Getting the perfect seat for the show!

The sun DOES shine at night!

A good time was had by all but especially for Makai! Happy Birthday America!

God Shed His Grace on Us!

But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich

in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were

dead in transgressions-it is by GRACE you have been saved!

Ephesians 2:4-5

AMAZING GRACE!!!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Carter

In all his 8 years this is his first time away from us. He was really looking forward to his free time with his friend at camp...with no parents! We miss shopping with him!

Tori

In all of her 10 years this is the first time she is separated from us!

Tori & Carter Away from Us for the 1st Time!

Yesterday these two were taken by their mother to the same camp that their brother was at last week! We are missing them this week! But...they will only be gone until Thursday and they are with alot of their friends from church!

They had to pass a little swimming test so they can swim while they are at camp! They all passed!

Star Quilt #9 Do Over

I think this one turned out MUCH better. I can't get over what a difference it makes with this combination of material!
