Giving thanks


Well, Thanksgiving is over, but I am still thanking God for all my blessings and would like to share them with you. I'm thankful for my salvation, and for my Saviour who has always been with me. I'm thankful for my husband who is also my best friend. I'm thankful the Lord blessed us with two precious children, and good friends and family to help us raise them. I'm thankful for my parents and brother and new sister-in-law. I'm thankful for my church and our pastor. Finally, I'm thankful for our home and the community that we live in. It brings so much peace and joy into my heart to know I'm raising my kids among God's people. May you all have a wonderful holiday season this year!

Prissy Tomboy


All of you that know Sarah knows she loves pink, pink, and more pink! Any thing that sparkles she adores, and the fancier something is the better. Did you also know Sarah loves lizzards, snakes, and anything creepy crawly?! I cannot believe I gave birth to a girl child that loves all things gross and slimey/scaley, but there it is that's our little prissy tomboy!

Sid the Sloth


Here is a picture of J.T. impersonating Sid the sloth from the movie, Ice Age. He is the biggest ham, and loves to quote lines from his favorite movies: Ice Age, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, etc.

Partners in Crime




I am sooo thankful that the Lord blessed us with two healthy children. I am also thankful that our kids are close and, generally speaking, play well together. But...what one doesn't think of the other one does! Let's just say they keep Chris and I on our toes. It's hard to remember what life was like before kids, you know?

Wild Man




J.T. is a typical little boy. Sweet as pie when he wants something, and as ornery as they come when things aren't to his liking. All in all, though, he is my little sugar lump. How can you resist a man with those big blue eyes?

Our tiny dancer




Sarah loves ballet! She has been practicing since she was three, and still dancing. Here are some of my favorite pictures of her posing, dancing, etc. Hope you enjoy!

Halloween 2008


Well, Halloween was a little "tricky" this year. Sarah has been feeling a little under the weather, but she hung in there for trick-or-treating. J.T. really got into the spirit of things this year! He loved saying, "trick-or-treat or smell my feet!" Little boys...ya gotta love 'em. Even though we only stopped at Granny's, Aunt Martha's, and Mom's they got loads of treats. And, I'm happy to report Sarah seems to be on the mend. I say that with fingers crossed...
