What a joyous Mother's Day!
My day began at church with the kids up on stage singing to all the moms. It was rather emotional but not only because my oldest babies were proudly singing to me. As I glanced around a largely crowded church of people I didn't hardly know I was overcome with joy. How wonderful it is to be surrounded by God's children! How awesome it is to have brothers and sisters no matter where you visit or move.

I give thanks to the Lord for all He gives to me. On Mother's Day of course, it was my children and husband that were at the forefront of my thoughts.

AWANA Awards!!!

May 2nd was awards night for AWANA. For those of you not familiar, AWANA is a church program that Sydni and Davis attend every Wednesday night. They memorize Bible verses, play games, and just have fun. They have specific age groups and books for that age with a certain number of verses and they have a vest which they earn patches for by memorizing Bible verses.

Well, Sydni finished her second book and has a vest full of patches and she'll be moving on to the next age group after the summer break. Davis finished his first year and first book, earning his first award from AWANA. They got to go up in front of the church and receive they're awards. (Those pics didn't turn out very well, but this one was taken afterwards)

It's been pretty amazing to watch them both learn so much and having the desire to learn is pretty great too! Praise the Lord!

We were messing around with the site and deleted our profile picture and can't get another one posted because the size is too big.....SO....here is a family picture and some of the kids. This beautiful area is only 20 minutes from home. We are so blessed to able to live in an area where we can stop and breath in the fresh air and look upon the amazing things God has created.
