Big Boys Now!

Now that my dad is back at his own home, the little ones can have their room back.. This time it is CRIBLESS! Ryan spent days glueing this bunk bed set together, then he and Michael set it up. It took them hours, but they wanted to make sure that it was solid! Here is a picture of the boys enjoying the new beds. Josiah has the bottom and Joshua gets the top. They sleep all night on their own beds, in their own room. How nice this is.

Psalm 4:8 "And I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in saftey."

All Better!

This is my dad's original wound. It is all healed and better. He has had a couple on the top of his foot that he has dealt with, but all in all he is doing great! In fact he is doing so well, that he moved back home just last Thursday. My mom is very happy that he is back at home with her! He also was able to get an electric wheelchair that can go about 6MPH and run for 9+ hrs.. Now 6mph may not sound very fast, but when my dad was going down the side walk, I was worried. He was scaring me. :) He loves it though. It gives him freedom that he has not had in a long time. I am going to miss seeing him everyday. Bye dad! Love ya!


Acts 21:6 "And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again."

Vactions Bible School

This picture was taken the last day of VBS. The kids had a blast. Mr. Jeff and Mrs. Heather come pretty much every summer and do VBS with our church. The theme this year was "Jungle Tales". You know I realized something this week! I have always been a creationist. But I never realized just how important it is to make sure that our young people know that it was GOD who made all things including them. Evolution is being taught all around us. Millions of years is what the kids hear all the time. That is a lie straight from the Devil himself! The world is actually only 6 thousand years young! We wonder why our kids act like animals. Maybe it is because they are being taught that's what they are or were.. For more info you can go to www.creationfamilyministries.org

John 1:3 "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."

FINALLY~ walking!

Josiah started walking on July 19Th. Me and Ryan were both there to see it. We were sitting in our room and was talking about the day and how it went.. We thought that Josiah was just going to do his usual walk from the bed to the chair (one step) type thing. Nope! He just walked across the room. Me and Ryan just looked at each other with our mouths hanging open! WOW! It took him a very long time to even act like he was going to and then *BAM* He did it! Here is a clip of his walking later that week.

Acts 3:9 "And all the people saw him walking and praising God:"

Family Camp Out

**I am going to be posting often for the next while so that I can get caught up to the present (if that is really possible)**

Our church had it's annual family camp out toward the end of July. We stayed at my family's land up in Mantua. This place is called the Jungle! (I have so many memories of family reunions there when I was just a wee one.) Josiah crawled EVERYWHERE. He was so dirty. Anyhow Michael, my Pastor's son found that if you gave Josiah a stick he was content to play for hours. Here he is holding the "STICK". Thanks Michael :) !!

The food was great! The fellowship that we had was a real treat. The preaching really hit home. We had a great time together up there at the Jungle!

1 Corinthians 1:9 "God is faithful, by whom ye are called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord."

4Th of July!

We had a very nice night on the 4Th. I know I am now just telling you about it and it's August, but I have been very busy! Joshua loved the sparklers. He is so fun to watch. We took time to think about how great our country is! We are free because of men and women giving their lives for us. I just want to say Thank you to all who have gave their lives for this freedom! Dalton Brasel is in the Marine Boot Camp right now getting ready to protect our freedoms as well. I want to tell him that we are praying for him. OORAH! God Bless America.

John 8:32 "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
