My Joy

I love these people more than words. 

Snow Globe

Mini Vacation

Gary and I have had the best week with the kids. We had a mini vacation in Frisco and Breckenridge. We explored and shopped had had crapes at the crape place in Breck. There is a small museum in Breckenridge that was really great. Gary has always loved geology and mining and enjoyes taking the kids on adventures to learn more about what’s in the earth. My favorite moment was at the end of the night sitting together outside by the fire drinking coffee and hot chocolate. 

















 

Homemade

You GUYS!! I made homemade pumpkin cinnamon rolls! I probably could not duplicate them if I tried! 

The Feels

Our house at Christmas, purely lovely! 

Sunday

Well after getting some medicine for my ear infections I couldn’t let the beauty of this day just pass away. So I mustered up some energy and went to the park. Owen and Lilly wrestling, dorks! Thanksgiving staycation in full swing! 

Real Life

Lilly took these pictures. It’s real life, and we are kind of rednecks! I am pretty sick, I have double ear infections and a fever. My throat hurts and I can’t believe I don’t have strep. Gary, did something to his hip and is having a horrible time walking and is in pain. This is the perfect way to start our vacation, lol!

Looking a little like Walmart people. That’s okay, we never left our house! 

SaturYAY

Puppy Mac

Painting

Well... He was almost done when he decided to be Snoopy. 

Church Happenings

Lilly and Owen teaching kids to pray for the persecuted, one of my favorite photos, my sweet little worship leader Brielle, youth group and the boyzzzz taking over my office! 

Fall Fest

Another successful Fall Fest! I have never work with more loyal and hardworking people! My mom got a picture of the kids, and then my bestie Melissa and I were a cuter version of Batman and Robyn. I was not allowed to be Batman because my Worship Pastor told me I was short. 

Something Bad....

My morning started with laundry and chapstick in the dryer, cleaning my house, dog walking, getting kiddos ready for school and going to work for a couple of hours. I then left work to go to Lilly’s school for Owen’s award ceremony and choir concert...... As nice as it was for me to go to Lilly’s school, it was not Owen’s school...I also had another little mishap this week. I thought Lilly’s band concert was Tuesday, it was Thursday at the same exact time as my worship rehearsal... I’m not winning mom of the year... However, I did make it to every place I was supposed to be, frizzy hair and all. Everyone has been fed and still alive, and we all have clean clothes with pink chapstick on them! 

I ate one taco from Taco Bell today after my week. I had a long week. Really, it was long. I don’t eat that ever..ever.. 

My stomach is killing me! 

My Man and My Dog

Music Happenings

Praise God I have musical kids! 

BB Practice

I can’t wait until basketball season this year, Owen is on fire! He has a hard time with layups and workes on them for hours. 

After Church Picnic

I woke up this morning and was not scheduled anywhere, no leading worship, no emceeing, no assisting. I was torn between rejoicing and crying. I love serving in ministry it's my calling, love and joy. I will never ever begin to explain how near God is when I sing to Him. I love and hunger for His presence. However, it was beautiful to take one car to church with my sweet little family. We walked in together, sat together and worshiped as a family. My heart was overwhelmed with love for my people. After church we went on a picnic and walked through Garden of the Gods. We are taking advantage of this beautiful fall weather. 

Pumpkin Carving

We had a great fall night. We carved pumpkins. Gary just can't help himself, the power tools came out. We watched Star Wars Episode 1, my family is trying very hard to get me up to speed before the new one comes out in December. Loving our BER month traditions! 

More BER Month Traditions

We visited the Happy Apple Farm and then we went to Salida for a walk next to the river. It was a beautiful day. I love my people so much.
