Body blessings

We have let so loved from the moment we got to know these students and Anna is just thrilled with them too. 

 Pizza night and IOG debrief discussions

 Our normal wednesdays converted to Packing Operation Christmas Child boxes.

 Anna had so much fun. 

 And my boys learned a lot too.

 Praying for the kids that will receive these.

Waiting for thanksgiving

This girl will pull this rocking chair from any part of the house and park it in front of the TV so she can watch her Daniel Tiger.  I love that she loves a good rocking chair.

 Just our normal friday stop at Sams' for groceries and soft pretzels.  We sure do miss Simit from Turkey, but cinnamon sugar pretzels will do for now.

 I have a little reader on my hands these days.  She constantly wants me to sit and read to her.  

 watching the Insanity of God as a body.  Rich times.

 And our favorite intern and friend, MacKenzie

 And Anna posing with the kitchen that Babu built her.

 And a good ole tug o'war with Emmie.

 This naughty dog can't seem to keep her head out of the garbage can.

 I have noticed that my girls hair is extremely long these days.  And I love it. more to braid.

 My big boy got to go the HS play.  Beauty and The Beast.

The homestead

We finally made a decision (after making 3 offered on 3 different houses around Canyon and losing them to other buyers) to get in on a house to be built and wait till March.  

We were excited to drive by the lot today and see that they had actually started the foundation.

The boys were more interested in the dirt.

 It doesn't look like much but it will go quickly from now on.

 gonna love the sunset view from the new house.

 This is after the slab was laid and the driveway marked out.

 Its' getting cold and we hope the snow holds off a little while longer.

A Lubbock wedding

Since we are in Texas now we decided to hop on down to Lubbock to celebrate with some of our favorite soon to be newlyweds.  And we saw our sweet friend Rebecca too.

 It was such a God honoring service.  With lots of my favorite music. 

the boys and their punch

My girl loved dressing up.

Such a great surprise to see Emily another soon to be newlywed friend.  

Then we got around to the dancing moves.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard McKay.  Glyn looked gorgeous and had the best cakes and friends......I loved meeting everyone.

Our afternoons in Canyon

love rocking my babies after nap time.

this guy and his personality are growing more and more everyday.

these two are thick as theives these days. 

And Emery is getting so big.

I just love these sunsets and how far you can see around here.  

Noah got creative around here and decided to make himself a rope swing.  

And our girl just front porch sitting with daddy.
