Kaitlyn's Baptism

Well, my oldest little girl was baptized today. It was a big day for her and she was a little nervous but she did well. The pastor really made her feel comfortable and was really excited about it. We are so excited about this and know that God will help us as parents to grow her in Christ. She accepted Christ about a year or so but had decided to make a public statement about her faith. Here is the video. As you listen you will hear the pastor talk about the death and resurrection of baptism. Baptism does not enter you into the Kingdom of Heaven but only by God's grace.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:8-10

Music Camp Who Is Like the LORD-NOBODY

Emily's 2nd Dance

For the girls dance recital, the video was taken during the dress rehearsal. We are not allowed to bring cameras in on the night of. I was only able to get one of Kaityn's dance's b/c I was still watching Emily and waiting for them to call her group. There was enough time between each of their dances but they were running behind. I was upset about this but this was nothing I could do about it.

Dance Recital and everything else thrown

As you can tell it has been a long time since visiting my blog. It has been so busy and the summer is half over. Here is a few things that have been going on since we the winter. We have had dance recital in May, Music Camp at church and VBS is coming next week. July 13-17. We did go to Chick Fil A today and dressed like a cow. It was a little embaressing but you only have such a short time with your kids and for them to act and be like kids. So I took advantage of this and we all had free meals today! I have posted some pictures of the girls some of the activities that have gone on

Our First Snow of the Year!!

Emily about done playing. Those big blue eyes!

Joel playing with Kaitlyn.

Kids making snow angels.

Joel trying to throw a snowball at me while I am standing on the porch taking pics.

Looks like someone got Joel with a snowball.

Attempting to make a snowman. That is about as far as they got.

Emily says she is done for the morning. She is ready for some breakfast and hot chocolate!!

It snowed, really snowed on Mar 1. It was so pretty when it was falling. Unfortunately, I did not take any pics while it was doing so. These are pictures from the morning and then when Joel got home he played in the snow. They tried to make a snowman but it just didn't go well. I think Joel was more interested in throwing snowballs. The kids had a great time with him.
