Jacob cracks another one!


Chatting with Jacob this a.m. about how we need to be ready to give forgiveness and grace so many more times than twice! (due to his statement: "I asked her nicely twice and then I took it." This is by far not the first time I have heard a statement like this in our home lately!) So starting in with my "so we only have to ask nice twice and then we do what we want?" speech and then adding in some sweet words that I just heard Beth Moore teaching about this subject, that even if we were keeping count, 7 x 70, and even if we had to forgive that many times A DAY, we could because of how abundant God's grace is to us! Puts it in perspective... right? So Jacob doesn't miss a BEAT and says, "So, I should go take that chart in my room down?"

Wow, this one... he is quite a... one!

:)Love ya!

p.s. here is pic I found of Jacob in his individuality, myself and my friend Vicki in the background. The little one holding her hand is a Van Morel girl, whose home we were at for dinner that evening.

Happy 6th Birthday to Phoebe Isabelle-Clare!

Had to throw this one in! :) Isn't she cute?!
Officially six years old here!
Look at my baby...
Sadly one of her 'birthday presents' was a wasp bite :(
She survived though as you can see.

She and Ellie and Nate helped make and frost the cake. It had to be chocolate chocolate, only chocolate. (That's my girl!)

Happy Birthday Pheebs!

Love ya ~ XOXO

What's Up with us lately...

Look at these cute faces!
And these cute faces! HA. Mommies night at Stacy's. Chick flick and yummies. :) fun!
Look at these two! We had Ellie's sweet 1st grade teacher (and my friend) Maria Schock, over for lunch and she took Ellie out for ice cream.
This a.m. we took ours and Jacob's two friends who slept over (and when I say slept, I am using the term loosely, it seems they managed to avoid sleeping most or all of the night!!!), to the local swimming hole and they had more fun with this log than you can imagine! Of course John couldn't resist getting in on the fun! :) I love this pic!
...THEN they found a mudhole! Oye!
