HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE!!!

Happy 13th man!! I am soooooooooooo proud of you. I can hardly believe your 13!! It seems like yesterday we were calling dad in Jordan to tell him he finally got a BOY!! I know it's been hard putting up with three older sisters,trust me, it hasn't always been easy for us having a younger brother...You always wanted to wrestle (even though you knew you couldn't win), you also would always beg to go with us on our dates... It never failed every time we gave in and took you along,the minute we got home you would run to mom and spill the beans about our dates!! We are still glad you are our brother. I can't imagine our life without you! you are always kind and thoughtful, not to mention the funniest in the bunch!!





This is a picture taken at a restaurant in Jordan . Hannah and I wanted to stop and take pictures before we went in.

Nate HOT and HUNGRY !! He was not thrilled



Sorry I cant be there for your Birthday. As soon as we get back I will take you to Chucky Cheese ........Oh I'm sorry I forgot your not 5 anymore!! I promise I'll take you somewhere nice!!

Leaving for Jordan!!!

Today Scott and I are leaving to go to Jordan for a few weeks. We leave from Columbus, go to NY, then to Paris, and our last stop Amman, Jordan. Our trip will take about 18 hours. Please pray for us, and also for family members there especially, for my uncle Inqula.

Ronald McDonald Youth Ministry

On Friday night, Our Youth Group went to the Ronald McDonald House. It is a ministry that involves cooking and serving a meal to families who have children with illnesses at Children's Hospital in Cincinnati. These are families who cannot afford expensive lodging and meals. Our Youth ministers once every month! We serve anywhere between 50-70 people. The young people really enjoy this ministry, and the people that are being served are always appreciative of the job well done! We are so proud of our youth group! Thanks guys!! Here are some pics of this past Friday night..


Ronald always enjoys the company,too!




On the menu this week: Chili, Corn Bread, Salad,
and DELICIOUS cookies!!




Lots and lots of meat!!


Who said work can't be fun?!?!




The families always enjoy music during their dinner!

Crossing Over!

I have finally crossed over to the blogging world!! I have no clue what I am doing..so here it goes!! Since my husband is working LONG hours this week,I have decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to tone down lizzie's nagging and Hannah's complaining of never knowing what's going on..I have GIVEN IN and started my own blog!! Most of my posts will be about...my husband, my house (that is being remodeled), our Youth group, whom we love and adore, and our sweet-sometimes cranky- mostly vicious 85 pound wolf-dog:) She can be all of those,but we sure do love her! Hope you enjoy our blog!!
