Blogging Explosion

Okay, so I've been a little busy...sorry to keep you all waiting...we've had so many good times over the last few months, it's time to share!!! You might have to scroll way down to catch everything that I've added! Sorry...



I have to get busy posting so that Rachel and Lamar can keep up with us...Gosh how I miss them.



Anywho...hope you all enjoy!

Ethan is toothless!


In case you all haven't noticed my son is growing up...He's lost his two front teeth! Wow...soon he'll be driving a car...I'm definitely not ready for that! God grant us the strength to raise these two beautiful boys!



Ethan's 5th Birthday!

We had Ethan's Birthday at Dixie Cafe. It was packed!





He was so shy...








I love my mom! She colored along with the other kids. I want to be like my mom more and more everyday...she is the BEST!





Ethan's favorite present was his remote controlled four wheeler, but he absolutely loved his "first" monetary gift from Grandma and Grandpa Hibbard!



After the party we went bowling as a family! We had a blast! Ethan got to go bowling because he got all green faces at school that week! GO ETHAN!!!! We knew you could do it!



Hanna's Baptism!
















The Lord rejoices along with his people every time that a child declares Jesus as the Lord and Saviour of their life! Praise God for Hanna! We love you, Hanna! May you see God in all things!


Playing in the Rain!







The boys were outside playing with Dennis when it started pouring down rain! It was still warm outside, so we they just decided to cool off and play in the rain. They had such a great time running and splashing all over the place! Thank God

for rain!

The Face Mask!

Kids are always so curious and want to do everything their parents do. Well...I had an avocado face mask on one night and the boys wanted to have one on too! So I masked them up! They pretended they were little green monster aliens! It was hilarious!













The Supermen (or Superboys)!

So our nephews Peyton and Bryce were over the other day...The boys love to play dress up with their favorite super hero. So today I found all their superman capes and they pretended to be supermen! What's funny is we had a garage sale and this desk was the only thing left. They knocked it down just so they could pick it up with their "super" strength. They really did pick it up off the ground...it took all four of them...but they did it! They thought they really did have super powers after that!!!! It cracked me and Celeste up!












Family Vacation to Branson

So in July we took a family vacation to Branson. I cleaned out my car and my trunk...that was a task in and of itself! The boys helped though! :)

We went to Dixie Stampede and Silver Dollar City...we went shopping, and miniture golfing and we had a great time!!! This was the first "official" family vacation we've had in years...it was long over due!

Thank God for healing hearts and mending families!






The boys were so happy to go to Silver Dollar City. This is my favorite pic of the entire trip!



I even rode the Jumpin'Frogs! LOL!


It's nice to be the only "Queen" of the family! My King is so handsome!






It was Kid Fest at Silver Dollar City that month. We saw the Veggie Tales show, a magic show and the Swedish group, Jeerk. It was awesome!!! Jake loved Bob!


























































This was the beautiful view coming home from Branson. We took Hwy 7 home instead of 65. It was absolutely the longest ride home, but it was the most relaxing and most beautiful. Sometimes it is just best to take your time and enjoy the open road!


We had such a great time! We all can't wait to go back and try some new things!

The Dish Washers!

So Ethan and Jacob have started doing several "chores" around the house. They have been cleaning their rooms (without my help now), vacuuming (with their little baby vacuum-it's so cute), and washing the dishes (which is their favorite thing to do). I'm trying to raise some hard little workers for the Lord!
