I am speechless . It doesn't matter how many pictures I see from that country.... I can never get used to the sadness and poverty I see in the peoples eyes . Boy a picture is worth a thousand words.

Here we go again ....


Here we go again ..... another boy = more heart attacks for mom . No he doesn't ride this yet but before I know it he will be ( it used to be Taylors) . I am just glad he is happy sitting on it for now. But trust me he KNOWS it is his . eeeeekkkkkkk

The time has come .......

SISTERS Me Kristin Melodie

The time has come for my sister and her family to leave for YWAM (youth with a mission ) for SIX months. They will be in DTS (discipleship training school ) for 3 months and then they will spend 3 months in South Africa for their mission outreach. Oh boy ... this will be hard for me . My sister lives next door so we see each other many times a day . So I might get a little whiny over the next 6 months :)
If you would like to follow their journey click here . Hopefully starting in one week they will be updating. I told them they have to blog at least twice a week ( we will start easy with them :)

Please remember them in your thoughts and prayers as they are being faithful to Gods call for their life .
Also my sister , her husband and another couple started a awesome non profit organization to help provide financial assistance to couples wanting to adopt but can't afford it . Check out their amazing work
God is never finished with us . We are a "work in progress" if we allow him to use us . So "let go and let God" and he will bring your life to amazing places :)

FFF HOPE

There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. Proverbs 23:18


Donations for the flood victims in Guate




This is a picture of a home destroyed by the recent floods in Guatemala





Handing out clothes to the people who lost everything







We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. Psalms 33:20







The bible has so many verse on HOPE . That is so comforting to me .... I can't imagine how comforting and encouraging it is to all of these people who have nothing.
But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. Psalms 71:14

How could it be ??

Gee ... I wonder who dominates this relationship. Hug or headlock ??



Miss Latin Lips


How could it be that something this cute








could be so spunky :) (this is for all of you that don't believe me that sweet Bray has turned over a new spunky leaf)





Arianna loves it when Brayden is spunky she says "look mom I am not spunky "



"I am happy" . And she gives me this fake chessy smile !! LoL

Feeling bad

I am feeling so bad for Angelika . This year she has sooooo much homework. This is what she looks like when she comes home. She is so overwhelmed I can't even get a smile out of her !! I remember in 7th grade is when you get the "real deal" homework.
