A Rosey Of A Day

This past Saturday at ZPizza (I really like this place;) I met up with my good friend Rose, who I haven't sat down and chatted with for about 3 years!  We once bumped into each other at a restaurant, but I don't count that.  Anyways, what a blessing of a time.  Our two hours went by SO fast, so much to catch up on!  I cherish our friendship and want to make more of an effort to count our blessings together.

Beautiful Rose carrying a baby girl in her tummy!  And she looks spectacular too :)

A pleasant treat.  Love you Rose, we gotta do it again!

Dental Appointment

For the whole family except Story. We were practicing a little to get them use to the idea and surprisingly everyone did well.  I think the grown-ups had a little more trouble than the kids :)

Then we treated them with a yummy cupcake...Heyyyy don't judge!  We promised if they did well, and they did!

Celebrating...

Danika's birthday with an old tradition of, ZPizza, yummy Sprinkles, and beach time!  The kids love their ate Danika.  

We constantly pray for Danika's happiness and growth in the Lord.  We pray she'll be blessed with more years to come and more love for Jesus Christ that increases her happiness in Him.  Lord, help her to grow, by your grace,  in her desire to make you supreme in her life, in all she does, thinks, and says.  In Christ name, Amen.

We love you Danky!!!

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!
