Lots of Changes!!

We recently moved back to Spooner and now we are moving back to Watertown. Precious number 4 will arrive soon and everyone is doing well. John and Alyssa are well on there way with school and Emily is a bundle of joy. Her little personality shows strong and true to her red headed self!!

A Little Update

We have had a great fall and winter thus far. The kids are growing so much. Emily had turned one and John and Alyssa will soon be having there 5th and 8th birthdays. They grow so fast. Here are a few pictures of them during these past few months.

A few favorites

Sometimes life just seems to be going way to fast. We have enjoyed summer thus far and have seen the Lord working in amazing ways. Here are a few summer favorites. Our church is doing great and so many exciting things have happened. We have had so many groups come and help and seen God working to keep us in eau claire despite Greg's lay off nearly 7 wks ago. So many times it has been easy to doubt or worry but God know our every need and he has provided in so many ways. We are praising him for his amazing love. God's word tells us He will grow His church. We are seeing him work here in eau claire through victory baptist church.

A few random pictures of my kiddos!

4 years old

Johnathan is already four. He had a great time at his birthday party this past weekend. Here are a few pitures of the event!

Fun with Emily

A Few Favorite Christmas Memmories

Alyssa gets a Ken Doll so two girls don't have to get married anymore! Wedding seems to be the theme of most "Barbie moments" these days.
John, all dressed up.

Emily is wandering what all this craziness is about.

Emily just wants to eat, John wants to play helmet hero, and Alyssa doesn't mind stopping a moment for a picture~!

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.............

Alyssa has lost her two front teeth just in time for Christmas. She is a little unsure about this new look but we are enjoying teasing her and she enjoys the fun.

Our little Girl

Here are a few more pics of our precious little girl. We are enjoying her very much. John only enjoys her when she is not crying. He asked if we could sell her and get a boy, when she was crying the other day. He is always thinking up something. Alyssa loves having a baby sister.

Our New Arrival

Our beautiful baby girl was born on Sunday. Her name is Emily Grace. She is doing great. More pics to come later.

Little Buddies

I was recently just taking pictures outside for fun. I took these few pictures of the kids together. I am so glad they are truely little buddies. They play together so well, most of the time. I just enjoy watching them. Now we will see what happens when number three enters the picture.

Our Little Man

John had the privelate of being a little ringbearer in a wedding on Saturday. ( It was one of Greg's co-workers.) He was such a Ham. He stood still for pictures, walked down the isle very slowly, and took the rings to the best man during the ceremony. I never new a 3 year old could be so good. So anyway here are some pics of him being a little Man. He was dissappointed at the end of the day and with a sigh said "No more Wedding?"

John's first go-kart ride

John has always had a need for speed. So of course go-karting is right up his alley. He smiled the whole time and they were really going to fast for an action picture so these are before they left. He loved every minute!

What is on Fire?

We had an adventureous weekend! We started out by going to family camp and meeting up with some of our great friends. The Bums decided to follow us home wich we were very excited about. They helped with our Sunday services wich was a huge blessing. We then went to action city and had a great time playing and fellowshiping. We went back to there motel for a swim and then the girls went to dinner and the guys went to a baseball game. I guess this is when the fire started. On our way back we recieved a phone call from our husbands that the motel was on fire they were staying at. Well, if you know our husbands, you would know they like to "get us going". So we were not believing the tail at all. So as we drove closer and smelled the smoke and then saw the smoke we were a little suprised. But in it all we saw the Lord and he is always amazing. No one was hurt and the Bums were able to get all there stuff out later that evening. They also were moved to a very nice motel where they enjoyed the rest of there time in eau claire. So here is a few pics of our adventureous weekend.

And of course the FIRE!
