Sunday Feb 15th.... Rain lots of it.. Wrestling lots of it.. And food lots of it...
Jake had wrestling. So we spent most of the afternoon watching him wrestle. He did so well. He did not win any of the matches. He was so frustrated with himself. This is a club team, so most of the kids have been wrestling for at least 4 yrs. I was so proud of him. When he started wrestling for the middle school, he could not even do an arch. Now he is so high off the ground. He held his own. His shoulder is pretty sore. So now we need to look into buying something for shoulder support while he wrestles. If anyone has one and wants to sell it let us know..It did also rain the whole time while we were there.. It down poured..
It was a HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Scooter,Haley and Alex.. They were visiting from WA.. Our picture taker... Some shots of the night. We brought 12 with us and then there was already 7 there. We had a house full. It was fun, even with that many people in the house. We had a spagetti dinner,(compliments of my sis n law), Garlic bread, and salad. It was so yummy... Then root beer floats and cupcakes. Mike.. Say Cheese!!! My brother. Doesn't he look good after his accident.. God is good.. Girls focused on playing the games.. Gerald and JD. Being Gerald and JD.. Keeping us laughing..Gosh life would be boring without the two of them.. They just look at each other and start being goofy... My nephew and his g/f. These to are the ones who introduced Johanna to Chris.. Cupid's in the making..:D Olya playing with TEDDY. He wanted in on the fun too. I heard he was pretty wore out when we left.. TT and Sarah... She is Gerald's little sis. She came and hung out with us for the weekend. She kept throwing up. She would say, I think I have the VIRUS...She trys to be so grown up for an 8 yr old.. Jake and I.. Hanging out playing some video games.
We played this really fun game called,"I see a BEAR!" It was funny to watch.. The kids seem to think it was funny too. Especially the ending. LOL..
... Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act ..." -- ~Proverbs 24:12
I love spending time with my hubby, he is my best friend. I love him with my whole heart. He is such a strong pillar in our family. I thank God that he gave me him to be my husband. I am so blessed.
We are a God Seeking, God Fearing Family that is far from perfect. Mike and I have been married for 19 yrs. We have 7 children 22,19,17,16,15,15,14. Join us as we share our life experiences on this journey called life. Especially raising 6 teenagers..
Here is the oldest..He can make us laugh. He is becoming quite the young man.He has a call on his life to be a Youth Pastor. Pray for him as he listens to what God's will is for his life.
Christopher Michael
Just graduated High School. At heart though.... he is our cowboy. He feels called to go to the Navy and then become a police officer. Pray for him as he moves from adolescence to adulthood.
Julianna Lubov
Here is our oldest daughter. She is so stinking sweet. Never know what she is going to do next. She loves gymnastics and cheerleading. She has grown so much these past few years. She has such a kind heart. Pray for her as she learns to walk with God on a more relational level.

She is one self motivated girl. Loves to be the center of attention in a group setting. God has called her to use her voice among the people of the Nation. Pray for her as she learns to be bold in her walk with the Lord.
