THEN THERE ARE THESE MOMENTS...

THAT I MUST CAPTURE ON VIDEO!!
Caleb will probably like this the most :)

MASCARA MADNESS

Do you ever have one of those days where the kids seem to get into EVERYTHING? The day started with the twins on the counters, falling down the stairs, climbing on the other counters while I was reading to the other 2 before naptime, stealing cupcakes.....then, SUDDEN QUIET...I knocked on the locked bathroom door several times before they opened...WITH MASCARA all over their faces!!!
I am aiming at consistent discipline and training today....I've tried, but get sooo tired!!
God's used many friends to challenge me in love to be consistent!
I know I'm consistent at one thing: Chasing these 2-2 year olds all over the house :)

my suprise 30th b-day partaaay

OOPS! I put these in the wrong order :)
My mom and Brent suprised me with a party with some of my closest friends.
Brent took me to a wonderful dinner at Four Seasons Resort. We came home to a house, full of "suprisers"! Everyone only stayed for a n hr, but we had a WONDERFUL time.
I praise God for His love and His gifts of friendships!

Creation Video

http://www.kids4truth.com/CV/voice.html
This is an excellent video for kids to watch and learn of their Creator God! Andrew loved it this morning and I was challenged to praise God for His power in creation.
I also go to kids4truth.com for the kid's daily devotional readings as well as games and info for kids.

Hope you're all having a great day.

The Norway Fair (just the right size for the kids!)

Eden and Chloe play sooo nice together. Today, I heard them say, "Now, you're the baby!" They take turns role-playing 'mom and baby'. soo cute.

When we got to the Fair in Norway, we were glad we had just enough $$ to get in, plus $9. Then, Brent took off for the ATM machine. It was out of order. We were stuck at the fair with 4 kids, hot-sunny-tired Sunday afternoon. So, we looked for all the free stuff to do :)

FREE face-paining. Brent was happy about that. It took some time too!

Eden

Andrew always wants some design that's not an ordinary request! Last time, he wanted Spider-man. This time, he wanted a rocket!

Then, they heard a FREE Gospel message! More time for Brent and I to relax :) When the woman asked what the BLACK stood for in the wordless book. Andrew yells, 'That's for our SINFUL HEART, that separates God from man!" Yikes! What a young theologian.

This is the Christian lady who witnessed to our kids :)


Our FREE cow-petting...WOW! THHHHRRRILLINGGGGG.


One extra picture here of my brother Joel eating breakfast with the kids. He moved in with us for the year. He's a sophomore at NBBC....Just another kid in the house :) He's really been a blessing to have around.
