisters and I growing up. Her girly girl style reminds me of my sister to a tee! She is a great combination of the Watkins and the Turner families. She is very strong willed, beautiful, independent, smart, inquisitive, kind and caring, loving and shy little girl. There isnt a day that I dont think about her and there is never more than a couple of days that I go without seeing her. She is such a blessing to me, to my family and I am so thankful that God gave us her. Kudos to Justin and Katie for raising such a beautiful little person, inside and out. 
We celebrated her birthday with a "Mod Barbie" party at my parents barn. Alot of man hours went into decorating and details to make her special day spectacular. She had so much fun with her friends. Here are a few pics. Enjoy!!!

Asher's World

It was brought to my attention that I needed to update my blog. Boy were you right Erin!!! I had no idea it had been so long since my last post.

A lot has been going on in our world. Life is moving along so quickly. Asher is growing like a weed. He is talking more and more every day and it is absolutely mind blowing listening and observing the things he says and does. He is so smart! I know, I know.....I may be partial because he is my child, but I swear he is so amazing. He is such a little man. I sit and think back to the day he was born and I cannot believe that it has been over a year since we finally met him. What a perfect gift God has given us! Asher teaches me so much and has absolutely NO IDEA that he is doing that. He has taught me to enjoy every moment and not take things for granted. He has taught me kindness and love in a different way than anyone else has ever shown me. He has taught me patience and understanding. He has taught me to be more Faithful and Prayerful everyday. This little 2 ft person, lights up my day every day. He makes me forget about the stress at work and the stress from life in general. When I wake up and see him and he gives the best and biggest "squeezy hugs" ever...I can feel my heart smiling and Man does it feel great! He is such a loved little guy and I pray that he will reciprocate that throughout his life.
