Kooper singing at church

Kooper's class sang Christmas carols in front of the church on Sunday! He did such a great job and had lots of fun!

Happy 30th birthday Blake!

Marci had a surprise 30th birthday party for Blake on Friday night. Jake, Kooper and Nate were decoys. They took Blake out to a friends land to sight riffles. He was really surprised and we all had lots of fun! We are going to miss living in the same town as Blake, Marci, Jade and Anna - what a gift it has been!

Every good and perfect gift is from above. James 1:17

Thank you God for our kids!

Well, it is never boring around here. I am grateful for the days of bliss when everyone gets along and seems to display the fruit of the spirit. But also thankful for the days of chaos. Thursday morning I was getting ready in the bathroom and Sutton came in to talk to me. When I turned off the hair dryer he said, "I'm going to be four next week, I have Jesus in my heart and I can't wait until I'm five like Kooper was to be baptised"; I was shocked and told him how sweet he was and how happy Jesus was with his heart but we will talk with dad about it later.
Our kids love to play games as a family. Here are Braxton and Sutton playing the Disney addition of Guess Who? It is so funny to hear the questions they ask each other trying to eliminate characters.

Luke 2:13-14 Suddenly a great company of heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.

Camping out with 4 kids!

Daddy is so fun. He surprised us by setting up the tent and making a fire Friday night. We roasted marshmallows and wieners and told stories and sang song and best of all went inside at bed time and slept with heaters! The boys were a bit disappointed and I think they might have made it all night but mommy was not ready yet!

We are thankful for all the memories God has given us with our kids - they are so much fun!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We are enjoying all of the Christmas music, decorations and stories. Tonight we went caroling in our neighborhood and took our neighbors cookies and invited them to the Caroler's the Christmas production at Antioch.

Thanksgiving!

We have so much to be thankful for. We went to Norman for thanksgiving and were able to spend lots of time with family. Our kids are anticipating living in only one town though they will miss lots of things about Waco - our awesome friends! The day after Thanksgiving it has been a tradition to go to Chandler where Todd, Jeannie and their girls live at the boy's ranch and climb rock walls, run around, talk and most importantly play with cousins.


Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love endures forever! 1 Chron. 16:34
