Beach fun with the family

This last weekend we were blessed to be able to join my entire family (Parents, siblings, and there children) over on the Oregon Coast. All of the cousins were together for 3 days straight, what a great chance for them to really get to know each other and just have a lot of fun. It was a beautiful weekend at the coast and the Love showered on us by my parents and the entire family was just one more reminder of just how much our God in heaven must love and care for us his children.

We are now home again and for all those who have helped us out financially or with prayer and friendship I can never express how it has blessed us. God is so great, so great that it is beyond human reasoning. Just getting to see the entire body of Christ working together the way it is meant to work is breathtaking.
Justin is still looking for work, yet we know that we are in Gods great hands and we ask for your prayers that we can see clearly his will for us.

The kids will start school next week. Prayers for smooth days and cheerful hearts would be fabulous. I will be teaching all 4 officially this year so a new adventure and growing experience awaits us all.

Happy 2nd Birthday to Kaylin

We had a fun birthday celebration for our sweet niece Kaylin to attend today. She is 2 years old already and chatting up a storm. :)

The 1st Boy

So this last week my Amazing Timothy turned 8. Yes the car seat was instantly abandoned on the front porch and had to be rescued from the rain by Daddy, who was reasonable enough to realize another boy would need it at some point in time.

Eight years ago I gave birth to this boy, to be honest I was terrified. Not of birth that I knew I could handle. I was terrified of a boy! I didn't know what to do with one and was kind of thinking God should have just given me girls. After all I am a girl so I understand them, right?

So here I am 8 years later with my beautiful girl and my now 3 boys. As always God was right, boys are amazing. Each of of my boys has taught me so much about myself and helped me understand the people around me better while they are at it.

Here he is Timothy at 8. Pencils/Paper, Building, Questioning, Quiet, Smart, Overalls, Dress shoes, Listening, Experimenting, growing into a little Man.

Boys are a blessing

Justin had to work this Saturday and it just happened that my nephew and niece who are far to old if you ask me were in town at my moms for the weekend. So my momma and I did a little trade off and I kept my Nephew and she took Evangeline. So it was just me and the boys Fri night and Sat morning.

Elias went with us to the Build and Grow clinic to help the boys build there pull back race cars. These are a big hit and if you have not checked out Lowes free building clinics yet I again recommend them.

Here Elias is being very patient with Caleb.

Can you believe this a teenager playing Motor Boat with his little cousins. This just makes me smile I am so glad that even with the age difference they all just Love each other.

Duck Duck Goose time. :)

And my Haven concentrating, wish I could be that focused when I do a project.
