Rachel turned 3...and had a great party!

-
When Rachel came out of her quiet time I had to film her face when she saw all the decorations! It was priceless...especially when she was excited to see a chair....that we'd moved for the party!!! So hillarious. She was so excited.

So here's the spread....the melon is from our garden...and the salsa is tomato's and serano's from the garden also!








Her gift from Daddy and Mommy was this Minnie costume and she loved it!!!


Malachi was thrilled when he got to hang with his cousins. He loves them a ton and got to enjoy some time with Nick on his bike...yes he is outgrowing it fast!
And of course Diane got her baby fix for sure with Isaiah in one arm and my sisters baby, Madison in the other.







We finally got to enjoy the bean bag(that looked like cheese triangles) toss into Minnie's mouth that we had for her party last year. We didn't get to use it or the pinata last year due to weather.



And for a bit Uncle Jason got some baby fix time too!

And the kids enjoyed the purse pinata...Rachel ended up pulling the right string!


And that night we had a special phone call set up...from the real Minnie Mouse and it was precious. We were so busy earlier that morning we missed the call so I hurried to reschedule it online and Minnie called just for Rachel and told her to enjoy her party...which she'd already had but that didn't matter to Rachel!

Moving to California, our Journey from 2 viewpoints.

     So we are moving to San Diego California!  We are going to be attending a Christian Discipleship school called IMPACT 195 (i195.org).  The goal of this school is to grow people in their relationship with Jesus Christ so that they can impact the world for God's kingdom during these 12 months and afterwards for the rest of their lives.  Please go online and check it out if you are interested in seeing what we are going to be up to!      Since we have made the decision to go to San Diego, time has gone by so quickly, so here is the back story from Aaron's perspective.  I have worked now for Furniture Row for almost 10 years!  I have also been married for 10 years!  So needless to say, I started with Furniture Row 3 months after we got married back in 2003.  As most of you know, we have moved from Colorado to Montana to Indiana to Michigan and then back to Colorado!  It has gone by quickly and we have had 4 amazing kids in the process.  Last year as Malachi started school ful

Wheewww! What a CHRISTmas we have had. I know many of you all know about our surpise gift of delivering Caleb almost 9 weeks early on Dec. 22. But I also know that there are many details we just have been too overwhelmed with this to share. So here goes. This journey has been amazing. It is as if the Lord just said "I want to show you more of me. More of why so many things and people are in your lives. Remember...I am the one writing this story and I have always had something greater than you know planned." No kidding! The minute that the doctor said I was dialated to 6 we looked at each other and a flood of crying came...and came...and came. And then thru the tears Aaron's first words were..."Do you like Caleb Anthony?" Yep, we had not fully decided on his name and this was our top pic for a while we just couldn't hammer it down. Absolutely is his name= "COURAGEOUS". When the time came for the last few hours of real hard contractions this time, i

This season is full. Full of sad times, busy times and some great memories made. One thing I truly enjoy is to cook. It is in my blood. My Mawmaw is an amazing cook who then taught my mom who inspired me to cook. All three of us...well I should say four because my sister is amazing too....cook different in many ways but the same in others. It is just the joy of creating. For me I find so much joy in finding new tastes and beautiful dishes. I also find joy in old fashioned cookin. This one all started when we had moved to Indianapolis. It was the first time ever I didn't have a job. I was 7 months pregnant in a new town/state and didn't know anyone. As many of you know I rarely can sit still. I need to be productive.....and this came to mind. Why not create delicious jellies and jams.. Not only is it super cost effective. It is a fun gift to give and a great way to make healthier options for my kiddos. So...can away. Here is this summers first bunch...and I am sure there will be
