Kenz recently celebrated her 9th birthday!  We had a busy day starting off with a sleepover with two friends Saturday evening, church, family photos, and then family birthday time.  We love our goof ball!

Thanks Gigi for gift from Justice!!  She was SUPER excited!!!

Thank you, Nana!

For Christmas last year, Nana spoiled our oldest daughter with an American Girl doll. Well our second daughter wasn't very happy about that. Three months later second daughter is now owner of her very own American Girl doll. Thank you, Nana!!

Cell phone abducted by boys

This video was too funny not to post.  My boys took my phone out of my back pocket at some point and recorded this video. This was also in the album of cell phone pictures that I had forgotten about.

"Hotwheels are classic." by Dom and "YOU ARE FIRED!" by J were my favorite lines!

outside playtime

sorry the videos aren't great quality..

old birthday videos

I was moving pictures around on the computer and found videos of the boys birthdays two years ago. They were so cute, I just had to post them!

Notice the wrong boy blowing out the candles in each one..

This sermon was just too good not to share!

"The gift of an ordinary day"

This video was a great reminder for me about the simple little things I do with the kids and how one day they will be gone. I hope it encourages you!

10.13.2011 - Beautiful heart

J came up to me and said, "Mom you have a beautiful heart" and a heart shapped peice of construction paper (made by his older sisters) was placed upon my chest.

This picture was taken a few weeks ago but I thought this was fititng with the video above.

I want to cherish these hard, difficult and extremely sweet days of my children.

Sit with You awhile

What do you allow to define who you are?

The Story of Jonah

The Story of Jonah is a told by a young girl. Watch until the end! :)

"You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you." Psalms 8:2 NLT

"Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger." Psalm 8:2 KJV

Defeating fear

We all struggle with some type of fear and need to be overcomers of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0SsKPEEse8&feature=player_embedded

father & son camping trip

Bobby and D (4yrs) joined some men from church and went on their first father & son camping trip last weekend! They enjoyed their time together fishing, playing with glow sticks, warming by the campfire and the freezing cold night (dropped down into the 30's). D ate up all the attention!! Here are some pictures Bobby captured of their time together!

D's fish!! He was SO proud!!

And now for his video....

"Three Questions"

And they crucified Him.

"The Battle Is Raging" by Laura Hackett

The battle is raging
The devil is raging
I dont want to be sleeping
While the battle is raging
For my spirit is willing
But my flesh gets tempted
Rise up, my soul, and start praying
Cause I dont want to be defenseless, yeah

I dont fight as one who beats the air
Give me eyes to see and ears to hear

I put on Christ, make no provision for my flesh
Put on the whole armor of God
Leave no open door to darkness
And I take the scroll, I eat the scroll
I open up my mouth and speak forth Your word
And I take the sword of the Spirit

Blessed be the Lord my Rock
Who trains my hands for battle, who trains my hands for war

Freedom

If you've never heard the song Freedom by Eddie James then look it up on youtube or something! Little girl LOVED watching the DVD we had. Too bad I can not find it anywhere now...

the littles and home school

Home schooling can be challenging some days. These two are 11 months apart. J is two and B will be two in December. :-)



Bethany is talking so much!

She's always had beautiful handwriting :)
