Miss K's 8th birthday and Josh's late party

Happy 8th Birthday to my second daughter and forth born child. Miss K is such a blessing to me. She's growing up way too fast of course...such a big help, yet still a little girl. This year she's taken over the job of family laundry and is doing a great job. She's very responsible (most of the time!)

Lots of fun gifts from friends and family!


The piñata that she chose. She had never hit a piñata before. She got to go first and then we went up by age until an older friend finally broke it. Fun!


The cake with coolwhip icing that she requested...yummy!!




All the girls taking a break from chasing butterflies to get a quick picture taken.


A three legged race with Papa B as the officiator.

The boys couldn't wait to hold a volleyball party for Josh's 17 birthday...too bad it's freezing in January. This gave us the perfect opportunity to have our friends over for a very fun, but competitive game! They had a great time!!

A full busy week...but blessed!

Last week was SO BUSY. We did volleyball practice on M. Tuesday night we went to a ceremony honoring Josh for being inducted into the National Technical Honor Society. Wed was our only down day...stayed home and crammed school! Thursday, Josh took his drivers test and was rewarded with a licenses, but not until they could work all the bugs out of the paperwork...lines and more lines to wait in!!
Friday the boys played Volleyball at the Norman league. Josh's team won both games and were ecstatic. Joe was very disappointed in how things went this week for his team...hopefully next week will be better for him. Saturday, I was blessed to go crop with Tamy for 12 hours. My mom kept the girls to bless me with this 'free' time. Thanks MOM!!! I got 21 pages completed...yea!
Finally today (Sunday) I was very blessed to worship our Lord with fellow believers, listen to Mr. Fagala exhort us to follow God's word, and soak in all the wisdom this group has. I praise the Lord for good friends and the support they give me!
