Some pictures

Here is a link to view pictures of Carson and Gabe in the same sweater. Some were taken on December 17, 2007 and others on December 25, 2010.

And 2010 Christmas pictures too! Here is that link.

Hope you enjoy!

The B.I.B.L.E.

Carson has been singing some of his Sunday school songs around the house or in the car lately. Here is a video of it. Gabe sings it too, with a bunch of "eyeyaeyaeya" and then says "Bible!" really loud at the end. I haven't gotten a good video of that yet though...

David (of David & Goliath)

Last night (11.9.11) at AWANA, it was Bible character night. Carson's favorite story in the Bible is David & Goliath, so of course we had ourselves a little David running around. Trever made him a sling shot (we with held the rocks) to have for the night. As I already said, he loves this story and to have the sling shot was a blast (until it got taken away this morning for whippin' things) for the night.

How is every one's new year going? As fast as mine???

Aloha!

Pictures and Ice Skating

Here is the link for November pictures.

Here is the link for Carson's 4th birthday celebration.

More to come soon.

Hope everyone had a great New Years celebration. We had a great time going to bed at the normal time. It was a regular day and night for us but that was fine.

Carson went ice skating on NYE which was fun. He really caught on from when we first got there to when we were leaving. He is such a big boy! They grow so fast! Lord, please help me soak it all up.

It was SO cold on NYE! Oh goodness! This weather is something else!

Hope everyone is doing great! Aloha.

Merry Christmas!

May you and your family have a blessed CHRISTmas Day!

All our love! XOXO

Bravo Bravo!

Church was amazing today! Here is the link to listen to it once they have it up. The first part of church was touched by the Paradosi Ballet Company. They performed a lovely story called Commissioned: A Christmas Story.

This piece is a 40 minute Christmas production about Mary and Joseph, and how they were commissioned to be the parents of Christ. The beautifully orchestrated music includes excerpts from the motion picture soundtrack "Chocolat". This is a unique story that brings to life what might have been the history behind the calling placed on Mary and Joseph's lives. Commissioned is a one of a kind program that will leave you amazed at the love of our God and His desire to send a Savior.

Part of the story showed how Mary's friends reacted to her going to have a baby. To say the least, they were not nice to her. After they left and had had baby Jesus they had this lovely scene where Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus (he was a real baby in the show and was put in a wooden bassinet) where kneeling under a large wood cross. The other gals were dancing while a beautiful recording was played. It spoke about how baby Jesus needs to rest tonight because he was entering a world that would hate Him. To rest his sweet baby hands because he would be King, but would never have gold or silk. He would use his hands to heal people with leprosy. To rest his mouth, because God's word would be spoken out of it. To rest his baby feet, because he would walk and share God's love with many people.

It was just lovely. As I sat there crying, all I could think about was how God, the Father, knowingly and willingly gave His one and only Son for me. So that I could join him in heaven for all eternity! As a mom, I can't even being to comprehend how God felt with knowing that His Son was going to be put on a cross. It just amazes me. It is just mind boggling. I can't comprehend that love he has for strangers.

I know we are all busy with cards, gifts and cooking, remember as this Christmas Season is here, why we are celebrating. The greatest gift ever to be given is Jesus being born into this world, to save me and you. He loves you and wants to have a relationship with you this day.

I wish I could show you the ballet show from church. You can look at their site and if you get a chance, go see them! They are amazing!

Have a very Merry Christmas! Remember Jesus is the Reason for the Season.

We love you!

Praise Him!

My Birthday Celebration(s)

Well, another year has gone by which means I am a year wiser. :) There was a lot of celebrating this year!

It started on the 6th for the Coster family dinner.



Then it continued to a celebration at my moms a week later.

Gina, Jodie and me!

The next day with my besties.

Getting ready to go to a movie.

And believe it or not there is one more lunch date with two girlfriends. Needless to say, I am feeling very blessed and really appreciate every one taking time to be with me.

Aloha!

Lunch or Snooze?

Today while Gramma and Carson were out doing some errands, Gabe and I got some things done around the house. Dishes, laundry, polished some boots and started to work on lunch.

We didn't get too far with that event. :)




Hope you are all doing fantastic! This time of year is so crazy busy with us and our family. Birthdays, holidays, birthdays and more birthdays and then more holidays and so it continues until March 25th (Gabe's 2nd birthday). It makes the cold, not so fun weather go by a little faster which is very welcomed! ;)

Aloha.

A Word from the Lord for moms!

Thank you Ken for posting this on my FB wall!

I really needed to hear this and remember that the Lord has given me Carson and Gabe. And they are my job right now, to train them up in the Lord. They are beautiful gifts from the Lord and I need to remember that instead of the harder parts of each day.

So, moms out there listen to this and be encouraged that the Lord has given you what you are needing to supposed to be doing right this very minute.

Thank you Lord for the word from Christy and for Ken for passing it on to me!

Aloha!
