One year anniversary of Dad's homecoming!

My dad went to be with Jesus one year ago today. It is hard to believe it has been a year but on the other hand it seems like he has been gone much longer. I am trying not to be sad but to rejoice that my dad is in Heaven rejoicing his Savoir for eternity! For a sweet tribute of my father you can read Chrissie's post on her blog.
Thank you all for your prayers for our family. You all are such an ecouragement to me!

Happy 11th Birthday Nicholas!


We celebrated Nicholas' 11th birthday last night even though his birthday is today. We went to Hideaway Pizza here in Crestview and the sweet girls who work there even sang to Nick and gave him a free dessert! Nick was pretty happy about that - 2 desserts on his birthday! Lynette and Chrissie and Cassie joined us. We came back home for Strawberry Shortcake and ice cream. Nick enjoyed playing his new Wii Lego Star Wars game last night too.
Happy Birthday Nicholas! We love you so very much! You have always been such a joy, since the day you were born you have been making us laugh. You have such a sweet personality and your desire to please God by obeying your parents is an evidence of God's grace in your life. We are so very proud of you sweetie! Have a wonderful birthday!

A family visit!

My brother surprised the girls by showing up to church Sunday morning! They were shocked!
Here is me and mom and Chrissie at the Super Bowl Pary . . . a first for my mom!


My brother called on Thursday and said he was coming down to surprise his girls with a visit. He called and asked mom if she would like to come with him and Leanne too and of course she was happy to come! We are thrilled she is here with us! The girls (Chrissie and Cassie) are having a great time with their dad too. They got here late Saturday night and will leave Monday morning the11th to head back home. We are enjoying our time with them. What a nice surprise!

A mother-daughter day!


John surprised Kristen and I by scheduling an appointment with Miss Tiffany to have our hair done! He arranged all of this on his own and even paid her ahead of time. He told us to be there today at 1 p.m. and just enjoy it! We had so much fun! Kristen has only been a couple of times in her life . . . this was her first to Miss Tiffany! When I went in I was going to buy this product I use to make my hair shiny and Tiffany said John was already in and asked for that! That shocked me! He didn't know what it was called but said, "it's a shiny silver tube". Tiffany knew what he was talking about, but they were out of stock but John went ahead and paid for one and Tiff said she will just bring me one when they get more in. This was a very thoughtful and a much needed treat! Thank you John! Kristen I had a great time!

Kristen's new haircut!

so pretty!


Miss Tiffany gave her layers and thinned it all out then used a flat iron and made it straight!
We have never seen Kristen with straight hair! It makes her look so grown up!
