Probably my favorite pic of ALL time. 🥹 Never felt more special, powerful, beautiful, fulfilled and loved than I do with all of them by my side. ✨ Baby Sash would be thrilled to know her dreams came true, and that her babies would be this precious. 🥲🙏🏼 Thank You Lord. by @traininguptorrados

Psalm 127: 3, 5 Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Blessed is he whose quiver is full. 🩵🩵💖 Sad to say that most days I feel quite overwhelmed and incompetent. Then I see these three precious faces, the most beautiful souls I’ve ever known, and I’m reminded how truly blessed I am. 🥹🥲 So grateful I have a God Who is in every detail, Who wants to help me, and Who has chosen me. All I have to do is bring Him my basket of fish, give Him my best, and He will be the one that miraculously multiplies them, and feeds the thousands. He often uses the weak and insignificant to fulfill His will, it brings Him glory. ✨ Use me however You see fit Lord. Thank You for these treasures you’ve given me, and for the honor of being their mother, the greatest blessing of all. 🙏🏻🥰 #raisingarrows #blessedmama #IwanttomakeYouproud #myHelper #mytreasures by @traininguptorrados

This past week we celebrated three birthdays! ✨😅🙏🏼 Our angel girl turned 4 🥹 and Daddy and Mama turned 37! 😆❤️ felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Grateful the Lord has allowed us to live this long so far, and such full lives. Full of love, health and joy. Emphasis on the health! Lately I’ve become increasingly aware of just how many families are struggling with such severe health crises, my heart aches deeply for them. It has really helped shift my perspective, focus and priorities. We take SO much for granted and don’t realize how blessed we are. Thank You Heavenly Father for this life You’ve given me. ❤️‍🔥 Despite so much of society focused on preserving appearances, it truly feels so good growing older and wiser on this beautiful journey. by @traininguptorrados

Captured one of those super rare surreal moments, when they’re all in one spot and all looking up at me. My whole body tingles like “wow look at those precious souls the Lord brought through my body”. 🥹✨🤯🥰❤️‍🔥 My best friends. by @traininguptorrados

Last week we celebrated your first birthday. 🥲 This ain’t my first rodeo, and yet it still slipped by faster than I could keep up. 🥹 There’s something so mind-boggling about you and the way you mirror Noah. My two book ends. The way you were both born on your due dates (which is so rare), and only one week apart. My sweet summer babes. It was so hard processing all of it at once - my first baby turning 9 and my last baby turning 1. I didn’t make a huge celebration out of it (although you completely deserved one), because I think I was in denial 🫠 and it was all happening at once.

My sweet Shilo, I love you more than I could ever express. You came and changed me for the better. Opened my eyes to so much, took me out of auto pilot, and helped me to truly embody the woman I want to become. My incredible wild pregnancy and free birth (which I’m still writing because how do you even put that into words!?). You taught me how to trust myself and my Creator in profound ways. Shattered the matrix I was living in, and helped me realize everything I needed was already within me (2 Peter 1:3). Youre helping me dissolve my constant need for approval and permission. And you put a stop to the hamster wheel of constant outsourcing. Like each one of my babies you exposed and healed parts of me that were hidden.

You are pure sunshine and joy, the sweetest surprise from the Lord. You are so wild, passionate and free! You are so strong and so bright. You’re always one step ahead of the game because your brothers and sis are practically a cheat code to life haha. Such a sweet and happy baby. My barnacle boy, teaching me to surrender all over again - to a year of spitting up, endless night nursing, and car seat hating 😅 A year of pure love and light. Growing my capacity and courage. This year you helped me do more with four than I ever did with two. Thank you for all the oxytocin highs, the wet kisses and the way you light up when you look at me. 🥹 Always a little bittersweet saying good bye to the baby stage, but so so excited to get to watch you grow up and get to know you more. This song, your absolute fave for me to sing. Happy Birthday Shilito, ILY ❤️‍🔥 by @traininguptorrados

Happy birthday my sweet boy. Can’t believe it’s been 9 years already. 9 years falling in love with you and all that you are. Those big beautiful brown eyes and even bigger heart. I love the way you see this world, never rushing. Taking in even the smallest of details. You have a greater appreciation of Gods creation than most people ever will. I love the way you’re the first to reconcile no matter who was wrong. So loving, curious and courageous. Such a warm and wise soul. And that relentless upper body strength you posses, that allows you to gracefully swing through the trees, while everyone stares in disbelief (and panic) lol 😮‍💨🫠You’ve grown me in the ways I desperately needed, and I know this is just the beginning. Forever grateful I get to grow up with such a magical boy by my side. I am so excited for all the big boy adventures to come, while simultaneously trying to memorize all the beautiful moments we’ve already shared. 🥲❤️‍🔥 You were created for big things my Noah. My real life Tarzan, my enchanting boy, I love you SO much! Thanks for making our lives so whimsical ✨ May God bless and protect you always. by @traininguptorrados

Can’t believe it’s been a year since these photos. My 4th pregnancy, my precious surprise baby. Thank You Lord for this beautiful journey, for allowing me the blessing of creating and carrying life in my womb, for my incredible births and Your glorious design. Forever in awe of Your wonderful works, and the masterpiece of women, birth, breastfeeding and all the gifts and strengths you’ve given us. Help me to be grateful for this body and all the magic it has done and babies it’s sustained! 🙏🏼 Thanks to my boo boo @vsotophoto for these cherished memories. 📸 🥲 by @traininguptorrados

Looks like we made it, 7 years married. 🙏🏼 All by our Heavenly Father’s grace. As I always say, every year that passes is a miracle of His doing. 7, the number of completion. The year I always wanted to renew our vows (and hopefully soon we will). Deep down I always knew this season would bring great change and new beginnings. The closing of one chapter and the start of another. Never in my wildest dreams did I know just how LITERAL that would be for us at the 7 year mark. The shedding of the old: jobs, community, patterns, relationships, beliefs.. and starting completely from scratch. While it all feels a bit overwhelming and uncertain, like my heart is breaking and rejoicing all at once, I know that I know that I know our Marvelous Creator has nothing but goodness in store for us. He has been leading the way, closing and opening every door, and I trust that with obedience comes abundant blessings. The last 7 years has been full of extreme highs and the lowest lows and everything in between. Grateful we have made it this far, and so excited to start this new chapter with you. We have been talking about moving since 2020, and although it doesn’t look like what we initially dreamt up years ago, I am so excited to finally be taking this leap. Home has never really been a place for us, it’s just anywhere that we are all together. Happy anniversary boo! In a little over 2 weeks we go on our biggest adventure yet. Praying that the Lord will continue to guide and protect us, that this move will knit our family even more tightly together, and that He will surround us with the exact people we need. Here’s to more love, more adventures and new beginnings. I love you boo. ❤️ #7yearsmarried Making music and babies! by @traininguptorrados

Last week we celebrated 6 years of your life 💙🥹 Time is a thief. I love you to the moon and back papi! Some of my favorite things about you: what a gentleman you are, always “ladies first”. Consistently generous, whether it’s your snacks or toys, you’re always wanting to share. Your ability to spark up a full blown conversation with any random adult. The way you sit in the middle of your siblings and naturally place a possessive/ protective hand over each of them. How courageous and brave you are. Your sweet singing voice and love of music. Your fascination with old fashioned classic cars, specifically Volkswagens, and your patience watching car restorations. The way your first question about anyone is, “do they know Jesus?”. The way you passionately defend your brothers and sis. So many amazing things about my Zi guy, the list goes on and on… beyond blessed to be your Momma, the coolest kid around. Happy birthday!
