Attempting to Shock Rachel worse ;-)

Girls when they first came to our church--this was the first camp after they started (they'd been coming a month or so) Chelsey really took to the evangelists and although the younger 2 girls didn't talk hardly at all she would always say "Bell... Bell"



And these 2 were the last Sunday we were able to have church... Chelsey is 4 1/2 and Shyanne is 5 1/2.

Mixed emotions

Yes, I know this is just a few minutes late but I'm still posting it!

Happy Birthday (3/11) to my sister... she has to remain nameless or she will wring my neck... but she's the one next to me for those who know us ;). Guess what today means????? It's only 5 months til MY birthday!

Also, today (or yesterday now) marked the 2 year anniversary since the passing of Rodney & Beth Montgomery & their children. Let us still remember to hold their families up in prayer every day!! May they rest in peace!!

Austin, Rodney, Jackson, Beth, Arianna, & Trenton Montgomery
went to be with Jesus March 11, 2006

Anyone else sick of snow?!?

If the snow went away and we NEVER had it again, I think I would be VERY happy!!

Look... even the SNOWMEN wish the winter would just GO AWAY!! Come on spring!!

Hurry up spring & get here!!

Life

Revival ended Sunday. It was really good but he was super long!! I meant to get a picture of them but it just didn't work out.

As you can see, I've updated my blog and even put on a new template! Yes, Rach, I did this all without someone telling me too!

I thought I would put up a couple pictures... This first is of my Sunday school class in Oct. '06 and the second is PART of my class in Jan. '08. Look at the increase in attendance and how much my girls have grown! All praise be to God! It is ONLY through Him!

These are my girls that I've had since Chels was 1 and she turned 3 the day after this picture was taken. Shyanne was like a few wks from being 4.

Mikey & Levi are brothers (like 14 months apart) and Shyanne & Chelsey are sisters (11 months apart)...yes, Chelsey & Mikey are cousins lol. (mixed up relationships at our church for sure!!)

Updates...

Hmm... what should I update with? Since I have a few "newbies" viewing me now, it should be something interesting huh?

Well, we lost another aunt and had her funeral a week ago so it's been a pretty sad time. Right now we are in the midst of revival with the Cawmans. It's been really good but he's super long!

I got my GOOD computer monitor back BUT before I did... I had uploaded all my pics on my other computer soooooo pics for the most part will have to wait.

This last Sunday we had Rachel & her boys with us and had a good time discussing everyone's blogs.

Well someone is trying to figure out who my family is so I'm going to upload our Christmas picture. I don't have one of my dad and that's who most people would know.


Welp... that's all folks!!!

Happy Birthday!!

Well today marks the birthday of TWO of my friends!

One is my really really REALLY good friend Barb! She won't see this but her niece and some that know her will soooo I'm posting it anyhow!!

The other is a friend from my "childhood" lol... makes me sound so old!! Annette Musser... we were really close when we were younger and then she moved away :( but hopefully through the i-net we can get semi-close again!!

Happy birthday gals!!

Been awhile?

Yeah, yeah, Rachel, I'm working on it lol. What should I post in this post... well...

Lots has happened since I last posted. Back in January-in a matter of 11 days, we had lost just about as many friends and family. One of the most devastating deaths was the little 12 year old from our church that burned in a fire. Things slowed down after that for a little while, but it seems like they are starting to speed back up. Just this morning we found out that the mother of the first man that died in January passed away yesterday. So it has been a busy/rough couple of months.

In my "spare" time, thanks to Mrs. Springer lol I have been RUINED!! She got me started on free stuff & I just can't stop lol. I have ordered almost 200 things! I have gotten right around 50 right now. Some days it feels like Christmas!!

Some of the stuff that I have gotten has been:
**Contour Diabetes Meter Kit (strips & all)**
**One Touch Mini Meter Kit (in pink...again with strips & all)**
**Colgate Kindergarten pack of toothbrushes & toothpaste**
**Target book bag**
**tote, water bottle, calendar, & pens**
**pens**
**address labels**
**coloring books**
**Bible & study books**
**calendar**
**sippy cup**
**stickers**
**journal & pen**
and much, much more... lol but I won't bore you!!

Anyways, that's my life for right now!! Hope you're doing pretty good too!

We start revival in like a wk or two so pray for us... Oh, yeah, that's another thing that happened... we had a ministerial revival with the guys from AWC. It was REALLY awesome & we had a good time of fellowship with them all.
