A New Couch

We are excited about getting a new couch. This is something that has been needed for quite some time. One of the ladies on the board here at the church kept pushing for us to get another one, so today they bought us another couch and love seat. Very nice!!!







the old one.

A Hamburger

This is one of our friends, Peguy. He is a regular that comes to our house. We take so much for granted being from the United States. We were eating hamburgers one night while Tim's parents were here. Peguy was here also, so Tim asked him if he had ever eaten a hamburger. He said no. So the process started with Tim trying to show him how to make a hamburger and eating it. We had a good laugh and he did too. He made his hamburger by putting everything on the bread, except the hamburger. He seemed to like the hamburger. He also liked the pizza that he tried a few days earlier (he had never had pizza before).

Peguy has been coming to the church here since shortly after we moved here. He has a strong interest in the Bible. Please pray for him.

A Lost tooth

I'm a little behind in keeping up to date on the blog. Tanner lost his first tooth the other week. he was so excited once he realized that it was gone. He woke up in the morning and no one could find it. The kids searched high and low for it, but had no luck. Since this picture he has lost another front tooth.

Birthday Boy!!

My little boy has turned 7. Wow!! He has grown up so much. As I reflect over the past seven years, I am so thankful to the Lord for allowing me to live and to be able to raise Tanner. As many of you may know, God worked a miracle in my life after Tanner was born. God healed my body and allowed me to live. i was not suppose to live, I had a one percent chance of making it. God reached down and touched my body and I am alive because of Him.

Tanner is such a tender heart. He is always the first to say something nice to me. He will come up to me and say "Mom, you are beautiful" or Mom, I love you. He will give me a hug and it just makes my day. Some days it helps me make it through that day.

Tanner, I am very thankful to the Lord for you being brought into our lives. I love you very much.

Grandma and Grandpa Archibald are here visiting us and she made Tanner's cake. It is a ghost. He was very excited to have a cake that grandma made instead of a plain cake that I can only make. Thanks, mom for making the cake.

Blowing out the number seven candle. Grandma is looking on.

Tanner wanted some airplanes for his gift. So when our friend, Wendy came down we had her bring some from Walmart. Seeing the Walmart bag was a treat also. Ha!!

A beautiful sunset

The other night we were on the beach with our friend and got to see this beautiful sunset. I enjoy watching sunsets, especially when I'm on the beach. I love to see the beauty that God allows us to see.

An early Christmas

We had a friend from FL come to visit us for Thanksgiving and really enjoyed having her here. She brought some presents for the kids and so we had an early Christmas. The boys got some little models of a four wheeler, helicopter and a motorcycle and some hot chocolate. Alexis got an etch a sketch, a dora lunch box and hot chocolate. They really enjoyed this mini Christmas. Thank you so much Wendy for coming to visit us.


Here is Tyler opening his gift.

More of what has been happening

So much has happened while we were without power. One sad thing was that Trevor's cat Cheetah died. She fell out the window and from what we can tell, broke her neck. Trevor was very upset and it was decided for him to get another kitten. So we have another cat and her name is Panther. She is a very good cat for the most part.



Her is Trevor with Panther.



Panther is very smart. she likes to read. Here she is with the book "The town mouse and the country mouse".
