We'll Miss You!

Yesterday we said our final farewell to our good friends Eleazar and Heather.  These pictures were taken a few months ago at the LA Zoo.  Our prayers go out to the Nepomuceno's.

We'll miss these two HAMS (as Heather would say).

Lord, thank you for Ele and Heather and the blessing they are to PJ, the kids, and I.  Keep them near you as they travel tomorrow, and alert.  We pray for Ele to continue serving, loving, and gracefully leading Heather in Christ, and we pray for Heather to continue supporting, and joyfully submitting to Christ through Ele's leadership.  May they both make you supreme over each other and themselves for their ultimate joy in Christ Jesus. Help them find a solid church that they may pour into and be spiritually supported by.  In Christ name, Amen.

KOL

My awesome husband surprised me with Kings Of Leon (KOL) concert tickets.  I did mess it up and accidently found out...opps!  I felt bad.  Last monday we found babysitters (bless my mother, mother-in-law, TI, and Faye's heart) and headed over to the Hollywood Bowl for some great music.  I'm thankful for my husband because he toilerates my taste of music, we really like two totally different types of music, but that's ok because he loves me and enjoys it because I do.  I love him so!  We had a great time.

We had to get up and dance when our favorite songs were performed.  PJ laughed at how "white people" dance (please don't feel offended :).  He perceived it as dancing with "no bones," haha that's true!

I'm thankful for my husband who loves me and strives to show me more of Christ.

Fiesta Night

Last Tuesday we had an opportunity to surprise PJ's college buddy Ben Boards for his birthday, and we sure did.  It was great re-connecting and having good conversations.  Unfortunately no pictures of the birthday man :(

Good times!

4th of July

Corn, rice, ribs, pizza, and a BLT sandwich...

with a side of H2O fun...

side of kisses...

and a side of fireworks...

Good times at Dennis' house :)

Happy 5th

Our anniversary this year was a bit interesting because of how we celebrated.  Our Seattle trip was for our anniversary, but our official date June 25th landed on a Friday, and we wanted to go out of town for a night but that couldn't work because PJ needed to study for the sermon and his thesis.  So, this coming weekend we're doing an over nighter with hopefully no Story (awh I still love her and will miss her but a break would be nice).  I felt we had to do something on the 25th, so we celebrated with a nice breakfast at Foxy's.  

"Great camera work Rock!"

Our anniversary rings we got in Seattle.  Our love notebook to each other since we've been married included another page for our anniversary.

I love you SO much Lovely, I can't imagine my life without you!  You are my help mate, sexy, best friend, and I thank God for you.  I love your silliness and how we can laugh to avoid fights.  I LOVE how you play and interact with our beautiful children.  I love how you strive to have hot dates with me.  I LOVE how you want to point me to Christ (sorry for when I am sinful and don't want you to).  "You spice up my life!" (inside joke).

Lakers Baby! Queensbridge!!!

Seattle-Day 4

Our last day here and again one last stop here at Pike's Place.  We were eager to get home to our other two little babies.

On the venue: the Fremont Market

Making babies smile...

and great finds but not enough space!

 It was swell while it lasted, and hope to come again. We were so thankful to God for this time spent together, Lovely's accomplishment, and the great people we met.  Much LOVE for Seattle.
