the smokey mountains. ahhhh. it is beautiful in God's country.

we spent our Easter vacation in the mountains with my family, parents and sister's family. it was a rare treat and fun was had by all.
already looking forward getting out there again soon. i love it there. God's beauty is in everything.

praying you all had a lovely Easter with those you love.

there is nothing like a sweet new baby to bring joy and HOPE into everyone's lives...

my cousin, who also happens to be my sister-in-law (yes, it's legal. brothers married cousins), just had a new baby girl and she is absolutely beautiful.

my baby came with me to see her and take pics and just relish in her awesomeness.

here's a peek.

nothing makes us prouder...

than a boy who knows his memory verses.

both of my sweet boys know their stuff!! here you will see my littlest man share 4 verses we have taught him. we try to get our boys to say these verses whenever we get a chance so it not only is by memory but also so it will remain in their hearts.

there is nothing more important than knowing God's word.

so proud! :)

enjoy!

We wish you...

a MERRY CHRISTmas!

hope everybody had a wonderful time remember why we celebrate this holiday. Jesus.

love to all
