Katie's Day!

Friday, August 15th, we celebrated Caytlin's birthday. It seemed like a regular ordinary day, except for Caytlin. We got the house in order and were planning to get out the door and purchase a bike with Caytlin's birthday money. It was a long time later we were all in the van and on the way to Walmart. Upon arriving and Daddy and Mama took Caytlin inside to buy the bike. We waited for long time in the car and when they finally returned, they had no bike.

Mama explained that they didn't carry the bike and so after calling another Walmart (who didn't have it), we decided to try a bike shop but the cheapest bike was $140 and up. So we went to Target

It seemed like forever before we saw Daddy and Mama rolling a pink little bike towards the car. We were all very happy to go home and without seconds delay we did so.

I felt pretty bad, we'd spent all day looking for the bike. It was now past dinnertime and we hadn't even bought her a cake or sang to her. Worser yet, for dinner we had eaten her least favorite meal, Spaghetti and while we were eating Caytlin came and told Mama that the tire on her new bike had popped while Daddy was blowing it up!

The Lord always works things out.

It just so happened(*wink*) that my Aunt called a little while later and told us she was coming over and she had a cake! It was an answer to prayer! She arrived with my cousin Christina and Grandma and we sang and enjoyed cake! Caytlin was very happy, but, little did she know....

SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The girls helped me throw a surprise party for Caytlin on Sunday August 17th, 2008 which we had planned way before her birthday! We all had alot of fun and it was a huge success. We had tea, then Mama read the story of Caytlin's birth (KJV), took a quiz about Caytlin, unscrambled some names, played "High Tea" (a ladylike version of Mafia), raced people with balloons in our mouths and books on our heads, sang and then presented Caytlin with her ice cream tower. Afterwards, we all shared a special memory of Caytlin. It was very special.

The Bible, Baby and Chess

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Psalm119:105

The Bible open with the light coming through a lace curtain
Daniel shows his snuggly side
The men enjoy a game of chessLet me think....

Good move!I'll keep score, gentlemen.

What's Cookin?

Ashley and Caytlin have decided to develop their cooking skills by preparing the entire meal on Saturday afternoons..... (Tip: It works out best to clean up as you go along) We had a lovely meat, cheese and vegetable pie for dinner. Dad's reaction? When can you make this again, ladies? Well done!!!

Making Work Fun

The weekends are usually pretty busy around our house. Dad is off work, so we try to do something as a family on Friday night and Saturday. Then, Saturday evening we are busy preparing for Sunday. Sunday usually flies by, Monday morning rolls around (much sooner than we would like) and Dad is off to work (with his two songs now) and we all file back into the house to survey the damage. It's usually not too bad as long as we have been faithful about getting the laundry done. However, there is always something to do! Doing the same tasks week after week can be less than exciting. It was neat to see how the children thought of fun ways to get the work done and play with the little ones at the same time.

Ryan and Joshua deliver laundry on a flying skateboard
Nathanael decides to offer his services (Good thing Ryan has strong muscles)

Another laundry delivery method...... this one is a little reminiscent of Bible times
Isaiah mans the mop
more laundry delivery in a flying basketAh, yes the dishes. A diligent effort must be made to keep them from piling up.
Here we see Nathanael developing his drawing skills. He, like Daniel, loves to draw.
After all the hard work it's time for a well earned nap!

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; (KJV)

Colossians 3:23

Dentist visit....

Most movies and books portray the dentist office as a terrifying and evil experience. Mom and I thought we'd go behind the senes with a camera, on a regular dentist check-up to see what it is really like, that and the fact that this was Natey's first check-up.......here are the pictures.
See, look at his smile.... nothing to worry about! The best news was that nobody had any cavities. Praise the Lord!

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (KJV)

2 Timothy 1:7
