Her First Christmas

 We had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. It was so fun to see Chloe's reaction to everything. When we first brought the tree in the house she became upset. Yelling,  "No no no!" I assured her it would be ok and once we started decorating it she joined right in. Our baby Jesus got a lot of lovin' this year from Chloe, she couldn't resist holding the baby doll we use every year. Jaden read Luke 2:1-20 to our family and guests on Christmas Day sharing the birth of Jesus our Savior. After, she recited John 3:16, 17 from memory.  

Don't you just love the way Chloe is holding her pants up.
Poor girl those 3t's are a little big especially when she is
stretching.

Chloe's first experience making Christmas cookies!
Jaden showing her the ropes. 

She got the hang of it very quickly.

Serious business!

She had a wonderful time!

Taste testing...... Yummy!!!

We studied about Pocahontas this year and Jaden really liked this doll.

A prayer warrior in the making.
Yup, that is the guitar she wanted in the
background. She started lessons a few
months ago.

Her very own baby! (she always wants to play with J's)

Prayer Request..... Praise!

Thank you for all your prayers! May all glory and praise go to our awesome God!!!

On December 23 little Taylor had another EEG and the results 

showed a complete reversal of the first report on Dec. 8th. 

There is a tiny fragment in his right-hemisphere that is a little

active but the doctors believe that will be gone soon. They will

continue the steroid injections for 6 to 7 more weeks and he will

be taking an oral medication for a year. The medication side effects 

can cause liver problems, so they must monitor him closely. 

Please continue to keep little Taylor in your prayers. 

"For where two or three come together in my name, there I am 

with them." Matthew 18:20

Prayer Request

My friend's sweet 4 1/2 month old baby boy is in the hospital right now having all kinds of tests because he has been having seizures. They did an MRI yesterday morning to see if there was any brain damage. The results showed no brain damage. Praising and thanking Jesus! 

The doctors have tried different medications to try and stop them but there not working. He had 40 seizures in a row earlier this morning. The Doctors told them this morning that they were running out of options. The one thing left is to try steroids. It can take several days to see if they will even work. Please pray that this will work or for the Lord to do a miracle and heal him completely. 

He is their little miracle baby. They prayed and waited for this precious little treasure for 15 yrs.

Home Six Months and Look What She Can Do!

Our little sweetie is pedaling her bike!

Sorry this video isn't the greatest. I've tried for a few days to 

upload a better video and for some reason blogger doesn't like it. :(

So I give up for now.

This is a great accomplishment for our sweet little 5 1/2 yr. old. 

Thanking and Praising Jesus as He makes her stronger everyday.

Daddy's Little Helpers

These two girls were working very hard helping daddy put together our new storage cabinet for our home school supplies. They had so much fun with their little tools.

So serious!

I was going crazy from all the clutter and Jaden always insisting everything go under their chairs. She was very sweet about organizing all their books, notebooks, folders, pencils and art supplies. They just never seemed to stay that way. So I started searching for a storage cabinet and I finally found exactly what I was looking for. We were limited on space and the medium storage cabinet worked out perfectly   I love it!  Each girl gets two cubby spaces and I even get two. Works out just right and everyone is happy.  

 The rest of our supplies can be stored in one of the hall closets.

Makes things so much easier to find and less stressful. :)

 

Kevin's and Megan's Day

On 9/10/11 a very special event took place and I am very behind on posting about this exciting day.

The day our son and his fiance became one in Christ.

 Skipping over the puddles to our seats.

Kevin the handsome groom.

Sarah was so excited to be a bridesmaid!

Two cuties!
  

Our three sons and Kevin's good friend.

Would you believe there was a snake right next to the bride!?!
I thought she handled it very well considering she is scared of snakes.
Right before everything started we were all entertained  by the
appearance of some unexpected guests........
A few javelina and their little ones made their way through the seats
as if they were the only ones there.
 (The wedding took place is about 5 minutes from our house)

 The clouds made a beautiful background and the low rolling thunder
made it very romantic.

Started raining again as we were taking pics.
Megan's parents and grandma along with us and my mom and dad.

Chloe and my nephew Cory. They had a great time dancing!

I love this picture of Skylee. Just look at that precious smile.

Another precious smile!

We were able to have the wedding outside. Then the rain came
again so the reception couldn't be outside in the beautiful
 courtyard. Go figure we barely get rain and when we finally do
 it was on their wedding day.
 Praising and thanking Him in everything!
 It was still a beautiful wedding and wonderful reception!
We are so blessed to have Megan as a part of our family!
