A School Field Trip

We took a little field trip with some of our kids from k12 to

"The Cheese Shoppe"

in Stephenville and then to the Dr. Pepper plant.

The boys played football while we waited for our turn to tour

the Dr. Pepper plant.

These are some of the girls who went on that day.

None of my kids liked the smell of the aging cheese, but we all loved the taste!

Isn't that funny?

Many, o Lord my God, are Your wonderful works which You have done;

And Your thoughts toward us cannot be recounted to You in order.....

Ps. 40:5

Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.

Gen. 1:31

I just can't help but think of how much my Lord loves me. If only I wouldn't forget that so often. I have found that He is there to remind me every day, all along the way that He is my Father. I owe Him my life. I was bought with His blood. What better way to show Him my love than to obey Him. Trust Him. Believe Him.

Then the things of earth become dim. I can do all my work through my Lord who gives me the strength every moment.

I am His.

Some of the promised pictures =)

So Precious!!!

Cute little pair!

Jer Bear as he is mostly called by me, lost both his front teeth almost at the same time.

Talk about a lisp!!! I don't remember either of the big boys having one. =)

It's actually cute.

Ready for bed!

He is usually such a happy baby! We are so happy to have him! =)

Robber's Cave Camp

Here we are again. Another year is flying by and Robber's Cave Camp is coming up this weekend! All of us are so excited to be going. It seems that for one reason or another we haven't been since Elyse was a baby. We are so looking forward to it!

School seems to be going very smooth so far. It throws me for a loop when the boys ask for help now a days because they hardly ever do, so it does get easier (at least for me). =) Any ways, Jeremy and Elyse are also doing very well. And all my kiddos are a great help with little Matthew. Matthew is almost 10 mo. Why does time have to go so fast?

Hope to see some of you soon!

Cutie....

WE are soooo in love with him....

On a VERY HOT day in TEXAS!

Hello to you all.

I definitely have neglected my posts. Things that I enjoy doing have been put on hold lately with school starting and a baby crawling. I am extremely but happily busy. I haven't forgotten any of you and I will have pictures coming up soon. ....wait, I think I said that last time.. =)

More pictures coming up soon!...

A day at the Playa with Grampa Pedro and Gramma Ceci

What a beautiful sight!!!

I always get hit with the reality of how powerful is the Lord and all His creation. And how insignificant we are and yet He made us for His pleasure!!! I do stand in awe of all the wonderful things He has done for us.

My Hubby!!!

My girl!

The kids having a good time in the waves!

This was the first time that Elyse remembers seeing the ocean.

She was having a blast!!!

Matthew thought the sand was food! =) I promise that I do feed him!

and Michael.

I am still here! ;)

Hello everyone,

Yes I am still here! We have been sick, busy, or traveling. Or all three at the same time! ;) I noticed I haven't put any pictures since the middle of June. So I will try to do this while Matthew is sleeping and Elyse is eating lunch and all my big boys are at their friends' swimming. It's a very hot 102 dregree Saturday here in Texas. Incredibly warm. No rain for weeks! (I am starting to relate to Hank the Cow Dog nowadays!!!) =)

Just got back from a 10 day trip to California. And before that we had been to Oklahoma for the weekend and before that we had been sick with high fevers and headaches. Oh yeah, and before that we had gone on a little trip to Tyler with our kiddos. Now we have about 16 days or so and school starts!! Yikes! This year I also will have a crawling baby, that ought to be interesting. =)

Anyways keep us in your prayers, that I be patient and be the wife and mother that the Lord wants me to be.
