Life:)

True to the title of this post, it's just another glimpse into the life of the Sebo Family!:) I had so much to post about that I had to come up with a title that fit!:)

Last month, my family celebrated my 17th birthday. Daddy bought some stuff to make sandwiches and root beer floats(with homemade root beer he had made while I was gone learning how to sew at some friends house.:) Aunt Adrianna, Christina, Grandma, Aunt Rocio and little Sofia came to visit!!:) It was so fun to see our new little cousin again, and Aunt Adrianna brought a cake, cookies and ice cream. It was really special just to spend the day at home with family.

To jump ahead...Thursday, Daddy presented me with a wonderful belated birthday present!!:) I am now the VERY happy owner of a Canon EOS Canon 7D!!!:) I am so grateful to Daddy and I am thankful to the Lord for His blessings!! I hope that this camera will be a tool with which I can glorify the Lord first and foremost!!:)

I had a perfect opportunity to try my new camera out on Friday. (Ryan and I usually spend the day at church. While I babysit for one of the mothers attending the ladies Bible study, Ryan watches a theology video or does some dusting. Afterwards. we eat lunch together, maybe play a game or two and then start cleaning/dusting and organizing things around church. When we are done cleaning we just spend time talking, sometimes just the two of us, or with Pastor Steve and his son Justin, if they are not too busy. We attend Greek and Theology in the evening.)

I just had to post some photos of the two little ones I get to babysit. They're such cuties and I think you'll agree!!:)

Brooke:)

Caleb:)

And of course, after we were done cleaning, I just had to grab a few portraits to test the camera and all it's features!:) I'm really enjoying it!:)

I thought Ryan looked alot like Daddy here.

Justin, in the office.

Pastor Steve(This picture was too good to pass up!)

Jonathan and Jonathan studying for Greek Class. (Something I need to do..)

Saturday was another lovely day of rain! Praise the Lord for His goodness in sending us rain!!:) We have enjoyed it very much!:)

Timothy, hanging out in the chair.

Katie and Isaiah:)

Daddy bought a projecter and we have enjoyed watching a few movies on the wall:) This particular time we were watching "Amazing Grace."

Sunday, I couldn't wait to take pictures with my new camera. Daddy took some during orchestra. That went fairly well though, my jaw did hurt a little after not playing for two weeks, due to having my wisdom teeth removed.:)

Sarah showed me how to use some of the features on the camera and we spent a good amount of time discussing our cameras, as she has the Canon EOS 50D.

discussing hymns

talking

Orchestra practice

After orchestra, Ryan and I went to Carmel Village, a retirement place that the young men preach at twice a month. When we came back, I took some pictures of the string quartet practicing.

Rachel and Janice

the very organized pile of music:)

Cristin and Emily

the guys talking

"Ashley..."

Once the practicing is done, the talking starts:)

Having fun

I hope to post many more pictures in the future as most of these are from Sunday and Friday but, I wanted to post something!!:) May the Lord bless you as you start another week! Have a wonderful evening!:)

~ Sofia Rose Huck ~

It was with great pleasure that our family had the joy of meeting our new cousin and niece: Sofia Rose Huck!:)

Uncle Dan and Aunt Rocio were blessed with a beautiful baby girl on December 22, 2009. She was born at St, Joseph's Hospital in Orange. Because the hospital only allowed visitors from 18 years old and up, we finally met our sweet cousin yesterday!! (We also had an adventure with the nursing cape Rocio is wearing, and Mama is praising the Lord it is all finished!!) She is an absolute doll!!!:)

Here she is, and yes, she was born with that MUCH hair!!:)
sleeping in Mommy's arms:)

Sofia Rose:) She wasn't to happy to be interrupted in the middle of her meal!:)

Danny

It was so exciting to see Rocio and the baby! The Lord has been so gracious!! Dan and Rocio are so thankful for their precious little daughter! We are equally excited with this new addition to the family! Welcome, little Sofia Rose!!

"You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, were as yet there were none of them."
Psalm 139:13-16 NKJV

Happy 4th Birthday Joshwee!~

Monday, our family celebrated Joshua's 4th birthday!!

With our season passes, we headed off to Knotts Berry Farm for the day, at Joshua's request. (Daddy was able to take the day off to go with us which was a real treat!) We had a really special day, and the Lord gave us great weather. Before we headed off, Daddy thanked the Lord for blessing us with our little "Joshwee" 4 years ago.

We spent most of our time at "Camp Snoopy" and it was fun to ride with the little tykes and watch their expressions! Joshua rode everything there was to ride in "Camp Snoopy" with me.

The afternoon flew by and soon his little head was nodding. We couldn't let him fall asleep quite yet though, as we hadn't presented him with his cake. (Originally the plan was for me to make him a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting but, as we spent the day at Knotts, Daddy and Mama thought it would be best to buy him a "Funnel Cake" which is somewhat like a huge jelly donut.) Mama pulled him out of the stroller and had him walk so he would not fall asleep. Daddy bought his Funnel Cake" and after we sang to him, he enjoyed his long awaited "birthday cake!"

We had a very full, but fun, day! It was such a blessing to be able to spend the day together as a family and celebrate our little Joshwee's birthday!

Here is one of those "family" moments as we walk to the park entrance:)

Joshua stopping for a picture with "Linus" and very excited to start the day!
