There Will Be A Day

I am reminded by this song that no matter what we face on our journey, there is One who can take it all away. I can't wait for that day!

Oh My...

Our cat "Max" has taken a liking to the kids stuffed bunny...

Having Some Fun...

Happy Birthday!

Today was Keaton's 4th birthday. We had some family over this afternoon to help us celebrate. Firetrucks are his favorite thing these days so we went with that for a theme.

I even found firetruck candles! He had fun blowing them out.

We had a little too much fun with the party hats!

I blindfolded the kids and they had to try to put the tire on the firetruck.

Keaton got some great gifts. Thanks everyone!

He had a good day! I can't believe my baby is 4.

Save A Life

Tonight we went to the church for the chicken and noodle dinner. Afterwards, we toured the new youth room. Makenna says she can't wait to be older so she can be in that room. I for one can wait... a very long time... for her to be a teenager! Then, Stacey and I decided to donate blood. I haven't donated in a very long time and seeing the girl a couple people ahead of us pass out cold on the floor made me a bit queasy for a minute. All went well though and we even got t-shirts our kids decided to sleep in tonight.

Art Club

Makenna has been in the after school art club at the Cultural Center for about a month and a half. She is really enjoying the hour a week she gets to do art there. She says Abby is really nice. Makenna has learned about the artists. She comes home and teaches us what colors one artist liked to paint with or that one artist painted while he was sad. This was the painting she did today. It is a self portrait with her pet. I am glad she is enjoying it so much.
