Sweet 16!!!

















































































"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them."
Ecclesiastes 12:1



Our "Sweet Pea" is "Sweet 16" & we are SO thankful for her..... it is such a joy for us to watch her turn into a young lady. Our prayer for her is that she will continue to desire to draw closer to the Lord & have a heart to serve Him all of her life.


I asked the boys what their favorite things were about their beloved sister & this is what they had to say:


Levi: "I love her because she is fun & she snuggles me."


Lucas: "She is the best sister & is happy most of the time & she is lots of fun!"


Trey: "She is loving & a good comforter & I love her."



Coletyn: "I love playing sports with her. She is very caring & my best friend."


Above are pics from her birthday sleepover. We went to the park & played VB & Ultimate Frisbee(which was a sacrifice for some of her friends, knowing how much she loves sports...they all played ALL evening with their whole hearts & with smiles on their faces:-)) & then we went to Sweet P.'s Ice Cream for some homemade ice cream & then walked down to a spot overlooking the river to chat. She is incredibly blessed with a wonderful group of friends....they share so many wonderful memories & this is just one small one:-)! I remember praying for the Lord to give her a good friend to share memories with, & He not only gave her one, but several! He has richly blessed her life & ours.
















Finally....
















FINALLY....Faith's room is painted! Through all of the houses we've lived in & built...her room was always last & therefore never got done! 16 years & 5 houses later...her room is painted!!!

In May we had a wonderful time celebrating our little chef's 11th birthday!

He LOVES fancy meals & all that entails...including the dishes used,


table decor, etc. So we ate like kings & queens all day long!


We surprised him & woke him up at 6:00 am(early for him), so he could


have his breakfast date with Daddy(our tradition for all of our chillins)!


He chose a Motocross Cake for his birthday sleepover & had a wonderful


time target practicing, playing kickball, roasting hotdogs, playing legos &


tons of other fun things boys do with friends the Lord has blessed him with! (& Grandpa
& Grandma)!!!
