Who has the best kids ever?

I DO!

I have to admit I have been a little stressed out this past week with starting school and all.

Well tonight after dinner my kids all pitched in and got the house clean for me!

How great are they? Pretty great if you ask me.

Here is Cody doing all the dinner dishes he knew not to put in the dishwasher

And Kaylee dusting all the tables after she unloaded the dishwasher

And Katelynn cleaning and organizing the vanity in their bathroom

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY KAYLEE!

From this.....

To this

ANOTHER YEAR

I'm wishing you another year

Of laughter, joy and fun
Surprise, love and happiness

And when your birthday's done

I hope you feel deep in your heart

As your birthdays come and go

How very much you mean to us

More than you can know.

My cute girls!

OH MY GOSH! How cute are they?

We were on our way home from Katelynn's St. Patties Day program,

I had to stop and get gas. I get back in the car and turn around to find Kaylee

wearing Joel's hard hat and safety glasses. I was so glad I had my camera!

Splurge!

Joel and I have been wanting to buy us a bedroom set for some time now and we finally did! I always felt like our bedroom was a good size.....until we got every thing all set up and in place. But I have to say that I absolutley LOVE it!

A simple Little Prayer

James 5: 15-16

"Dear Lord,
You know my friend so much better than I do. You know her sickness and the burden she carries. You also know her heart. Lord, I ask you to be with my friend now, working in her life. Let your will be done in my friend's life. If there is a sin that needs to be confessed and forgiven, Lord, please help her to see her need and confess. Lord, I pray for my friend because your Word says I should pray for her healing. I believe you hear this earnest prayer from my heart and that it is powerful because of your promise. I have faith in you to heal my friend, but I also trust in the plan you have for her life. Lord, I don't always understand your ways, and why my friend has to suffer, but I trust you. I ask that you look with mercy and grace toward my friend. Nourish her spirit and soul in this time of suffering and comfort her with your presence. Let my friend know you are there with her through this difficulty. And may you be glorified in her life and also in mine.
Amen"

New Mexico Deer Hunt 09

For those of you planning on taking a hunting trip to New Mexico...DON'T! Joel swears that they killed the biggest and only 3 bucks that lived in New Mexico.

Joel's Buck

He killed a nice size 3 point

Riley and his 24 " 4 point

Jason and his 16 & 7/8" 3 point

Riley's, Joel's and Jason's

I wanted a picture of all of them holding the head of the one they killed, but Jason would not have it! However they are all standing behind the one they killed!
