Creative hair and Em's lost another tooth...

I got a creative hair and created these....thinking about selling em' what do ya think?







and I pulled out another of Em's teeth. She was so happy to have it out.

All dolled up...

Walked into Emma's room to find this....I thought it was to cute.

Who Said???? (heavy on the photos)

Who said that they could grow up?
Who said that it was going to happen so fast?
Why can't they stay little forever?

I miss my babies!


I have been looking at some old photos and I'm getting sad :( Our babies are growing up so fast. :( :( :( :( :(

Stuff

Nothing to exciting to report about but I guess no news is good news :)

Rob has been busy with his business and his back is feeling MUCH MUCH better thanks to the bone crusher! :) Me with my schooling, and the kids, well they have just been busy with it all.

Ryan is in this stage (I hope that he's just getting it out of his system now) were he will stall, lie, and do whatever he wants no matter how many times Rob and I get onto him. Nothing seems to get through to this strong little spirit!!!

Emma has been getting phone calls from little girlfriends from school. It's all starting now....yikes! :) When those girls call Ryan gets all weird about it too, there is one (Laura) that he likes, it's pretty cute.

I have started working out at least 3 days a week at 30 min each. I walk the kids to school then enjoy a brisk walk around the block. So far I have dropped 11.8 lbs, WAHOOOOOOOO only a ton more to go :)

Hope all is well with everyone! Have a super day!

The old saying goes "The middle of sIn is a big I!" When "I" become more important than others and what "I" want and that "I" win is more significant than what someone else truly needs, then "I" have lost my way and do not display the love of Christ.

Here are some photos, most of them are from our trip to Pacifica, CA

Daddy and kiddos after eating Taco Bell on the beach...talk about cheap beach dinning :)

Jan 25th 2010

Our actions follow our thoughts like a heat seeking missile follows the exhaust of a jet fighter's engine. So in a day when so much around us trains us to find the negative in life, we must aggressively think and pursue the character, the qualities, and the things of God's goodness.

Storm; My God is bigger!

As some of you know, I lost my job this past week. Our storm is huge right now but I heard a quote today at church...

"Quit telling God how big your storm is, Start telling your storm how big your God is."

I LOVE that!!

I have started getting a verse out of the bible a day...www.verseoftheday.com It started with

James 1:2-3
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

This hit me because I am supposed to consider it pure joy that I lost my job. This is a test of my faith and I know that I will develop perseverance.

The second day was

Galatians 6:8
The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

I have been sowing to please my sinful nature and from that there has come destruction. God is telling me that I need to sow for him, seek him, and ask him.

Third day was

Matthew 7:7
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.



I know that God will put me where he sees that I fit. I had an interview last monday and received a letter telling me that I didn't get the job. But I have faith that I will find something that I will fit with.

Things happen for a reason and I believe that. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me.

Rob's best friend Randy and his wife and daughter were able to come to the states from Korea for the holidays and they were able to make it up to Carson City to visit us 2 weeks ago and we were able to meet their beautiful daughter for the 1st time. We had a great 3 day visit, I'll have to post photos tomorrow because it's not letting me right now :(

We were also blessed to be able to go on a vacation to Pacifica, CA. I got lost of beautiful photos of that as well but you'll have to wait to see them :)

I want to thank everyone that has been and still is praying for us. We love you all!
