Proud Big Sister

Today my brother, Clint, did one of the hardest things in his ministry. He is the youth minister at First Baptist New Home. Thursday, one of their youth and his father were killed in a motorcycle accident. Today, Clint sang at the funeral and did a beautiful job. Now they are leaving to take the youth to Glorieta, NM for youth camp. Please pray for Clint and Kerry and the youth. My prayer is that they will encounter God this week and that they will find comfort in Him. This will be the last trip Clint and Kerry take with this group. Next Sunday is Clint's first Sunday as youth pastor in Decatur. Please pray that the New Home group will continue to grow together and closer to God. Pray that someone will come in and pick up where Clint and Kerry left off.

I am very proud of Clint and his ministry. Clint, if you read this please know that I love you!

Superhero Cousins

Last week Cooper came to play while Kerry had class. The boys love to have blankets tucked in the back of their shirts as capes. Here are some pictures of Jefferson, Jarrett and Cooper in their Superhero capes. Pretty funny!

Jefferson's 4th Birthday Party

Saturday we had Jefferson's 4th birthday party. It was a painting, pizza and pool party. The kids "painted" cookies with their aprons on, ate pizza and swam...a lot! We had a great time with our friends and family. Thanks to our family who travelled to be with Jefferson on his special day. It means a lot to us.

Birthday Cake

Jefferson turns 4!!

It's hard to believe that our sweet boy is 4. I don't know how time has passed so quickly.

Here he is in his first days of life.

And here he is at his party.

Our First Blog

So, I decided to follow the lead of many of you and create a blog. I'm totally addicted to FaceBook, so hopefully I will enjoy this as well. The main reason I created this site now is because Brett and I leave in less than 2 weeks for a trip to Europe (with NO children). We haven't has a real vacation since our honeymoon 6 years ago! A lot has happend in 6 years. Thanks to both of our parents we will leave July 5 and return July 14 while our children play at home. Hopefully, I will be able to upload pictures and videos while we are gone, so check periodically to see where we are on our adventure.
