Memorial Day

Praising God for all the men and women who have and are faithfully serving our country.

Home Improvement Stores

I have no idea why this is but my kids become different kids in home improvement stores. They behave horribly! I think it's heredity Teddy and I were the same way. I can remember my parents made us leave Lowe's once! Any who because I travel with a camera in my purse I thought I would grab a picture of my dear babies acting a doof!

Happy 6th Birthday Pretty

Lilly Grace is 6 years old! She is an amazing young lady, getting ready to go into first grade and she is  a faithful servant of the Lord serving in children's ministry. Lilly is truly wise beyond her small stature and years. Gary and I adore her and we are so very thankful for her heart. We pray that Lilly's heart grows more and more faithful to our Gracious God! Bless you baby girl!

For her birthday we had a family party, that's all she wanted. We asked her if she wanted to invite her friends over and she yes just Owen! Because of the responsibility Lilly has shown in school, in church and all the dental work she took like a champ we let her get her ears pierced. She looks so cute and she loves the sparkle on her ears! The only one who cried was me, she is amazing and did not even flinch.

1) I love love love to sing to Jesus, and I miss singing in 2nd service so much I cry all the time over it!
2) I love to eat cottage cheese and green olives! TOGETHER! Totally something that I craved when I was pregnant with Lilly, and now I love it!
3) I like to be in charge, and I like things my way! :)
4) I personally think that there is only one color and that is pink!
5) I won't drink the end of anything, and I can't drink out of cans!
6) I could soak in the bathtub and read for hours!
7) I like decorating in odd numbers. For example three pictures so one can be in the middle.

Amazing Day!

Lilly, Owen and I worked so hard today in the yard! We raked and planted away! Once it's green our yard will look so pretty. We even took some time to lay in the grass and make pictures of the clouds! My babies were so tired that they crashed at about 7:45!! We had put a movie on for the kids after dinner and the next thing we knew they were out! I love summer!!! Praise God this was a great memory day! Oh and Gary was super impressed that I got all the pine needles up while he was at work! Toot Toot!! That's my horn! 

First Day of Summer Break

Well today was the first day of Summer Break and I loved it! I got up at 6:30 and cleaned my house took a shower all before 8:00. The kiddos slowly got out of bed I think it was the french toast, we ate and ran to the grocery store to stock up on special summer snacks! I had my first Children's Ministry meeting and Miss Jenny came to play with the kids. After I got home we went to the party store to get Lilly's birthday plates and now we are watching a movie. I can't wait until the weather finally decides to be summer too! Then it' s outside for the rest of the season!

Nothing like licking the bowl!

Love my Husband and Kids

Ever just look around your home and just love what you feel. I love my family more than words. I have the most amazing husband who loves me and our babies. Gary works so hard at work, home and church. He is an amazing man of God and I could not ever have asked for anyone more perfect to share my life with. Our Lilly and Owen are nothing short of an amazing gift from God. Seeing our babies grow into people who love Jesus and us is something so indescribable. I am so blessed beyond words!

This Is How Pook Grills!

Snow, sleet, rain, tornado WARNING! That's right this is Gary grilling during the tornado! Of course we did not know it was a tornado until we turned on T.V.. You would have thought the black sky, thunder hail and lighting would have been warning for us, but no we wanted our chicken grilled!!

We Have a First Grader!

Well our beautiful little Lilly is officially a first grader. I can't even begin to tell everyone how proud Gary and I are of our sweet Lilly. She is an amazing young lady! Here are some pictures of her graduation! Ummm just FYI Gary took almost all the pictures :) hence the side of my head!

Update on Us!

So much has been going on in our little family. Between Church and school we are very busy and we are loving every minute!
We have been on several field trips in the last couple of weeks. Lilly and I went to the Colorado Springs Philharmonic and it was really pretty cool. They based the whole performance around Beethoven's 5th Symphony and explained the different families of interments. The next field trip we all joined Lilly and went to the Wild Life Experience in Denver. This was pretty amazing, it reminded me of something we would have found at Disney World!
Church is amazing and Gary and I could not be happier that we have found this church for our family. I am officially on staff!!! YAY! I am the new Director of Preschool Ministry. I am still serving in the Worship and Media office and I am still singing on the worship team. I am just now primarily singing in 1st service rather than my beloved and intense 2nd service.  I am confident that I will be able to make it back to my beloved Modern service, I just think for now my attention in children's ministry is where I am being called! Can I just say we are beyond blessed! God has changed and has been working on our lives and the changes in our family is evident!
I am sorry for no pictures I have been super lazy with the camera, I will try my hardest to get back to picture taking! Hope and pray that everyone is enjoying Spring!
