~JOY to the WORLD~

(Josiah.....was really focusing on opening this present!! Love it!! *had to share*)

My Christmas day was a quiet one...For the first time...it was just us:me, ry and the kids...My parents were not able to make it. It has been a family tradition to wake the kids...read the Christmas story found in Luke...then wait for my parents to show up...then share our Christmas with them...but his year...as you may know...my dad is not doing well. He only leaves the house to go to dialysis...and that is about it...It is hard to think about this being his last Christmas with us...I was blessed...however....about 5 that night...to get a phone call that said my dad and mom were on their way!! Yay!!! So we had a nice dinner together and showed grandpa all the fun stuff we got for Christmas.. :) I hope you all had a blessed Christmas with the ones that mean the most to you!!

Luke 2:10 "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people."

Merry Christmas!!!

The kids did a very good job at our churches performance! It was called "Christmas Delights". Jurney and Sherri are at the piano getting ready to play a special. Jaden, Joshua and the Montoya boys are saying a Christmas poem.

Happy Birthday to....

Jurney!!! I love this girl!! She is 16!! Yes, I am having a hard time accepting this! haha!!

She is a help to me and to anyone who needs it. She babysits. She is one of the piano players for our church. She is driving (still learners permit, but I am in NO hurry to move that along!). She is now allowed to wear mascara. She is a real blessing to me! Love you Jurney, and I hope that you had a very Happy Birthday!

I am hoping that this will not be the last Thanksgiving with my dad! He is back in the hospital...day 6....already!

I am thankful for the time with my dad....for everyone being able to be together for a nice family meal....for the chance to take a last family photo!

I love you, dad!

Psalm 100

"Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before His presence with singing. Know ye that LORD He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with THANKSGIVING, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations."

~A Thankful Heart~

I love this time of the year....the air becomes crisp. The leaves change and fall... Thanksgiving is just right around the corner...I am so thankful for my kids! I am thankful for my husband! God is so good to me!

2 Corinthians 2:14 "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triump in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge in every place."

Happy Birthday to.....

Joshua!!! He is 4 years old... Where did the time go?? I would have to say in the last 6 months...He has really grown up..

He loves to answer the phone (Joshua Hansen speaking, he thinks that is his real name...it is so cute...)

Other things he loves to do are: cooking, praying, bossing Josiah around, playing with the kids at school, singing songs from church (he does this at the grocery store even), giving loves to his grandpa and grandma, learning, helping his dad with just about anything, and wrestling with his big brother Jaden.

His eye is doing well, in fact we will be going for our 6 month out appointment with the surgeon sometime this month!

Happy Birthday to my little guy Joshua!
