I know it looks like Conner is swimming, but he’s not. He just likes to go under water and glide to the side of the pool. He doesn’t cry and doesn’t get choked and wants to do it over and over again.

swimming lessons here we come.

Brock is our neighbor and I'm so glad that he and tanner are friends and he will come over and swim so I don’t have to.

bread of life

wed nite Bread of life is a ministry at our church where we cook dinner on Wednesdays before church. My mom has been very instrumental in how awesome this is.  We usually feed about 70 people a family style meal at the church and deliver about 20 meals to people who can’t get out. Last week we had an out of school bash. We ate party foods and played games. The kids really enjoyed it. I love seeing how these kids are growing and learning about God’s love,

jeff praying with some of the adults.

friday night a group of us went out to turkey creek, to cook-out and just tell the community that we love them., but most importantly God loves them.

we pick up these kids on wednesday nights for church and we have really fallen in love with them. how could we not, aren’t they precious? and we really want to meet their parents and tell them about God’s Good news for their lives.

it went great! we cooked hamburgers and hot dogs, played games, blew bubbles, sang songs and prayed with some of the people.

God is so awesome!

Our New Yard

april 090april 093      april 091

we finally got our yard landscaped, thanks to ms. teri smith. these are pictures before we really got started, but she had trimmed the bushes back so you could see what was in there. There was a beautiful tea olive plant behind that Japanese maple tree.april 115 april 116

doesn’t it already look a hundred times better?!

it looks absolutely beautiful!  the boys and i worked really hard planting all the plants and flowers with guidance from ms. teri. i also took that rotting box off the front porch and made a sign out of the lid.

i love to just ride by and look at my front yard now.

we planted some flowers by the pool too. i love looking at them while they boys are swimming.

Swimming

 swimming1

 It has finally gotten hot enough for the kids to swim. Tanner can swim like a fish and even dive down to the bottom of the deep end to get the dive sticks. Conner likes to swim with daddy. He doesn’t really like the swim ring, but likes for Jeff to dunk his head under water. It’s still not hot enough for mommy.
