The Birthday Party.

We were blessed beyond measure last night . Thank you so much for all the people that made Emma , Faith and Hope feel special. We also had family and dear friends minister to us by bringing us or buying us groceries.... WOW... God really dose know all our needs and provides for us abundantly . And my sweet husband would remind me often when I get nervous about the current situation that God has always provided for us. How quickly I seem to for get that my God is big enough for all our needs. He provided a HOME<>SHOP>APPLIANCES>FOOD>CHILDREN.... so here am I humbled before the Lord for ever getting worried... I can be so silly. Thank you God.

We also spoke to the Wood's Family tonight in Korea... They are doing well . For those of you who do not know them they are friends of ours from church and we used to go to bricktown with them on Saturday nights to hand out tracks and wittiness to others about Jesus. The excepted a teaching position there in a privet school to teach English to students and so they are there to hopefully get to share the gospel with them and help them to understand to serve God not idols. It was neat I called Pam at 9:30 sat night and it was 11:30 Sunday morning there. How cool. Well have a great night and thanks again to my family and friends.

As for me I got to step on a long rusty nail this morning and praise the Lord I had a tetanus shot back in 06 so now I just have to keep my foot wrapped up so I do not get an infection ... oh did I mention it hurts really bad to walk on it and any pressure at all is very painful....

We are going to have a garage sale and try to get rid of some of our collection.. of ummmm JUNK. ONE MANS JUNK IS ANOTHER MANS TREASURE..... SO our treasures.... we are having a treasure sale. lol

Well my little John Michael is growing in leaps and bounds and doing way more stuff then any other child we have. he can stand up and he pulls up to everything and is crawling all over the place. I do believe he will be walking by thanksgiving. He is learning to get up on things.... THE COUCH..... I turned around and he was just lying peacefully drinking his bottle and then turned around again and there he is standing on the couch ...... wow So one more in motion.....


Mamma's Seven Children


Having seven children is such a blessing
even with all the crying and all the messing...

We mess up and clean up all day long
ohh is some one crying? Nikki says " don't worry mom
nothing is wrong" ;} hee hee...

Emma is sweet and makes everything so neat what a treat.

Ty is faithful and fearless and says "Where's my gun... Im gonna kill it!

BOOM... CRASH..... ohhh what's that... ? Oh its just Faith climbing the quilt rack!

Joseph is cunning and ohh so sly..... Momma Hope did it not I....

Hope and shoes are partners in crime ... for all thru the house we can only find one at a time.
never together or in the same room...... but I usually find them in the bathroom...


John Michael the baby of all... but a package of dynamite bigger then them all.

So you see why I love my seven dear children... So sweet and loving I could have a million. God knows whats best for me and so here I am with seven children in tow.

Well we had a fun Friday and Praise the Lord JOSEPH IS POTTY TRAINED.... And it only took 1 day... .I can't hardly believe it my self but he is 2 1/2 and we could discuss the matter.. lol I know I waited too long but hey I plead 7. Well I hope you like the pictures and Please pray for the shop. We are extremely slow which we always are this time of year and making ends meet are getting harder to do. I know that with God all things are possible. Have a great weekend.

John and Beth



At almost 7 mo old he is a woppen 16lbs and really long ...... he is getting so big.







This just dose not seem fair. But I guess this is what brothers do.



I am having so much fun out side.


Ohhhhh loook at me.

Building a camp fire..... They didn't get it out of there system yet.



Puppy love...... I turned around to see him gumming angels nose.....YUKKY. John might get his first Listerine experience.

Our Camping Adventure

John is officially crawling ... But just far enough to get to something he can pull him self up on to so that he can stand up.... man he is just going to start walking before I am ready.








WHEW...................... IM HOME... I MADE IT THROUGH THE CAMPING ADVENTURE AND had a better time then I though I would. I got to spend time with my husbands family. They are really precious to me. Thanks to all who helped me.... And who put up with my FRAZZLED state of mind. Out in the wide open doors I can not easily put my children in the box I so much wish for. This is were training has paid off and also you find out were your lacking... lol The kids had a blast they already want to go back. They spent most of there time on the boat or in the pool. I got to make homemade Ice cream for everyone... a 1923 hand crank White Mountain wooden and cast iron Ice cream maker... Man dose it make a diffrance then the newer ones. Here are alot of misc pictures. Also John made awesome cornbread and biscuits on the dutch oven over the camp fire. It was really neat.
