J turns 13!!

Oh my! I have 2 teens now! It seems like only yesterday that J was born. He's always been inquisitive with such energy and enthusiasm. And such faith. He never gives up. I love him dearly and pray the Lord will continue to lead and guide him.

K turns 2

K's bday party. Blowing out the candles with her 3 big brothers. So cute!

My 4 favorites....

When I tuck the kids in bed at night I always say, "You are one of my 4 favorites." Or "You are my favorite ___ year old."

They are ALL true blessings!

Baseball season has started

Z had his first baseball game on Friday. The Angels won 7-0. It was a great first game. He was the DH.

K has the yuk-yuks

Poor K woke up from her nap after church yesterday and had a bad tummy. So all throughout JJ's party I was taking care of a sick baby wiht plenty of help from the rest of the family.

But she was so cute...everytime she felt sick she would say--"Yuk-Yuks comin'"

I think she's better today. So we are hoping for no more "yuk-yuks"

JJ is 10!

My sweet JJ turned 10 yesterday. I can't believe it!! Where has the time gone.

He is a wonderful son full of joy and smiles. And always so eager to help.

I am so blessed to have him as my son!

Speech

Last weekend, our boys participated in an NCFCA speech tournament.

All 3 of the of boys did very well and we are excited about how much they are learning as they become more effective communicators for Christ.

Z--His topic was on the dangers of using movies as a main topic in preaching. It was a relevant message on getting back to expository preaching. How encouraging to hear such a strong message from a 14 yo!!

J--Placed 2nd in Open Interp for his version of The 3 Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig.

JJ--Placed 3rd in Jr. Oratory for his speech on Funding for NASA.
