Catching up...

So I have been terrible about keeping our blog up to date, and I am sorry! I will try to do better. Here are some pictures to catch you up on what we have been doing!


FJ's first day of Kindergarten - Springfield Christian School


Judah's first day of Preschool - Berean Baptist Preschool



FJ GOT SAVED on AUGUST 22!! Then took the Christian Live Class at church and got baptized!! Praise the Lord!


My very favorite outing with the boys this fall - The Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular


My brother in law left for Afghanistan





And to top it all off...a very Merry Christmas!

Summer Fun

Once a week, all summer, I have taken the boys on a field trip. We have had so much fun going places around our historic town! I had forgotten how much fun it was to see all the Lincoln sites through a child's eyes! Funny how we take things for granted...I remember saying things like, "Why would anyone come to Springfield, IL for vacation?" Now I remember why people would...there is so much to see and it is really interesting! I have truly enjoyed our "field trips" and wonder where we will go next time!

Boys and their Toys

My parents and the boys went garage sale-ing last weekend and this is what they came home with...a four wheeler...and they only paid $5 for it!! It didn't work, but with a new battery and a little of Papa's elbow grease, the boys have a new toy that they absolutely love!!!

New Hobby

I have a new hobby...decorating cakes. I have even sold two so far!! It is super time consuming, but I love the feeling when I see the finished product! I can't even believe that I can do it!! So much fun!! I can't wait to try my next idea out!
