June 29Th 2007 My brother Leslie Birthday. He is 29 this year!! Happy Birthday Les, I love you. It seems like yesterday when we were eating birthday cake around the kitchen table with Mom, Dad, and Grandpa with you on his lap. Wow how time fly's! I love you so much!! The best brother anyone could ever have. I miss you so much and maybe one day the Lord will have us closer to each other. Till then know you are in my prayers and heart all the time. You have done well. A wonderful wife and beautiful little girl. Enjoy your day!

I finally got to go See Kaylee May!! She is 4 weeks old here. Look at her she is so beautiful. Our Friends James and Katie are so proud to finally be parents. I will be watching her while her mom goes to work in a couple a weeks. Now that is what I'm talking about the easy way to have a baby. Spoil them and send them home. (LOL) Congratulations James and Katie may the Lord bless you and your new baby. You did well!!

Layisha first time staying the night with us all by herself. We had such a good time. You can come stay with us any time you want. We miss you!!

Look at the babies sleep. They played so hard they all fell out. Hezekiah fell asleep first. Then the girls. Layisha slept hard she got nice and wore out by all her uncles and aunt.

Layisha loved Titus. She was a little scared at first as you can see. By the end of the weekend she was playing and running with him. She thought he was really neat.

The Lord is so good. He has blessed us with a beautiful family!! Now we have beautiful Grand babies! What a blessing!!

The boy next to Hezekiah is his friend who invited them to VBS. his name is Matthew. It is amazing how much they look like brothers. They are great friends.

The last day of VBS they put on a program for the Parents. It was great to see them so excited and singing to the Lord. It was great!

Genesis and Hezekiah visited a Vacation Bible School the first week of June. This is the Leader. They had a wonderful week and learned so much about the Lord. They are really on fire!!

The Last week of May Malachi got to go to his first Basketball camp. He had a great time. He really likes Basketball and is getting very good at it. He learned a lot and got to meet some Ku players. What a experience he will never forget.

Genesis and Malachi best friends little sister. They are watching their brothers play basketball.

Malachi got his first experience playing skins against shirts. Malachi hated taking his shirt off. I laughed and told him to look around he was not the only one with no shirt on.

Malachi passing the ball in. He got to meet a few of the Ku players. They nick named him Big Man! He got a kick out of that.

Malachi playing in the championship game at Basketball camp. The winner gets to play some of the Ku players. Malachi team won!! So they got to play Ku. Of course my batteries on my camera ran out for the game. He loved this camp and learned a lot.

Gabriel field trip to Wild West World was at end of May just the day before he got out of school. I am a little behind on my blog so please bear with me as I catch you up. We have been so busy since we got out of school. I thought it would slow down a little. Not a chance we have been just as busy this summer. So I'm going to catch you up a little.

Today is Gabriel last field trip. They went to Wild west world and we began our day on the train ride that tours the whole park. Gabriel and I got to spend one on one time today and we rode as many rides we could. We had a blast!!

Gabriel and Mom having Fun!!

Gabriel and I on the Bumper Bulls!! We had a blast today. It is not often I get to spend time with one Kid at a time. Today was Gabriel and mommy day!

Gabriel on top of the Farris Wheel.

Gabriel and I took a picture of his teacher and Husband in the Wild West World version of the FarisWheel. Yep that's right it is a covered wagon. It was so windy! I thought we were going to blow off of it.

Gabriel rode the Canoe ride 3 times in a row. He loved it. I did not ride this one with him.. I was starting to feel sick. He took me on several rides I'm not so use to so my stomach was getting real weak by now. The things we do for our kids. I got some really cool pictures of him on it tho.

Look what Gabriel won! One of the Students paid for all the kids to play the Duck Game. You all win a prize and Gabriel won a new friend.

Gabriel on the plane ride! He had a blast. Wild West World is our new amusement park. They had a day for the Special Needs Children in Wichita to get in free. So there were a lot of schools and a ton of kids. It was a lot of fun. Thank you Wild West World!

Gabriel loves to ride the Carousel. You see he hooked his toy into the seat belt. Of course you know he loves horses so he would naturally love the Carousel!

Gabriel having lunch with his class. They have played hard today now they are starving. Gabriel ate his lunch half of mine and some of his teachers. Yes he is a growing boy.

Our last ride for the day at Wild West World. Gabriel and I had a blast!! He had a great time with his class. The Last field trip of the year. It was a great one!

May 28Th our Beautiful Daughter Annie Birthday!! We love you and hope you have a wonderful Birthday. Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Annie, Happy Birthday to you!!

May 19, 2007 Martinis restaurant Salina Kansas. We all got to take Dad out for a special dinner. We treated him to dinner(you know he still had to try to do something but not allowed not even the tip). We are celebrating how proud of you we are. We love you both so much. It was so nice to all be back together again. It is few and far in between and so when we do get together is so nice. Nothing like having some food with family! It was good food and better than that with family. I miss being all together. I pray the Lord brings us together more often. Now that Dad is retired it should be easier. Congrats Dad !!
