Lily's Birthday!

Today is my sweet little niece Lily's birthday. She's two years old and a big joy in our lives.
She likes animals and loves to play outside.:)
It will be amazing to see how God will work in her life as she grows into a young lady.
Happy Birthday Lil' Bug. Love you. :D

I wanted to post pictures. But our computer is being stupid. :)

Happy Birthday Trenton!!!

Tomorrow is my baby brother's birthday. I can't believe he's 12 already. I remember all the crazy things Anne and I did to him when he was little. Such as dressing him up as a girl and so on. :D

Now, he has chickens and sells the eggs. He has over 200 strawberry plants and wants to sell strawberries next year and he's doing such a good job in all he's doing. God has blessed him with the ability to have a dream, make it come true and get amazing results. It is amazing to watch how he's growing up into such a wonderful young man who loves Jesus with all his heart and seeks to follow him every day.

Some day he wants to be a farmer, and I believe that with Gods help, that dream will come true. Happy Birthday Bumby. I love you so much and thank God for blessing us with you.

Once again

At Uncle Ken's house in Michigan for Thanksgiving

First of all, this Wed. night I'm giving my testimony to get baptized at our church. It's at 7:00 and anyone who wants to come is welcome.

Second, here are some picture of our kittens!! We have 11. There were 13, but a couple died. :( So here they are. And if anyone would like to have one....... or two............ or seven.;)
We'd be happy to let you have them. The special on kittens this year is, take one for free, get two more for free. :D
There are two that weren't in the pictures 'cause they were to young.
But anyway, here they are.

The first five. From left to right: Gingersnap, Sausage, Spices, Jr. (black) and Hyena.
Yes, half all them are named after food. Ask my brothers.

The second five. The first kitten on the left died, then there's Yoda, Panther Pepperoni (orange) and Buckeye.
Our orange guys. Gingersnap, Pepperoni and Sausage.
The three girls. Buckeye, Spices and Yoda. Our faithful mother cat of ten kittens.

Happy Birthday!

I want to wish a very late Happy Birthday to Elaine. Her birthday was almost one weeks ago, May 17th, but we hope to celebrate it this weekend.

Ever since Elaine came here to America from Brazil two and a half years ago to be in our family, she's been nothing but a great sister-in-law and friend this whole time.

Love you and Happy Birthday Elaine! :D

Our latest picture of him.

As of today......

Today we had five kids at our house we were taking care of. Three of which were our nieces and nephew, but two others, Sofia and Requel Troyer.
It being a beautiful day out, we had a tea party out in the yard, and following much playing, lunch and finally getting wet.
All the kids were very tired by 1:00 and took nice, long naps. Which we were grateful for as well. :)





Lily was wearing camo to the tea party of course,
But she acted like a little lady. :)

Sofia, 5

Requel, 3

"More cookies?"
Bella didn't drink or talk very much.
Sofia and Requel enjoying their tea (chocolate milk)

By the way, that tea pot is empty. :)

"More tea please."

"No more tea?":(

Darren got bored with the whole thing as soon as the food was gone.

After tea they played for a while

Darren likes big trucks

My Lily

Andrea sent us this picture of Lily today. Isn't she adorable?

Happy Birthday Darren!

The other day was Darren Edwards 1st birthday. He's our little joy (most of the time:D)and has the cutest smile. He truly is the cutest baby boy in the world. :)
Happy Birthday Darren and I love you!
