Amabella’s Kindergarten Picture Day

Last Thursday, October 4th, Amabella had pictures at Pleasant Hill Christian School. Since I am homeschooling her and we are working with this school, she got her picture taken by herself, with the K-1 class, and with the school. Then, Amabella, Azrelius, & I drove to Oma & Grandad’s house and met up with Adeliza, […]

A Few Pictures

I’ve been meaning to post a few pictures of Azri & our family from his first week and a half, so here are a few to look at. Azrelius is a very good and easy baby. We are so thankful! He sleeps well at night. He’s healthy and content. He really only cries if he […]

Special Presents for the Girls

In preparing for baby brother’s arrival, I picked out 3 different dress-up/role playing outfits for the girls to have someone give them when we were in the hospital. Well, Oma had thoughtfully bought the girls new flip flops and Great Aunt Susan had some special gifts of notepads and stickers for them, so they got […]

Baby Boy’s Birth Story and the Few Days Before

I always like to write down the experience I have in childbirth, mostly for the sake of my own memory. If others are interested, I am happy to share, so here I go. I love to give the back story, so this will be lengthy. 🙂 Over the couple weeks prior to our son’s birth, […]

The Naming Process Unveiled

  *Azrelius – pronunciation (as-rely-us) Naming our children is something Trevor and I take very seriously and take our time doing. Below is a bit of the story of how we got to our son’s name.

Family of Five – Portraits

We had pictures taken at church on August 24th for our new church directory, and I just received the images yesterday. I thought some of them were pretty good. We haven’t taken professional family portraits yet, if memory serves me correctly, so I wanted to have these. Please feel free to select any of the […]

Colossians 3:18- bible view of the family

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

I’m 35!!!

I celebrated 35 yesterday and we’ve been kind of celebrating all week. 🙂 I love spreading out my birthday! I opened my present from Trev (a fun stove-top popcorn popper) on Sunday. Then I opened cards from my sis and Amabella Monday. Tuesday, we had Chinese food & yummy chocolate mousse cake from Oliver’s Market […]

The Girls Being Silly

It is not uncommon for me to find the girls being silly, I suppose that’s a daily pleasure I have. 🙂 Often, they are “pregnant” with babies under their shirt, or have just had a baby. Recently, Avalina came up to me with a doll in her shirt and patted her tummy. She said, “mommy, […]

The Girls’ Room – Complete with Bunk Bed

On Wednesday, August 22, Trevor and I got the girls’ bunk bed set up in their room and Trevor took down the crib. Avalina now gets her own toddler bed. Amabella has the top bunk and Adeliza has the bottom bunk. Amabella has been asking for her bunk bed since before Christmas. I kept putting […]

Pastor Harper – 8/26/12 Colossians 3:1-14 Seek the heavenly Slay the earthly I need to talk to Amabella specifically about these things in Colossians 3, because she prayed with me last October.

Homemade Pizza

The girls love when we make pizza! Amabella insisted I take pictures when they were done spreading their crust and topping it. Of course, it’s hard for them not to eat the toppings while making the pizza, but that’s ok. 🙂

Yummy Dinner That Just Looked Pretty

The other day, Trev barbecued hamburgers and I made French fries for dinner. I just thought the table looked so colorful with the veggies, melon, fries, and the placemats the girls and I made in July. 🙂

Avalina’s Cards & Stickers

Some time after her birthday, we pulled out Avalina’s birthday cards to read together again. She also had some stickers from Great Aunt Debbie and she HAD to open them right then. She had fun sitting on her bedroom floor sticking them all over her arm, then sharing some with Adeliza. *Note the tutu she […]

Avalina’s Family Party
