More pics of Kade and Frankie...


Thank you so much Noom Noom!

So the other day, Naomi got off work early,(She is staying with us right now)and she drove past me, and we stopped to talk for a minute, I noticed that she was wearing my favorite pair of earrings,and she didn't ask me. So, I was giving her a hard time about it, and then I had to go pick up Trey so I left. When I got home, she has this by my front porch, and she had dinner for us! It was so sweet! She had gotten off early to surprise me.I felt so bad for giving her a hard time about something that wasn't even that big of a deal! Anyway, the card was so sweet, it made me cry.This is what it said.....


"I've never had anyone accept me the way that you have. I can be myself around you, and expect nothing less than a warm heart and gentle spirit. We can laugh together and never worry about how we sound,we can cry together, and never worry about how we look after.Your wise counsil is priceless to me, and your genuine compassion comforts my soul. When you hurt, I hurt..and when you win in life, I'll be the one cheering the loudest!

God has given me a special person in you;to encourage me,lift me up, and never let me down. He's filled a very precious need, and given me a treasure to last a lifetime. What a privelage for me to call you a friend"

It has been alot of fun having Naomi around alot. We are all really glad she didn't move back to Grand Junction! She is really doing great in her life right now, and staying on the right track!![and now she asks before she takes my stuff ha ha ha]

We love you Noom Noom![Thats what Trey calls her]

This is true.....

When i say im a christian, im not shouting I AM SAVED, im whispering i get LOST, that is why i choose this way.







When i say im a Christian, im confessing that i stumble, and need SOMEONE to be my guide.







When i say im a Christain, im admitting i have FAILED, and i cant EVER pay the debt.







When i say im a Christian, im not claiming to be perfect, my flaws are WAY too visible, but God believes im WORTH it.







When i say im a Christian, i STILL feel the sting of pain, i have my share of HEARTACHES, which is WHY i seek HIS name.







When i say im a Christain, i do not wish to judge, i have NO authority, i only know ... im LOVED....

Good Vs. Evil

Naomi showed me the most amazing video! You have to watch it all the way through. Trust me!! It gives me the chills everytime I watch it! The first time I watch it I cried my eyes out! It is pretty much about GOD and all the worldy temptations that tear you away from him, and how satan tries to bring you down! JUST WATCH IT!!!!

PAUSE THE MUSIC PLAYER BEFORE YOU WATCH IT!
