Has it really been that long ?????

Hey well it's been a crazy end of summer and an amazing Fall this far. This is a fairly large post to catch everyone up on our journys.

Well Way back at the end of the summer we went to Cedar Point in Sandusky OH with my family. I grew up going there and love it so much! So my sister and all my nieces and nephews and well just abou the whole gang was there. Here are some pics.

Our Whole Family waiting to go in at 9:00 A.M and it's already 86 degrees!!!

Connor awake and sissy passed out!!!


Well after that trip we drove the kids up north to go camping with friends of ours while Ben and I headed to Florida for a Worship Conference. Here is a pic or two of Ben and I and some of the kids camping. After we got back from Florida we went up north to Mackinaw and went camping with the kids!!! So much fun but we were so TIRED!!!

Then we had a big shock happen we got a call that Ben's mom was having emergency heart surgery. So we made arrangements for the kids and got on the next Flight to Atlanta. She ended up having a quadroople bypass! She is doing fine now and healing. We threw her a mini bday party in the hospital before her surgery.


Then while we were in Georgia and the kids were in Michigan a Tornado Hit!



Madalynne is officially in Pre-K! She loves it she is in 4 days a week! my big girl!



Spicers Orchard! We went and picked Apples and we went and got our family pumpkins!

~~~~Fourth of July~~~~

Wow Thanks everyone for the prayers....it was pouring down rain in the morning but the skys opened up for the parade..we passed out close to 12,000 popsicles, candy and tickets and got to talk to so many people about Jesus it was so fun!

Then with Severe thunderstorms in the forcast and the skys turning grey thousands of dollars of equipment and rides at stake God opened up the sky with a beautiful sunshine...NOT A SINGLE DROP FELL THE ENTIRE EVENT.

SO many lives were touched, so many found Jesus, so many people were loved and honored!

YEAH GOD!!!




Whoever said moms can't have fun!



Some of the gals in the block at the parade. Passed out close to 10,000 tickets at the Parade!
