~Our Faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ~

Why I'm blogging...

Welcome to our lives, our farm, and our family. Here is were we give you a view into our daily walk. I pray that it might encourage you while giving you a real life glance deeper into our lives. May we honor the Lord in all we do and say. My greatest hope is that anything you admire within our family points you right back to the Lord Jesus Christ and our love for HIM.

Fourth of July Fun at the Elliott's home


We were very blessed to be invited to attend the 'Annual Elliott Family 4th of July Fun'. We took Grandma T, Cousin Michelle, and Leelee with us. Here's a picture of the whole group...

~~Straight from my dear friend Mrs. Elliott...
We thought you might enjoy a few fun 4th of July facts about this year's event...
  • 100 people attended (20 more than last year!)
  • 57 were children (18 years and under)...there were more "children" in each family...just they keep growing and now are older than 18!
  • 13 families represented...some members coming in from as far as Canada, Indiana and California to join us all!
  • Wal-Mart was well represented with all the $3 and $5 patriot shirts being worn.
  • 8 grandparents...with Mama Niece being the crown jewel!
  • Only one outhouse causality...a precious little girl was "stranded" for a brief while until someone heard her need for attention
  • One engaged couple...getting married in less than a week...we are so happy for Jessica and Kerzdenn!!
  • 72 gallons of water was raced across the yard (not counting all the water that was worn or spilled)
  • No major injuries...Thank you God for your mercy upon us all!!!
