Love these pics..captured the moment!

Laura sent me these pics and I just loved them, so I thought I would share them with all of you. I love the one of EJ, she titled it "Spiderman", if that is not elijah I don't know what is! I love my kiddos. They are so full of life!

Update on Rasha

So Rasha got home last night. The surgery went ok, they got most of the tumor, but couldn't dig around too much because it is right on the highway of the brain. So she has to radiation. She is having a harder recovery time this time, her eyesight is all messed up and it is really frustrating for her. Keep the prayers coming. She is a strong girl but right now I know that our prayers are really making a difference. Her family is doing well. I hope she is well soon, there is so much she wants to do. Lord bless you all tonight. God is good all the time!

Look Ma`...no training wheels! :)

We had a really fun day teaching Acacia how to ride a bike. She fell down at the end of it so we had to go get Dairy Queen to make the ouchies feel better. All in all, she did a really good job, we were very proud of her. Great job sweetie!

Bad News today....

This morning before church I got a phone call from my dear friend Rasha who had a brain tumor that was cancerous removed almost 2 years ago. Last night she found out it is back. She is in the hospital in Medford waiting to have surgery on Tues. If you could pray for her it would be greatly appreciated. She gives God all the glory..I am amazed by her strength..I know it comes from the Lord, but she allows him to use her as a vessel! I am truly in awe by her. She has 2 children, 1 in high school and 1 in jr. high. They are amazing kids as well. So thanks for the prayers, I will update how she is doing after the surgery. Lord bless you all...Thankyou Lord that you are risen! Happy Ressurection Day y'all! :)

Goofy Kids!

The kids had so much fun being goofy while were at the Kid's Imagination Space in Medford....I love watching them all interact! They are growing up so fast!

Carmel while we were camping last summer!

She is so full of life....Eva and Carmel are the little spitfire's of our family....she's squeezable! :)

Our first Girls' weekend in a year!!!

We haven't had a girls weekend in quite a while...life has changed quite a bit for both of our families in the past year. And I had been praying for time away for us, the Lord (of course) answered my prayers! We had a great time, shopping, chatting, eating...oh my eating...!!! So I made a little scrapblog of our time away in Eugene. I love you Laura Gwen! Not just my sista in Christ, but my family...I treasure the bond God has given us!

Thankin the Lord for the peeps he has put in my life!

I was reminded tonight of how blessed I am with all of the faithful people he has put in my life...don't have pics of them all, but I love you all dearly! :)

Elijah gets a Webkin...finally!

So Elijah has been wanting a webkin since Christmas when Sissy got one..well today was his lucky day! He was so excited....and you'll never guess what he named it...Spiderman! :) Go figure..my little superhero couldn't be without his puppy superhero friend! Acacia and Elijah were so cute tonight, when they went to bed, they both gave me big hugs, and said "thanks for lettin' Elijah (me) a webkin". I think Acacia was just as happy as Elijah was that he got one...they were very sweet tonight. As I was leaving their room after putting them in bed, I was smiling from ear to ear and had a wonderful realization...how wonderful it must be for our Lord when he blesses us with great gifts and all we can do is rejoice over them. I realized 2 things: 1-that us being thankful is so important...I can see how we can grieve his heart if we are unthankful. (thankfully my kiddos were so excited and thankful :)) 2-that the Father's heart is so full and happy to see us happy...10x more than anything we feel or imagine! What a cool evening...thanks Lord for the blessing of getting to bless my kids! ;) God is so cool!!!!!!
