Oh I have looked forward to taking the kids to the beach since the last time three years ago when we were there. I love the beach. I have great memories of going when I was growing up. We lived only about an hour and a half from South Padre Island so it was easy… [continue reading]
Father/Daughter Camp Out
One of the things I really appreciate about the AWANA Truth and Training club at our church is the opportunity to do special things with our kids. My husband is not into camping at all, but when it’s all organized and all he has to do is go, it’s a great time with his little… [continue reading]
This sermon is for you!
My husband and I were sitting in church a couple of years ago. I don’t remember what the sermon was about, but the pastor gave an example of a mother that didn’t show love for her children. With a jerk my husband craned his head my direction. My jaw hit my chest as I stared… [continue reading]
Plant some trees!
My husband is obsessed with planting trees. He just can’t get enough. I wish I could say that we have reaped the benefits of his trees. We would if we didn’t keep moving. I like to imagine all the children playing in the shade of our trees, the squirrels playing peek-a-boo with the puppies, and… [continue reading]
Happy Birthday my Husband
One of these days I’ll realize that I just can’t do everything I used to be able to do…or will I? Jason asked for a taco dinner with all the fixings and a banana cream pie for his birthday. My gift to him, at least in part, is the desired meal made with love. On… [continue reading]
Love the Little Things

Something stuck to the bottom of the shoe
One day this week we took our whole crew out to eat at a cheap place. I stayed with the kids at a table while Jason went to get our food. As he was walking to the counter, I noticed something stuck to the bottom of his shoe. Ha ha it looked like toilet paper,… [continue reading]
What makes me laugh
Bobby has been smiling for a while now, but I finally got a cute picture of him! He tries to laugh too. We are all enjoying him! One thing about a little baby that inevitably causes squeals of laughter from the siblings is the passing of gas. “Ha ha Bobby tooted!” They all seem to… [continue reading]
Things I Love About You
We are counting down to Valentine’s Day again this year! I wanted to begin February with a message for the love of my life. Here are just a few things I love about you: (This list is not exhaustive nor is it in any particular order.) 1. He is working at discipling our family…. [continue reading]
My Husband Makes Me Laugh
Some of the household chores have not been getting done as frequently these days. It is the girls’ jobs to keep the upstairs bathrooms clean. They do the mirrors, tub, floors and wipe off the toilet, sink, and counters, but I haven’t let them use the toilet cleaner so that has remained my job. If… [continue reading]
